RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



lections. The figure and description manifestly apply to the 

 form generally known as Canavalia gladiata DC, which is found 

 in scattered cultivation in most tropical countries. Linnaeus 

 originally, but erroneously, reduced Lobus machaeroides to Doli- 

 chos ensiformis Linn. = Canavalia ensiformis DC, in Stickman 

 Herb. Amb. (1754) 23, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 132, Syst. ed. 

 10 (1759) 1162, Sp. PL ed. 2 (1763) 1022, in which he was 

 followed by Burman f., Lamarck, and Loureiro. Willdenow, 

 Sp. PL 3 (1800) 1039, referred it to Dolichos gladiatus, which 

 as Canavalia gladiata (Jacq.) DC. is the correct disposition of 

 it. Canavalia machaeroides DC. (C. gladiata DC. var. machaer- 

 oides DC.) is based wholly on Rumphius and thus becomes a 

 synonym of Canavalia gladiata (Jacq.) DC, although placed in 

 Index Kewensis as a synonym of Canavalia cathartica Thouars.

 Amboina, Soja road, Batoe gadjah, and Amboina (town), Robinson PL 

 Rumph. Amb. 607, July and August, 1913, in thickets and waste places, 

 sea level to an altitude of 200 meters, locally known as katjang panjang. 



The species briefly described by Rumphius is referred here 

 with some doubt, although the description applies closely to 

 Pueraria phaseoloides Benth. Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 

 136, thought that it might be Glycine mollis W. & A. Phaseolus 

 minimus Rumph., described in the same chapter and figured, 

 is Phaseolus aureus Roxb.

Phaseolus balicus was originally reduced by Linnaeus to his 

 Cytisus cajan, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 23, Amoen. Acad. 

 4 (1759) 132, to which it certainly belongs. The oldest valid 



* Retained name, Brussels Congress; Cajan Adans. (1763) is older.
