64 HORT. MAL. VOL. X. 



Tab. 56. Pentapetes phcenicea of Lin. Roxb. 



Dcnnstedt suspects that it may be Sida angustifolia of Cavanilles. 



57. Chiococca malabarica. Denn. 



Referred to erroneously by Lamarck for his Ixora parviflora, and by Roemer and 

 Schultes for /. micrantha, which is the same species, and they are both quoted 

 by De Candolle for Myon ima multiflora ; but the /. parviflora of Vahl, which 

 Hooker has figured in the Botanical Miscellany, is quite different. Denn- 

 stedt's ' C. malabarica mihi,' I imagine, has been wholly founded on Rheede's 

 description and figure ; but, as the flowers are tetrapetalous, it cannot be a 

 Chiococca, and I have been unable to find any plant that answers to it. 



58. Euphorbia pallens. E. articulata. Denn. 



This plant was considered both by Lamarck and Dr. Hamilton to be a dicho- 

 tomous species of Euphorbia not elsewhere described ; and as Lamarck's 

 E. articulata is a different species, Dennstedt's name must be changed. Ben 

 pala is Rheede's name, and it may be translated ' Euphorbia pallens. 



59. Desmochaeta atropurpurea. D C. (Cat. Hort.) Achyranthes 



lappacea. Lin. 



Quoted with a query by Lamarck for his A. styracifolia , which is nearly 

 allied to, if not more than a variety of, D. atropurpurea. Linnaeus and almost 

 every other author has taken this to be the A. lappacea, but Jussieu consi- 

 dered vol. vii. tab. 43, to be that species. 



(*{\ "^ 



* >Cannabis sativa of Lin. Burman. 



61. J 



Quoted by Lamarck for his C. indica, which appears, from Roxburgh's remarks, 

 to be only a variety of C. sativa. 



62. Vernonia pectiniformis. Wight. Vernonia (or Vassinea) 



fragilis. Ham. MS. Conyza serrulata. Lam. 



It is quoted by Burman for a variety of the American Conyza odorata, and Dr. 

 Hamilton has suggested that it should be removed from Vernonia with the 

 generical name of Vassinea. 



63. Decaneurum Epilegium? Wight. 



Under the name of Verbesina Lavenia, or Lavenia erecta, this figure has been 

 quoted by Linnaeus (in the Mantissa), Burman, Willdenow, Smith, Roxburgh, 

 and others, and De Candolle has mentioned its having some resemblance to 

 Adenostemma viscosa, which is the same species, but it differs in having alter- 

 nate leaves and pale blue flowers, and is by far more likely to be a Decaneurum. 

 Dr. Hamilton has suggested, and I apprehend without sufficient grounds, that 

 it may be a species of Balsamita, now unknown. 



64. Vernonia cinereaVar. Wight. Conyza heterophylla. Lam. 

 In Dr. Wight's opinion the Cacalia rotundifolia of Willdenow belongs to this 



species. 



65. Pogostemon paniculatum. Bentham. Elsholtzia panicu* 



culata. Willd. Hyssopus cristatus. Lam. 



The leaves in this figure are not regularly opposite, and Lamarck considered it 

 to be an accidental error of the artists. 



66. Polycarpaea spadicea. Lam. Lahaya spadicea. JR. fy S. 



Mollia spadicea. Willd. in Berlin Mag.
