BAUMEA Gaudichaud

Amboina, Amahoesoe, Rel. Robins, 1895, on steep banks, altitude about

I am not sure that the identification of this specimen with Baumea glo- 
merate t, Gaudich. is correct, as I have not access to the original description 
and figure, while the description given by other authors is very short and 
imperfect. The type, however, was from the Moluccas. The specimen 
very closely resembles a series of allied forms that have been described as 
Baumea deplanchei Boeckl., of New Caledonia; Cladium colpoides Laut., of 
New Guinea; Cladium sinuatum Ridl., of New Guinea; Cladium juncoides 
Elm., of the Philippines; and Cladium gaudichaudii W. F. Wight of the 
Caroline Islands.
