to Garcinia picrorhiza Miq., its position had not been recognized 

 by any author. 



GARCINIA PICRORHIZA Miq. var. LI MONORH IZA Boerl. Cat. Hort. Bot. 

 Bogor. (1899) 68. 

 Pharmacum limonicum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 137, t. 4-4, f. B. 



This is, in all probability, correctly placed by Boerlage. It 

 is in cultivation at Buitenzorg, but is not represented in Robin- 

 son's Amboina collections. 



GARCINIA sp.? 



Vidoricum domesticum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1 : 173. 



This form is of wholly doubtful status. Henschel thought 

 that it might be a species of Bassia or of Diospyros. I have 

 suggested Garcinia, as Rumphius states that the bark yields a 

 yellow juice, and his description otherwise conforms fairly well 

 with the characters of Garcinia.

Dammara selanica Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 168, t. 56. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections 

 and is not credited to Amboina by Rumphius in the original 

 description. The Rumphian description and figure are the 

 whole basis of Unona selanica DC, Englehardtia selanica Blume, 

 and Hopea selanica W. & A., and it is to be noted that Englehard- 

 tia selanica Blume and Shorea selanica Blume were published 

 without reference to the earlier Unona selanica DC. In trans- 

 ferring the species to Shorea, Blume adds a short description, 

 probably from Moluccan specimens. Burck, Ann. Jard. Bot. 

 Buitenz. 6 (1887) 216, gives a more ample description based on 

 specimens collected by Reinwardt and by Teysmann and on 

 plants cultivated in the botanic garden at Buitenzorg, Java. 



SHOREA SELANICA Blume var. LATI FOLIA Blume Mus. Bot. 2 (1852) 33. 

 Dammara selanica femina Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 169 (type!). 



Blume originally reduced Dammara selanica femina, by error, 

 to Englehardtia spicata Blume Fl. Jav. 2 (1836) Jugl. 8, followed 

 by Hasskarl's equally erroneous reduction of it to Englehardtia
