v. Descriptions of plants communicated to Wallich for his

 published 1820-1824. Jack seems to have had proof 

 sheets of part submitted or lent to him (letter dated 

 9th Sept. 1820). The descriptions were extracted by 

 Griffith and printed in the Calcutta Journal of Xaturai 

 History along with the above. 



vi. Suppressed or unpublished descriptions, recovered by 

 Sir William Hooker from printed advanced sheets 

 entitled like the three above, Descriptions of Malayan 

 Plants, Appendix to the Malayan Miscellanies, and 

 reprinted in the Companion to the Botanical Maga- 

 zine, Vol. (1835). 



vii. Wallich's Catalogue of the Plants in the Honourable 

 East India Company's Herbarium, lithographed from 

 1828' to 1832 and Sir Joseph Hooker's Flora of British 

 India (1872-1897) containing the elaboration of these, 

 viii.-x. Jack's three papers published by the Linnean Society 

 of London in the fourteenth volume of their Trans- 

 actions, (1823), viz. 



On the Malayan Species of Melastoma, pp. 1-22.

 23-45. 



Account of Lansium and some other Genera of Mala van 

 Plants, pp. 114-130". 



DILLENIACEAE. 



Acrotrema costatum, Jack. A common plant in the 

 Waterfall Valley, Penang, where Jack found it. He described 

 it in the Malay. Misc. i. Xo. 5, p. 36. Later it was found 

 by him at Tapanuli, Sumatra (letters p. 228). Acrotrema 

 was at the time a new genus, — a herb in an otherwise woody 

 order; and Jack did not recognise its affinity. After consult- 

 ing Wallich, he left it open. 



Te tracer a arbor escens, Jack, was found near the shores 

 of the Bay of Tapanuli, Sumatra, and described in Malay. 

 Misc. i. Xo. 5, p. 145. It seems (letters p. 229) to have been 

 obtained again, probably at Tapanuli.
