GONYSTYLACEAE 



GONYSTYLUS Teysmann and Binnendyck 



GONYSTYLUS BANCANUS (Miq.) Baill. ex Hook. f. & Jackson Index 

 Kewensis 2 (1895) 1055. 

 Aquilaria bancana Miq. PI. Ind. Bat. Suppl. (1860) 141, 355. 

 Gony stylus miquelianus T. & B. in Bot. Zeit. 20 (1862) 265. 

 Agallochum spurium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 40. 



Teysmann and Binnendyck reduced Agallochum spurium 

 Rumph. to Gony stylus miquelianus T. & B., in Miq. Ann. Mus. 

 Bot. Lugd. Bat. 1 (1864) 133, where the species is minutely de- 

 scribed and figured. It is impossible definitely to determine from 

 Rumphius's description whether the plant he had in mind was 

 G. bancanus Baill. or was one of the other species of the genus. 

 The fact that a portion of his material came from Borneo leads 

 one to suspect that he may have had one of the Bornean species, 

 G. affinis Radlk., G. borneensis Gilg, G. pluricornis Radlk., or 

 G. calophyllus Gilg. 



Agallochum spurium album Rumph., very briefly described in this 

 chapter, is indeterminable from any data at present available. 

 Agallochum spurium III, merely mentioned, is Excoeearia agallocha 

 Linn., later described and figured by Rumphius, Herb. Amb. 

 2: 237, t. 79, 80 (see p. 327). 



TILIACEAE 



CORCHORUS Linnaeus 



CORCHORUS CAPSULARIS Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 529. 



Ganga sativa Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 212, t. 78, f. 1. 



This spcies is not represented in our Amboina collections, but 

 Rumphius's figure is unmistakably Corchorus capsularis Linn. 

 It was first reduced by Linnaeus, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 

 21, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 130, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1079, all 

 later authors concurring in this reduction. 



CORCHORUS OLITORIUS Linn. Sp. PL (1753) 529. 



Ganga agrestis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 213 (haud t. 78, f. 2). 



This species is not represented in the Amboina collections. 

 The description is unmistakably that of Corchorus olitorius Linn. 

 The figure, however, is certainly no Corchorus, but I am unable 

 to suggest what species was intended; it does not agree at all 

 with the description in either its leaf or its fruit characters. 

 The figure was referred by Linnaeus to Corchorus olitorius in 

 Stickman, Herb. Amb. (1754) 21, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 130.
