140 H. TRIMEN—HERMANN’S CEYLON HERBARIUM 
137. Mimusops Kauki, Sp. 349 .. M. Kauki, L. 
The specimen (vol. i. fol. 35) is certainly not the plant whose 
native name is quoted from Hermann’s Mus. Zeyl. by Linnæus, 
which is 188. Mimusops Elengi, of which the specimens are in the 
herbarium (vol. ii. fol. 40). It is indeed not recorded at all in its 
place in the Mus. Zeyl., where it should appear on p. 7. This ren- 
ders it doubtful whether it was collected in Ceylon. It appears 
to me to correspond pretty closely with Javan specimens ofthe 
tree still known as M. Kauki, with long petioles and a pale under 
surface to the leaves, and not with M. indica, to which Mr. Ben- 
tham (Fl. Austral. iv. p. 285) has referred it. M. Kauki I have 
never seen in Ceylon, either wild or cultivated; but it may well 
have existed there in gardens in Hermann's time. The Fl. Brit. 
Ind. (iii. p. 549) gives Burma, Malacca, and Malaya generally ; 
as well as N. Australia, whence R. Brown (Prod. Fl. Nov. Holl. 
p. 531) records it, referring to Hermann's specimen as authority 
for the name. 
138. Mimusops Elengi, Sp.349 .. M. Elengi, L. 
139. Jambolifera pedunculata, Sp. | Acronychia laurifolia, Blume [see 
349 also 185]. 
There is no doubt as to the correctness of this identification of 
the specimens (vol. ii. fol. 82) ; though Linneus has mixed up this 
with no. 185 in his numbering of other specimens in vol. ii. 
fol. 38, and has transposed their native names in ‘Fl. Zeylan.’ 
Indeed it appears that he subsequently in his later works ended 
by confirming the transposition ; and possibly it would be prac- 
tically correct to consider that the numbers in the herbarium 
are to be disregarded rather than the text. Thus in Mant. ii. 
Linnszus quotes Plukenet, tab. 174. fig. 2, for this, which clearly 
represents 185. Eugenia Jambolana (see that number). Vahl, 
however, has rightly described and figured (Symbols, iii. p. 52, 
t. 61) Acronychia laurifolia as Jambolifera pedunculata, L.
