Linn, is the same as Oldenlandia Heynei R. Br., the latter name 
must be replaced by 0. herbacea (Linn.) Roxb. 
Ipomoea sepiaria is maintained/'' but the oldest name for the 
species would appear to be Convolvulus marginatus Desr. ex 
Lam., a name still available for transfer to Ipomoea. 
In the case of Echites caryophyllata (to use Carey's permis- 
sion to correct obvious typographical errors), it is evident from 
Hooker's ^^ discussion that this can not be taken as the basis for 
the species now known as AganosTna caryophyllata (Roxb.) 
Don ; and it also seems that the species known ^^ under the name 
of Tabernaemontana crispa Roxb, is not that of the Hortus Bert- 
galensis. Asclepias annularia Roxb. is identified *^° as Holes* 
temma Rheedii Wall. Roxburgh's name is the oldest, and is 
available for transfer. 
Semecarpus Cassuvium is cited by Engler^^ as of Sprengel, 
who also published the name, basing it on Anacardium longi- 
folium Lam., a Philippine species, said by Lamarck also to grow 
in India. Rumphius' plant, the basis of Semecarpus Cassuvium 
Roxb., appears to differ from any known Philippine species ; and, 
curiously enough, the apparent position of the matter is that 
Semecarpus Cassuvium Roxb., but not of Sprengel, is the species 
treated by Engler under that name ; while S. Cassuvium Spr. is 
a homonym, its exact identity to be determined by that of 
Anacardium longifolium Lam. 
Bambusa baccifera Roxb. appears to be the oldest name for 
Melocanna bambusoides Trin., and to require transfer.^^ 
Bambusa spinosa Roxb., as typified by Hort. Amb. 4: pi S, 
is probably not B. arundinacea Willd., and there are various 
points in Rumphius' description, which oppose its identification 
as B. Blumeana Schult. f, 
Laurus mxiUibathrica Roxb., is considered a doubtful species.^^ 
L. porrecta, by the changed date of publication, becomes the 
oldest name for Cinnamomum Parthenoxylon (Jack) Meissn., 
and is available for transfer. 
P Plectrantkus aromaticus Roxb. is the basis for Coleus aro- 
mxiticus Benth., but Coleus amboinicus Lour, is said to be the 
oldest name. Roxburgh's species is based solely on Herb. Amb. 
5: pL 101, which is also the basis of Ocimum scutellarioides 
p hmT\.=Coleus scutellarioides (Linn.) Benth. If Loureiro's spe- 
cies is the same as the C. aromaticus of the Flora of British
