In Journ. Linn Soc. xiii, 330, there is a note by Mr. W. T. Thiselton 

 Dyer (who elaborated this family of Tern sir cemiacece in the Flora of Brit. 

 India) on the plant issued by Wallich as Ternstfoimia coriacea, and 

 identified by him (in an appendix to his Catalogue,) with Camellia 

 axillaris, Roxb. Mr. Dyer shows that, under the name G. axillaris, Roxb , 

 a totally different plant (= Gordonia anomala, Spreng) was figured in 

 the Bot. Register (t. 349), and that Wallich's T. coriacea was neither 

 Roxburgh's plant nor that figured in the Bot. Register, bat really
