Notes
If the proposal to reject Pinus dammara LAMB, in favour of Agathis borneensis WARB. is not accepted, the proper name of this species would be Agathis dammara (LAMB.) RICHARD, a name heretofore (incorrectly) associated with different species of Celebes, the Moluccas and the Philippines (see under A. celebica and A. philippinensis). If various closely related species were combined as varieties or subspecies under this species, there would be no reason to reject the name Agathis dammara.
