8 HORT. MAL, VOL. II. 



Tab. 36. Solanumindicum of Lin. Burman. S. violaceum. Jacquin. 



Linnaeus, under the name of S. indicum, has confounded two species, of which 

 one is an East and the other a West Indian plant. The former, which is the 

 S. indicum of Roxburgh and Esenbeck, is Jacquin's S. violaceum, and Dunal 

 has retained the Linneau name for the latter. Dennstedt erroneously consi- 

 dered this plant of Rheede's to be the Linnean S. sanctum. 



37. Solanum Melongena Var. N. Esen. 



Quoted by Lamarck for his S. undatum, which most probably is another variety 

 of S. Melongena. 



38. Hibiscus Abelmoschus. Lin. Abelmoschus moschatus. 



W.fyA. 



39. Tragia involucrata. Lin. 



Though quoted by Linnaeus, Willdenow, Roxburgh, and others for T. involucrata, 

 Dr. Hamilton thought it more likely to be the T. hispida of Willd., and the 

 latter is considered by Roxburgh to be probably nothing more than a variety 

 of the former. The leaves are more ovate than cordate, and under the head 

 of Urtica pilulifera in Recs's Cyclopaedia, Sir J. E. Smith expressly says 

 that this iigure is T. involucrala. 



40. Boehmeria interrupta. Willd. Urtica interrupta. Lin. 



41. Urtica heterophylla. Vahl. 



42. Euphorbia Antiquorum. Lin. 



43. Euphorbia Nivulia. Hamilton. E. nereifolia. Roxb. 



For E. nereifolia Linnaeus has quoted Rumphius, iv. t. 40, together with the pre- 

 sent figure of Rhccdc's and the former is the E. ligularia, and the latter 

 the E. nereifolia of Roxburgh. Both these species have been described by 

 different authors for E. nereifolia, and, to prevent confusion, Dr. Hamilton 

 has changed the uame. 



44. Euphorbia Tirucalli. Lin. 



45. Barleria longifolia of Lin. Lam. Ruellia longifolia. Roxb. 



In Esenbeck's New Arrangement of the Acanthaceae, B. longifolia is removed 

 to a separate genus, with the name of Asteracantha. 



46. Hygrophila obovata. Hamilton. Ruellia obovata. Roxb. 



The younger Linnaeus has described his Ruellia difformis ' foliis linearibus,' and 

 queried, without any sufficient grounds, whether this plant of Rheede's may 

 not be a variety. 



47. Barleria bispinosa of Vahl. N.Esen. B. cristataVar. Lam. 



B. buxifolia. Roxb. (not Lin.) B. obovata. Hamilton. 



Quoted by Linnaeus and most other authors for E. buxifolia; but under that 

 name Linnaeus has obviously confounded this plant with an American Bar- 

 leria, and the name in Dr. Hamilton's opinion more probably belongs to the 

 latter. 



48. Dilivaria Ilicifolia of Juss, Per soon. Acanthus Ilicifolius. 



Lin.
