Plants. By William Jdtk, M.D. Communicated by Henry

Turre are a variety of highly esteemed fruits, which may be 
considered as peculiar to the Malayan Archipelago, or what has 
been not unaptly denominated India aquosa, and are not to be 
found beyond its limits. Many of these are already well known; 
but there are others which have not yet fallen under the obser- 
vation of botanists, or are only to be found described in the 
Hortus Amboinensis of Rumphius, which, though a work of won- 
derful accuracy and research, stands in need of illustration with 
reference to the progress that has been made in botanical science 
since the period at which it was written. Among these the 
Lanseh, the Tampooi, and the Choopa hold no undistinguished 
place, and the following account of these plants will therefore 
not be uninteresting. The first is already partially known from 
Rumphius, and Mr. Marsden's History of Sumatra, but its true 
place and family have hitherto remained doubtful. To these I 
have subjoined descriptions of a few other genera from the same 
interesting quarter, which appear to be new and to deserve 
notice.
