182 Dr. Francis HaurrToN's Commentary 
Lamarck really meant the Narum Panel or the Funis musarius 
latifolius by their Uvaria zeylanica I cannot say; but in the 
Hortus Kewensis Rheede alone is quoted. Dr. Roxburgh, who 
does not seem to have seen the Narum Panel, described a spe- 
cies of Uvaria, which he had received from Sumatra, and called 
it U. grandiflora. In the Hortus Bengalensis (43.) he quotes no 
synonyma; but I compared his plant with one which I found in 
the N.E. parts of Bengal, and which I have no doubt is the 
Funis musarius latifolius, and it is quite different from the Na- 
rum Panel. This difference did not escape the notice of M. Du- 
nal in his treatise on the Anonaceæ (Enc. Meth. Supp. v. 119.), 
where he quotes, by the proper name, the Funis musarius lati- 
folius for his Unona musaria : but he errs in calling it an Unona, 
-as it is undoubtedly of the same genus with the Narum Panel, the 
prototype of the genus Uvaria. ‘The synonyma, given by Lin- 
nzeus in the Flora Zeylanica, for the Narum Panel, so far as relates 
to the older writers, without addition or alteration, are therefore 
correct; and I shall now add a description, which I took in 
Malabar, where I found the plant flowering in December 1800.
