HORT. MAL, VOL. X. 53 



Tab. 43. Sphaeranthus hirtus of Lam. Blume. S. mollis. Roxb. 



It is nearly allied to S. indicus, for which it has been quoted by Linnaeus and 

 several other authors, but that plant is inodorous, whereas this is remarkably 

 fragrant. 



44. Chrysanthemum indicum. Lin. Pyrethrum indicum. DC. 



Matricaria indica. Desr. 



45. Artemisia grata. D C. 



Misquoted by Willdenow and others for Artemisia indica, and for a variety of 

 Ambrosia artemisifolia by Lamarck. 



46. Hydrocotyle asiatica. Lin. 



47. Zapania nodiflora. Poiret. Verbesina nodiflora of Lin. 



Bur man. 



Linnaeus may probably have confounded two species under the name of V, nodi- 

 flora, of which one is the American V. nodiflora of Bauhin, and the other is the 

 V. repens nodiflora of the Thesaurus Zeylanicus, for which Linnaeas, in his 

 Flora Zeylanica, has retained Burman's reference to this figure, although it 

 is omitted in the Species Plantarum. Unless, therefore, this Malabar plant 

 should prove to be a variety, the name belongs to the American species, and 

 it is much unlike the Z. nodiflora from Chile, which is figured in Sweet's 

 Flower Garden, vol. vi. t. 225, and the figure of the Hortus Elthamensis 

 which Gaerner has exclusively quoted for bis Synedrella nodiflora. 



48. Tiaridium velutinnm? Lehman. Heliotropium indicum. 



Roxb. 



By Linnaeus this species may probably have been confounded with the West 

 Indian plant, under the name of H. indicum (i. e. Tiaridium indicum), and it 

 is the H. indicum of Burman and Roxburgh, but differs materially from the 

 Heliotrope which is common in our greenhouses. 



49. Grangea maderaspatana. Wight. Cotula maderaspatana. 



Desf. Artemisia maderaspatana of Lin. Burman. 



Grangea mucronata of Hamilton's MS. is probably the same species. 



50. Torenia minuta. Blume. 



Dennstedt has queried whether it may not be Gratiola repens of Swartz, but 

 Rheede has described it with four stamens. 



51 . Euphorbia Androsaemoides. Denn. 



In the copy of the Hortus Malabaricus, at the Linnean Society, this plate is 

 marked E. dichotoma, but that species has serrulated leaves. 



52. Canscora perfoliata. Lam. Pladera perfoliata. Roxb. 



Pootia triflora. Denn. 



53. Sida acuta. Burman. 



54. Sida cordifolia of Lin, Burman. 



55. Corchorus decemangularis of Roxb. ? 



To this figure I have not found any reference, and as remarked by Commeline 

 ' florum delineatio cum descriptione multum discrepat.' Dr. Hamilton sus- 

 pected that it might be Corchorus olitorius of Willdenow, and it more resembles 

 a specimen of Roxburgh's C, decemangularis,
