unmistakably those of Triumfetta. The figure has by some 

 authors been referred to Urena, by others to Triumfetta. The 

 description of Lappago amboinica sylvestris is certainly that of 

 a Triumfetta, Hasskarl, "Neue Schliissel (1866) 163, has re- 

 ferred it to Triumfetta rotundifolia Lam., but Lamarck's species 

 is Indian not Malayan. 



The oldest name for this species is Bartramia indica Linn. Sp. 

 PI. (1753) 389, but the specific name is invalidated in Triumfetta 

 by Triumfetta indica Lam. Triumfetta bartramia Linn, was 

 based on Bartramia indica Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 389, with the 

 addition of a reference to "Rumph. Amb. 3: t. 119" which is 

 Commersonia bartramia (Linn.) Merr. I interpret the type of 

 Bartramia indica Linn, as Fl. Zeyl. 17 U, which according to 

 Thwaites, Fl. Ceyl. 1 (1893) 180, is Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq., 

 who also states that : 



The name T. Bartramia has priority (1762), but Linnaeus may have 

 included in it more than T. rhomboidea Jacq. as now understood.

ABUTILON INDICUM (Linn.) Sweet Hort. Brit. (1827) 54. 



Sida indica Linn. Cent. PI. 2 (1756) 26, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 324.

This species is not represented in our Amboina collections, but 

 Rel. Robins. 251 8 from Boeleleng, Bali, is Abutilon indicum 

 Sweet. Abutilon laeve Rumph. was originally considered by 

 Linnaeus to represent a variety of Sida abutilon Linn., in Stick- 

 man Herb. Amb. (1754) 15, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 125. It 

 was first reduced to Sida indica Linn, by Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. 

 (1790) 414, which as Abutilon indicum (Linn.) Sweet is cer- 

 tainly the correct disposition of it. By some authors it is 

 considered to represent Sida indica Sweet var. populifolia (Lam.) 

 Mast, in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 1 (1874) 326, while Roxburgh, 

 Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 3 (1832) 178, erroneously placed it under Sida 

 abutilon Linn.= Abutilon avicennae Gaertn.

Sida hirta Lam. Encycl. 1 (1783) 7.
