Tab. 9. Momordica Charantia. Lin. 



10. Momordica Charantia Var. Lin. M. muricata. Willd. 



Wight and Arnott say that there are innumerable intermediate gradations be- 

 tween M. Charantia and M. muricata ; and such varieties may be expected in 

 a species which is said by Roxburgh to be cultivated in all the warmer parts 

 of Asia. Mr. G. Don has separated the M. muricata of Willdenow and of 

 Roxburgh, though both these authors have quoted this figure, and has given 

 the name of M. Roxburghiana to the latter, but they appear to me to be 

 nothing more than different varieties of M. Charantia. 



11. Momordica monadelpha of Roxb. Ham. MS. Variety? 



Misquoted by Dennstedt for M. dioica of Roxburgh ; and it appears to me 

 that Dr. Hamilton has erred in considering it to be the M. monadelpha of Rox- 

 burgh (i. e., Coccinea indica, see tab. 14) ; nor can I find any other species 

 that answers at all correctly to this figure and description of Rheede's.

This plate is marked Bryonia scabrella in Sir W. Jones's copy at the Athenaeum.

Lam. Momordica Covel. Denn. 



15. Trichosanthes cucumerina. Lin. 



16. Trichosanthes cuspidata. Lam. T. caudata. Willd. 



The descriptions of T. cuspidata and T. caudata appear all to have been derived 

 from Rheede ; and Wight and Arnott have suggested that the figure may have 

 been taken from a young plant of T. nervifolia.

19. Bryonia laciniosa. Lin. 



Linnaeus, in the Species Plantarum, has quoted this figure for B. laciniosa, and 

 he probably did not intend to include Rheede's with the other synonyms which 

 are cancelled in the Mantissa. Roxburgh is, however, the only modern au- 

 thority for this reference.

* > Modecca palmata. Lam. M. tuberosa. Roxb. 



Tab. 20 is erroneously quoted for a variety of the Linnean Convolvulus paniculatus 

 by Burman and others, and by Romer and Schultes for a variety of Ipomea 

 paniculata.

Roxburgh says that the leaves of young plants of his M. tuberosa are simply 

 eordate, and afterwards become palmate, with from three to five lobes. Sir
