184 H. TRIMEN—HERMANN'8 CEYLON HERBARIUM 
16. Justicia Adhatoda, Sp. 15 .... Adhatoda Vasica, Nees. 
17. Justicia Ecbolium, Sp. 15 ....  Ecbolium Linneanum, Kurz. 
18. Justicia Betonica, Sp. 16 .... J. Betonica, L. 
19. Justicia procumbens, Sp. 16.. J. procumbens, L. 
20. Justicia repens, Sp. 16 ...... Rungia repens, Nees. 
21. Justicia echioides, Sp. 17 .... Andrographis echioides, Nees. 
22. Utricularia vulgaris, Sp. 18 .. Utricularia flexuosa, Vahl. 
23. Utricularia cerulea, Sp. 18 .. U. cerulea, L. 
24. Ballota disticha, Mant. 83.... Anisomeles ovata, Br. 
25. Anthoxanthum indicum, Sp. 28. Perotis latifolia, Ait. 
26. Piper nigrum, Sp. 28......... Piper nigrum, L., and P. Betle, L.? 
The specimens are mostly P. nigrum; but one seems rather to 
be referred to the next. 
27. Piper Betle, Sp. 28.......... P. Betle, L.? 
The specimens have smaller and narrower leaves than the ordi- 
nary cultivated Betel Pepper of Ceylon. Burman’s t. 83. fig. 2 
well represents them, and is quoted with approval by Linnsus. 
28. Piper Malamiris, Sp. 29 ...... P. Betle, L., var.? 
This name is doubtfully applied by authors. The specimens 
consist of leaves only, and appear to belong to a variety of the 
Betel-plant, but are only 5-nerved. The name “ Wal miris," 
given by Hermann, however, means wild pepper, and not Betel. 
Linnsus has taken another Singhalese name,“ Malamiris " (also 
given by Hermann in Mus. Zeyl. p. 24), as his specific name. 1 
cannot understand the note P. Amalago in Fl. Brit. Ind. v. p. 95, 
as there is no reference to Fl. Zeyl. no. 28 under that species in 
Linn. Sp. i. p. 9. 
In the Banksian Herbarium there is another specimen 
from Hermann, sent to Gronovius, and labelled “ Malamiris, 
Bakamumumiris, & Walmiris" by theformer. This has 7-nerved 
leaves, and appears different from the specimens in Hermann’s 
own herbarium. 
29. Piper Siriboa, Sp. 29 ........ P. Siriboa, L. 
The specimen is the “ Rata-bulat-wel” (=foreign Betel) of 
the Singhalese, which is much cultivated, and is supposed to 
have been introduced from the Malay Islands. I agree with 
C. de Candolle and Sir J. Hooker (Fl. B. Ind. v. p. 85) in con- 
sidering it a large-leaved form of P. Betle. 
30. Piper longum, Sp. 29 ........ P. longum, L. 
31. Commelina nudiflora, Sp. 41.. Aneilema nudiflora, R. Br. 
32. Commelina cristata, Sp. 42 .. C. cristata, L. (drawing). 
33. Tamarindus indica, Sp. 34.... T. indica, L.
