RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



rather variable, and it certainly includes the Philippine form 

 described as Cordia blancoi Vidal. Hasskarl, Neue Schliissel 

 (1866) 61, considers that the species described by Rumphius is 

 Cordia subpubescens Spanogh., which de Candolle, Prodr. 9 

 (1845) 482, retains as a valid species, the description of which 

 does not appear to me to apply to Arbor glutinosa Rumph. 



TOURNEFORTIA Linnaeus 



TOURNEFORTIA ARGENTEA Linn. f. Suppl. (1781) 133. 



Buglossum lanuginosum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 119, t. 55. (err. t. J^5) . 



Amboina, Latoe halat, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 38Jk, September 22, 

 1913, along the seashore, locally known as kol laut. 



This was reduced, with doubt, by Linnaeus to Tournefortia 

 foetidissima Linn., in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 17, Amoen. 

 Acad. 4 (1759) 127, but Tournefortia foetidissima Linn, is an 

 American species entirely different from T. argentea Linn. f. 

 The reduction of the Rumphian name Buglossum lanuginosum 

 to Tournefortia argentea Linn. f. seems first to have been made 

 by Willdenow, Sp. PL l 2 (1797) 793, which is certainly the 

 correct disposition of it. 



VERBENACEAE 



CALLICARPA Linnaeus 



CALLICARPA CUSPIDATA Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 1 (1832) 394. 

 Mamanira alba Rumph. Herb. Amb. 4: 124, t. 59. 



Amboina, Hitoe messen, Robinson PI. Rumph. A.mb. 299, November 6, 

 1913, in forests at an altitude of about 100 meters, "buds lilac but flowers 

 white, fruit deep lilac, not white." 



Doctor Robinson notes on the field label that he considers the 

 identification of this specimen with Mamanira alba as certain; 

 the only discrepancy between the specimen and the description 

 is that the fruits are deep lilac, not white. Hasskarl, . Neue 

 Schliissel (1866) 84, has suggested that Mamanira alba is Sponia 

 pubigera Miq. ( = Trema), but this cannot possibly be the case 

 in view of the ample data given by Rumphius in the description. 

 The inflorescences in Rumphius's figure are very poorly drawn. 



Schauer * has reduced Callicarpa cuspidata Roxb., which was 

 very briefly described by Roxburgh from specimens originating 

 in the Moluccas (probably Amboina), to the Indian Callicarpa 

 lanata Linn. = Callicarpa tomentosa (Linn.) Murr., in which he 

 is certainly in error. Nor is the Australian Callicarpa pedun-
