on the Hortus Malabaricus, Part III. 131 
describes the fruit of his plant as plano-rotundi, which in Lin- 
næan language is depresso-globosi ; and both Willdenow and the 
authors of the Enc; yclopédie agree in considering the plants dif- 
ferent. 
M. Lamarck (Enc. Meth. ii. 495.) suspected, although with 
some doubt, that the Itti Are Alou might be his Ficus punctata ; 
but Thunberg, properly rejecting this, calls it his Ficus nitida, 
in which he is followed by M. Poiret (Enc. Meth. Sup. ii. 653.) 
and Willdenow (Sp. Pl. iv. 1145.). I think that I have seen the 
tree on rocky hills both in the South of India and in the pro- 
vince of Behar. Specimens of the former, with a drawing, I 
gave to Sir J. E. Smith under the name of Ficus Condaravia, 
from Konda (montana) and Ravi, a generic name in the Telinga 
language; and I have given to the library at the India House 
specimens from Behar, where it is called Khota Pipar. I shall 
here annex a description taken in the latter country.

In India gangetica radicantem non vidi; sed in Tdi australi, 
: ubi lætius crescebat, ramos habebat radicantes.
