60 t). Praia — The Asiatic species of Dalbergia. .[No. 1, 



collection the writer discovered a note on a sheet of D. sijmpathetica Nimmo, from 

 Herb. Wight in Herb. Shuttleworth, in Mr. Bentham's handwriting, which shows 

 that that learned botanist had already made this discovery. The note is as follows :— 

 "This is a distinct species for which Heyne's name I), midtijlora may be retained 

 " unless it turns ont be one of Roxburgh's. 1 have it in flower from Arnotfc who, in 

 " his I'rodromus, appears to have confounded it with D.frondosa. He had it not then 

 " in flower." 



Tliis being the Amerimnum horridum of Dennstedt \^Schlils. Hort. Malabar, 

 3-4 (1818)] it ought perhaps to receive the name Dalbergia horrida ; the objection to 

 using this name is the existence of a synonym D. horrida Grah. which is the equi- 

 valent of D. spinosa Roxb.

The opportunity of examining authentic examples of Blume's and Miquel's 

 specimens in the Leiden Herbarium, kindly afforded by the late Prof. Snringar, has 

 permitted a settlement of the confusion in synonymy connected with this species, 

 the validity of which the writer had already established in 1897.
