Melothria maderaspatana. 
A. Bunius, Spreng., A. zeylanicum, 
357. Antidesma Alexiteria, Sp. 1027 4 Lam. and A. Ghesambilla, 
Gaertn. 
As shown by the numerous specimens in the herbarium, the 
name A. Alewiteria, L., cannot rightly be restricted to A. zeyla- 
nicum, Lam., as I have applied it in ‘Cat. Plants Ceylon,’ p. 81. 
358. Dioscorea sativa, Sp. 1033 .. Tinospora cordifolia, Miers. 
Linneus must have been well acquainted with D. sativa; and 
his reference to it of these specimens of the very different “ Rasa- 
kinda," Tinospora cordifolia, must be regarded as an inadvertence. 
359. Dioscorea bulbifera, Sp. 1033. No specimen. 
360. Dioscorea alata, Sp. 1033 .... D. alata, L.? 
Only leaves represent this; and I cannot feel sure of their 
identification with D. alata, which is a cultivated Yam in Ceylon. 
361. Dioscorea oppositifolia, Sp. seien]: 
aggre oppositum Sp. D. oppositifolia 2 
362. Not named .............. Cyclea Burmanni, Miers. 
In the ‘ Flora Zeylanica ’ this is referred from its facies to Dios- 
corea; but it was not taken up by Linneus in his subsequent 
works under that or any other genus.

The Urtica alienata of Linn. is rightly regarded by Weddell as 
a variety only of Pouzolzia indica; it is the P. zeylanica, J.J. 
Benn. (Pl. Jav. Rar. p. 67), who quotes Hermann's specimen.
