A shrub, about 10 feet bigb; leaves from 4 to 5 iuchcs long, and from 1^ to 2 iaclies broad; racemes 
about 1| long ; calyx witb four sepals ; sepals oblong, obtuse. — This species seems to be intermediate be- 
tween a. nitida, Hellen., and S, raeemosa, Sieb. et Zucc., having the foliage of the former and the inflo- 
rescence of the latter; but its chief peculiaritj consists in bearing hermaphrodite flowers, and having three 
stigmas. 
VIOLACE^. 
27. Tetrathylacium macrophyUum, Poepp., Nov. Gen. et Sp. vol. iii. p. 34. t. 240. — Edmoiistouia 
Pacifica, Seem., supra, p. 98. t. 18 1 
The plant to which I gave the name of Edmonstonia has already been described by Pccppig, who, judg- 
ing from more perfect materials than those at my disposal, places it among Tiolacecs, close to Alsodeia. It 
will be observed that the organs I considered as bracts and calyx, Poeppig looks upon as calyx and corolla. 
There are however several discrepancies between Popppig's and my illustration ; some of which may be easily 
reconciled, Po-ppig's specimens having been old, mine very young ones; but there are others, such as the 
number of placentae, etc., which, in the absence of better specimens than those I at present possess, it is 
impossible to reconcile. I can only state that both my figure and description are as faithful as from the 
material accessible they could be made. 
TEKNSTRCEMIACE^. 
+ 
94. Saurauja Veraguasemis , Seem. — S. montana, Seem., supra, p. 87. t. 16 ! 
This change of names became necessary, as the name montana had already been given to a Javc plant 
of the same genus.

UUBIACE^. 
I have mentioned that Pentagonia is the only Eubiaccous genus with pmnatifid leaves ; and I may add 
that there is an East Indian plant (Carlemannia Orijithii, Benth., in Hooter's Journ. of Bot. and Kew 
Misc., vol. V. p. 308) to which Mr. Bentham has drawn my attention, and which has serrated leaves, so 
that we can no longer say that all Buhiacece have entire leaves, since three plants {Pentagonia Tinajita, 
P. pinnatijida, and Carlemannia GriJitJiii) form exceptions.
