APFEWBIX. 



XN the enutneration which I published in the ninth volume of Asiatick 

 Researches, of the species of pepper, indigenous or cultivated in Prince of 

 fP'ales's Jslandy one called by the Malays, Gddu, Cauda or Gadukh wa& 

 mentioned (pag. 392.) Of thisr kind, the specimens which I had then- 

 seen being destitute of fru6tification, I was enabled by report only to re^* 

 fer jt to this genus, and had no adequate means of ascertaining the speci- 

 fic chara61:er. To supply this defe61:, I obtained, by the assistance of a 

 friend on the island, some live plants of this species, and committed them 

 to the care of Dr. Roxburgh, who found them, when they blossomed, 

 to be a species which had been introduced into the botanical garden some 

 years before, and to which he has given the name of Piper Sarmentosum. 

 To his kindness I am obliged for the following- specific character and 

 description.
