At p. 160 of the ' Prodromus/ N'ecs refers Biiellia Pavala^ 

 -Roxb., to Lejndayathis Pavala; but this specific name has not 

 been given to any species oi Lepldarjatlm. 



liosburgh's coloured figure of ^. Pavala exists in the Library 

 of theEoyal Botanic Gardens ; and this drawing shows that Nees 

 "Was in error in referring Eoxburgh's plant to Lepidagathis, 

 Under i?. con/inis, at p. 148, Nees says, "An hnjus loci BiieUid 

 Pavala, Eoxb. Fl. Ind. Or. iii. p. 47 V'

I hare no doubt that Nees von Esenbeck's var. a is also refer- 

 able to this species; but as I have not seen a specimen, I do not 

 venture to quote it. The identification of Nees's species is ob- 

 scured by the concluding remark, "an hujus loci Puellia Pavala^ 

 iioxb. n. Ind, iii, p. 47?" As I have just shown, he in another 

 place refers R. Pavala to Lepidagathis.
