agaru

agaru (sometimes considered to be a synonym of aguru)

(1) a) Chopra: [COMMIPHORA ROXBURGHII (ARN.) ENGL.] = [C.

AGALLOCHA (WIGHT ET ARN.) ENGL.] = BALSAMODENDRUM

ROXBURGHII ARN. = AMYRIS COMMIPHORA ROXB.;

b) KB 1, p. 528-529: COMMIPHORA AGALLOCHA ENGL. = BALSA-

MODENDRUM ROXBURGHIII ARN. = AMYRIS COMMIPHORA

ROXB.; the Index Kewensis disagress with Chopra and KB

and distinguishes:

a) COMMIPHORA MUKUL ENGL. = C. ROXBURGHII ENGL. = BAL-

SAMODENDRUM ROXBURGHII STOCKS = B. WIGHTII ARN.;

b) COMMIPHORA ROXBURGHII ALSTON = C. AGALLOCHA ENGL. =

BALSAMODENDRUM AGALLOCHA WIGHT ET ARN. = B. COMMI- [Page-522+ 39]

PHORA ROYLE = B. ROXBURGHII ARN. = AMYRIS COMMI-

PHORA ROXB.; the confusion in the nomenclature is due to the

fact that Chopra identifies C. ROXBURGHII ENGL. with C.

AGALLOCHA ENGL., distinguished as two species in the Index

Kewensis, and that he considers C. MUKUL ENGL. as a separate

species, synonymous with B. MUKUL HOOK. EX STOCKS, while

C. MUKUL ENGL. is a synonym of C. ROXBURGHII ENGL. in the

Index Kewensis; Hooker describes (1, p. 529): a) BALSAMO-

DENDRON MUKUL HOOK. EX STOCKS = B. ROXBURGHII STOCKS

= (?) B. WIGHTII ARN., and b) B. ROXBURGHII ARN. = AMY-

RIS COMMIPHORA ROXB. = (?) AMYRIS AGALLOCHA ROXB.;

Cooke describes (1, p. 212-213) COMMIPHORA MUKUL ENGL. =

BALSAMODENDRON MUKUL HOOK. EX STOCKS = B. ROX-

BURGHII STOCKS (NON ARNOTT); Duthie (1, p. 139-140) agrees

with Cooke;

(2) AQUILARIA AGALLOCHA ROXB. (Chopra; IRM 1, p. 89-90; KB 3,

p. 2171-2172; Nadk. 1, nr. 208; Watt CP, p. 72-74);

(3) AMYRIS AGALLOCHA ROXB. (MW; PW); acc. to HK this is a

synonym of AQUILARIA AGALLOCHA ROXB., but the Index Kewensis

regards it as a separate species;

(4) SAPIUM SEBIFERUM ROXB. (KB 3, p. 2284);

(5) EXCOECARIA AGALLOCHA LINN. (Chopra; KB 3, p. 2285-2286);

(6) DYSOXYLUM MALABARICUM BEDD. EX C. DC. (Avk; Nadk. 1, nr.

902).
