milton first named A. latifolia, and then A. capri- 

 cida. The latter, if true, would be preferable. 



Acrostichum flagelliferum. A very fine fern, new 

 to me ; frondes apice radiculites, seu gemmipara, 

 occur in several species. 



Bauhinia corymbosa, Roxb. Beautiful ! new to me . 



Botrychium zeylanicum. — Good and neat speci- 

 mens of this would be one of the greatest treasures 

 you could send European botanists. 



Bauhinia racemosa, with a great downy legume, 

 I had long ago from Roxburgh by the name of 

 scandens. 



Juglans pterococea. Of this I know nothing, nor 

 of Ulmus virgata of Roxburgh. 



I know not whether this fine lnga in flower, 

 " Mimosa Djiring of Roxb. ?" be supposed different 

 from other specimens with young fruit. They seem 

 to me the same. Is Bua firing the Malay name? 



Your pretty Primula, with short radical flower- 

 stalks, was called by Dr. Hamilton P. Cushia. He 

 gathered it near the source of the Bagmutty. I am 

 not partial to such specific names, but they are not 

 the worst of all. 



Uvaria dioica, Roxb. New to me. — Gualtheria 

 fragrantissima, Wall., I have from Dr. Hamilton 

 as an Arbutus. It comes near G. erecta of Vente- 

 nat, Jard. de Cels, t. 5, but has smaller flowers, and 

 more dense, downy (not hairy) clusters. Leaves also 

 more glandular beneath. Gaulther'm is certainly 

 right. 



Heynea trijuga, Roxb. Very acceptable, though 

 I want the flowers.
