gests that it may be Citrus macracantha Hassk. The figure 

 might be either a form of Citrus aurantium Linn, or a small- 

 fruited form of Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr. (C. decumana 

 Linn.).

 Lussa radja Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 27, t. 15. 



This characteristic and widely distributed Malayan species 

 is not represented in our Amboina collections. The Rumphian 

 figure is the full basis of Brucea sumatrana Roxb. by citation in 

 the original place of publication, Hort. Beng. (1814) 12. It is 

 also cited by Loureiro in the original description of his Gonus 

 amarissimus, Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 658. The form "II ex Solora" 

 Rumph., 1. c. 28, may be referable to the same species; it was 

 characterized as differing from the Javan form in its longer 

 inflorescences and in its larger and more intensely bitter fruits.

AILANTHUS I NTEGRI FOLIA Lam. Encycl. 3 (1791) 417 (type!). 

 Ailanthns moluccana DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 89 (type!). 

 Arbor coeli Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 205, t. 132. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 Arbor coeli Rumph. is the whole basis of Ailanthus (Aylanthus) 

 integrifolia Lam. as published in 1791, while A. moluccana DC, 

 1825, is merely a new name for Lamarck's species, so that both 

 must primarily be interpreted from the Rumphian figure and 

 description. Linnaeus, Mant. 2 (1771) 379, thought that it 

 might possibly be referable to Adenanthera falcataria Linn., 

 which is Albizzia falcata (Linn.) Backer (see p. 249) ; while 

 Henschel erroneously referred it to Connarus pentagijnus Lam.
