peduneled, about as long as the leaves; pedicels ascending, à-1 
in.or morelong. Calyx lin. long and broad, with a campanu- 
late tube and 5 semiorbicular segments. Corolla not present in 
the specimens. Follieles oblique ovoid, glabrous, spreading hori- 
zontally, 3 in. long, and 3 in. diam. 
Hab. “ Common in rich damp soil on waste land, as well as in 
the forests throughout Fiji. When wounded a thin milk-white 
juice exudes, which yields a small quantity of caoutchouc.” Horne

to the colony at the time of Mr. Horne's visit.

is evidently identical with H. bicarinata, A. Gray, in Proc. Amer.

tral. iv. 346) conspecific with H. australis, R. Br. 
SoLANUM SeEEDII (Horne, ‘A Year in Fiji, p. 268). 
Fruticosum, pilis hispidis patulis brunneis gracilibus dense vestitum, 
ramulis validis inermibus, foliis longe petiolatis oblongis magnis repandis, 
cymis sessilibus paucifloris, pedicellis brevibus, calycis tubo brevi, segmen- 
tis deltoideis, fructibus magnis globosis dense pilosis. 
A shrub, about 4 feet high, with stout unprickly stems, densely
