Plantarum, has quoted, and its flowers are yellow, while those of C.felitta are 

 red, and it moreover wants the singular roughness of the leaves resembling a 

 cat's tongue, from which the name of the latter species is taken.

Whether Linnaeus has not erred in quoting Sloane's plant as synonymous with 

 Rheede's may be doubted, and the West Indian specimens which I have seen 

 differ in having the leaves much longer in proportion to the breadth, and their 

 edges more or less serrated.

Linnaeus, for C. juncea, has quoted the present plant of Rheede's, and also 

 another of Plukenet's, to which the description much better applies. By La- 

 marck and Persoon the name of C. juncea is however retained for Rheede's 

 plant, and Lamarck has given the name of C. Bengalensis to Plukenet's, 

 whereas in Rees's Cyclopedia the former is named C. tridentata, and C. juncea 

 is assigned to the latter.

Linnaeus and most other authors have quoted this figure with a query for Im- 

 patiens oppositifolia ; and, in the opinion of Wight and Arnott, it 'belongs to 

 Scrophularineae, and is, perhaps, a species of Bonnaya.'

Plukenet has noticed its affinity with his Scorpioides maderaspaiana, which is the 

 Hedysarum bnpleurifoltitm of Linnaeus ; and this figure has not been at all 

 noticed by any other author, except that it has been made into a species of 

 Indigofera by Dennstedt.

 36. 



For Indigofera glabra several authors have followed Linnaeus in quoting the 

 'Nir Pulli, vol. ix. t. 67,' by which the present fignre is obviously intended, 

 but Linnaeus has also quoted a plant of Plukenet's, with which his specific cha- 

 racter far better accords. By Lamarck it is quoted for I. Hedysaroides, 

 which Wight and Arnott considered to be a variety of /. trita, and they have 

 queried whether this plant of Rheede's may not be their /. pedicillata, but it 

 does not correctly answer to cither.
