unable to distinguish the O. cordifolium of Roxburgh from 
O. reticulatum. There are, however, two states of it distri- 
buted by Dr. Wallich: the one having the usual appearance 
of the species, our variety «.: the other having the frond ovate, 
scarcely cordate, very acute, of a firmer texture, and browner 
colour. This agrees in almost every respect with Rum- 
phius’ figure (t. 68. f. 2.), the O. Moluccanum of Schlechten- 
dal, and is in all probability the O. eulgatum of Roxburgh's 
MS. Catalogue, which he states to be found in the Moluccas 
as well as in Bengal.
