on the Hurt us Malabaricus, Part I. 555 



Rumphius (Hort. Beng. 30.) ; yet still I have doubts on this 

 head, the name of Dr. Roxburgh's plant in its native country 

 not being Culit Ian an. 



After this long discussion, I shall give what I consider the 

 proper synonyma of the Carua. 



Cassia cinnamomea, sylvestris pigrior Malavarica. Pluk. Aim.

Cortex caryophjlloides. Herb. Amb. ii. 65. t. 14? 



Laurus foliis lanceolatis trinerviis, nervis supra basin unit is. 

 Linn. FI. Zeyl. 146. exclusis synonymis Burmtmni, Flu- 

 ke netii et Hermanni. 



Laurus Cassia foliis triplinerviis lanceolatis. Linn. Sp. PL 

 Burm. FI. Ind. 91. Willd. Sp. PL ii. 477- Hort. Kew. ii.

Laurus Cassia foliis lanceolatis utrinque acutis triplinerviis, pa- 

 niculis laxis sublateralibus. Encycl. Meth. ii i - 444. exclu- 

 sis synonymis Pluk. p. 89- et Burmanni. 



Laurus Cinnamomum angustifolium. Hort. Beng. SO. 



I shall now proceed to describe the tree which Dr. Roxburgh 

 called the Laurus Cassia, and which I think the third species of 

 Plukenet, as I have mentioned in the former part of this account. 

 I call this Tamala, from the native name given in Plukenet, 

 while the Laurus Cassia or Carua was in Malabar called to me 

 Lavanga, from its having a smell of Cloves ; and this excites a 

 suspicion, notwithstanding what I have said, that the Carua is 

 in fact the Cortex caryophylloicles of Rumphius. 



Laurus Tamala, foliis triplinerviis lanceolatis utrinque acutis, 



paniculis tcrminalibus, ramulis teretibus. 

 Laurus Cassia. Hort. Beng. 30.
