wrong in considering this as the same with the Kedangu 
of the Hortus Malabaricus (vi. 49, t. 27), which has flowers 
not larger than those of the bean (Faba). 
Turia rubra, p. 189. 
This is probably a mere variety, such as usually takes 
place in plants that are much cultivated. At one time I 
thought that it might be the ^schynomene, or Coronilla 
cocclnea (Willd. Sp. PL iii. 1146) ; but that being the Toeri 
mera of Rumphius, is a sufficiently distinct species, which 
I have never seen. I suspect that in reality Willdenow 
fell into a similar error, as he says, " simillima prsecedenti 
(Coronillse grandiflorse). Flores ejusdem magnitudinis sed 
rubri but Rumphius, treating of the Toeri mera, says, 
e rachidis ala petiolus excrescit in binos sese dividens 
minores, quorum quisque ingentem gerit florem paulo rai- 
iiorem quam prsecedentis, id est C. grandiflorse." 
Turia striata, p. 189. 
This is probably another variety of the same elegant tree, 
with variegated flowers, not very common in India. 
Toeri mera, p. 1 90, f. 77. 
In treating of the Turia rubra, I have noticed this plant, 
which, by Forskal and the younger Linnseus, was called 
iEschynomene coccinea. Burman in his annotation is to- 
tally wrong in considering this as the same with his Emerus 
6'iliquis geminatis longissimis (Thes. Zeyl. 93, t. 41), 
which, I have little doubt, is the same with the Kedangu 
.of the Hortus Malabaricus, and has not scarlet flowers.
