8. The following extract from a letter which I have lately received 

 from Dr. Wight may be interesting: 



„1 have lately received a copy of the first volume of the Flora 

 Seneganibiae, which, although hitherto I have only had time to 

 examinc thc plates, satisfies me how much the flora of that coun- 

 try and of the Peninsula agrecs, and that if vvc had the specimens 

 to compare, we mcight rcducc the number of species considera- 

 bly morc thcn proposcd by you in the Annalcs des sciences natu- 

 rellcs: Thus Cocculus Bakis rcsembles too closely our Cocculus 

 cordifolia, and the Cissampelos mucronata is scarcely a va- 

 riety of Cissampelos convolvulacea: Triumfetta pentandra 

 seems so much allied to our Triumfetta angulata, that if I saw 

 it growing in India, I should pass it as such: Heudelotia afri- 

 cana belongs, as I think, to the same genus as our Protium Gi- 

 leadense, and is, I suspect, a native of this country, at least I 

 have a plant very like it , a large shrub, which I found ncar Bel- 

 lary: Dalbergia melanoxylon appcars lo bepreciscly our Dal- 

 bergia frondosa. u
