ТО THE FLORA OF FIJI. 17 
A creeper, with dense masses of small purple flowers. This is one of 
several creepers of similar habit which mat together the undergrowth at the 
edge of coppices and round clearings. 
The specimens collected by Sir Everard belong to Seemann’s var. 8. 
GUTTIFERÆ. 
CALOPHYLLUM VITIENSE, Тит И, sp. п. С. Tacamahaca, Willd., affine, sed 
foliorum nervis lateralibus magis distantibus, pedicellis brevioribus, racemis 
longioribus differt. 
Arbor, ramis teretibus vel subquadrangularibus glabris. Folia lanceolata, 
apice obtusa vel breviter et obtuse acuminata, basi cuneata, usque ad 17 em. 
longa, 5:5 ст. lata, subcoriacea, glabra, integra, nervis lateralibus parallelis 
numerosis 1 mm. inter so distantibus; petioli usque ad 1:5 em. longi. 
Inflorescentia. glabra, terminalis vel axillaris, racemis lateralibus cum pedun- 
culo communi usque ad 10 cm. longis; pedicelli circiter 5 mm. longi ; 
bracteæ minute. Sepala 4, late obovata, 1:5 ет. longa, 1:3 cm. lata 
Petala 4, obovata, 1:5 em. longa, 1 em. lata. Stamina indefinita, filamentis 
ima basi obsolete connatis 3 mm. longis, antheris 1 mm. longis. Ovarium 
ovoideum, 3 mm. altum, 2:5 mm. diametro ; stylus (in floribus hermaphro- 
ditis) 5 mm. longus, stigmate peltato.— C. spectabile, Seem. (Fl. Vit. 
p. 12), non Willd. 
Viti Levu, Seemann, 47; Nandarivatu, at the edge of the forest round 
"the farm," some three miles along the road to Suva, in flower Dec. 2nd, 
1906, im Thurn, 297. 
The native name is “ Damanu dilodilo” (ex Seemann). 
Seemann says that his samples (no. 47) came from a tree not in flower, 
and that Asa Gray identified them with flowering specimens, which he 
considered to be C. spectabile, Willd., obtained by the United States 
Exploring Expedition in Fiji. I have not seen the latter, but Seemann, 
47, is certainly conspecific with im Thurn, 297, and the species is not 
C. spectabile, Willd., which has smaller flowers with no petals, and very 
much smaller, more compact, axillary inflorescences. It is also easily 
distinguished from the widely-spread C. Znophyllum, Linn., by the shape of 
the leaves and the shortly pedicellate flowers.
