COMMENTAllY ON 
Caput XXVII. 
Soccus lanosus, p. 110, t. 32. 
Willdenow (Sp. PI. iv. 188) calls this Artocarpus incisa 
0, considering it as a cultivated variety of the following 
plant ; and in the Encyclopedic both are quoted, without 
distinction, for the Artocarpus incisa (iii. 207), while the 
Soccus sylvestris is considered the variety ^ : but these 
suppositions seem to me devoid of foundation, and I agree 
with Humphius in considering the three species distinct. 
This is distinguished by its smooth leaves ; and Humphius 
enumerates several different kinds, some of which are spon- 
taneous, but still different from the Soccus sylvestris or 
Soccus gi'anosus. These kinds are, however, I think, to 
be considered as varieties, arising as usual from cultivation. 
See Sookoon, under the head Choopada (Suppl. v. 619) in 
the Encyclopedic. 
Caput XXVIII. 
Soccus granosus, p. 11% t. 33. 
This, as mentioned in the Commentary on the foregoing 
plant, is the Artocarpus incisa of Willdenow (Sp. PI. 
iv. 188), from which it may readily be distinguished by 
having its leaves scabrous above, and woolly beneath. Of 
this also Rumphius enumerates both cultivated and spon- 
taneous varieties, — a proof of its being a species really dis- 
tinct from the preceding. 
Caput XXIX. 
Soccus sylvestris, p. 114, t. 33. 
The Compilers of the Encyclopedic (iii. S08) call this 
Artocarpus incisa /3; but they suspect that it may be a 
distinct species, in which I entirely agree with them. Its
