"Cynosurus Linn." There 
Cynosurus strictus Linn. 
"H. A. 2. t. 363." There is no such 
plate, and no other means of 
identifying the species. 
"See asiaticum. Curt. Mag. 1073." 
"A eschynomene L." There is no 
A eschynomene lagenaria Linn., 
though there is one of Loureiro. 
Roxburgh*s name, at the utmost, 
is a synonym. 
"Eriocaulon Linn," There is no 
Eriocaulon graminifolium Linn., 
nor we,s the generic name Leuca- 
cephala ever published. 
Same as preceding. 
*'Nicobar bread fruit tree. As. Res. 
3. 161. seems only a variety of 
odoratissima," 
A short supplementary list might be made of species where 
Roxburgh's spelling differs somewhat strikingly from that of 
preceding authors, but where he apparently had no intention of 
forming new names. Perhaps the best cases of this are Jasmi- 
num Zambac, Pettospermum Tobira, Laurus Cnlitlaban, Vitex 
trifoliata, and Piper Malmaris. 
This list is based on the assumption that a published binomial 
can never be used for any species other than that to which it 
was originally applied, whether or not the name be valid in the 
genus to which it was attributed or in any other to which it 
may be transferred. There are about 185 additional names 
in the Hortns Bengalensis which would be considered as published 
therein, were it not that they had already been used. In nearly 
all of these cases, Roxburgh was correctly using names which
