2 • Merrill says (Ref.N) that Loureiro' s description ”.vas based on 
plants os served by him near •Malacca,.,.", There io no evidence for* 
this unless the label on Loureiro’s specimen has ’'Malacca** written on ic 
(see quest.. ). It the specimen is from ha luce , then, it it 
the Jack-fruit or the Cfteirpedak, probably t ie latter, out it may ae

Thus far, Loureiro und oubteoly describes the malayan Cheopedak , as 
copied from R u m phi.ua.

to be divided into:-

which we are not bound to take as the type. 
a. It seems advisable to reserve the name P. cha ir-ped en for the main /an 
Chexnpedak, on account of its we' 1 1-Known vernacular name throughout the 
Malayan Archipelago, and to exclude from it the Cochinch inn w cies.
