- It might be thought preferable to adopt the name Bonduccella, as it was of 
that form only that Linnseus had seen specimens, Bonduc having been taken 
up from Plukenet's figure ; but the two being identical, not even varieties, 
"we have preferred that which is simpler and not a derivative of the other.

_ This plant is unknown except by Rheede's figure; and as in compound- 
pinnated leaves, he is not to be relied on with regard to the position or num- 
ber of the pinnsze, so we may be allowed to doubt his accuracy in having T€ — 
presented them simply and unequally pinnated. Perhaps there is more t 
one mistake in the figure, for the shape and size of the leaflets are 50 p
