These seem different species, not only from all those above 
mentioned, but from each other. Nothing, however, is 
known of the trees that produce them. 
While such a number of plants have been called Sanda- 
lum ruhrum^ and so little is known of the greater part, it 
would be impossible to refer the synonyma given by 
Burman, in his observation, with any accuracy ; and I must 
add to the difficulty by increasing the list of plants known 
by this name. In several places of Gangetic India, the 
Adenanthera pavonina has been shown to me as the Rdkta 
Chandana^ or Red Sandal. In the alpine parts of Nepal, 
also, there is a tree called Lai Chandan, or Red Sandal, 
which is mentioned in my account of that country (p. 85). 
I saw neither flower nor fruit, but received specimens in 
leaf, which have been sent to the India-House. It has the 
habit of the Laurince, 
Arbor ramulis glabris angulatis, ligno rubro inodoro. Folia alterna, 
oblonga, utrinque acuta, integerrhtia, glabra, costata. Petiolus brevis- 
simus, non stipulaceus.

Pseudo-Santalum Amboinense^ p. 54. 
M. Lamarck called this Aralia umhelUfera (Enc. Meth. 
i. ^25) ; but he had not seen any specimen, nor is there 
any thing in either the figure or description of Ilumphius 
to show that it really belongs to this genus, although it no 
doubt has the habit of the same natural order. The genus 
Aralia, indeed, as it stands in the last systematic writers, 
is quite unnatural. From some words in the description, 
we may perhaps infer that the Pseudo-Sandalum is dioeci- 
ous, and that Rumphius had not seen the female : " Qui-
