274 A COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND BOOK 
CAP. X. 
Palala tertia s, tingens, p. 27, t. 7- 
In the Encyclopedie Methodique (iv. 391) this is quoted 
with doubt for the Myrisiica uviformis of M. Lamarck, 
which he described from specimens sent by Sonnerat. 
Willdenow, who never saw any of the plants, without any 
hesitation joins it with the two next Palalas^ to form a 
species, which he calls M. microcarpa, thus setting aside 
the name previously given by M. Lamarck. 
Palala quarta s. canariformis s. dentarta, p. 27^ t. 8. 
This Willdenow calls (Sp. PL iv. 871) Myrisiica micro- 
carpa /3, considering it as a mere variety of the preceding, 
for which I see no good reason. 
Palala quinta s. globularia, p. 28, t. 9. 
In the Encyclopedie Methodique (iv. 388) this was re- 
ferred with doubt to the Myristica globular ia of M. La- 
marck, described from specimens sent by Sonnerat. Will- 
denow without hesitation considers them as the same, and 
joins them, as variety y, to the AI, microcarpa (Sp, PL 
iv. 871), although I see no reason, at any rate, to doubt of 
M. Lamarck^s accuracy, in having distinguished his M. 
globular ia as a different species from his M. uviformis. 
Palala sexta, p. 28. 
There can be no doubt of this also being a Myristica, 
, although it has not yet been introduced into modern sys- 
tems,
