genus Ecaslaphyllum as having been Sc oed beras Jenn ihe p iid 
already proposed ur 17066. by E P: Dod НВА oraph: it is enough to remark 
of this proposal will be dealt with in a subsequent РАР ; ма s ем 
that Poiret aecepts the transfer of D. Monetaria, but does not corree 
Lamarck as regards var. 8. of D. lanccolaria.t Of the eight additional ieee ae 
Poiret adds to the two mentioned by Lamarck, only the three cited es ох МЕ 1 
really belong to the genus; the others are species of In coe or of Ses oe = 
only doubtfully admits Persoon’s D. Diphaca, which is an Ormocarpum ; he similarly 
treats Desfontaine’s D. latisiliqua, an American species that still remains doubtful 
because, though admitted into the list of Dalbergias given in the Тиге еч it 
is not dealt with by Bentham in his revision of the group Dalbergieae.T Three years 
later an exceedingly important reference to Dalbergia was made by Roxburgh, in the 
iorm of a list of the species of this genus under cultivation in the Honourable 
Company’s Botanic Garden at Calcutta§ in the year 1814, with a supplementary 
list of those species of which he had only seen Herbarium specimens and had 
prepared botanical descriptions for the manuscript of his Flora Indica. The latter 
work was not published till 1832, but the list, supported as the proposed species are 
by contemporary descriptions and drawings, thoroughly deserves full acceptance. For 
the benefit of those who may wish to consult this list, which was repeated in 
De Candolle’s Prodromus, it seems advisable to give it once more in full with the 
names duly noted by which tie various species are now known—
