25. Ficus glomerata of Roxb. Hamilton. F. racemosaVar. Lam. 



This figure has been quoted by Linnaeus, Burma*!, Willdenow, and Sir J. E. Smith, 

 and in the Hort. Britannicus and Hort. Kewensis, for F.racemosa; but Dr. 

 Hamilton has shewn that two species have been confounded under this name, 

 and that it is Roxburgh's F. glomerata. 



26. Ficus Benjamina. Lin. Mant. 



Quoted by Vahl both for F. Benjamina and F.pyrifolia, and for the latter by 

 Sir J. E. Smith. 



27. Ficus religiosa. Lin. 



28. Ficus bengalensis. Lin. F. indica. Roxb. not Lin. 



Roxburgh of this plant says, ' I know of no other species of Ficus which sends 

 forth fibres from the branches that descend to the ground and become trunks,' 

 and this may perhaps have led him to arrange it as F. indica, for it is the only 

 species which Linnseus has described ' ramis radicantibus.' There are, how- 

 ever, other species which are at least sufficiently radicant to answer the Linnean 

 character, as jP. tomentosa and F. infectoria; nor can this tendency mark any 

 specific difference, for Dr. Hamilton, even of Roxburgh's F. indica says ' that 

 it does not throw out roots from its branches when planted in confined situations 

 and excluded from a free circulation of air.' See Lin. Trans, xv. p. 133. 



29. Thespesia populnea. Correct. Malvaviscus populneus. 



Gcert. Hibiscus populneus. Lin. 



30 Paritium tortuosura. Hibiscus tortuosus. Roxb. 



This figure is referred to for No. 259 of the Flora Zeylanica, and also by Dr. 

 P. Brown for a native of Jamaica, and these two species have been blended 

 together with the name of Hibiscus tiliaceus in the Species Plantarum. By most 

 subsequent authors, except Roxburgh, the Malabar plant has been quoted for 

 H. tiliaceus or Paritium tiliaceum, but the name (derived probably from 

 Plumiers) should be confined to the American species, and the H. tiliaceus of 

 Roxburgh, if distinct from H. tortuosus, is a third species from the Molucca's. 



31. Gossypium arboreura. Lin. 



No author has questioned the propriety of Linnaeus' reference to this figure ex- 

 cept Roxburgh, who suspects that it may be G. religiosum of Gaertner, and Sir 

 J. E. Smith, in Rees's Cyclopaedia, observes, that the Linnean G. religiosum 

 is a very doubtful species. It is quoted by Dr. Hamilton for the variety of 

 G. arboreum, which he has called Gf. nigrum, and the Doctor has recorded his 

 persuasion, ' that what in general are called species of Gossypium are mere 

 varieties, differing vastly less than the varieties of Cabbage (Brassica Oleracea) 

 reared in our Gardens.' Lin. Trans, xiii, p. 491.

33. Bauhinea purpurea. Lin.
