Amoen. Acad. 4 vl?59) 136, and has been cited by various 

 authors under this name, under Villarsia indica Vent., a syn- 

 onym, and under Limnanthemum indicum Griseb. It is to be 

 noted that in the description of the plate in Rumphius the figure 

 is listed as representing Nymphaea indica minor /, but the de- 

 scription of this is Nymphaea; the description of Nymphaea 

 indica minor II ceramica is unmistakably Limnanthemum and 

 of the plant figured. 



APOCYNACEAE 



NEUBURGIA Blume 

 NEUBURGIA M USCU LI FOR M IS (Lam.) Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 2 (1857) 403. 

 Cerbera musculif 'ormis Lam. Encycl. 1 (1783) 62 (type!). 

 Banksia musculif ormis Gaertn. Fruct. 1 (1788) 221 (type!). 

 Neuburgia tuber culata Blume Mus. Bot. 1 (1850) 157. 

 Fructus musculiformis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 184, t. 60. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections; 

 Rumphius's material was from Ceram. Fructus musculiformis 

 Rumph. is the whole basis of Cerbera musculiformis Lam. and 

 of Banksia musculiformis Gaertn., and hence of Neuburgia 

 musculiformis Miq. and of N. tuberculata Blume. It is not at all 

 clear that Neuburgia tubiflora Blume, of New Guinea, is speci- 

 fically distinct, and Miquel reduces it as a synonym of N. muscu- 

 liformis (Lam.) Miq. 



CARISSA * Linnaeus 



CARISSA CARANDAS Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 52. 



Mespilus silvestris Burm. Index Univ. Herb. Amb. (1755) [14] (type!) 

 non [18]? 



Carissa spinarum Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 559, saltern quoad syn. Rumph. 

 Echites spinosa Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 69. 



Capparis carandas Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 118, 119, saltern quoad 

 syn. Rumph. 



Oxyacantha javana Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 39, t. 19, f. 31 

 Carandas Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 57, t. 25. 



Carandas Rumph. is cited in the original descriptions of all 

 of the species listed above, except Carissa spinarum Linn, and 

 Mespilus silvestris Burm., and is undoubtedly referable to typical 

 Carissa carandas Linn. It has been almost universally cited 

 under the Linnean name. Oxyacantha javana Rumph. is of 

 doubtful status, but is possibly the same as Carissa carandas 

 Linn. It was placed by Linnaeus under Carissa spinarum Linn, 

 in the original description of that species, but Linnaeus mani- 



* Retained name, Vienna Code; Arduina Mill. (1760) and Carandas 

 Adans. (1763) are older.
