That neither the size nor the mode of branching noticed by Roxburgh is of 
any consequence is obvious from the numerous specimens before us. Dr 
Wallich's A. pentandra (L. n. 2102) we have not seen: it is, however, from 
Bengal, and is perhaps distinct from ours which is the same with Roxburgh's 
according to his description and drawing; no specimens of it were in Rox- 
burgh’s herbarium, from which we may suspect that he himself could not dis- 
tinguish it from his A. nana, of which there are specimens. De Candolle trans- 
lates * cuneate’ in A. nana by * sagittatis, an evident mistake, as he had not 
seen specimens. Sellowia of Roth (Winterlia of Sprengel) we have little 
doubt was described from small plants of this species, and that Roth has 
been led into an error when he describes the capsule as 1-seeded, mistaking, 
perhaps, the persistent central placenta for a seed: the placenta is, however, 
3-winged (from the remains of the dissepiments), not ovate and shining as 
he states of the seeds. |
