36 THE FLORA OF SINGAPORE. 



out. He died in or about 1858. 



Sir Robert Schnmburgk, well known for his explorations in 

 Guiana, where he discovered the Victoria regia, was appointed 

 British Consul in Siarn in 1857. He visited Singapore and col- 

 lected a few plants there, which he sent to Kew, and which were 

 described in the Flora of British India. Some of them, however, 

 were evidently obtained from gardens. 



Dr. T. Anderson, 1832 to 1870, was Director of Calcutta 

 Botanic Gardens. He appears to have visited Singapore at 

 some time, and obtained several plants of interest. He devoted 

 himself to the Acanthaceae, and Eranthemum Andersoni Mast, a 

 common garden plant here was named after him. 



Mr. 7?. IT. Hullett made some years ago an excellent her- 

 barium of Singapore plants, which he eventually presented to 

 the Botanic Gardens. Duplicate specimens were sent to Kew 

 and to Calcutta, where they were named, and several new spe- 

 cies bear his name. 



In the following list all plants with no collector's name 

 were obtained by myself or by native collectors employed at 

 the Gardens, and the numbers attached are those of my dis- 

 tribution-series. Endemic species, not yet known from else- 

 where are marked with an asterisk and introduced plants, which 

 have not properly established themselves but which occur in 

 waste ground and the like, are included in brackets. The 

 Mosses, Lichens, Fungi and Algae, are deferred. Collections of 

 these have been made and submitted to experts, and I hope to 

 publish an account of them at a later date.
