Besides the above, C. elliptica, Roxb.!, a native of China, is enumerated in 
. Wallich’s List (n. 5433) as a species of Cyrtolobus : it has, however, neither 
the pod nor opposite seeds characteristic of that subgenus as we have defined 
it, but is more allied to C. Orixensis. We may here remark, that previous to 
the arrival of the third volume of Roxburgh's Flora Indica in Britain, Hooker 
and Arnott had described the same plant in the Bot. of Beechey's Voyage, 
Pp. 180, as C. Vachellii, a name which must give way to that given by Rox- 
burgh: perhaps, however, it is not distinct from C. uncinella, Lam. ill. t. 617. 
f. 2, from the Mauritius, but probably introduced there from China ; and if so, 
Lamarck's name is certainly the oldest.
