42 HORT. MAL. VOL. IX. 



* 



Tab. 13. Hoya pendula. Wight. Asclepias pendula. Roxb. 



Misquoted by Jacquin and most other authors for Asclepias akxiaca, and in 

 Rees's Cyclopaedia for A . volubilis. 



14. Aganosma Roxburghii. G.Don. Echites caryophyllata. 



Roxb. 



Misquoted by Forster, Willdenow, Persoon, and others, for Echites co&tata, i. e. 

 Alstonia costata of Brown. See note in vol. vii. tab. 55. 



15. Hoya viridiflora. R. Brown. Apocynum tiliaefolium. Lam. 



Asclepias volubilis (of Lin. Sup.) Roxb. 



Misquoted by Dennstedt for the Linnean Cynanchum capense, and by Mr. G. Don 

 the H. viridiflora and A. tiliazfolium are arranged as separate species, with a 

 reference to this figure for both. 



16. Ceropegia Candelabrum. Lin. 



All our knowledge of C. Candelabrum appears to have been wholly derived from 

 this figure, and it may probably be nothing more than an unusually luxuriant 

 plant, or variety of the species which Roxburgh in his Plants of Coromandel 

 has figured with the name of C. tuberosa. 



17. Asclepias tetrapetala Denn. 



Quoted by Roxburgh for his Asclepias microphylla, i. e. Pentatropis microphylla 

 of Wight, but Rheede has figured and described the flowers to be tetrape- 

 talous. 



IB. vEschynomene indica. Lin. Hedysarum Neli-tali. Roxb. 



19. Biophytum sensitivum. D C. Oxalis sensitiva. Lin. 



Roxburgh says that this is a young plant, and that Rumphius, vol. v. tab. 104, 

 f. 2, represents an old one. 



20. Desmanthus natans. Willd. Mimosa natans of Vahl. Roxb. 



M. prostrata Var. Lam. M. humifusa. Konig's MS. 



Misquoted by Linnseus for JEschynomene pumila, and it is quoted by Willdenow 

 both for Desmanthus natans and for D. virgata. It is also misquoted by 

 Linnseus in the Mantissa for Mimosa virgata, by Gaertner for Acacia virgata, 

 and by Gmelin for JEschynomene herbacea. The Mimosa natans of Linnaeus 

 (Sup. Plant.) is different, and is the D. triquetrus of Willdenow. 



21. Cassia Klenii. W. fy A. 



Linnaeus has quoted the foregoing ' Niti-Todda-vaddi, tab. 20,' but 'this figure 

 has been generally referred to in its stead for the dEschynomene pumila, and 

 neither the one nor the other accords at all well with his description. 



22. Tephrosia? Rheedii. DC. 



Mistaken by Dennstedt for the ^Eschynomene sensitiva of Swartz, and I appre- 

 hend that all De Candolle's knowledge of the species has been derived from 

 Rheede. 



23. Polanisia viscosa. D C. Cleome viscosa. Lin. 



Quoted by Wight and Arnott for Polanisia felina, i. e., Cleome felina of the Sup- 

 plementum Plantarum, and by Linnaeus, and I believe every other author, for 

 C. viscosa. Except that Rheede has not mentioned the viscidity, it answers 

 to Martyn's plant, which Linnseus, both in the Flora Zeylanica and the Species
