Compilers comments: Note Decaisne in 1844 made a mistake in quoting page numbers from Herbarium Amboiensis 5 (1747) by Rumphia. Coronaria Ariadnes is on page 466 not 464 and the Drawing (figure) is tab. 172 not 175. This mistake was copied (carried forward) in 1849 by Blume: in 1856 and again in 1863 by Miquel and in 1852 by Walpers.
