on the Hortus Malabaricus, Part IV. 187 
by Willdenow (Sp. Pl. 1224.), although not that given by Gertner, which is 
taken from the Cup? of Rheede, as I have observed in my Commentary on the 
Hortus Malabaricus, Part II. 37. t. 23. As Willdenow saw specimens of his 
Webera corymbosa, if he had an opportunity of examining the fruit, we may 
suppose that it possessed the generic character which he attributes to it. As 
in this case the Cupi of Rheede must have been quoted by mistake, we may 
perhaps be allowed to conjecture that the Catu Tekka is Willdenow's Webera 
corymbosa.

This is another very dissimilar plant which the natives of Malabar include 
in the same genus with the Theka robusta. By some strange mistake Plukenet 
refers it (Mant. 26.) to his * 4rbuscula Barbadensis amplexicaulis triphyllos” 
(Alm. 48.; Phyt. t. 145. f. 4). I have not yet found the Tsjerou Theka quoted 
in any subsequent author; but it is evidently a Clerodendrum, as that genus is 
defined by Jussieu (Ann. du Mus. vii.) and R. Brown (Nov. Holl. i. 310.). I 
found, however, in Mysore a plant which I have little doubt is the same, and 
which both Dr. Roxburgh and I consider as the Volkameria serrata (Willd. 
Sp. Pl. iii. 384.). In Nepal and in the northern parts of Bengal I have since 
found a variety of the same plant which, although it differs a good deal in 
appearance at first sight, is in every respect of its structure so similar, that I 
cannot consider it a different species. I shall here describe at length the 
plant of. Mysore, and then notice the few points in which the plant of Nepal 
differs. Specimens of the former, together with a drawing, I gave to Sir J. E. 
Smith ; and I have since presented specimens from Bengal to the library at the 
India House.
