Remarks: Description exclusively made after dried material from 

 Ternate, N. -Guinea, Ambon, the Philippines and Singapore, adding below 

 particular quotations from other sources. By its large obovate leaves, this 

 variety reminds one strongly of A. officinalis L; it differs, however,; 

 especially with regard to the flowers. The most conspicuous differences 

 between the var. Rumphiana (HALL, f.) BAKH, and A. officinalis L, 

 are the following: Small branches, petiole, underside of the mid-nerve, 

 peduncles etc. being covered with a thick (gray?) down; small foliate 

 inflorescence, (without warty glands), consisting of small cymes in the shape 

 of heads which are often in pairs in the axils of the leaves; and especially 

 by the small flowers with their short or nearly wanting glabrous styles, 

 the well-developed stigmata curved outwards, and the ovaries glabrous at 

 the base. Undoubtedly this form belongs to A. marina (FORSK.) VlERH.. 

 though it is characteristic by the somewhat longer hairs of the ovary.
