 marck from dried specimens. 



The other species I found first in the kingdom of Ava, and 

 since in the north-east parts of Bengal. In Ava I took it for 

 the C. Tiglium, and under that name sent specimens to the Court

 been affixed to the other species by two excellent botanists, I do 

 not wish to occasion further confusion, and prefer the other 

 name, by which the plant was known to older botanists. The 

 principal difference which I observe between this and the plant 

 of Rumphius is, that the latter, to judge from the plate, has
