i Oss.g.Iiy our prodromus Dr,.Arn‘ptt and I viewed this
as only a small fruited variety of Syz. Jambolanum,to this
opinion I am still disposed to adhere, but having an opportunity

, This is the {lant alluded to (111. Ind. Bot. 2. p. 17)
under E ntbens I had not when that was printed seen,
either aspecimen or figure of Roxburgh’s plant. A
comparison of my plant with his; figure shows them different
though nearly allied species. My plant has 8 petals
but 1 am unable to say whether they all expand or
partially fall off as a lid. This can only be ascertained
’ by a careful examination of recent flowering specimens.
