COMMENTARY ON 
place; and that the plate representing this Jambosa is 
given in vol. ii. tab. 40 ; while the 40th plate of this first 
volume represents the Radix Deiparae spuria, described in 
vol. ii. p. 127. After this we can only account for the 
Jambosa silvestris parvifolia being quoted for the Gme- 
lina Jsiatica in Willdenow (Sp. PI. iii. 313), by supposing, 
that he looked merely at the drawing, without reading the 
description. The Compilers of the Encyclopedic (ii. 739) 
noticed the discrepancy between the description and figure 
prefixed, but do not seem to have consulted the Actuarium, 
so as to refer the figures to their proper places. I have 
no doubt of the Jambosa silvestris parvifolia being an 
Eugenia, and cannot see any resemblance between it and 
the Blatti of the Hortus Malabaricus (iii. t. 40), or Sone- 
ratia acida, with which Burman in his observation com- 
pares^ it.

When in the north-west parts of Mysore, in the cool 
moist woods bordering on the lower sea-coast, I observed 
a tree which seemed to have a great resemblance to this 
plant of Rumphius ; only, from not having seen the fruit, 
I remain doubtful. I shall, however, describe what I saw, 
of which Sir J. E. Smith has the specimens that I brought 
home in 1806.
