he took to be two species are certainly due only to translations 

 of Blanco's descriptive terms in indicating the fruit and leaf 

 characters. 



POMETIA Forster 



POMETIA PINNATA Forst. Char. Gen. (1776) 110. 

 Irina glabra Blume Bijdr. (1825) 230. 



Dabanus (incl. Dawan batu, Dawan mera, Dawati puti) Rumph. Herb. 



Amb. 3: 31, 32, tt. 16, 17. 

 Amboina, Negri lama, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 2, September 8, 1913, 

 on river banks at an altitude of about 25 meters, locally known as tauwan 

 itam; Kati-kati, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 3, October 7, 1913, in light 

 forests, altitude about 90 meters. 



The reduction of Dabanus of Rumphius to Irina glabra Blume 

 was made by Blume, Rumphia 3 (1847) 114; that is, Dawan batu 

 Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 31, t. 17, to Irina glabra var. solida Blume 

 and Dawan mera Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 32 to Irina glabra var. 

 rubra Blume. Irina glabra Blume is a synonym of Pometia 

 pinnata Forst. All three forms indicated by Rumphius are 

 apparently referable to the widely distributed and variable 

 Pometia pinnata Forst. Plate 1 6 represents a fruiting specimen 

 and plate 17 a flowering specimen, the latter distinctly charac- 

 teristic, the former rather crude, yet unmistakably a Pometia. 



JAG ERA Blume 



JAGERA SERRATA (Roxb.) Radlk. in Sitzb. Math.-Phys. Acad. Muench. 



8 (1878) 303. 



Sapindus serratus Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 88 nomen nudum, L v l, 



Ind. ed. 2, 2 (1832) 284. 

 Jagera speciosa Blume Rumphia 3 (1847) 155. 

 Papaja silvestris minor Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 150, t. 53, f. 2. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 Blume makes this reduction in the original description of Jagera 

 speciosa, which is probably the correct disposition of Papaja 

 silvestris minor Rumph. 



MISCHOCARPUS Blume 



M ISC HOC AR PUS FUSCESCENS Blume Rumphia 3 (1837-47) 169. 



Arbor palorum alba latifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 99, t. 65, quoad 

 /. A. 



This may or may not prove to be the correct disposition of 

 the form that Rumphius described, the reduction following 

 Miquel's suggestion. It is at least a representative of the 

 Sapindaceae.
