ARALIACEAE 



409 



Polyscias nodosa Seem. Miquel cites it as a synonym of Eupteron 

 nodosum (Blume) Miq., while Seemann quotes it in the original 

 transfer of the species to Polyscias as cited above. 



NOTHOPANAX Miquel 



NOTHOPANAX SCUTELLARI U M (Burm. f.) comb. nov. 

 Crassula Scutellaria Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 78. 

 Aralia cochleata Lam. Encycl. 1 (1783) 224 (type!). 

 Panax cochleatum DC. Prodr. 4 (1830) 253 (type!). 

 Panax scutellarioides Reinw. in Blume Bijdr. (1826) 880. 

 Nothopanax cochleatum Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 1 1 (1857) 766. 

 Scutellaria prima Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 75, t. 31. 



This commonly cultivated and characteristic shrub is not 

 represented in our Amboina collections. The first post-Linnean 

 description of the species seems to be that of Burman f ., whose 

 specific name is here adopted. Burman cites Scutellaria prima 

 Rumph. as a synonym of his Crassula Scutellaria, but by error 

 cites the illustration as t. 30 instead of t. SI. Rumphius's figure 

 and description are the whole basis of Aralia cochleata Lam., 

 and hence of Panax cochleatum DC. and of Nothopanax cochle- 

 atum Miquel. The Rumphian figure has for the most part 

 been cited in literature under the names Panax cochleatum DC. 

 and Aralia cochleata Lam. 



NOTHOPANAX TRICOCHLEATU M Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. (1862) 340. 

 Panax rumphii Hassk. in Abh. Naturf. Gesellsch. Halle 9 (1866) 220 



(Neue Schliissel 78) (type!). 

 Scutellaria secunda latifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 76. 



This cultivated form is not represented in our Amboina col- 

 lections. Panax rumphii Hassk. was based wholly on the 

 Rumphian description and has been overlooked by all subsequent 

 authors; it is not included in Index Kewensis. From the de- 

 scription compiled by Hasskarl and from Rumphius's original 

 and more ample description, I can see no reason for considering 

 it other than Nothopanax tricochleatum Miq. The form de- 

 scribed by Rumphius in this chapter as daulae probably belongs 

 in Nothopanax, but the description is too indefinite to warrant 

 its certain reduction. 



NOTHOPANAX PINNATUM (Lam.) Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 1 1 (1857) 766. 

 Panax pinnatum Lam. Encycl. 2 (1788) 715 (type!). 

 Panax ? secundum Schultes Syst. 6 (1820) 215 (type!). 

 Polyscias rumphiana Harms in Eng'l. & Prantl Nat. Pflanzenfam 3 s 

 (1894) 45. 



Scutellaria secunda angustifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 76, t. 32. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections.
