22 HORT. MAL. VOL. V. 



or to the only Memecylon in the Linnean Herbarium; and as Burman's 

 figure and this specimen also differ, it is probable that Linnaeus may have 

 confounded at least two species under that name. By Lamark, Persoon, and 

 Dennstedt it is misquoted for Eugenia parviflora of Lamarck. 



Tab. 20. Sygyzium Zeylanicum of D C. W. fy A. S. Bellutta. DC. 

 Calyptranthus malabaricus. Denn. Myrtus quadran- 

 gularis. Ham. MS. 



All our knowledge of S. Bellutta appears to have been derived from this figure 

 and description of Rheede's. 



21. Rottlera tinctoria. Roxb. 



Mistaken by Dennstedt for the Linnean Exccecaria Agallocha. 

 22. 



Dennstedt says that this is the' Croton coccineum of Willdenow, which Roxburgh 

 has suggested may be his Rottlera tinctoria, i. e. tab. 21, and it is very nearly 

 allied to that species. 



23. Excaecaria canjoerensis. Denn. 



Burman has quoted this figure for a variety of Acalypha spiciflora, and it is ob- 

 viously from Rheede that Dennstedt has derived all his knowledge of this plant, 

 which I have Professor Don's authority for considering to be a Croton. 



24. Rottlera tinctoria Var. monstrosa. Ham. MS. 



Dennstedt has no ground for suspecting that it may be the Croton farinosum of 

 Lamarck, and it is by far more probably a lusus, occasioned by some insect. 



25. Schmidelia Timoriensis. D C. 



Burman and Martyn have followed Linnaeus in misquoting this figure for Rhus 

 Cominea, which is a West Indian plant ; and it is quoted by Wight and Arnott 

 for their Schmidelia Cobbe, i. e. Rhus Cobbe of Linnaeus ; but, in its compound 

 racemes, it answers better to the S. Timoriensis of De Candolle, and to the 

 Ornitrophe repanda of Roxburgh, though De Candolle has queried whether 

 the former is more than a variety of S. Cobbe. Denustedt, without sufficient 

 grounds, has suggested that it may be the Dalechampia triphylla of Lamarck. 



26. Antidesma sylvestris. Lam. 



27. Syzygium caryophyllaeum of Gaert. W.fy A. Eugenia co- 



rymbosa. Lam. 



This is the Linnean Myrtus caryophyllata, and the Eugenia caryophyllata of Rox- 

 burgh is the Caryophyllus aromaticus of Linnaeus; both of which plants are 

 figured in tab. 153 of Plukenet's Phytographia. Eugenia corymbosa of Rox- 

 burgh is a different species. 



28. Ardisia solanacea of Roxb. Niara montanensis. Denn. 



I know not what grounds Dennstedt could find for placing this plant as a se- 

 parate genus, and Mr.Don has confirmed my suspicion that it is the A . solanacea 

 of Roxburgh. 



29. Syzygium Jambolanum of DC. W.fy.A. S. caryophylli- 



folium. D C. Calyptranthes caryophyllifolia. Wittd. 

 C. Cumini. Persoon. Eugenia caryophyllifolia. Lam. 

 E. Jambolana. Roxb. 



Although the contrary is asserted by Roxburgh in the Flora Indica, vol. ii. p. 487, 

 yet I apprehend that no certain character can be found to distinguish them,
