The Index Kewensis référence to Wallich's species is his 1831 publica- 

 tion, but the species was described in détail in 1829, cited by Wallich as 

 "Act. Soc. Med. Phys. Calcutta iv. 117," This is the "Transactions" and 

 the volume, which I hâve examined, was published in 1829. Pitard had 

 only rhizomes of a Panax from Indo-China and included a short generic 

 description only in Lecomte, FI. Gén. Indo-Chine 2: 1162. 1923.
