THE HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE. 317 
seeds of the Wrightia adhere closely, forming as it were 
one body, I am still inclined to think that this may be the 
case. I shall therefore give here some account of the 
Wrightia of Dr Roxburgh, as probably belonging to the 
same genus with the Seguaster minor. As another plant, 
however, has been called Wrightia by Mr Brown (Nov. 
Holl. i. 467), this palm should obtain another name. In 
the year 1798, I found it in Chatigang, but only in leaf, 
and sent specimens of these to Sir Joseph Banks. At the 
same time I sent roots to Dr Roxburgh, but it would ap- 
pear that these did not succeed ; and he afterwards pro- 
cured plants from Mr Peirard. The name of this plant, 
as given to the last mentioned gentleman by the Bengalese, 
is Chilpata ; but to me they called it Harina, a name I 
w^ould propose for the genus. The fugitives from Aracan, 
or Rakhain, then in the district of Chatigan, called it 
Mu-zha Ma-tan Raik. I have since found the plant on 
the hills near Goyalpara.
