There is no specimen of this species in our Amboina collec- 

 tions; and, although both of the figures cited above are crude, 

 there is very little doubt that both are properly referable here. 

 The reduction of Mangium celsum was first made by Lin- 

 naeus, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 12, Amoen. Acad. 4 

 (1759) 123, Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1043 (Rhizophora gymnorhiza 

 Linn.), in which he was followed by various other authors. 

 Since the transfer of the species to Brugiera, the plate has very 

 generally been cited under B. gymnorhiza Lam., although Blume 

 placed it under his B. rumphii. Mangium minus Rumph. is 

 manifestly a mixture, the leaves and fruits apparently being 

 the same as those of B. conjugata (B. gymnorhiza), but the 

 flowers and figures A and B certainly represent Bruguiera cylin- 

 drica Blume, below. It is, excluding figures A and B, the whole 

 basis for Rhizophora palun DC. Blume, Mus. Bot. 1 (1849) 143, 

 suggests that the description, but not the plate, of Mangium 

 minus s. palun may be Ceriops zippeliana Blume (see Ceriops 

 tagal (Perr.) C. B. Rob. p. 386). It is to be noted that the two 

 attached flowers on the plate of Mangium minus Rumph. Herb. 

 Amb. 3: 106, t. 69, and figures A and B, were copied by Burman 

 from Rheede's figure of Cari Candel, Hort. Malabar. 6 : t. 33, and 

 have nothing to do with the plant actually figured and described 

 by Rumphius; see under Bruguiera cylindrica (Linn.) Blume, 

 below.
