JACK'S LETTERS TO WALLICH, 1819-1821. 197 



If Roxburgh has a figure of Uvaria pilosa, E. what the color of 

 its flowers. I think I have it described with ' red.' It is also 

 among the specs. 1S0 



Query are the berries of Uvaria granclirlora 1S1 angled, as in the 

 fig. in your Tentamen, or round as described by Eoxb. 



Pray send me a pencil outline of Ternstrcemia trilocularis 

 E. 182 if there is a fi£. Can Xo. 235 of your specimens be a Terns- 

 trcemia ? 



What is Brown's remark on Memecylon in Tuckey's Congo. 

 Also what his char: of Amyridea? in Do.? 



I found at Tappanooly the flowers of what from the fruit 

 alone we called Cnestis longifolia (Singapore) ; 183 but what say 

 you, it is only pentandrons ; there are two little villous processes 

 between each of the stamina. I found also two more species of 

 Connarus, 1 * 4 the examined -5 — all new. One from Penang C. ferru- 

 gineus, of which I have the description, three from Singapore 185 

 of which I have none, and I fear no duplicate specimens. If you 

 have made any memoranda of them let me have them, for these 

 Connaroideae must be attended to. I have been looking over 

 Eoemer. 1 - That and De Candolle 187 (try to get it for me) will be 

 invaluable when completed. What does Eoemer mean by saying 

 that Mangifera Indica has fol. venenatissima. True? I happen- 

 ed also to have observed that he gives Helicia Cochinchinensis in 

 one place, and then in the next under Ehopala Cochinchinensis 

 quotes it; somewhat tautological? 



When do you begin on Eoxburgh's Flora Indica vol. II, and 

 in the event of your proceeding to Xepaul what will be the 

 arrangement? I hope it will not stop. I forgot to ask whether 

 you have got a genus yet under your patronage, if not, how would 

 you like that your critical acumen should be commemorated by 



180. Uvaria pilosa, one of the species described by Koxburgh as from 

 "the Moluccas" is Jack's Uvaria hirsuta, from Penang. 



181. Uvaria grandiflora of Koxburgh is Uvaria purpurea, Blume ; but 

 Uvaria grandiflora, "Wallich is Uvaria Hamiltonii, Hook. f. Wallich had 

 made a mistake, and Jack was apparently upon the track of it. 



182. Ternstrcemia trilocularis, Koxburgh, is Saurauja tristyla, DC. 



183. Cnestis longifolia cannot be identified. 



184. Connarus ferrugineus was described by Jack from Penang in the 

 Malayan Miscellanies, ii. (1828) p. 372. 



185. Wallich' s catalogue shows that two of these were Agelaza vestita 

 Hook, f., No. 8555, and Connarus semidecandrus, Jack, which Wallich called 

 C. gibbosus, No. 8541.
