The species oe pt are arranged according to the sequence 
of the dates of their publication. The three species of Indigo named 
by Linneus in the first edition of his Species Plantarum are the same 
as in his earlier Flora Zeylanica (1748), which was founded on the 
collections of P. Hermann ; specimens of all three exist in Her- 
8 herbarium. 
In the Species Plantarum, 1758, we have, therefore :—I. tinctoria 
= the Madras form of this plant, but, as his herbarium shows, with 
the plant subsequently distin gaialid as I, Anil included; I. hirsuta 
and o glabra, Additional in Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1763, we
