108 Selections. [no. new series, 
the specimens of Plecospermmi belonged to the letter E, from 
Avhich packet they had dropped out, and that they were not 
derived from the garden at all ; at the same time I may state 
that in some herbaria specimens of Plecospermujn only are to 
be found under the letter D : it is readily recognized by the 
paler, almost livid and cb ovate lea'y:^s. 
E, from the Peninsula (Herb. Wight), is Plecospermum spi- 
nosnm. 
F, from Taondong. On this I have no notes ; but if my re- 
collection be correct, both C and F are species of Ctidrania, 
I may here add that of Wallich's List, 
No. 4642, or Trophis Hepieana, is T. spinosa, Roxb. Fl. Ind., or T. 
taxotdes, Heyne and Roth, and is therefore a species of Fpi- 
carpurus. 
4643 A, or Batis fruticosa, is Batis fruticosa, Roxb., but is a species 
of Cudrania. 
B seems somewhat different. 
Morus? scajidens, Wall. L. n. 4652, is the same as M. Javamcay 
Blume, Bijdr. p. 488, and Trcphis scajidens. Hook, et Am. Bot. 
Beech. Voy. p. 214, and is a species oi^Ialaisia^ a genus oi Morece, 
closely allied to Trophis, but perhaps sufEciently distinct by the 
number of stamens. 
To sum up these remarks : — Trophis spmosa, Roxb. Fl. Ind. 
(and the only plant intended by him under this name in his 
published works), is an Epicarpurus. T. spinosa, Roxb. MSS., and 
of his earlier collections, as well as of Willdenow, or Baits spiriosa, 
Roxb. Fl. Ind., is Plecospermum spinosum of Trecul, to which also 
T. aculeata of Roth must be referred, which is truly a Coromandel 
plant, and not from Nepal. T. spinosa, AVall., from Nepal, is Cu- 
drania Javanica; to which genus Baiis fruticosa, Roxb., and several 
species from'the islands to the east of India, belong. 
I have only to add that in the fifteenth volume of the Linna3a, 
Spanoghe, in his Catalogue of Timor plants, enumerates, at p. 355, 
« Trophis spinosa, Roxb.," and " T. coccinea, Zp.:" notwithstanding
