Ord. XIII. AURANTIACEiE. Corr. 



1. Triphasia trifoliata. De Cand. Prodr. v. lip, 536. — T. aurantiola. Lour. Cochin. 1. p. 

 189. — Limonia trifoliata. Linn. 



1. Cookia punctata ; foliolis ovato-lanceolatis basi vix inaequalibus, floribus paniculatis. — 

 Betz. Obs. 6. p. 29. Lam. III. t. 354. — Quinaria Lansium. Lour. Cochin, p. 272. — Humph. 

 Ami. 1. 55. 



" The fresh leaves, when rubbed, smell like anise-seed." — Collie, MSS. 



1. Murraya exotica; foliolis cuneato-oblongis obtusis cbriaceis, pedunculis multifloris 

 corymbosis, baccis submonospermis. — Linn. Mant. p. 393. Lam. III. t. 352. — Chalcas 

 Japonensis. Lour. Cochin, p. 332. Humph. Amb. 5. t. 18./! 2. 



This must not be confounded with the M. exotica of some Botanists, particularly of Roxburgh, Flora 

 Indica, v. 2. p. 374., and n. 48 of his drawings, in the East India Company's Museum, and apparently of 

 Dr. Wallich's List, n. 63G8, which appears to be the Chalcas paniculata of Loureiro, the Murraya pani- 

 culata of Smith's Herbarium, and Rumphius' Herb. Amb. 5. t. 17, a species which is too closely allied to 

 M. Sumatrana. Roxb. Hort. Bengh. p. 32, and Fl. Ind. v. 2. p. 375. With this last, is identical M. pani- 

 culata, Jack, and Hook. Exot. Fl. t. 79; it has the flowers terminal, and not nearly so panicled, if indeed 

 they can be said to be so at all, as in the other species, hence, as Jack observed, the name given by him 

 ought to be changed to M. Sumatrana, even although he had not given it upon the supposition that his 

 and Loureiro's plants were the same. The true 31. paniculata may be characterised, " foliis ovatis, floribus 

 paniculatis;" while M. Sumatrana is distinguished shortly by " foliis ovatis acumiuatis, floribus terminali- 

 bus subsolitariis." 



1. Glycosmis citrifolia ; foliolis 4-5-alternis oblongo-laneeolatis basi inaequalibus utriuque 

 acuminatis mtegerrimis, panicula contracta racemosa, corolla campanulata, fructibus ovato- 

 spha?roideis obliquis. Lindl. in Hort. Soc. Trans, v. 6. p. 72. — Limonia citrifolia. Willd. 

 Enum. p. 448. De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 536. L. parviflora. Sims, in Bot. Mag. t. 2416. 

 De Cand. Prodr. v. I. p. 536. 



The genus Glycosmis is perhaps only distinguishable from Limonia by the structure of the fruit. In 

 Limonia, the pericarp is tough, and resembling the rind of an orange, and the seeds are covered with pulp. 

 In Glycosmis, the pericarp is fleshy, like the eatable parts of a cherry, and the seeds are destitute of pulp. 

 — We possess Clansena excavata, Burm., and Atalantia monophylla, DC, of this Order, from near Macao, 

 gathered by Mr. Millett.
