ceo/aria, if it were latin, would mean that the tree 

 or wood served for little spears. 



Paris polyphylla. — Thank you for this fine supply. 



Colebrookea oppositifolia — good. — Ixora cunei- 

 folia,'Roxb., and its variety, — new to me. 



Triwnfetta oblonga, Wall. Very good. I have it 

 from (Buchanan) Hamilton, with a question whe- 

 ther it may not be T. annua of Linnaeus ; but this I 

 have no means of determining, having no specimen. 

 He also refers to T. glandulosa of WiHdenow, as 

 probably like it. This I have not. 



" Callicarpa arborea, Roxb." This seems what I 

 have from Dr. Roxburgh by the name of C. villosa. 

 Are they the same ? 



C.macrophylla, Vahl. — seems right. I have it not. 



" Dairy mpela pomifera, Roxb.?" With this and 

 its history I am quite unacquainted. Whom is it 

 named after ? Is the name Dairying/ or pie ? 



Hohnskioldia sanguinea — very fine and acceptable. 



Lpranthus bicolor, Roxb. I have one very near 

 this, from Tranquebar, by the name of L. lonice- 

 roides, which it may be. 



Anguillaria , Brown, precisely Melanthium 

 indiciun, Herb. Linn. I think, as you say, it ought 

 to be an Ornithoglossum. 



Teucrium macrostachymn, Wall., is my Leuco- 

 scept?'um canum, Exot. Bot. t. 116. 



Commersonia echinata. Yours looks different 

 from Forster's original Otaheite specimen, whose 

 leaves are only 2 or 3 inches long, and 1 or 1| broad. 

 The pubescence of their under side is very fine and 

 dense, scarcely visibly stellated. 



Thank you for your fine specimens of Rhododen-
