in. long, dilated suddenly at the tip into a transversely oblong 
appendage, densely coated with brown silky pubescence ; 
lower empty bracts much smaller, with a claw as long as 
the orbicular blade. Flowers white or rose-coloured, 4 in. 
long. Calyx about half as long as the corolla, the segments 
of which cohere to the middle. Stamens free, with filiform 
filaments more than twice as long as the linear-oblong anthers. 
Legume flat, linear-oblong, coriaceous, 4 ft. long, 13 in. broad, 
10-12-seeded, narrowed gradually into a short stalk. 
Hab. Parr's coffee-plautation, Viti Levu, and near streams at 
Bua, Vanua Levu, Horne 1041! This fine genus is new to Poly- 
nesia, but known in America, Asia, and Africa. This a well- 
marked species. 
DoxricnoLtosium Kwoutystt (Horne, ‘A Year in Fiji, p. 260). 
Arborea, glabra, ramulis ancipitibus, stipulis magnis obovatis obtusis 
foliaceis persistentibus, foliis breviter petiolatis magnis oblongis, floribus 
2-3nis racemosis axillaribus magnis albis fragrantibus, ovario cylindrico, 
calycis limbo integro late patelleeformi. 
A small tree, glabrous in all its parts, with the branchlets re- 
markably flattened and acutely 2-angled towards the tip. Stipules 
obovate, obtuse, persistent, subcoriaceous, 1-14 in. long.  Petiole 
stout, 3 in. long; blade oblong, subobtuse, narrowed gradually 
from the middle to the base, 6-9 in. long, 2-3 in. broad at the 
middle, moderately firm in texture, green and glabrous on both 
surfaces, with ascending main veins distinet from midrib to mar- 
gin about 4 in. apart. Flowers 2-3 together in axillary racemes 
with a peduncle about as long as the stipules, large, white, and 
fragrant, according to Mr. Horne's note; but his specimens only 
show the cylindrical ovary in a very immature state, crowned by 
a membranous entire patelleform calyx-limb, which is 4 in. diam. 
at the throat.
