NOTES ON INDIGOFERA 638 
Burmann, in his Flora Indica, 1768, p. 170 et seqg., has the 
following :— 
I. tinctoria, the same as the Ceylonese and Indian portion of 
I, tinctoria 
i. hirsuta, also that of Linneus. 
I, glabra, ‘also that of Linneus. 
I. trifoliata, also that of Linnzeus 
I. argentea, a good species, and sliogether distinct from the spe- 
cies named 1. argentea by Linneus in 17 
Miller, in his Dictionary, ed. viii. 1768, ‘has the followi ing :—- 
I. tinctoria; this, as an authentic example from Herb. Miller 
shows, is not the Linnean J. tinctoria; it is not, as a matter of fact, 
any form of J. tinctoria, wee is the Phen i state of I. Anil B poly- 
phylla DC., i.e. the true I. Anil of Linneu 
I. suffruticosa; this, as the authentic eal shows, is the same 
as the ‘“‘Guatimala Indigo” of vey ne and Lunan, and therefore 
only the wild state of the forego 
I. caroliniana, in all likelihood the same as the plant later 
termed I. caroliniana by Walters, and therefore = I. disperma L. 
There is a specimen of J. disperma in Herb. Miller, but it is not 
named J. caroliniana. 
1. indica = I. hirsuta L., and not the later I. indica of Lamarck. 
I. glabra, the same as that of Linneus 
In Linneus, Mantissa, pp. 272- 273, 1771, are the following ; 
some of them are only in a note

gustifolia; I, Anil, a species founded on a specimen Inciuded tM 
this ti y Linneus under I. tinetort specimen in 
viously characterized by Miller as J. suffruticosa, and subsequently 
name a by De Cando ile L. “anil var. B polyphylla ; I, tinctoria, now 
limited by Linneus, as in his Flora Zey ones of 1748 and as in 
Burmann’s Flora Indica of 1768, to the Madras form of J. omrighyl 
I. disperma, as in Syst. Nat. iii. Append. ; I. glabra, as in Sp. Pl.e
