Merrill: Bur man’s Flora Indica 
Cornutia corymbosa Burm. f. Premna corymbosa Rottl. & Willd. 
was 'based on Indian material with no reference to Burman’s 
Cornutia corymbosa. H. J. Lam, in his recent treatment of the 
Verbenaceae of the Malay Archipelago, interprets the Linnean 
species as a polymorphous one, reducing to it, among many 
others, Premna foetida Reinw., as well as the common coastal 
form with entirely glabrous leaves. The range is given as from 
Madagascar to tropical Asia, Malaysia, and Polynesia. 
G MELINA Linnaeus 
GM ELINA ASIATICA Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 626. 
Gmelina coromandelica Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 132. “Habitat in 
India utraque.” 
The Coromandel form is doubtless identical with the Linnean 
species, but the reference to Sloane probably represents an en- 
tirely different plant; I have not seen Sloane’s figure. 
CLERODENDRON Linnaeus 
CLERODENDRON CALAMATOSUM Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 90. 
Volkameria alternifolia Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 137, t. JJ. 
Both species were described from Javan material, Burman’s 
clearly being synonymous with the one described by Linnaeus 
one year earlier. Volkameria alternifolia Burm. f. was reduced 
to Clerodendron calamatosum by Linnaeus, Mant. 2 (1771). 
Both descriptions were probably based on material of similar 
origin. 
CLERODENDRON PHLOMOIDES Linn. f. Suppl. (1781) 292. 
Volkameria multiflora Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 137, t. J5, f. 1 , non 
Clerodendron multiflorum G. Don. “Habitat in Java.” 
Burman’s species seems to be identical with that later de- 
scribed by the younger Linnaeus, but his specific name is invalid 
in Clerodendron. 
SOLANACEAE 
SOLAN UM Linnaeus 
SOLANUM SURATTENSE Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 57. 
Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad. & Wendl. Sert. Hanov. 1 : 8, t. 2; C. B. 
Clarke in Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. 4 (1883) 236, cum syn. 
The specimens on which Burman’s description was based were 
from Surat, India, collected by Garcin. The species is unac- 
counted for in Clarke’s treatment of the Solanaceae of British 
India, but the description clearly applies to Solanum xantho- 
carpum Schrad. & Wendl., which Burman’s binomial displaces.
