would seem that the locality cited by Burman as “Java” is an 
error. 
LORANTHACEAE 
VI SCUM Tournefort 
VISCUM ARTICU LATUM Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 211 (err. typ. 311). 
“Habitat in Java.” 
This species, at least in a broad sense, is of very wide distri- 
bution in the Indo-Malayan region. Aspidi,xia articulata Van 
Tiegh. is a synonym. 
AMARANTHACEAE 
CELOSIA Linnaeus 
CELOSIA ARGENTEA Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 205. 
Celosia pyramidalis Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 65, t. 25, f. 1. “Ex Java 
per semina allata * * *.” 
The description and figure refer to but a single species, which 
appears to be Celosia argentea Linn, rather than C. cristata 
Linn.; in Index Kewensis the species is reduced to C. cristata 
Linn, and Allmania albida R. Br. 
AERUA Forskal 
AERUA PERSICA (Burm. f.) comb. nov. 
Iresine persica Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 212 (err. typ. 312), t. 60, f. 1. 
Iresine javanica Burm. f. 1. c. t. 60, f. 2. 
Celosia lanata Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 205, non Aerua lanata Juss. 
Aerua javanica Juss. in Ann. Mus. Paris 11 (1808) 131. 
Iresine persica Burm. f. was based on a Persian specimen and 
I. javanica Burm. f. on one from Java. Both figures and de- 
scriptions apparently are referable to a single species, the former 
species being a more robust form than the latter.

Glinus ononides Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 113, t. 36, f. 2. 
Glinus dictamnoides Burm. f. 1. c. 
The type of Glinus ononides Burm. f. was probably a Javan 
specimen, as Burman cites Pryon as the collector and gives
