Von der Gattung Chasalia sind bis jetzt zwei Arten für den Ma- 
laiischen Archipel beschrieben, von denen eine jedoch besser zu Psycho- 
¿tria gestellt wird, Psychotria rostrata Bl. Die übrigen etwa 10 Arten 
bewohnen Afrika und die Mascarenen. Das einzige wichtige Merkmal, 
welches Chasalia von Psychotria unterscheidet, findet sich in dem Samen, 
welcher, wie bei Ixora, an der Bauchseite tief-konkav ist und also den 
Steinkern nicht ganz ausfüllt, während bei Psychotria der Samen immer 
an der Steinwand genau anschliesst, Die oben beschriebene Art könnte 
also nach der Frucht auch zu Ixora gehören. Der ganze Habitus ist 
aber viel mehr dem von Chasulia curviflora Thw. ähnlich.

: 4. Argata, Greene, Fl. Fr. 310; Man. Bay. Reg. 6, not Nutt. This 
Actaea of the California Coast Range, and which in the north passes 
over to the Sierra Nevada, is very distinct from A. arguta, not only 
by its rhombic-ovate acute petals (commonly 3 or 4), but by its pecu- 
liarly broad and almost obtuse leaflets, which are also not much incised. 
They are, indeed, abruptly acute, but as to general outline, quite rounded 
at both ends. In this species the stems are often several from the 
same root,

Stems solitary, slender, 1 to 2 feet high from a not deeply seated 
rounded tuberiform small root, or from a small condensed cluster of 
several such; the whole plant sparsely leafy and with one or more short 
and very lax few-flowered racemes; lower part of stem somewhat 
retrorsely villous-hirsute with white hairs, this indument more sparse 
and not retrorse as continued up to the summit of the petioles, the 
leafblades more pubescent with somewhat appressed short hairs: sepals 
rather narrow, deep-blue; petals white; spur long and straight, acuminate: 
follicles short and stout, moderately divergent, appressed-pubescent even 
in maturity.
