RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



in light forests, altitude 50 meters; Amboina town, Robinson PL Rumph. 

 Amb. 541, October 25, 1913, from cultivated trees, locally known as guyang 

 and daun gayang. 



This reduction of Gajanus seems first to have been suggested 

 by Lamarck, Encycl. 3 (1789) 253, which has been accepted by 

 all succeeding authors and is the correct disposition of it.

Amboina, Binting, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 527, September, 1913, 

 locally known as saga, saga alus, and daun saga. 



This species is too well known to need discussion. The orig- 

 inal reduction of Abrus frutex to Glycine abrus Linn.= Abrus 

 precatorius Linn, was made by Linnaeus, in Stickman Herb.

Amboina, Gelala, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 543, August 25, 1913, along 

 roadsides at low altitudes, locally known as bunga sayor and sayor katjang. 



This species is too well known to need discussion. Flos coeru- 

 leus was first reduced to Clitoria ternatea by Linnaeus, in Stick- 

 man Herb. Amb. (1754) 19, and has been consistently cited here 

 by all succeeding authors.

This species is not represented in our Amboina collections, but 

 the Rumphian figure is an excellent representation of the widely 

 cultivated and well-known soy bean. It was originally reduced
