The folloAving names of genera are said to be derived 

 from Tamil, but I have been unable to identify them in 

 Winslow : — 



Modecca i Toddalia 



Sonerilaf | Walsura

* I am not certain whether this name is Sinhalese, or came with the plant 

 when it was introduced from Mauritius by Governor Van der Graaf. 

 Oliver, in his Indian Botany, talks of " cassava-meal " or " mandiocca " 

 (p. 280). 



f It has been suggested that this is the Tamil for " I do not know," in 

 reply to the question " What is the name of this plant ? " but I fear this is 

 only hen trovato.
