34 DB. H. F. HANOli's STJiPPLBMENT TO 



I bate retained the oldest specific name, not recognizing the 

 right of a botanist to give a new one 'because some prior author 

 bad used it when describing the plant under another genus f. 



*Claoxylon indicuni, Hassk.; J. Mull, in DC. Prod. xv. 7^2. (=C. 

 parvifloruirij Benth. Fl. Hongh. 305.) 

 J. MiiUer states that Adrien de Jussieu's O. pwhmflorvm is a 

 perfectly distinct spedies. * 



"Alchomea trewioides, /. Mull, in DC. Prod. xv. 90l. (=Stipellaria 

 trewioides, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 305.) 



*MaUotus Apelta, J. Mull, in DC. Prod. xv. 963. ( = Rottlera chi- 

 nensis, A. Juss. ; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 306.) 



^HaUotus paniculatus, J. Mull, in DC. Prod. xv. 965. (=Rottlera 

 paniculata, A. Juss. ; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 307.) 



^Hallotus Furetianus, J. Miill. in DC. Prod. xv. 968. ( = Hancea 

 muricftta, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 306.) 

 Wight's Olaoxylon mwieatum is, according to J. Miiller, a di- 

 stinct species. This plant exhales, while'alive, a most powerful 

 odour of liquorice — so strong, that I have been often guided to 

 it by that alone — and retains it also for years in the herbarium. 



■niallotus Hookeriantis, X Mt22. in DC. Prod. xv. 976. (=Haiicea 

 Hookeriana, Benth. Fl. Hongh. 306.) 

 The primary veias of the leaves are stouter and more nu- 

 merous in this than in the last. 



*MaUotus philippinensis, J. Mull, in DC. Prod. Xv. 980. (=Rottlera 

 tinctoria, Roxh. ; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 307.) 



*MaUotus repandus, J. Mull, in DC. Prod. xv. 981. ( = Rottlera? cor- 

 difolia, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 307.) 



*Macaranga Tanarius, J. Miill. in DC. Prod. xv. 997. (=Mappa Ta- 

 saria, Spr. ; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 304.) 



*Exc8Bcaria (Triadica) sebifera, J. Miill. in DC. Prod. xv. 1210. 

 (=Stillingia sebifera, Michx. ; Benth. Fl. Hongh. 302.) 



t I hSve read with the greatest satisfaction the foUowiag judicious remarks 

 on this subject— which exactly represent my own opinions — ^by Dr. E. H. O. 

 C. Sohefifer, at present in charge of the splendid Botanic Garden at Buitenzorg, 

 in Java. "Haud neoesae videtur speoiei a duobus auctoribus sub geueribus 

 et nominibus speciflois diversis editse, ubique nonien specifloum antiquius sub
