OF THE HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE. 291 
Burman in his observation confounded with the Kcekura 
ghalia or Vateria indica, the smell of which has no more re- 
semblance to that of Sandal, than its appearance has to the 
Sirium. We cannot, however, from thence conclude with 
Rumphius, that these three kinds o£Rasamala are the same ; 
and subsequent observations have pointed out (Enc. Meth. 
Sup. V. 545), that the Lignum Pajniajium, meaning pro- 
bably the first kind, belongs to the order of Coniferce, and 
has been called Altingia mrulea by Persoon,

Caju (Lignum) Galedupa, p. 59, t. 13. 
In treating of the Pongam, in a commentary on the Hor- 
tus Malabaricus (vi. 5), I have mentioned the errors that 
have arisen from M. Lamarck's having confounded that 
plant with the Galedupa, and thus having given rise to a 
genus Galedupa, in which this tree is not included. M. 
Lamarck, indeed, became sensible of this error, and there- 
fore gave the name Pungamia to the new genus ; but seve- 
ral botanists, wiUing enough to reject M. Lamarck's names, 
when right, continue the name Galedupa, which he acknow- 
ledges to be wrong. 
On account of this tree having a resinous nature, scarcely 
known among the true Leguminosce, and on account of the 
fleshy arillus embracing part of the seed (" fabse — ad unam 
partem hilum gerunt carnosum et rugosum instar bursae"), 
I suspect the Galedupa to be a Copaifera.

Cortex oninius, p. 62. 
Rumphius suspected an affinity between this and the 
Cortex Winter anus {Primis Winteri, Decand. Prodr.i. 7S) ;
