chaerina setarum defectu et habitu j a Hypaelyptis paleis persistentibus et 

 habitu diversissimo ; forte rectius proprii generis.' Dr. Wight says that it 

 is the Tunga diandra of Roxburgh, and the Hypoelytrum nemorum which 

 Beauvais has figured for Vahl's S. nemorum is probably another species. 



Tab. 59. Curculigo orchioides. Roxb. 



In General Hardwick's copy this plate is marked ' Scilla radicans.' 



60. Zizania terrestris. Lin. 



Sir J. E. Smith has remarked that Linnaeus described his Zizania terrestris 

 from the Hortus Malabaricus alone, and all the other descriptions that I have 

 met with have been equally borrowed from Rheede. 



61. Panicum miliaceum of Lin. 



Dr. Hamilton doubted whether it may not be the P. ramosum of Linnaeus's 

 Mantissa. 



62. Perotis latifolia. Hort. Kew. Saccharum spicatum. Lin. 



Linnaeus has throughout quo ted this figure of Rheede 's for his Saccharum spicatum. 

 and supposing that another plant may, in the first edition of the Species Planta- 

 rum, have been intended, there can be no doubt that S. spicatum of other editions 

 is the Perotis latifolia, but this figure has been erroneously quoted by Burman 

 for his S. spicatum, which is quite different, and is the S. spicatum of Smith ; 

 the former is tab. 119, fig. 1, and the latter is tab. 92, fig. 5, of Plukenet's 

 Phytographia. In the Flora Zeylanica, Plukenet, 1. 119, f. 1, is also quoted 

 for Anthoxanthum indicum, and though Linnseus afterwards omitted this refe- 

 rence, his A. indicum and S. spicatum are probably synonymous. 



63. Mariscus umbellatus. Vahl. Kyllinga umbellata. Rotboll. 



This figure answers almost equally to M. umbellatus and M . cyperinus of Vahl, 

 and it is quoted for the latter by Dr. Wight. 



64. Calamus gracilis. Roxb. C. petraeus of Lour. Poiret. 



Quoted by Linnseus, Burman, Willdenow, and Dennstedt for C. Rotang, but it 

 has more the appearance of Willdenow's C. equestris. 



65. Calamus Scipionum of Loureiro. ? Poiret. 



Roxburgh, in the Hortus Bengalensis, has quoted this figure for his C. latifolius, 

 but the reference is omitted in the Flora Indica, and t. 66 answers better to 

 it. It is misquoted by Dennstedt for the C. niger of Willdenow, and by no 

 means accurately accords with Loureiro's description of C. scipionum, 



66. Calamus latifolius of Roxburgh. 



Mistaken by Dennstedt for the C. viminalis of Willdenow. 



67. Schrenus pauiculatus. Burman. 



In the Herbarium Arnboinense this is said to be the Carex amloinicus of Rum- 

 phius, vol. vi. t. 8, f. 1, although they have a different appearance, and both 

 these figures are quoted by Burman in the Flora Indica for his S.paniculatus, 

 which is a very uncertain species. It is referred to with a query by Rotboll 

 for S. Surimanensis. 



68. Eriocaulon setaceum. Lin. 



69. Cynosurus Cavara. Ham. MS. 



Under that generical name, or of Eleusine, most authors have followed Linnaeus 

 in quoting this figure for his Cynosurus indicus; and either as an Eleusine, or
