On thefe drawings I muft obferve, that his draw- 
ing of the Cinnamon of Ceylon agrees with no one 
1 pec i men in the Britifh IVlufeum ; and fcarcely is 
one leaf to be found of the fhape, which he gives. 
The firfl figure, which I (hall produce, is a draw- 
ing which I procured from the ingenious Mr. Ehret 
in .the year 1754: which, as I am informed by Mr. 
Empfon, was from a fpecimen, given to Mr. Ehret 
bv him in that year, of the Cinnamon of Ceylon. 
See Fig. 1. 
This agrees in every thing with the drawing of the 
Cinnamon of Malabar in the Hort . Malab. fig. 54, 
fol. 107. and there called Carua ; except that it 
wants the fruit : but that defeCt is fupplied by Mr. 
Ray’s defcription of the Cinnamon of Ceylon above 
mentioned. See Jig. oj' the jruit , Fig. 2. 
In the figure in the Hort. Malabar, it may be ob- 
ferved, that the nerves do not go quite to the bot- 
tom of the leaf. But this is merely accidental, as 
will appear by the leaves of the fame plant brought 
from Sumatra, which I fliall produce ; in which, part 
of the leaves have veins going quite to the bottom, 
and united there, and the others not fo. See Fig. 3. 
The next drawing I fhall produce contains that 
of the leaves of the Cinnamon plant, from fpeci- 
mens in the Britifh Mufeum. 
Fig. 4. A ipecimen, with the flower, from the 
collection of Mr. Courteen, who lived long in 
Ceylon. Thele leaves were more pointed, but 
were broke at the end. 
Fig. y. A whole leaf, with its point, in the fame 
collection, growing on a branch, on which are 
the rudiments of the fruit.
