This is a pei-fectty ROod and distinct species. Mr. Laweon kowever, 
misled no doubt by Wallich's wrong identification of l^o- 4242 of his 
catalogue as Z. gldbraj Jtoxb., aud in the absence of au authentic speei- 
men of the species, reducod this (iu HoofcerB Flora of Brit. India 1, 636,) 
to a glabrous form of Z. rugosa Lamk., which is a plant with a totally 
different inHoi-escence. The nearest ally of this is undoubtedly' the 
Indian Peninsular species Z. triuervia Roxb., which was published by 
Roxburgh in his Horfus Bengalensis iti 1813 as Z. irhiervinSf and of 
which a foil and excellent description was given as Z, tritiervta in his 
How Itidica I, 600. The synonymy of this species is rather curious, 
and I therefore make a note of it hei'O. Roth described what ia 
nndonbtedly a diffeimt plant in his JV^ow Plantantm Species (pub- 
lished in 1821) as a species of his own nnder the name Z, tnnerviits, 
aud of that plant he describes, as var. ghibratuSf a form to which he 
reduces Z. glahmtm Heyne^ which is unmiatakably the Z, trinermus of 
Roxburgh I X can find no other publication ol Heyne's Z. glahratus than 
this one of Rotli's. Unfortnnalely Mr. Lawson has taken Jieyue's 
name as that of the speoies, although Roxburgh's dates froni l6l3.
