HORT. MAL. VOL. II. 



Tab. 26. Gilibertia Nalagu. DC. Gastonia Nalagu. Lam. 



This figure is quoted by Willdenow for Aralia Chinensis ; for Leea crispa, by 

 Roxburgh ; for Gastonia Nalagu, by Lamarck ; for Leea sambucina and 

 Gilibertia Nalagu, by DeCandblle; for Aralia Chinensis, Leea sambucina, and 

 again as a Gastonia, in Rees's Cyclopaedia; for Leea Staphylea of Roxburgh, 

 by Wight and Arnott ; and Dr. Hamilton suspected that it might be Leea 

 eequata of Linnseus's Mantissa ! 



27. Phyllanthus scandens of Roxb. Herb. 



In Gen. Hardwick's Copy of the Hortus Malabaricus, this plate is marked 

 ' Phyllanthus scandens of Roxburgh,' and it answers by far better to a speci- 

 men which is so* named in Roxburgh's Herbarium, than to the P. rhamnoides 

 either of Retzius or Willdenow, for the latter of which it is arranged by 

 Dennstedt. Rheede has figured two plants, vol. ii. t. 27, and x. t. 27, with 

 the name of Niruri, and it is rather singular that the P.Niruri of Lin. 

 should not be either of these, but x. t. 15, which is the Kirganeli, and again 

 that the P. Kirganelia of Willdenow should be a plant unknown to Rheede. 

 See my note on x. 27. 



28. Daltura alba. N. JEsen. in Lin. Trans, xvii. p. 73. 



Other authors have followed Linnaeus in quoting this figure for D. Metel, with 

 which it has been generally confounded, and Von Esenbeck has shewn good 

 cause for considering it to be distinct from the D, metel which grows on the 

 coasts of Africa. 



29. Datura dubia. Persoon. 



In the Copy of the Hortus Malabaricus at the Linnean Society, this plate is 

 marked D. glabra, but though the capsule is quite unarmed in the figure, it 

 may be queried from Rheede's Description whether this of itself can be relied 

 on for a specific character, and Poiret appears to have met with a variety 

 * capsulis muticis' of D. fastuosa. Burman in his Index has erroneously re- 

 ferred to tab. 28, 29, and 30, for D. Metel, and by DeCandolle and some other 

 authors, tab. 29 is accidentally quoted instead of tab. 19 for Huyonia Mystax. 



30. Datura dubia of Persoon. Var. flore triplici. 



Dr. Hamilton suspected that this may be the Linnaeus D.fastuosa, but it has 

 not been otherwise referred to for that species, and the unarmed capsule and 

 simple leaves denote its affinity with D. dubia. 



31. Calotropis gigantea. Hort. Kew. Asclepias gigantea. Lin. 



Asclepias gigantea. Var. Lam. 



The Bel Ericu, which Rheede has described separately, is a variety with white 

 flowers. 



32. Ricinus communis of Lin. Burman. 



The Pandi Avanacu, of which Rheede has annexed a description, is the R. viridis 

 of Willdenow. 



33. CrotonTiglium. Lin. 



34. Tragia Chamselea. Lin. Cnemidostachys Chamaelea. Hort . 



Brit. Euphorbia bifurca. Ham. MS. ? 



35. Solanum ferox of Lin. Burman. S. lasiocarpum. Dunal. 



S. hirsutum. Roxb. 



This figure has been quoted by Burman and Esenbeck for the Linnean S. ferox, 

 and the plate is so marked in Sir W. Jones's Copy at the Athenaeum,
