By Mr. James Traill. 



in strong heat, but has not yet produced flowers in Europe, 

 it is therefore uncertain whether it belongs to the genus, 

 although it may be presumed so, from its general habit not 

 differing from Hoya. 



The specific name of crassifolia, which had been given to 

 the H. carnosa, by Baron Jacquin, in 1811, has been applied 

 to this plant by an inadvertence on the part of the author 

 above quoted, he supposing Jacquin's plant to be identical 

 with this one, referring it to Jacquin's figure in his Eclogae. 

 Though the Hoya (Schollia) crassifolia of Jacquin, was pub- 

 lished by him in 1811, and was stated in his Eclogae to have 

 been sent to him from England in 1804, yet Mr. Ha worth 

 has referred the plant first introduced by Mr. Whitley in 

 1817, to it, and has adopted Jacquin's specific name, and 

 even stated the large spots on the leaves so conspicuously 

 exhibited in Jacquin's figure, as distinguishing this plant 

 from the H. carnosa. The name is objectionable, inasmuch 

 as it may occasion confusion in references, and when the plant 

 blossoms so that it can be fully and perfectly described, it 

 will probably receive some other.
