Quercus molucca
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 1199. 1753
.
"Habitat in Moluccis." RCN: 7211.
Type not designated.
Original material: [icon] in Rumphius, Herb. Amboin. 3: 85, t. 56. 1743.
Current name:
Lithocarpus moluccus
(L.) Soepadmo
(
Fagaceae
).
Note:
Merrill (
Interpret. Rumph. Herb. Amb.
: 31, 186. 1917) indicates both that
Linnaeus'
name is wholly based on the cited Rumphius element, and also that it is to be typified by material from the Sula Islands. See also Soepadmo (in
Reinwardtia
8: 290. 1970), who stated that as the original specimen was lost and the original description and figure are not recognisable, the name should be treated as doubtful.
