Manghas. I am on the whole persuaded that, as the Cerlmn 



Manghas stands in Willdenow, it contains three species. 



1. Ccrbcra Manghas, foliis obtusis, sessilibus. 



Manghas lactescens foliis Nerii crassis, venosis, Jasmini Sore, 

 fructu Persica? simili, venenato. Burm. Thcs. Zeyl. 151,

As the name Manghas has thus been taken up so variously, 

 and has nothing to recommend it, we might perhaps drop it alto- 

 gether, and adopt another, such as the fruticosa of Roxburgh, 

 provided his plant is the same with that of Burman.

The elder Burman (Thes. Zeyl. 142.), in mentioning the Li- 

 gustrum inclicum seu Alcanna of Herman, without quoting the 

 Mail-anschi, as he ought to have done, proposes as a query, if 

 the Poutaletsie of Rheede (iv. 117.) be not the same. Linn;eus
