CEYLON SEED LISTS. 
303 
Notes on List No. 2. 
2. Hille bebile. — Probably Ela bevila, but that name is not 
on record. Bevila is a generic term for Sida. 
3. Pienne. — See List 1, No. 7. 
4. Wal undu. — Hermann (Mus. Zeyl., p. 67) recorded 
Walundughaha, “ Est arbor trifoliata,” but his specimen was 
not seen by Linnæus. Walundu was given by Moon for 
Flemingia alata, now Flemingia congesta, var. alata, but the 
name has not been recorded since. 
24. Patta billi. — An alternative is Patta walla, Gyrinops 
Walla. Compare the use of Beligam for Weligama . 
25. Lunu. — This is a general term, with prefixes, for onions, 
garlic, &c., but that can scarcely be the correct interpretation 
in this case. Hermann (Mus. Zeyl., p. 61) has “ Wallunu, 
Lunala, Luna. Narcissus zeylanicus flore albo hexagono 
major bulbo rotundo.” This is Pancratium zeylanicum L., 
Wal-lun,u. 
26. Wal tembili. — Tembili is one of the names of the 
coconut, and Tembiliya is Eugenia bracteata Roxb. Wal 
tembili has not been recorded. 
31. Itte Siemhela. — Siyambala is Tamarindus indica. Et 
= great. Et-siyambala is not known. 
33. Hie wal tore: — The first syllable probably represents 
Si or Gi. Compare No. 59. Tora is a general name for 
Cassia spp. 
35. Hamparendael. — This is usually written Hamaparanda, 
but Thwaites, Enumeratio, p. 273, has Hamparandella. 
37. See List 1, No. 35. 
46. Kiri JcoeraJcan. — Kurakkan is Eleusine Coracana ; 
kiri = milk. The combination Kiri kurakkan is given by 
Moon. 
55. Ikiri. — This appears in old lists without a -prefix. 
Katu-ikiri is Hygrophila spinosa And. ; the usual name for 
Barter ia Prionitis is Katu-karandu. 
59. Hie walda. — Compare No. 33. Ha may be Han, 
Eugenia sp., or Ardisia. 
66. Gærtner noted that in the Leyden collection several 
different kinds of Ceylon seeds were labelled Hondala. 
71. Koen koeroe. — Hermann (Mus. Zeyl., p. 57) has “Kon- 
ghuru. Kine major. Hæc arbor fert fructus magnitudine 
nucis Juglandis nucleo valde oleoso. Nux zeylanica oleosa 
major ” ; it is not included in Flora Zeylanica. Or may 
Kunkuru be an error for Kumburu, Cæsalpinia Bonduc Roxb.? 
7 3 . Boerenda. — Moon stated that Booraenda = Gooraenda . 
The seeds which Gærtner had under the name Burende were 
Clerodendron inerme, now known as Wal Gurenda.
