HORT. MAL. VOL. IX. 47 



Tab. 75. 



Rheede says ' Floras nulli sunt,' and equally with tab. 74 it may probably belong 

 to the Ocymoideae. 



76. Spermacoce scabra. Willd. 



Willdenow doubted whether Rheede may not have figured S. scabra, and by 

 mistake have described a plant of S. hispida; and Wight and Arnott have ad- 

 duced sufficient evidence to prove that the former is only a variety of the latter. 

 Linnaeus has suggested that it may be S. hispida, and it is generally quoted 

 for S. scabra by other authors ; but Dr. Hamilton, without sufficient grounds, 

 has queried whether the figure is not more like Hydropliylax maritima. 



77. Entada pursaetha, planta junior. W.fyA. En tad a mono- 



stachya. D C. Mimosa Entada. Lin. M. scandens. 

 Roxb. 



By Lamarck it is quoted for a variety of the Linnean E.polystachia, which is a 

 native of America , and it is nothing more than a young plant of the species 

 figured in vol. viii. tab. 32, 33, and 34, although it has been arranged se- 

 parately with the name of E. monostachya by De Candolle. 



78. Bergia verticillata. Willd. B. capensis of Lin. Mant. Poiret. 



B. aquatica. Roxb. Elatine verticillata. W.fyA. Sper- 

 gulaindica. Konig'sMS. Tarania verticillata. Ham.MS. 



Roxburgh, in the Plants of Coromandel, has referred to this figure for Bergia 

 aquatica, and in the Flora Indica both for B. verticillata, and erroneously for 

 Caprariagratissima; for the latter species, under the name of Limnophila Rox- 

 buryhii, it is also quoted by Mr. G. Don. Linnaeus appears to have mistaken 

 the habitat, and to have misnamed this species B. capensis. 



79. Tamara haemisphaerica. Ham. MS. 



Quoted with a query by Dennstedt for the Linnean Achyranthes prostrata, and 

 Commeline more correctly says of it ' Planta sui generis est, sine conspecie.' 



80. Rhynchoglossum obliquum. Blume. Loxotis obliqua of 



Bentham. ? 



Mr. Don shewed me a specimen at the Linnean Society which much resembled 

 this figure, and which perhaps erroneously was marked ' Wulfenia notoniana 

 ofWallich. 



81. Rotala verticillaris. Lin. 



Originating probably from a note in the Hortus Cliffortianus, this figure has 

 been inadvertently quoted in the Encyclopedie Methodique for Anthospermum 

 JEthiopicum. 



82. Zornia diphylla. Persoon. Z. angustifolia. Smith. Hedy- 



sarum diphyllum. Lin. 



83. Zornia zeylonensis of Persoon. W. fy A. Z. conjugata. 



Smith. 



84. Ammannia prostrata. Ham. MS. 



Dr. Hamilton has suggested that it may possibly be a variety of the A. vrti- 

 c.illata of Lamarck, or the A. baccifera of Linnaeus, but it does not well accord 

 with Lamarck's figure, nor at all with the reference to Plukenet iu the Specie^ 

 Plantarum.
