RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



Nauclea lanosa Poir. in Lam. Encycl. Suppl. 4 (1816) 64 (type!). 

 Funis uncatus lanosus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 65, t. SU, /• 3 {fig. C, 

 in expl. pi.). 



Amboina, Ernies, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 154, August 9, 1913, along 

 the edges of forests, altitude about 250 meters. 



Funis uncatus lanosus Rumph. is apparently the whole basis 

 of Nauclea lanosa Poir., which Haviland reduces to Uncaria 

 lanosa Wall., although Poiret's species may have been based on 

 actual specimens. Roxburgh, Fl. Ind. 2 (1824) 126, referred 

 t. f. 2, 3, of Rumphius to Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb., 

 which is certainly an erroneous disposition of both figures. The 

 type of Uncaria pedicellata Roxb. was from the Moluccas. I 

 have adopted Loureiro's specific name for the species as it is much 

 older than any of the others and as there is no doubt as to the 

 identity of Restiaria cordata Lour. ; for Haviland, who cites it 

 as a synonym of Uncaria pedicellata Roxb., examined Loureiro's 

 original specimen in the herbarium of the British Museum. 

 Rumphius's reduced figure of Funis uncatus lanosus is rather 

 poor, but his description applies unmistakably to the plant here 

 interpreted as Uncaria cordata (Lour.) Merr. Dr. Valeton 

 thinks that fig. 3 may go with Uncaria pteropoda Miq. and fig. 1 

 with U. cordata Merr. 



UNCARIA SET I LOB A Benth. in Hook. Lond. Journ. Bot. 2 (1843) 223. 



Uncaria florida Vid. Phan. Cuming. Philip. (1885) 176. 

 Funis uncatus angustifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 63, t. 3J+, f. 2 {fig. 

 B. in expl. pi.). 



Amboina, Batoe merah and Way tommo, Robinson PI. Rumph. Amb. 149, 

 August, 1913, on river banks and hillsides, altitude 5 to 80 meters. 



Roxburgh, Fl. Ind. 2 (1824) 126, referred this to Uncaria 

 gambir Roxb., which is certainly wrong. Miquel, Fl. Ind. Bat. 

 2 (1857) 150, thought that it might be Uncaria ferrea DC. It 

 is unquestionably the same as Uncaria setiloba Benth., the type 

 of which was from Amboina, and which is identical with the 

 rather widely distributed Philippine form later described by 

 Vidal as Uncaria florida. The species is known only from the 

 Philippines and Amboina.

 Funis uncatus latifolius Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 63, t. 34, f. 1 {fig. A.
