on the Hortus Malabaricus, Part IV. 171 
M. Jussieu (Gen. Plant. 297.) and M. Poiret (Enc. Méth. Suppl. iv. 93.) 
thought that the /Vialel perhaps belongs to the genus Vitis; but the habit 
is so different that, with all submission to such authorities, I cannot bring 
myself to this opinion, and rather think that it has a greater affinity to some 
of the Aurantiæœ, such as the Cookia and Murraya; and especially to the 
Lansium, as I have mentioned in a Commentary on Rumphius (Herb. Amb. 
i.151. £. 54.). It is remarkable that in the island of Ternate the Lansium 
is called Lassa, one of the names by which the Brahmans of Malabar know : 
the Nayalel. 
ANGOLAM, Seu ALANGI, p. 39. fab. 17. F 
Commeline does not venture any conjecture concerning this tree, and 
Plukenet (Alm. 31.), in quoting Ray’s name, “ Arbor Indica baccifera fructu 
umbilicato rotundo Cerasi magnitudine dicocco," makes no advance beyond what 
is stated by Rheede. 
M. Lamarck was the first to introduce the dngolam into the modern system 
of botany, calling it Alangium decapetalum (Enc. Méth. i. 174.). He con- 
sidered it as belonging to the order of Myrti, and nearly allied to the Decu- 
maria ; but Jussieu doubts of the propriety of this arrangement, and rather 
thinks that it should be placed in his 4th division of the Onagr«, in which I 
- entirely coincide. 
Willdenow (Sp. Pl. ii. 1174.) and M. Poiret (Enc. Méth. Suppl. i. 366.) allege, 
copying, perhaps, from Vahl, that the younger Linnzus had previously de- 
scribed the dngolam under the name of Grewia salvifolia; but Linnzus did 
not quote the Hortus Malabaricus, nor does his description agree with that of 
the Angolam either by Rheede or Vahl. What authority there may be for the 
allegation I do not know; I suspect that it may be some specimen of the An- 
golam, marked by mistake Grewia salvifolia, an accident very likely to happen, 
and therefore by no means a good test. 
Ivou Mou 1, seu Inv Muru, p. 48. tab. 18. 
Moulli, or Mulli, signifying Thorn, is rather the name of a class than of a 
genus, and the word Jdou, or Idu, must therefore be either considered as 
generic, or the two words considered as forming a compound, like our English 
words Buck-thorn, Haw-thorn, Black-thorn, all signifying different genera.
