doubt, but the Hortus Malabaricus without reserve. Why 
he did so, I cannot exactly say. He indeed calls the leaves 
subtus pubescentia," while the Compilers of the Encyclo- 
pedie call them inferne aspera but in this they are com* 
pletely justified by llheede, who says " folia inferne aspera 
et manui tangenti adhaerentia." Both authors, I suspect, 
have fallen into an error, copying from the drawing of 
Rheede, and attributing to the plant " amenta mascula 
pendula." Neither Rheede nor Rumphius mention this 
circumstance, and the appearance in the plate I consider as 
originating in the specimen, from which the drawing was 
taken, having been kept until the parts became somewhat 
flaccid. 
In 1801, I found a tree in Malabar, and the adjacent 
territory, which I have scarcely any doubt is the Ansieli ; 
and I took specimens and a drawing, which in 1806 I gave 
to Sir J. E. Smith, and the following description was taken 
on the spot.
