the actual type of which, however, was a Bengal plant that 

 is Dysoxylum hamiltonii Hiern. Hasskarl, Cat. Hort. Bot. 

 Bogor. (1844) 221, erroneously reduced it to Hartighsea forsteri 

 J uss.= Dysoxylum forsteri C. DC, a species of Australia and 

 Polynesia; while Roemer, Hesper. (1844) 101, placed it under 

 Prasoxylum alliaceum Roem., presumably a synonym of Dysoxy- 

 lum alliaceum Blume, of Java and Sumatra. 



DYSOXYLUM sp. 



Arbor nussalavica Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 14, t. 8, f. 2. 



Manifestly this is a species of Dysoxylum, and one that should 

 be readily recognized when once collected. Hamilton thought it 

 was referable to the genus Guarea, and Teysmann, quoted by 

 Hasskarl, Neue Schliissel (1866) 186, thought it was referable 

 to Epicharis= Dysoxylum Blume. 



DYSOXYLUM sp. 



Arbor sebi Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 7. 



The plant described was from Java, there known as cadoja. 

 This name is still applied to two or more species of Dysoxylum 

 in Java, so that Arbor sebi is probably referable to this genus. 



LANSIUM (Rumphius) Correa 



LANSIUM DOMESTICUM Correa in Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris 10 (1807) 

 157, t. 10. /. 1; Poir. in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 3 (1813) 299; Jack in 

 Trans. Linn. Soc. 14 (1823) 115, t. 4. 

 Lansium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 151, t. 5£. 



This common and well-known Malayan fruit tree is not rep- 

 resented in our Amboina collections. Lansium was originally 

 reduced, with doubt, to Averrhoa acida Linn, by Linnaeus, 

 Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 119, in which he was followed by a few 

 authors. Correa, Jack, Poiret, and recent authors generally, 

 have referred it to Lansium domesticum, the correct disposition 

 of it. The generic name Lansium is taken from Rumphius, 

 and by some authors Rumphius is quoted as its author. The 

 tree is commonly cultivated in most parts of the Malayan region, 

 but like many other cultivated plants, it is poorly represented in 

 herbaria. 



AGLAIA Loureiro 



AGLAIA ODORATA Lour. Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 173. 



Camunium sinense Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 26, t. 18, f. 1. 

 Tsjiulang Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 38. 



This commonly cultivated ornamental tree is not represented 

 in our Amboina collections, but the figure cited and both of the
