AN INTERPRETATION OF RUMPHIUS’S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 
By E. D. Merrill 
Based on the collections made in Amboina by the late Charles Budd 
Robinson 
Order No. 450. Bureau of Science Publication No. 9. Paper, 595 pages and 2 maps. 
Price $3, United States currency, postpaid. 
The Herbarium Amboinense is a classical work on the Malayan 
flora and one that is absolutely essential to the systematist to-day. 
The great importance of the work is due to the fact that later 
authors have made the Rumphian descriptions and figures the 
actual “types” of many binomials. As an original source the 
Herbarium Amboinense stands preeminent among all the early 
publications on Malayan botany. 
Professor Merrill’s interpretation of the Herbarium Ambo- 
inense discusses the status of each species described by Rumphius 
and assigns it to a position in the modern system of classifica- 
tion. This publication will be of great service to any one work- 
ing on Indo-Malayan systematic botany.
