PI MELA CARYOPHYLLACEA Blume Mus. Bot. 2 (1850) 222. 

 Canarium sinense III Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 154 (type!). 



Based originally on Chinese material by Rumphius. Pimela 

 caryophyllacea Blume is based wholly on Rumphius's very brief 

 description, and all that can be said regarding it is that it is 

 probably a species of Canarium. 



CANARIOPSIS PAUCIJUGA Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 1 2 (1859) 653 (type!). 

 Pimela paucijuga Blume Mus. Bot. 1 (1850) 226 (type!). 

 Canarium odoriferum leve var. Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 156. 



A species of entirely doubtful status, based wholly on the 

 Rumphian description and to be interpreted solely by it. All 

 that can be definitely stated regarding it is that it is a species 

 of Canarium. Its further determination must await additional 

 botanical material from Amboina. 



GARUGA Roxburgh 



GARUGA ABILO (Blanco) Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. (Philip.) 35 (1905) 73. 

 Guiacum abilo Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 364. 



Garuga mollis Turcz. in Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. 31 1 (1858) 475. 

 Capraria Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 139? 



Capraria Rumph. is here tentatively referred to Garuga abilo 

 Merr. The description applies closely, although Rumphius does 

 not describe the flowers or the fruits. The only previously 

 suggested reduction is Teysmann's opinion, quoted by Hasskarl, 

 Neue Schlussel (1866) 35, that Capraria might belong in the 

 Sapindaceae. 



PROTIUM Burman f. 



PROTIUM JAVANICUM Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 88. 

 Amyris protium Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 65. 

 Tingulong Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 54, t. 23, f. 1. 



This reduction, manifestly the correct disposition of Tingu- 

 long, was made by Burman f. in the original description of 

 Protium javanicum Burm. f . 



MELIACEAE 



TOON A Roemer 



TOON A SURENI (Blume) comb. nov. 



Swietenia sureni Blume Cat. Gew. Buitenz. (.1823) 72. 

 Cedrela febrifuga Blume Bijdr. (1825) 180. 

 Surenus febrifuga O. Kuntze Rev. Gen. PL 1 (1891) 111. 

 Surenus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 66, t. 39. 



This is not represented in our Amboina collections. The 

 illustration is unmistakably that of Cedrela, or Toona as the
