marck from dried specimens. 
The other species I found first in the kingdom of Ava, and 
since in the north-east parts of Bengal. In Ava I took it for 
the C. Tiglium, and under that name sent specimens to the Court

been affixed to the other species by two excellent botanists, I do 
not wish to occasion further confusion, and prefer the other 
name, by which the plant was known to older botanists. The 
principal difference which I observe between this and the plant 
of Rumphius is, that the latter, to judge from the plate, has
