That the Catticarra tomentosa of Lamarck is the same 
plant with Catticarpa cana of the Mantissa, Rerzivs affirms 
on the authority of a specimen received from the author 
himself. The specific name of tomentosa has been since 
applied to a different species. 
Our plant differs from americana in having the stems and 
underside of the leaves much more tomentose, and especially 
in having the racemes more lax, the berries in the latter being 
crowded together so as to look like one fruit ; from whence it 
has been called the Bermudian mulberry. 
Native of Malabar, Cochinchina, Java, Sumatra, and the 
straits of Sunda. Requires to be kept in the stove. In- 
troduced to the Kew Garden in 1790, by the Right Hon. 
Sir Josepu Banks, Bart. K. 6. ; but does not appear to have
