 (Herb. Amb. ii.88, t. 62), with which also Bentham's Hongkong specimens agw- 

 Pioxbnrgh, on the other hand, identifies a Penang plant, cultivated m the '^^^'^\^ 

 Gardens, with Rumph's Ampacus angiist if alius, and describes its capsules as ^*^^^1^^ 

 of a field-bean. This character of capsule does not agree with any Indian ape 

 known to me. Roxburgh's characters agree in all but this, with a common ^\^ l 

 plant. As Wight refers an identical ^'ilghiri plant to Roxburgh's, I ^^T^Pff f^'l the
