There must have been some mistake on the part of Mr. Aiton, when lie
communicated this fine plant to Dr. Hooker as a native of Trinidad. The
Nipalese specimens in Dr. Wallich's possession are indeed imperfect, but
I have been permitted to examine a drawing in the possession of the East
India Company, which supplies all deficiencies in the specimens, and
which agrees entirely with the figure in the Botanical Magazine. I could
not adopt Dr. Hooker's name without perpetuating an error, and that of
Dr. Wallich is preoccupied by Dr. Blume 5 this will I trust be considered
a satisfactory explanation of a new specific name having been applied.
