more clearly represented in some leaves of Rheede's figure, than 
they are in any one of the figure given by M. Lamarck. This 
botanist also objects, that Rheede describes the leaves of the calyx 
as entire on the edges, and in the figure they are certainly so re- 
presented ; but I have already pointed out how faulty this is; and 
in the description we have as follows : ** Calya—constat quatuor 
foliis, duobus grandiusculis-—-exterius ex origine costulis, qua in 
oris apicibus raris minutis—eminent—striatis.” 
That this is totally different from the B. cristata of both M. La- 
marck and Linnæus will appear from the following accounts. 
The former I found in the south of India, and gave speci- 
mens, a drawing and description to Sir J. E. Smith under the
