Michelia euonymoides Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 124. “Habitat in 
Indiis.” 
Burman’s species is certainly only a form of the earlier 
Michelia champaca Linn.; the Javanese name cited by Burman 
is one of those still in use in Java for the Linnean species. The 
Rumphian synonym cited represents Michelia tsiampacca Linn., 
whatever that may ultimately prove to be. I have not seen 
Sloane’s figure which Burman also cites as a synonym, but it 
probably does not represent Burman’s species. 
LAURACEAE 
CINNAMOMUM Blume 
* CINNAMOMUM sp. 
Laurus malabatrum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 92. “Habitat in Mala- 
baria & Amboina.” 
There is no description, the species being based on references 
to Rumphius, Rheede, and “Malabathrum malabaricum Garcin. 
herb.” The reference to Rumphius represents Cinnamomuni 
javanicum Blume. Burman’s species is manifestly typified by 
the Malabar specimen and the reference to Rheede, and is hence 
identical with the form described by Solander as Laurus mala- 
bathrica Soland. in Roxb. FI. Ind. ed. 2, 2 (1832) 297. Hooker 
f., FI. Brit. Ind. 5 (1886) 136, was unable to place it to his 
satisfaction.
