on the Hortus Malabaricus, Part IV. 201 
entirely different from the Vidi Maram, the divisions being still more numer- 
ous and much smaller. Near Rungpur I met with a tree in fruit, which the 
natives called Ausiyari, and which had a fruit with a lentiform nut exactly as 
represented by Giertner, and its foliage very much resembled figure 2. in 
Plukenet, its leaves being round; but I did not see the flower; and it unfor- 
tunately happens that I obtained no description of the fruit of the Latora, 
Lisaura, Bahuyari, Baboyar, or Dhovoli, the plants of Gangetic India, which I 
should have thought most likely to be the Vidi Maram, were it not for the 
latter having six divisions in the flower. In Mysore, again, I met with a tree 
called Jilla or Haduga, which, with a lentiform nut, had flowers divided into 
six. This I take to be the Cordia obliqua of Willdenow (Sp. Pl. i. 1072.), and 
under this name I gave specimens to Sir J. E. Smith; but from the form of 
its nut I think it cannot be the Vidi Maram, and from its being very hairy, it 
cannot, I think, be the Kwsiyari, which is quite smooth. 
I cannot say what plant Dr. Roxburgh called Cordia Myxa; but as he does 
not quote the Hortus Malabaricus (Hort. Beng. 17.), and calls it Buhooari and 
Lasoora, the same names with my Bahuyari and Lisaura, I think it probably 
is one of the plants belonging to Gangetic India that I have above mentioned ; 
- but whether or not it has a lentiform nut, like the Ausiyari, I cannot say. 
In the Hortus Kewensis we have the Vidi Maram as the only authority for 
the * Cordia Myxa corymbis lateralibus, calycibus decemstriatis,” neither of 
which characters belongs to the plant described by Rheede, nor to any other 
Cordia that I have seep in India. In the catalogue of dried specimens pre- 
sented to the library at the India House, I have attempted to reduce the spe- 
cimens of the trees, called to me Latora, Lisaura, Bahuyari, Baboyar, and 
Dhovoli, to three species, Cordia Latora, C. Baboar, and C. Lisaura ; but I 
am very uncertain whether they are sufficiently distinct from each other, as 
some of them I saw only in leaf, some in flower, and some in fruit. Neither 
am I certain but that some one of them may be the Vidi Maram, while another 
may belong to the C. Myxa of Dr. Roxburgh, if that be different from the 
Kusiyari.

In this work Commeline does not attempt to class the Ponna. It seems 
uncertain whether Plukenet was right in referring it to his * Arbor Indica Mali
