 There seems still a confusion 

 to exist respecting this species. 

 I observe that you make it 

 synonymous with Smithimm, 

 Now SmithzaH«, as figured by 

 Wallich, is a very different 

 thing: I should say a Picea. 

 I am likewise of opinion that 

 all the plants raised from seed 

 by Mr. Knight are identical 

 with the Hopetoun plant, from 

 which all our morindas have 

 been raised from cuttings. The 

 circumstance of that plant 

 being of rather a rigid habit 

 accounts for tlie slight differ- 

 ence existing between the cut- 

 tings raised from it : however, 

 that difference is not nearly so 

 great as may be found amongst 

 the varieties in any bed _ of 

 spruces. My reason for being 

 so particular about Morinda is, 

 because I am aware that most 

 people, who possess both varie- 

 ties, think differently from me 

 on the subject. 



[Mr. Barron is quite right 

 in thinking that Dr. Wallich's 

 figure resembles a Picea rather 

 than an J'bies ; the cone in 

 that figure being erroneously 

 turned upwards. The figure of 

 Dr. Royle, of Pinus Khutrow, 

 however, from which our fig. 

 2229. in the Arboretum Britan- 

 nicum is copied, has the cone 

 turned downwards ; and the 

 tree, in its native country, being 

 familiar to Dr. Royle, though, 

 we believe, never seen by Dr. 

 Wallich, Royle's figure is 

 doubtless correct, and ^'bies 

 Khutrow, Morinda, and Smith- 

 idna are one and the same.]
