on the Hortus Malabaricus, Part IF. 235 



Now the Kari Bepu may be called Camunium malaharlcum, foUolis serratls, 

 caule arhoreo ; and from the following circumstances, mentioned by Rheede, 

 may be considered as clearly different from the Pancer of Bengal : "Arhor 

 prsecelsa atque speciosa plurimiim, caudice prsecrasso. Flores graveolentes. 

 Fi'uctus rotundi (globosi.") I suspect that this may be the Limonia arborea 

 of Dr. Roxburgh {Hort. Beng. 90.), which he found in the South of India, but 

 never could procure for the garden at Calcutta. The chief doubt that may 

 arise in considering the Kari Bepou as a Camunium is, that Rheede says, 

 " Fructus Aria Bepou fructibus similes," which would imply its being a Drupa ; 

 but in the figure there is no confirmation of this, but a great resemblance to 

 the berry of the Camunium. 



While I have thus endeavoured to show that the Bergera of Koenig belongs 

 to a genus long before known, I must state, that the Bergera of Roxburgh 

 contains a plant forming a veiy distinct genus from the Bergera of Koenig, 

 but still allied to the Kari Bepou. I am not, however, sure that it is suf- 

 ficiently distinct as a genus from the Ehebergia indica of Roxburgh {Hort. 

 Beng. 33.). This plant I sent to Dr. Roxburgh from Tripura in 1797 ; and I 

 have since found it in and near several of the hilly regions bordering on the 

 Gangetic plains. I have given specimens to the library at the India House, 

 and I shall now describe it.
