244 JACK'S LETTEES TO WALLICH, 1819-1821. 



TERNSTROEMIACEAE. 



Adinandra dumosa, Jack, was described from Sumatra 

 as " abundant in thickets " and in various parts of the Malay 

 Islands (Malay. Misc. ii. No. 7, p. 50). 



Adinandra sylvestris, Jack is named in the Malay. 

 Misc. ii. Xo. 7, affixed sheet iii) as having been obtained in 

 Moeo-moco, Sumatra. 



Saurauja tristyla, DC, was described by Jack from 

 Penang as Ternstroemia pentdpetdla (Mala v. Misc. i. Xo. 5, 



p. 40). 



; Saurauja sp. was described from Salumah, Sumatra, as 



Ternstroemia cuspidata (Malay. Misc. ii. Xo. 7, p. 28). 



Ternstroemia serrata, Jack, was obtained on Pulau 

 Xias and described in Malay. Misc. ii. Xo. 7, p. 27. It would 

 seem to be one of the Ternstroemias referred to in his letters 

 p. 229). 



Ternstroemia acuminata, Jack, was described from 

 Tapanuli in Malay. Misc. ii. Xo. 7, p. 26, and would seem to 

 be referred to in his letters (p. 229). 



Cleyera rubiginosa, was described by Jack from Suma- 

 tra as Ternstroemia rubiginosa (Malay. Misc. i. Xo. 5, p. 39). 



Archytaea Vahlii, Choisy, was collected by Jack at Rhio 

 (letters p. 181) : but Wallicb distributed specimens as Jack's 

 from Penang, possibly erroneously (Wall. Cat. Xo. 4866). 



DIPTEROCARPACEAE. 



Dryobalanops Camphora, Gaertn., grows freely near 

 Tapanuli, Sumatra, and thence Mr. Prince, the Resident, had 

 supplied information about it to Roxburgh, together with the 

 foliage. Living plants and seeds from the same source were 

 sent to Colebrooke, and served for a description with a plate 

 published by the Asiatic Society in 1816 (Asiatick Researches 

 xii., p. 538). In 1819 Mr. Prince got the flowers and sent 

 them to Raffles, who put them in Jack's hands (letters p. 182). 

 Jack there-upon drew up a description which went into print 

 in the suppressed part of his Descriptions (see above, item Xo. 

 vi. of the sources). 



MALVACEAE. 



Gossypium bras'iliense, Macf., the Pernambuco cotton, 

 is reported as cultivated experimentally in Penang in a letter 

 (p. 169). 



STERCULIACEAE. 



Sterculia laevis, Wall., is recorded by Jack as having 

 been found in Penang, but under the wrong name of S. 

 coccinea, Eoxb. (Malay. Misc. i. Xo. 1, p. 20).
