Merrill: Bur man’s Flora Indica

There is nothing in the description by which the identity 
of this species can be determined with absolute certainty, it con- 
sisting only of the statement: “Foliis pinnatis, foliolis ovatis 
serratis impari aequali, petiolis alatis subcanaliculatis.” The 
type probably came from Java, which being so the species is 
clearly no Schinus, all species of which are American. It can 
scarcely be other than a synonym of Rhus javanica Linn., more 
commonly known as R. semialata Murr. 
SAPINDACEAE 
ALLOPHYLUS Linnaeus 
ALLOPHYLUS TRIPHYLLUS (Burm. f.) comb. nov. 
Usubis triphylla Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 89, t. 32, f. 1. “Habitat in 
Java.” 
Allophylus javensis Blume Rumphia 3 (1847) 183. 
Burman’s species has been reduced to Allophylus cobbe (Linn.) 
Blume, sensu lat., but the latter is limited to India and Ceylon. 
Usubis triphylla is clearly identical with Allophylus javensis 
Blume.

ZIZYPHUS Tournefort 
ZIZYPH US JUJU BA (Linn.) Lam. Encycl. 3 (1789) 318.

Rhamnus nummularia Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 61, saltern pro parte. 
“Habitat in Zeylona & Java.” 
It is suspected that two or more species are included in the 
references given by Burman. The Javan reference to Pryon 
is probably Zizyphus jujuba (Linn.) Lam., there being no other 
Javan species known to which the descriptive sentence applies. 
“Rhamnus persica herb. Garzin.” probably appertains to Zizy- 
phus rotundifolia Lam. The Ceylon references probably apper- 
tain to Zizyphus jujuba Lam. and Z. oenoplia Mill. 
ZIZYPHUS SPINI-CHRISTI (Linn.) Willd. Sp. PI. 1 (1797) 1105. 
Rhamnus spini-christi Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 195. 
Rhamnus heterogenea Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 61. “Habitat in India 
orientali & Persia.” 
Burman’s species is apparently referable to Zizyphus spini- 
christi (Linn.) Willd.
