AQUILARIA MALACCENSIS Lam. Encycl. 1 (1783) 49. 



Aquilaria secundaria DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 59 (type!). 

 Aquilaria ovata Cav. Diss. (1790) 377, t. 22J>. 



Agallochum secundarium (coinamense et malaicense) Rumph. Herb. 

 Amb. 2: 34, 35, t. 10. 



This species was not described from Amboina material. It 

 is apparently the same as Aquilaria malaccensis Lam. Lamarck 

 cites the Rumphian description and figure in his original descrip- 

 tion. The figure is cited by Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 267, 

 under Aloexylum agallochum Lour., but with a reference to 

 Agallochum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 29= Aquilaria agallocha 

 Roxb., not to Aquilaria secundarium Rumph. Roxburgh's Aqui- 

 laria agallocha. is a species published quite independently of 

 Aloexylum agallochum Lour, and is hence not to be interpreted 

 by Loureiro's description. From the characters assigned by 

 Loureiro to Aloexylum, his plant seems to belong in the Legu- 

 minosae, although it has very generally been considered to be 

 the same as Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. Aquilaria secundaria 

 DC. was based wholly on Rumphius's description and figure of 

 Agallochum secundarium and is a synonym of Aquilaria malac- 

 censis Lam. 



AQUILARIA AGALLOCHA Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 33, nomen nudum, 

 DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 59; Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 2 (1832) 422. 

 Agallochum s. Calambac Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 29. 



The status of Agallochum or Calambac is doubtful. It was 

 not described from Amboina material, but probably is the same 

 as the Indian Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. Agallochum "officina- 

 rum Lam.," cited as Encycl. 1 (1783) 48 and listed in Index 

 Kewensis as a synonym of Aquilaria malaccensis Lam. 1. c. 49, 

 I consider has no status, as Lamarck certainly did not intend a 

 publication, but merely discussed the plant under Bauhin's name, 

 Agallochum officinarum Bauh. Pin. (1623) 393.
