ARETHUSEA, 437 
Besides these we have the following additional species mentioned by 
Schiede in the Linnea, vol. IV. p. 573. the accounts of which are too im- 
perfect for me to ascertain how they should be characterized. Their 
flowers are all unknown. 
9. VaniLua saliva ; foliis oblongis succulentis, floralibus minimis, fructibus 
esulcatis. 
Baynilla mansa Hispano-Mexicanorum. 
Hab. in Mexico; sponte Papantle, Misantle, Nautle et Colipe inque 
iisdem pagis colitur. 
Probably confounded with V. planifolia. Its Vanilla is considered the 
best of all, and is an object of cultivation. 
10. VauILLA sylvestris; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis succulentis, floralibus mi- 
nimis, fructibus bisulcatis. 
Baynilla cimarrona Hispano- Mexicanorum. 
Hab. in Mezico ; Papantle, Nautle, Colipz. 
Probably confounded with V. planifolia. The fruit is mixed with that 
of V. sativa when gathered. 
ll. VaxiLLA Pompona ; maxima, folis oblongis succulentis subinde 
latissimis et basi subcordatis, floralibus minimis, fructibus bisulcatis. 
Baynilla Pompona Hispano-Mezicanorum. 
Hab. in Mexico; Papantle et Colipe. 
In the form of leaves this almost agrees with V. sativa, the fruit is 
the largest of all, rich in ethereal oil and with an agreeable odour; yet as 
it will not dry, but always remains soft, it cannot be transmitted to Europe 
as an article of commerce. 
12. VawiLLA inodora; foliis ovali- vel ovato-lanceolatis membranaceis, 
floralibus maximis, fructibus bisulcatis inodoris. 
Baynilla de puerco Misantlensium. 
Hab. in Mexico, Misantle. 
A very distinct species ; with insipid fruit. 
There is also a Vanilla de mono, cultivated in Mexico. The Baynillu 
mestiza is nothing but a sample of fruit intermediate between that of 
V. sativa and F. sylvestris. For further particulars concerning this fruit 
see the Linnea and the Rumphia at the places quoted. 
Vanilla angustifolia. Willd. sp. pl. 4. 121, founded upon Angurek-warna 
Kempf. aman. t. 869. f. 1. is a Javanese, not a Japanese plant, and, ac- 
cording to Blume, ( Rumphia 1. 197), must be removed from the genus.
