f.) Dippel (1889) is invalidated by Rhododendron rosmarini- 
folium Vidal (1886), the latter being an unrelated Philippine 
species. 
MYRSINACEAE 
EMBELIA Burman f. 
EMBELIA RIBES Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 62, t. 28. “Habitat in Zeylonia.” 
The species is a well-known one and has been correctly inter- 
preted by subsequent authors. It is the type of the genus. 
SALVADORACEAE 
SALVADORA Garcin 
SALVADORA PERSICA Linn. Sp. Pl. (1753) 122. 
Galenia asiatica Burm. f. FJ. Ind. (1768) 88, ¢. 31, f. 1 (err. typ. f. 5). 
“Persia & Arabia.” 
Burman’s species is a synonym of the earlier Linnean one. 
OLEACEAE 
JASMINUM Tournefort 
JASMINUM ANGUSTIFOLIUM (Linn.) Willd. Sp. Pl. 1 (1797) 36. 
Nyctanthes angustifolia Linn. Sp. Pl. (1753) 6. 
Nyctanthes triflora Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 4, t. 2. “Habitat in 
Java.” 
Burman’s species, from his excellent figure, seems to be iden- 
tical with Jasminum angustifolium (Linn.) Willd., a species 
of India and Ceylon. ‘The indicated place of origin, Java, is 
probably erroneous. 
JASMINUM PUBESCENS (Retz.) Willd. Sp. Pl. 1 (1797) 37. 
Nyctanthes pubescens Retz. Obs. 5 (1789) 9. : 
Nyctanthes multiflora Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 5, t. 8, f. 1. “Habitat 
in China & Malabaria.” 
Burman’s species is apparently referable to Jasminum pubes- 
cens Willd. a species of wide distribution in tropical Asia, 
and one frequently cultivated for ornamental purposes. Bur- 
man’s specific name is apparently invalidated by Jasminum. mul- 
tiflorum Roth. 
OLEACEAE OF DOUBTFUL STATUS 
*OLEA INDICA Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 6. “Java.” 
This was based on Javan material, but the description is 
entirely inadequate, consisting only of the statement: “foliis 
lanceolatis subtus tomentosus * * * vix differt ab Euro- 
paea.” The binomial does not appear in Index Kewensis.
