332 RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



probably includes more than Gluta benghas Linn., but the figure 

 and the description, at least for the most part, apparently belong 

 here. Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 587, discusses it under 

 Vernicia montana Lour., but does not refer it to this species, 

 which is supposed to be Aleurites moluccana Willd. It is the 

 type and whole basis of Terminalia vernix Lam. Hasskarl seems 

 to have been the first author to reduce it to Gluta benghas Linn., 

 Flora (1844) 619, in which he was followed by Endlicher, 

 Blume, and Miquel, and, very generally, by recent authors. 

 Miquel also discusses it following Terminalia angustifolia Jacq., 

 Fl. Ind. Bat. I 1 (1855) 599, overlooking the fact that Terminalia 

 vernix Lam., which he considered to be a doubtful species, was 

 based on Arbor vernicis Rumph., which in the same work, l 2 

 (1858) 624, he correctly placed under Gluta benghas Linn.

This is not represented in our Amboina collections, but the 

 species is known to occur in the island. I have followed Blume 

 in this reduction, as it is very probable that he was correct in 

 referring Condondum Rumph. to Evia acida Blume. Engler 

 considers that Blume's Evia acida is a variety of Spondias dulcis 

 Forst. Linnaeus originally reduced Condondum to Chrysobala- 

 nus icaco Linn., in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 8, Amoen. Acad. 

 4 (1759) 119, a pure error on his part, the reduction being 

 abandoned in his later writings. Lamarck, Encycl. 3 (1791) 

 697, followed by Hamilton, Mem. Wern. Soc. 5 2 (1826) 358, 

 thought that it was Mangifera pinnata Linn, f., which was 

 figured by Rumphius under the name Condondum malaccense, 

 t. 61. Mangifera pinnata Lam., non Linn, f., is Sorindeia 

 madagascariensis Thouars.
