on the Hprtus Malaharicus, Part II. 311 



and on that account called it C. Toroides ; but I think it is the 

 Tagera of Rheede, and scarcely different from the Gallinaria 

 rotundifolia of Rumphius. I therefore consider this C. Toroides 

 as the C. Tagera of M. Lamarck ; and I also consider the Galli- 

 naria rotundifolia or C. Tor a of M. Lamarck as a plant scarcely 

 sufficiently different to be distinguished as a species.

 Nandi Ervatam minor, p. 107. fig- 55. 



In my Commentary on the first part of the Ilortus Malahari- 

 cus, when treating of the Curiitu Pala, I have stated it as my 

 opinion, that the Nandi Ervatam major is the Ncrium coronarium 

 flore pleno, which is a Tabernamontana ; and that the Nandi Er- 

 vatam minor is probably, although not certainly, the Nerium or 

 Tabernamontana coronaria in a single state. I have there given 

 an account of the plants and of their synonyma, to which I must 

 refer the reader* ; nor on consideration do I think it necessary to 

 say more on this subject, as I intended when I wrote that Com- 

 mentary. • 



Capo Molago, p. 109- fig. 56. 



I know only one species of Capsicutn ; and what botanists still 

 continue to call species, I consider as merely such varieties as 

 arise among all plants much cultivated, and not more different 

 from each other than the kinds of gooseberry common in our 

 gardens. It must however be confessed, that by different modes 

 of treatment some plants die annually, while others last for 

 5^ears ; but with us, in India at least, this depends more on the 

 management than on the kind. The plant, I suspect, is an exotic 

 in India ; but on its introduction into Malabar, on account of its 

 qualities in seasoning food, obtained the generic appellation of
