I feel satisfied that the other species placed by Roxburgh in Batis 
{B./ruticoia) is referable to Cudrania. 
M. Trecul states that the specimens received by M. Delessert, 
and at the Paris Museum, from Dr. V\^allich, under No. 4G41 of 
his list, belong to two difi'erent genera ; M. Trecul adds however, 
that these specimens \YA-e from Nepal. Now herein, I believe, is 
some error ; for, although Cudrania Javanensis be found in Nepal, 
I have reason to suppose that Plecospermum is not, and conse- 
quently that there must have been some mixture of labels ; indeed, 
from the rapidity with which Dr. Waliich distributed the large col- 
lection under his charge, he could not overlook every specimen, but 
was obliged to leave much to those friends v/ho assisted him. As 
M. Trecul does not state VciQhtter attached to the specimens, I have 
no means of checking the error, but shall here state in detail the 
result of my own examination of most of the suite of specimens re- 
served for the India House, and now belonging to the Linnean So- 
ciety of London. 
4641 A, Herb. Heyne, from the Peninsula, is Plecospermum spino-' 
sum, with some specimens accidentally mixed of Pisonia 
aculeaia."^ 
B, from Nepal, appears to be Cudrania Javanensi's, but the 
specimens are bad ; this species, however, is to be seen in 
various herbaria from Nepal, collected by Dr. V/ allich, in 
1822. 
C, Rohilcund. (On this I have no notes.) 
D, from the Hort. Bot. Calc, is Cudrania JavanensiSf with 
one piece of Plecospermum spinosum. The former v/as in- 
troduced from Nepal into the garden by Dr. Waliich, and 
the latter from Coromandel by Dr. Roxburgh, in 1802 ; con- 
sequently both, being cultivated there, may have got mixed 
by those who dried them ; but it rather appears to me that 
• la the Linnean herbarium are t^vo specimens, oae marked by Linnjsus P. 
aculeaia, the other, with smaller leaves, is unnamed by him but marked by Sir J. 
E. Smith P. mitis, L. This last agrees with the specimen mixed with "Wall. L, 
4611 A, but not with Lianseus's description of P. miiis, of which, however, he had 
no specimen.
