two lists bear the same signature, “ Bt. Aleman.” They 
were originally in the Record Office. 
The lists give the native names of the seeds sent. In 
general, these names are in use at the present day, and the 
lists therefore are of interest, in that they provide evidence of 
the persistence of certain names, though we have, of course, 
no evidence that they now designate the same plant as they 
did 150 years ago, except in the case of those plants which 
were collected by Hermann. They are reproduced below, 
with the addition of the modern form of the name and the 
scientific name of the plant now known by that name. The 
inclusion of the modern form of the name in brackets indicates 
that such is the probable spelling, but no record of any plant 
bearing that name has been found. When both the modern 
força of the name and the scientific name are enclosed, the 
identification has been recorded, but has not been verified by 
any botanist, as far as has been ascertained. The remaining 
identifications are taken from Trimen’s “ Handbook to the 
Flora of Ceylon.” 
The spelling is fairly consistent : oe = u and ie = i, unless 
the e bears a diseresis, when ie = iya. G = h, or may = k.
