<36 HORT. MAL. VOL. XII. 



has altered the description of that species in the Mantissa. Isolepis squarrosa 

 of Carmichael in the Linneau Transactions, vol. xii., is another species, and 

 the name has been changed by Schultes to /. acugnana. 

 Tab. 39. Lycopodium cernuum. Lin. 



Rheede's descriptions of tab. 39 and 40 are wrongly numbered, and that marked 

 40 belongs to this plate, and vice versa. 



40. Adiantum lunulatum. Burmanfy H.fyG. Pteris lunulata. 



Roxb. 



41. Eragrostis plumosa of Schultes. Poa plumosa of Retz. 



Roxb. 



Quoted by Linnseas both for Panicum patens and Poa tenetta, and by Rremer 

 and Schultes for Eragrostis tenella, to which it is nearly allied. 



42. Cyperus elatus of Lin.? RotbolL C. venustus of R. Brown. 



Wight. 



Misquoted by Vahl for his C. canescens, and by Roxburgh for the C. alopecu- 

 roides of Rotboll, which was considered by Willdenow to be the Linnean 

 C. glomeratus. 



43. Andropogon aciculatum of Retz. Roxb. 



Quoted by Burman for the Linnean Scirpus corymbosus, and by Vahl for his 

 Rhynchospora aurea, which is probably the same species. 



44. Paspalum longiflorum of Retz. Roxb. 



Mistaken by Dennstedt for the Linneau Andropogon muticum. 



45. Digitaria malabarica. JR. fy S. Syntherisma malabarica. 



Swartz. Festuca indica. Retz. Melica diandra of 

 Roxb. Poa malabarica of Lin. 



It is quoted with a query by Lamarck for his Panicum miliare, and by Roemer 

 and Schultes both for D. malabarica and for F.indica ; and Sprengel's Diplachne 

 indica may probably be the same species. 



46. Saccharum exaltatum. Roxb. 



Roxburgh considered it to be this species rather than S.epontaneum, for which, or 

 as Imperata spontanea, it has been quoted by Linnaeus and most other authors, 

 except Burman, who mistook it for the Linnean Panicum alopecuroideum. 



47. Panicum Dactylon of Roxb. Cnot Lin.) Agrostis linearis 

 of Kcenig. Sir W. Jones. 



Although it is not quoted either by Retz or Roxburgh, there can be no doubt 

 that this ' Durba' ' plurimis ceremoniis in religione Bramannum celebratur' 

 is the A. linear is of the former and P. Dactylon of the latter; and we have the 

 authority of Mr. Lambert (in Lin. Trans, vol. vii.) for considering P. Dactylon 

 to be a native of the East Indies as well as of Great Britain; the fructification 

 however appears to me to differ materially in our Cornish plant, and Sir W. 

 Jones says, that ' its flowers, in their perfect state, are among the loveliest 

 objects in the vegetable world, and appear, through a lens, like minute rubies 

 and emeralds in constant motion from the least breath of air.' This figure is 

 quoted with a query for Paspalum africanum by Poiret. 



48. Scleria lithosperma. Willd. Schoenus lithospermus. Lin. 



Misquoted by Poiret for Scleria Flagellum, and by Linnaeus this West Indian 

 negro scourge has been confounded with Rheede's plant, under the name of 

 S. lithospermus.
