We have not seen the Linnzean specimen of C. maderaspatanus, but from 
the description given, and figure of Plukenet quoted, it is Bryonia scabrella. 
We are rather uncertain about C. pubescens, Wall. ! L. n. 6729, as the unripe 
fruit is clavate and on a longish peduncle: perhaps it belongs to C. trigonus 6.
