There is probably more than one species included in the above 
enumeration ; and in the herbarium of Dr. Lindley there is a 
specimen from Malacca, collected by Griffiths, with thicker and 
more velvety leaves, with short axillary ? panicles, and a putamen 
with three concentric rows of very short acute spines, different 
from the type. The specimens from Java are perhaps specihcally 
distinct, but I have included them here, as well as another from 
Borneo. The authors of the ‘ Flora Indica ’ have absorbed in 
this (the only species they acknowledge in the genus), and Mr. 
Bentham has done the same in his ‘ Flora Australiensis,’ i. 58, 
a plant from Australia which is extremely different, not only in a 
specific but in a generic point of view : it is the Cocculus Moorii 
of Dr. Mueller, which I have elsewhere described as the type of 
a distinct genus, under the name of Legnophora. 
The leaves in this species vary much in size and shape : some 
are nearly orbicular, cordate at base, or they become more acute
