440 RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



TELOSMA Coville 



(Prageluria N. E. Brown) 



TELOSMA ODORATISSIMA (Lour.) Coville in Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 9 

 (1905) 384. 



Cynanchum odoratissimum Lour. Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 166. 

 Pergularia odoratissima Sm. Ic. (1790-93) t. 16. 



Apocynum odoratissimum Lour, ex Henschel Vita Rumph. (1833) 

 202. 



Asclepias odoratissima Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 20, nomen nudum, 



Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 2 (1832) 46. 

 Flos siamicus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 58, t. 26, f. 1. 



This widely cultivated species is not represented in our 

 Amboina collections. Flos siamicus Rumph. was reduced by 

 Loureiro to Cynanchum odoratissimum Lour, in the original 

 description of that species, which, as Telosma odoratissima 

 Coville, is certainly the correct disposition of it. It has been cited 

 by various authors under all of the synonyms listed above. The 

 species is generally known as Pergularia odoratissima Sm. ; but 

 Pergularia of Linnaeus is an entirely different African genus, 

 as pointed out independently by Coville and by N. E. Brown, 

 the former proposing the generic name Telosma in 1905 for the 

 Indo-Malayan species of Pergularia, and the latter the name 

 Prageluria in 1907. 



ASCLEPI ADACEAE indet. 



Funis papius latifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 14, t. 10. 



A woody vine, not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 Lamarck, Encycl. 2 (1786) 236, placed it with doubt under 

 Cynanchum mauritianum Lam., which Poiret later referred to 

 Periploca mauritiana Poir., in Lam. Encycl. 5 (1804) 188, and 

 Don, to Streptocaulon mauritianum Don. It is certainly not this 

 species, whatever it may be.
