Nauclea macrophylla Roxb. was originally described from 

 specimens cultivated in the botanic garden at Calcutta and 

 received from Amboina, the original tree still existing at Calcutta 

 as late as 1897. Linnaeus, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 122, placed 

 Samama, with doubt, under Cephalanthus orientalis Linn., which 

 was manifestly an erroneous disposition of it. Hasskarl, Neue 

 Schliissel (1866) 48, thought that it might be the same as Antho- 

 cephalus morindifolius Korth., but also quoted Teysmann to the 

 effect that it was Nauclea elegans Teysm. & Binn., a name that 

 otherwise seems never to have been published and which must 

 be typified by Samama Rumph.; it is not included in Index 

 Kewensis. Samama is manifestly the same as Anthocephalus 

 macrophyllus Havil.

Rumphius does not indicate to which of the two forms de- 

 scribed the illustration pertains, but after a study of the two 

 descriptions I have concluded that it goes with Folium princi- 

 pissae latifolium, not with Folium principissae angustifolium, 

 the reverse of Hasskarl's consideration of the two. Folium prin- 

 cipissae angustifolium as described is certainly represented by 

 the specimen cited above, which differs radically from the illus- 

 tration in its inflorescence. See the following species for a 

 historical discussion of Folium principissae.
