Sesamum éndicum and orientale appear to have their fynonymy 
extremely confufed. Of the older figures in wood, thofe 
which we have quoted are all copied from the original one of 
Marrtuio.ius; and appear to us properly to belong to this 
{pecies, though generally referred to orientale, of which we know 
of no reprefentation but that in the Hortus Malabaricus and the 
one in wood in Cameranius’s Hortus copied by Parkinson, 
and diminutively by Joun Bauuin.
