Merrill: Bur man's Flora Indica 
345 
This was apparently based on an actual specimen collected by 
Pryon, in Java ( ?) . The only other reference given is to Herba 
supplex quinta Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 111, t. 51, f. 2, which is 
Dendrobium calceolum Roxb. Whatever Burman’s species may 
ultimately prove to be, it is clearly a Dendrobium of the section 
Aporum. 
DICOTYLEDONS 
SALICACEAE 
SALIX Tournefort 
SALIX CHINENSIS Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 211 (err. typ. 311). “Habitat 
in China and Java.” 
This would appear to be identical with the later Salix japonica 
Thunb. FI. Jap. (1784) 24, t. 31, which is common in Japan and 
in China, and which has long been cultivated in Java. It is to 
be noted that Koorders, Exkursionsfl. Java 2 (1912) 44, cites 
among other Javan specimens in the herbaria at Leiden and 
Utrecht a specimen “Kultiviert, ohne Fundort (Herbar Javan. 
Burman fide Blume = S. Japonica ) .” Burman’s name, being 
the older, should be retained. 
MORACEAE 
FICUS Tournefort 
FICUS AMPELOS Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 226. “Habitat in India.” 
Burman gives, in addition to his short descriptive sentence, 
first, a reference to Folium politorium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 
4: 128, t. 63, and second, one to Teregarh Rheede Hort. Ma- 
labar. 3: 79, t. 60; these two forms certainly are not conspecific. 
The species should be interpreted from the first reference and 
is, I believe, the form amply described by Koorders and Valeton, 
Bijdr. Boom. Java 11 (1906) 162, under Burman’s binomial. 
* FICUS GROSSULARIOI DES Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 227. “Habitat 
in Suratta.” 
This has been reduced to Ficus heterophylla Linn. f. Suppl. 
(1781) 442, which, if the correct disposition of it, would involve 
the acceptance of Burman’s specific name for the species. It 
is probable that this reduction was based on the identity of 
Valli-teregam Rheede Hort. Malabar. 3: 83, t. 62, which Bur- 
man cites as representing his variety (3, and which manifestly 
represents Ficus heterophylla Linn. f. Burman’s very short de- 
scription was based on an actual specimen collected by Garcin.
