(1771) 221, apparently recognizing his error, he proposed a 

 new name for Phyllanthus epiphyllanthus of the second edition 

 of the Species Plantarum, calling it Xylophylla latifolia Linn. 

 A. de Candolle, Prodr. 14 (1857) 691, considers that Exocarpos 

 ce? -arnica A. DC. is distinct from E. phyllanthoides Endl., but 

 apparently saw no specimens of the former. Exocarpus 

 rolfeanus (0. Kuntze) Merr., in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1910) 

 Bot. 352, is certainly very closely allied to E. epiphyllanthus 

 (Linn.) Merr. and may have to be reduced to it. Of the names 

 discussed above, Xylophylla longifolia Linn., Phyllanthus epi- 

 phyllanthus Linn., as originally published, Phyllanthus ceramicus 

 Pers., and Exocarpus ceramicus R. Br. and of A. de Candolle must 

 all be interpreted from the Rumphian figure and description.

Vidara littorea Rumph. has not before been definitely placed; 

 it is unquestionably the widely distributed strand plant, Ximenia 

 americana Linn. It was reduced by Linnaeus, with doubt, to 

 Rhamnus napeca Linn., in Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 121. Lour- 

 eiro, Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 158, discusses it under Rhamnus 

 soporifer hour. =Zizyphus soporifera Schultes. Hamilton, Mem. 

 Wern. Soc. 6 (1832) 322, expresses the opinion that it is nearer 

 to Elaeagnus than to Zizyphus, and Teysmann thought it a 

 distinct species of Zizyphus which he called Zizyphus littorea, 

 and which was published by Hasskarl, in Abh. Naturf. Gesellsch. 

 Halle 9 (1866) 176 (Neue Schliissel 34). Of the names cited 

 above, but a single one, Zizyphus littorea Teysm., is typified by 

 the Rumphian figure, and this name is not listed in Index 

 Kewensis.
