HORT. &AL. VOL. III. 13 



Tab, 57. Ficus cotoneaefolia. Vahl. 



Quoted by Linnaeus, Burman, Lamarck, and Sir James Smith, for F. indica; by 

 Willdeuow and Persoon, and with a mark of doubt by Dr. Hamilton, for 

 F. citrifotia ; and by Persoon and Rcemer and Schultes for the F. cotoneafolia 

 of Yahl. In Sir W. Jones's copy at the Athenaeum this plate is marked 

 ' F. indica citrifolia.' 



58. Ficus excelsa. Vahl. 



59. Ficus septica. Burman. 



CO. Ficus asperrima. Roxb. 



Quoted by Burman and Dennstedt for F. Ampelos; but Sir J. E. Smith, in de- 

 scribing that species, says of this figure, that ' the leaves are too small, 

 and the fruit unlike our specimen,' and he then suggests] that it may be 

 F. potiloria of Loureiro, but Loureiro has described the fruit of his species to 

 be in spikes. 



61. Ficus Perim teregam. Burman. F. hispida. Blume(notLin.) 



All modern authors, except Blume, have quoted this figure with a mark of 

 doubt; some for F.oppositifolia, some for F. symphitifolia, and others for 

 F. hispida. By Blume it is quoted for the latter, and it may possibly be the 

 tree which he met with, but the Linnean F. hispida, from the description in the 

 Supplementum Plantarum, must be quite different. In Burman's Index the 

 Caprificus viridis of Rumphius, which he considered to be the same as this 

 plant of jRheede's, is marked F. Perim teregam, with the addition of HML 

 (Hort. Mai. Lin.?), and it may perhaps be inferred, that he was aware of 

 Linnaeus's intention to describe the species with that name. It, however, 

 appears to be uncertain whether the Perim teregam of Rheede and the Capri- 

 feus viridis of Rumphius are the same species, though the identity is strongly 

 asserted by Burman, and Blume has quoted the latter for his F. Ribes.See 

 Rumphius, vol. iii. p. 153. 



62. Ficus heterophylla of Lin. Sup. Lam. 



It is quoted by Willdenow for F. aquatica, and by Vahl and Sir J. E. Smith for 

 F. rufescens, both of which are probably synonymous with F. heterophylla, 

 and for the latter by Lamarck, Persoon, and Roxburgh. In Gen. Hard- 

 wicke's copy this plate is marked 'F. humilis, Banksii MSS. F. heterophylla. 

 Kcenig.' 



63. Ficus amplissima. Smith. F. Tsjela. Roxb. 



This, according to Burman, Willdenow, Vahl, and the Hort. Kew., is the 

 Linnean F. indica, but Linnaeus has only quoted Rheede's figure jointly with 

 some American Fici for a variety of that species. 



I 



64. Ficus infectoria. Willd. F. venosa. Smith. F. Tsjakcla. 



Burman. 



F. venosa of Willdenow, for which Dennstedt has quoted this figure, is a 

 different species.
