H. montanum Blume (Carl Ludwig von Blume) in Bijdragen tot de Flora van Nederlandsch Indie, sec3, pt16, p956, (1825/26). (Bijdr.)

Described as having short-petioled oblong leaves, yet Jack described H. formicarum as having short-petioled elliptic-ovate leaves, a tenuous distinction.

Therefore, J. D. Hooker in Flora of British India vol.3, p194, (1881) sank H. montanum into H. formicarum.

Other uses of H. montanum.

P240 mentions Hydnophytum http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/1864#page/248/mode/1up.

H. montanum (Blume) Miq. in Annales Musei Botanici Lugduno-Batavi vol.4, Select Rubiaceae of The East Indian Archipelago, pp256/7, (1869) (Ann. Bus. Bot. Lugd.- bat) as Hydrophytum montanum (sic) a typographical error on pp256/7. Yet on p309 correctly as Hydnophytum montanum.

Original Latin http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/2547#page/282/mode/1up.

H. montanum Scheff (Rudolph Herman Christiaan Carel Scheffer) was an illegitimate name according to Tropicos,

http://www.tropicos.org/Name/100204726. It was used in Annales du Jardin Botanique Buitenzorg, vol 1, plantes de la Nouvelle-Guinée, p31 (1876). (Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg)

http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/88793#page/40/mode/1up

But as I advised, Scheff correctly cites (Blume) Miq. loco citato (citing) p256, referring to (Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd.- bat)

Furthermore, Odoardo Beccari in Malesia raccolta 2, p151. (1884/5) under H. moseleyanum var teysmannii cites Scheff as his source, hence the error. Now corrected in the Tropicos database.

(Scheff.) Becc. Malesia Raccolta, 2 (3) p156, (1884/5) as

Scheff http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44197691#page/202/mode/1up also pp90- 92.

 H. montanum var. latifolia Miq. (Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel) see Hydnophytum formicarum f. latifolium (Miq.) Becc. and in turn H. formicarum.
