19,8 Merrill: Burman’s Flora Indica 369 
This is the well-known cajuput tree, widely distributed in 
Malaysia, in cultivation. 
MELASTOMATACEAE 
MEMECYLON Linnaeus 
MEMECYLON UMBELLATUM Burm, f. FI. Ind. (1768) 87. “Habitat in 
Zeylona.” 
This is the form amply described by Trimen, Fl. Ceyl. 2 
(1894) 217, who states that Memecylon umbellatum: Burm. f. 
was published without description. It is, however, a valid pub- 
lication, as it is typified by the excellent figure cited, Burm. 
Thesaurus Zeylanicus (1737) t. 31. 
OENOTHERACEAE 
JUSSIEUA Linnaeus 
JUSSIEUA SUFFRUTICOSA Linn. Sp. Pl. (1753) 388. 
Jussiaea tenella Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 103, t. 84 (err. typ. $5), 
f. 2. “Habitat in Java.” 
This can scarcely be other than a form of the Linnean species, 
in spite of Burman’s description of the leaves as opposite; in 
the drawing, which is good, some are drawn as alternate, others 
as opposite. 
ARALIACEAE 
NOTHOPANAX Miquel 
NOTHOPANAX SCUTELLARIUM (Burm. f.) Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. |

Aralia cochleata Lam. Encycl. 1 (1788) 224. 
Panaz cochleata DC. Prodr. 4 (1830) 253. 
A species in common cultivation; its native habitat is uncer- 
tain. 
ERICACEAE 
RHODODENDRON Linnaeus 
RHODODENDRON LEDIFOLIUM G,. Don Gen. Syst. 3 (1834) 846. 
Rhododendron burmanni G. Don l. ec. 
Rhododendron rosmarinifolium Dippel Handb. Laubholzk. 1 (1889)

Azalea rosmarinifolia Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 48, t. 3, 7.3. “Habitat 
in Japonia, colitur in Java.” 
Burman’s species represents the well-known Rhododendron 
ledifolium G. Don, its identity having been kindly verified for 
me by Dr. B. Hayata. Rhododendron rosmarinifolium (Burm.
