SAPINDACEAE 



337 



Amb. 2 : 188, t. 62, as described and figured, under which the two 

 species discussed above are briefly described, is no Allophylus, 

 but is Evodia amboinensis Merr. (Evodia triphylla auct. plur., 

 non DC.) (see p. 290). 



SAPINDUS Linnaeus 



SAPINDUS RARAK DC. Prodr. 1 (1824) 608. 



Dittelasma rarak Hook. f. in Benth. & Hook. f. Gen. PI. 1 (1862) 395. 

 Saponaria Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 134. 



This is not represented in our Amboina collections, but Sapon- 

 aria is unquestionably the same as Sapindus rarak DC, which 

 was based in part on Rumphius and in part on a Javan specimen. 

 Rumphius notes that the plant was abundant in Java, but oc- 

 curred in Amboina only as an introduced one. Burman f., Fl. 

 Ind. (1768) 91, referred it to Sapindus saponaria Linn., in which 

 he was followed by Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 238, but 

 Sapindus saponaria Linn, is a species entirely distinct from S. 

 rarak DC. 



LEPISANTHES Blume 



LEPISANTHES sp.? 



Arbor palorum alba parvifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 98, t. 65 

 (excl. /. A.). j ! 



The form figured and described by Rumphius is of doubtful 

 status. Poiret, in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 3 (1813) 479, thought 

 that it might be Pometia pinnata Forst., which is certainly 

 incorrect. De Candolle, Prodr. 1 (1824) 615, erroneously 

 identified it as Stadmannia sideroxylon DC. Blume, Rumphia 3 

 (1837-47) 149, thought that it might be the same as Scoro- 

 dendron pollens Blume= Lepisanthes pollens Radlk., which was 

 described from Timor specimens. Teysmann, quoted by Hass- 

 karl, Neue Schliissel (1866) 55, placed it under Irine=Mna 

 =Pometia, where it certainly does not belong. If Blume's 

 surmise that it is identical with Scorodendron pollens is correct, 

 it is strange that Rumphius did not mention the peculiar onion- 

 like odor that is characteristic of Blume's species. 



SCH LEICH ERA Willdenow 



SCH LEICH ERA OLEOSA (Lour.) comb. nov. 



Pistacia oleosa Lour. Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 615. 

 Schleichera trijuga Willd. Sp. PI. 4 (1805) 1096. 

 Cussambium spinosum Ham. ex Henschel Vita Rumph. (1833) 143 

 (type!). 



Cussambium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 154, t. 57.
