The hermaphrodite plant represented in Plate XXXIV. has the stamens always included in the tube 
of the perlgonium, and might on that accouut be classed with Neea as weU as with Pisonia ; at aU events it 
shows that the genus Keea ia not tenable, since, as Choisy informs us (De Cand. Prodr. voL xiii. p. 447), 
" Genus (Neea) ad Pisoniam propius accedens, staminibus inclusis tantum separandum," and must there- 
fore be united with Pisonia. 
Plate XXXIV. Pig. 1, 2, perigonia ; 3, perigonium cut open ; 4, stamens and pistil ; 5, ovary cut 
open, and style : — all magnified. 
856. EoERHAAViA paniculata, Rich., De Cand. Prodr. vol. xiii. p. 450. In waste places, on

Most httoral plants found in the "West Indies, such as Conocarpus erecta, Hibiscus tiliaceits, Orescentia 
cucurbitina, etc., are also met with on the shores of the Pacific Ocean ; but C. uvifera does not seem to have 
crossed the Isthmus, although it grows at Chagres. All the specimens I have seen were collected on the 
coast of the Atlantic, viz. Jamaica (Seemann), Cuba (Mason), St. Vincent (Guilding), Barbadoes (See- 
mann), Bahamas (Herb. Hook.), La Guayara (Moritz), and Cayenne (Martin).
