HORT. MAL, VOL. XII. 69 



Dactyloctenium, it is quoted by others for the Linnean C. dEgyptius, and it is 

 referred to in Rees's Cyclopaedia for both. Of these two it is most nearly 

 allied to the latter ; but Dr. Hamilton considered it, and I think rightly, to be 

 a separate species. 



Tab. 70. Coix Lachryma. Lin. 



71 . Isolepis articulata. Wight. Scirpus articulatus. Lin. 



72. Andropogon Schcenanthus of Lin. Roxb* A. Schoananthus 



Var. Lam. Cymbopogon Schoenanthus. Sprengel. 



To Rheede's imperfect figure of this interesting species, Wallich's tab. 280 

 presents a splendid contrast. 



73. Arundo Karka of Retz and Roxburgh. Trichoon Karki of 



Roth. (Cat. Bot.) 



74. Polypodium acrostichoides. Swartz.? Acrostichum lan- 



ceolatum. Lin.? 



Quoted by Linnaeus and others for A. lanceolatum, and by Swartz and Willdenow 

 for P. acrostichoides, which, according to Blume, are two different species of 

 Niphobolus, and from the Synomyns of both he has excluded the present 

 figure. As suggested by Dr. Hamilton it may probably be a species of Vit- 

 taria, allied to the V. revoluta of Don's Prodromus. 



75. Spinifex dioicus. Ham. MS. 



Linnaeus, in the Mantissa, has been apparently misled by Rumphius to quote 

 this figure for his Stipa spinifex (i. e. Spinifex squarrosus of the Supplement), 

 and it is also quoted erroneously by Burman for his Stipa littorea. On the 

 other hand, Osbeck has quoted it for a plant which he gathered on the river 

 side near Canton, and which he considered to be the Linnean Cypents Haspan. 



76. Polygonum rivulare. Roxb. 



Quoted by Linnaeus and others for P. orientale, but the leaves are not sufficiently 

 ovate for that species ; and it is said by Dennstedt, on what grounds I know 

 not, to be the P. barbatum of Gmelin. 



77. Polygonum glabrum of Willd. Roxb. 



Misquoted by Linnaeus, Burman, and Willdenow, for P. barbatum, and bjr 

 Dennstedt for the Linnean P. orientale. 



78. Eleusine coracana. Per soon. Cynosurus coracanus. Lin. 



79. Holcus spicatus of Lin. Burman. Pennisetum spicatum. 



Persoon. ? 



Quoted with a query by Dennstedt for Panicum italicum, and Roxburgh, who 

 considered his P. spicatum to be the Linnean H. spicatus, has followed Linnaeus 

 in quoting Flukenet, tab. 32, fig. 4, which has a more compact and cylindrical 

 spike than is here represented.
