Though Hardwicke did not acknowledge him, it was Roxburgh (in litt.) who suggested ‘rotundifolia’ as the specific epithet for this species. There is a specimen in BM that has the same number as the drawing referred to by Britten (1906). There is also a drawing in the British Library set (Vol. IV no. 5) which is presumably the one that Smith had copied for the plate in Exotic Botany ( Smith 1804 –1805: t. 113).
