We have already referred (under Uvaria Zeylanica, L.) to the mistake into which 

 Wight and Arnott have fallen with respect to the synonymy of this species. The 

 description of U. lutea, W. et A., being partly taken from the present plant and 

 partly from Roxburgh's plate and description of the true U. lutea, does not apply 

 precisely to either.
