Note that some of the information in both these accounts is problematic. Note also that the Charles Moore Agathis collections in the Lindley Herbarium at Cambridge (CGE) appear to have been lost or destroyed.

Typification information comes primarily from Whitmore (Pl. Syst. Evol. 135 (1980): 41-69), Mabberley (Telopea 9: (2002): 743-754) and my own researches. Any corrections or queries would be extremely welcome.

Place of publication refers to the place of publication of the combination used here.

Place of typification refers to the publication in which the type of the species is designated, which may or may not be either the place of publication of this combination or the place of publication of the basionym. In some instances, where two syntypes are designated and one of these is later selected as lectotype, two references are given.

Synonymy will at some point be added.

Agathis dammara (Lamb.) Rich. & A. Rich
The taxon to which this name refers is called A. celebica in both Flora Malesiana and Farjon's World Checklist. The name Agathis dammara is mistakenly treated as the correct name for A. borneensis in Farjon's World Checklist, probably as a result of a misinterpretation of an erroneous 'Note' on page 434 of the Agathis account in Flora Malesiana. For an explanation of this confusion, see the argument advanced by Veldkamp & de Laubenfels (1984) in Taxon 33: 337-347, and see also its rejection by the IAPT Committee for Spermatophyta, as being based on flawed premises, in Taxon 36: 734-762, and also my forthcoming paper.

Agathis macrophylla (Lindl.) Mast.
TYPE: C. Moore s.n. (also interpreted as 'No. 9'). (see Mabberley 2002)
PLACE OF PUBLICATION: J. Roy. Hort. Soc. 14: 197. (1892).
PLACE OF TYPIFICATION: Whitmore (1980), in Pl. Syst. Evol. 135: 61
Neither in the original description, nor in Mabberley (2002), nor in Whitmore (1980) is the species typified unambiguously onto to a numbered specimen, nor is this task performed by Dümmer (J. Roy. Hort. Soc. (1913) 39: 83), whose immensely useful study of the Lindley Herbarium at CGE sadly cannot be construed as an exercise in lectotypification. In any case, little of the Moore Agathis material at CGE seems to survive (it may have been destroyed during the 1950s). Whitmore (1980) lectotypifies the specimen on to C. Moore s.n.: given the ambiguities of the specimen numbering system adopted by Moore, this might well be the very same specimen as that listed by Dümmer and Mabberley as 'No. 9': certainly the specimen at K is unnumbered save for '9' written in blue crayon on the type folder.
