In Journ. Linn. Soc. xiii, 330, there is a note by Mr. W. T. Thiselton 

 Dyer (who elaborated this family of Ternstrcemiacece in the Floia of Brit. 

 India) on the plant issued by Wallich as Ternstr (Bmia coriacea, and 

 identified by him (in an appendix to his Catalogue), witli Camellia 

 axillaris, Roxb. Mr. Dyer shows that, undei- the name C. axillaris, Roxb., 

 a totally different plant {=Gurdonia anomala, Spreng) was figured in 

 the But. Register (t. 349), and that Wallich's T. coriacea was neither 

 Roxburgh's plant nor that figured in the Bot. Register, but really 

 A. acuminata, Korth.
