Agathis alba (Rumph. ex Valmont) Foxw., Philipp. J. Sci. 4:4 427. (1909) et Philipp. J. Sci. 1910: 173. (1910)

  • Note: Still commonly found as a synonym of Agathis dammara (Lamb.) Rich. & A.Rich., Comm. Bot. Conif. Cycad.: 83 (1826), but if Dammara alba Rumph. ex Valmont, Dict. Rais. Hist. Nat., nouv. éd. 4, 4: 398 (1800) is the earliest accepted description of this plant then Agathis alba (Rumph. ex Valmont) Foxw. (1909) has priority.
