18 HORT. MAL. VOL. IV. 



Tab. 43. Osbeckia cupularis ? W. fy A. Melastoma cyanoides. Smith 

 in Rees's Cyc. 



This figure is quoted in the Species Plantarum, and by Gaertner, Willdenow, 

 and Blume, for M. aspera; but Burman, in the Flora Indica, has quoted t. 42 

 both for that species and for M. malabarica, and has referred to the present 

 figure for the Linnean M. Tiirta. The elder Burman, in his Index, says that 

 t. 43 is M. Scabra, and, by an inaccuracy in the references, has left in un- 

 certainty whether by his name he intended the M. scabrosa or M. aspera of 

 Linnaeus. To add to the confusion De Candolle has referred to this figure 

 both for M. aspera and for M. cyanoides ; and, on the other hand, in the En- 

 cyclopaedia Methodique, t. 42 and 43 are jointly quoted for M. malabarica. 



44. Osbeckia virgata ? W.fyA. Melastoma montana. Denn. 



In the late General Hardwick's copy this plate is marked Melasloma nemorum of 

 Kcenig, and Rheede says that it altogether resembles t. 42, ' nisi quod foliis, 

 floribus, fructibusque sit minoribus/ 



45. Avicennia Oepata. Hamilton in Lin. Trans. A. tomentosa. 



Roxb. (notWilld.) 



Under the synonymous names of Bontia germinans, Avicennia germinans, or 

 A. tomenlosa, Linnaeus and several other authors have described a native of the 

 West Indies, with a reference to this figure, and the Malabar plant, though 

 nearly allied, is most probably a separate species. 



46. Achras retusa. Denn. 



No author besides Dennstedt has noticed this figure, which cannot belong to 

 Achras, and Professor Don thinks that it is more allied to the Calophylliese. 



' > Guettarda speciosa of Lin. Smith. 



47. 

 48. 



Quoted for Nyctanthes hirsuta by Linnaeus, and for Jasmimum hirsutum by Will- 

 denow, and Poiret thought that it may be Guettarde scabra (i. e. Mathiola 

 scabra. Lin.), which has only been found in America. 



49. Casearia ovata. Willd. C. Anavinga. Persoon. Anavinga 



ovata. Lam. 



50. ChristmanniaCourondi. Denn. 



\ 



I have not met with any other reference to this figure, and Professor Don sus- 

 pects that it may have been intended for the Johnia Coromandeliana of Rox- 

 burgh j but among other differences the flowers are described ' numerosis 

 staminulis' by Rheede. 



51. Sapium indicum. Roxb. 



I know not the meaning, but in General Hardwick's copy this plate is marked 

 ' Aniidesrna nucifera. L/ 



5*2. Azadirachta Indica. W. Sf A. Melia Azadirachta. Lin. 



53. Bergera Koenigii of Lin. Mant. W. fy A. Nimbo melioides. 

 Denn. 



Dr. Hamilton has shewn good grounds for believing that this figure, though it 

 has not been referred to, may be the JB. Koenigii, and it at least answers far 

 better to the Linnean description than Rumphius's, i. t. 53, f. 1, which has 

 been quoted by Willdenow, or than the plant which, in the Botanical Cabinet,
