RHIZOPHORACEAE 
BRUGUIERA Lamarck 
1921 
BRUGUIERA CYLINDRICA (Linn.) Blume Enum. PI. Jav. (1828) 93; 
Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. (1917) 388. 
Rhizophora cylindrica Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 443. 
Rhizophora caryophylloides Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 109. “Habitat 
in India.” 
Bruguiera caryophylloides Blume Enum. PI. Jav. (1828) 93.

as Bruguiera caryophylloides Blume. 
COMBRETACEAE 
GUISQUALIS Linnaeus 
QUISQUALIS INDICA Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1762) 556. 
Quisqualis pubescens Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 104, t. 35, f. 2, t. 28, 
f. 2 (var. p glabra). “Habitat in Amboina.” 
Both drawings represent the well-known Quisqualis indica 
Linn.; Burman’s species can be safely placed as a synonym of 
the Linnean one. 
MYRTACEAE 
PSIDIUM Linnaeus 
PSIDIUM CUJAVILLUS Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 114. “Habitat in India.” 
Psidium pumilum Vahl Symb. 2 (1791) 56. 
Psidium angustifolium Lam. Encycl. 3 (1789) 17. 
Burman’s binomial is the proper name for the species more 
commonly known as Psidium pumihmi Vahl. His type was 
probably from Java. Cujavillus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 145, 
t. U9, is correctly placed as a synonym. 
EUGENIA Micheli 
EUGENIA AQUEA Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 114. “Habitat in Amboina.” 
This is typified by Jambosa aquea Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 126, 
t. 38, f. 2, there being no evidence that Burman had a specimen. 
The species is widely distributed, in cultivation, in the Malayan 
region.
