THE HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE. 333 
leaves are so bristly that they can scarcely be handled, or 
even touched.

This is evidently an Artocarpus, with entire leaves, 
which, together with the footstalk and fruit, are covered 
with hairs. It may very possibly be the same with the 
Artocarpus Lacucha of Dr Roxburgh (Hort. Beng. 66), a 
tree very generally diffused over India. The account given 
by Rumphius is too imperfect to admit with certainty of 
the plant of Celebes being considered the same with the 
Lacucha ; but he says nothing to contradict this opinion, 
as will appear from the following description of the Lacucha 
taken by me in Ava during the year 1795, from whence I 
sent specimens, now in the collection of the late Sir Joseph 
Banks. 
The tree is called Lacucha in the Sanskrita, Baral in 
the Hindwi, Dephal in the Bengalese, and To Pi-nceh, or 
Wood- Jaca, in the language of Ava.

This also is undoubtedly an Artocarpus ; but 1 have seen 
nothing resembling it.
