true European Rosmarinus officinalis Linn., which is cultivated 

 for medicinal purposes in sandy soil near the sea in the Philip- 

 pines and, probably, in various parts of Malaya. It is very 

 generally known in the Philippines by its Spanish name, romero. 



LEUCAS Burman 



LEUCAS ZEYLANICA (Linn.) R. Br. ex Spreng. Syst. 2 (1825) 472 

 (ceylanica) . 

 Phlomis zeylanica Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 586. 



Herba admirationis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 39 quoad descr., excl. 

 U 16, f. 1. 



Amboina, Batoe mera, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. U75, July 20, 1913, in 

 open places at low altitudes. 



The description appears to me to apply unmistakably to the 

 widely distributed Leucas zeylanica R. Br., but the plant figured 

 is certainly the next species, Leucas lav anduli folia Sm. Burman 

 f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 127, originally reduced Herba admirationis 

 to Leonurus indicus Linn., which is correct as to the plant figured. 

 Murray, Syst. (1774) 450, placed it under Phlomis zeylanica 

 Linn., in which he was followed by Willdenow, Persoon, Poiret, 

 Henschel, and Pritzel, while Don and Dietrich cite it under 

 Leucas zeylanica R. Br.; Walpers, Repert. 3 (1845) 877, refers 

 it to Leucas linifolia Spreng. = Leucas lav anduli folia Sm., the 

 correct disposition of the figure, but scarcely of the description. 



LEUCAS LAVANDULI FOLIA Sm. in Rees Cyclop. 20 (1813) no. 2. 



Leonurus indicus Linn. Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1101, Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1763) 



817, non Leucas indica R. Br. 

 Leucas linifolia Spreng. Syst. 2 (1825) 743. 



Herba admirationis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: t. 16, f. 1, excl. descr. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 The figure of Herba admirationis Rumph. unmistakably rep- 

 resents this species, but the description applies to Leucas zeyla- 

 nica (Linn.) R. Br., above. 



SALVIA Linnaeus 



SALVIA PLEBEIA R. Br. Prodr. (1810) 501. 



Tschintschau Javanense Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 90; 7: t. 21, /. 2. 



This reduction of Tschintschau javanense is probably correct. 

 The plant described was from China and from Semarang, Java. 

 The Chinese name is given by Rumphius as tsinsau and sienthau. 

 Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 167, merely placed it in the 

 Labiatae. It is, at least, a Salvia, whether or not Salvia plebeia 

 R. Br.
