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



SAPINDACEAE. 



Cardiospermum sp. is mentioned as occurring at Acheen 

 (letters p. 174). 



Erioglossum edule, Blume, is the Sapindus rubiginosus 



of Roxburgh under which name Jack records its cultivation in 

 Penang (Malay. Misc. i. Xo. 1, p. 11). 



Lepidopetalum Jackianum, Radlk. (Cupania Jacliana, 

 Hiern in Flora Brit. India, i. p. 678) is a Car Xicobar plant 

 which Wallich distributed as Connarus? Jackianus (Wall. Cat., 

 Xo. 8552). 



Nephel'ium lappacem, Linn., the Eambutan, was des- 

 cribed by Jack from Penang and elsewhere (Malay. Misc. i. 

 Xo. 1, p. 16). He mentions it in his letters (p. 154). 



ANACARDIACEAE. 



Mangifera quadrifida, Jack, was found in Penang, and 

 diagnosed in a letter to Wallich (p. 152). Afterwards it was 

 described from Jack's MS. in Carey and Wallieh's revision of 

 Roxburgh's Flora Indica ii. p. 440. 



Mangifera foetida, Lour., was found by Jack in Penang 

 letters p. 152) and described along with the last from Penang 

 and Sumatra, etc. Specimens collected by Jack were distri- 

 buted by Wallich (Cat. Xo. 8488). 



Mangifera caesia, Jack, was found by Jack in Sumatra, 

 perhaps at Bencoolen (letters p. 216), and described along 

 with the above two (p. 441). 



Gluta Benghas, Linn., was found by Jack at Xatal and 

 Moco-moco in Sumatra, etc. He described it in print as 

 Stag nutria vemicifiua, but withdrew the description from 

 publication, for as pointed out in his letters (p. 229) he found 

 out the identity. Sir William Hooker published Jack's name- 

 Stagmaria — and the description in the Companion to the 

 Botanical magazine, i. (1835) p. 267. 



SABIACEAE. 



Meliosma nitida, Blume, is the Millingtonia sumatrana 

 described by Jack from Pulau Xias (MalaA\ Misc. ii. Xo. 7, 

 p. 36).

Agelaea vestita, Hook, f . Wallich distributed this' plant 

 from Jack's collecting in Singapore as Xo. 8535; and on p. 

 19 7 of his letters he mentions having got three species of its 

 order, — the Connaraceae, — calling them Connarus, in Singa- 

 pore, the specimens of which were left with Wallich. 



Rourea concolor, Blume, is thought to be the Cnestis 

 mimosoides described by Jack from Tapanuli, Sumatra, 

 (Malay. Misc. ii. Xo. 7, p. 44).
