Merrill: Burman’s Flora Indica 
347 
Weddell reduced Burman’s species to Boehmeria platyphylla 
D. Don. var. scabrella Wedd. in DC. Prodr. 16 1 (1859) 311, and 
it is clearly a form of Don’s species. 
BOEHMERIA NIVEA (Linn.) Gaudich. Bot. Freyc. Voy. (1826) 499. 
Urtica nivea Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 985. 
Urtica candicans Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 197 (err. typ. 297). “Hab- 
itat in Java.” 
This is clearly a synonym of Boehmeria nivea (Linn.) Gaudich., 
placed by Weddel as the variety candicans Wedd. of the above 
species. 
POUZOLZIA Gaudichaud 
POUZOLZIA ZEYLANICA (Linn.) Benn. PI. Jav. Rar. (1838) 67. 
Parietaria zeylanica Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 1052. 
Parietaria indica Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 128. 
Parietaria indica Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 211. “Habitat in Java.” 
Pouzolzia indica Gaudich. Bot. Freyc. Voy. (1826) 503. 
It is suspected that both the Linnean and the Burman Pa- 
rietaria indica were based on material of similar origin. The 
species is synonymous with the earlier Parietaria zeylanica 
Linn .=PouzoIzia zeylanica (Linn.) Benn. 
DEBREGEASI A Gaudichaud 
DEBREGEASI A LONGI FOLIA (Burm. f.) Wedd. in DC. Prodr. 16 1 (1869) 
235 
Urtica longifolia Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 197 (err. typ. 297). “Hab- 
itat in Java.” 
This is the basis of Debregeasia longifolia (Burm. f.) Wedd., 
a well-known species of wide distribution on the mountains of 
the Indo-Malayan region. The Philippine Debregeasia angus- 
tifolia C. B. Rob. does not appear to be distinct from the Javan 
form, although dilfering slightly from Indian material. 
PROTEACEAE 
SYNAPHEA R. Brown 
SYNAPHEA SPINULOSA (Burm. f.) Merr. in Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. 
44= (1919) 354. 
Polypodium spinulosum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 233, t. 67, f. 1. 
Synaphea polymorpha R. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. 10 (1810) 156. 
From the excellent figure this is manifestly the proteaceous 
Synaphea polymorpha R. Br., of western Australia, this involv- 
ing the acceptance of Burman’s specific name. The figure is 
excellently matched by Australian specimens before me. It
