distinct and both of Indkn origS', referring lx . alba to

speeites dearly allied to I coccinia and confounded with
that species, by some writers. Whether we are
col reel, is a point to be determined, but in .justice to
Roxburgly.I; have thought it right to adduce his Own
evidence in support of his'opmion by the publication o f
