pelago; shores of India, Malaya, Australia, Mascarene Islands, 
and it has also been recorded from Diego Garcia, Chagos 
Islands.

PASSIFLORES. 
Disemma czrulescens, Seem. Fl. Vit. p. 96, in nota.— Cook. 
This differs very slightly from New-Zealand and Fijian species, 
and a revision of the group would probably result in the reduc- 
tion of some of the forms described as species; therefore I 
forbear giving ita name under Passiflora, of which Disemma is 
now generally regarded as a section. 
Carica Papaya, Linn.—U.S. Expl. Exped. 
Cultivated and naturalized in Polynesia from Fiji to the 
Society and Sandwich Islands.
