on the Hortus Malabaricus, Part IF. 187 



by Willdenow {Sp. PI. 1224.), although not that given by Gaertner, which is 

 taken from the Cupi of Rheede, as I have observed in my Commentary on the 

 Hortux Malabaricus, Part II. 37. t. 23. As Willdenow saw specimens of his 

 fVebera corymhosa, if he had an opportunity of examining the fruit, we may 

 suppose that it possessed the generic character which he attributes to it. As 

 in this case the Cupi of Rheede must have been quoted by mistake, we may 

 perhaps be allowed to conjecture that the Catu Tekka is Willdenow's IVebera 

 corymbosa.

This is another very dissimilar plant which the natives of Malabar include 

 in the same genus with the Theka robusta. By some strange mistake Plukenet 

 refers it {Mant. 26.) to his "Arbuscula Barbadensis amplexicauUs triphi/llos" 

 (Jim. 48.; Phyt. t. 145./. 4.). I have not yet found the Tsjerou Theka quoted 

 in any subsequent author ; but it is evidently a Clerodendrum, as that genus is 

 defined by Jussieu {Ann. du Mas. vii.) and R. Brown {Nov. Holl. i. 310.). I 

 found, however, in Mysore a plant which I have little doubt is the same, and 

 which both Dr. Roxburgh and I consider as the Folkameria serrata {Willd. 

 Sp. PI. iii. 384.). In Nepal and in the northern parts of Bengal I have since 

 found a variety of the same plant which, although it differs a good deal in 

 appearance at first sight, is in every respect of its structure so similar, that I 

 cannot consider it a different species. I shall here describe at length the 

 plant of Mysore, and then notice the few points in which the plant of Nepal 

 differs. Specimens of the former, together with a drawing, I gave to Sir J. E. 

 Smith ; and I have since presented specimens from Bengal to the library at the 

 India House.
