those of the kind w hich grows erect. Specimens of this hist were 

 sent from Ava to the hite Sir Joseph Banks, under the name of 

 Ficus scandens ; and others from India have been phiced in the 

 library at the India House, under the name of F/ciis dcnticulata 

 {Cat. No. 2438), a name not known when I first saw the plant, 

 and which seems to have escaped Dr. Roxburgh, as he called 

 the same plant Ficus quercifoUa ; at least the plant which was 

 shown to me in the Botanical Garden by that name was the 

 Ficus dcnticulata. I am however aware that much reliance 

 cannot be placed on the accuracy of gardeners. The plants of 

 this species also from the two comitries differ in a few points, 

 but such as do not warrant a separation.
