MYRTACER. 4138 
38. Eugenia, sp. 
Panama, Bujio railway-station (S. Hayes, 400), in shady woods around the town of 
San Juan (Seemann, 476). Hb. Kew. 
Most likely a considerable proportion of these unnamed specimens belong to described 
species. 
10. MITRANTHES. 
Mitranthes, Berg, Linnea, xxvii. p. 316; Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. i. p. 717, where it is united 
with Calyptranthes. 
Eight American species are described. 
1. Mitranthes sartoriana, Berg in Linnea, xxix. p. 248. 
Sourn Mexico, Mirador (Sartorius). 
Tribe LECYTHIDEA. 
This tribe is principally Tropical American, and the true Lecythidacee (considered 
by some botanists a distinct natural order) exclusively so. Miers has recently 
monographed them (Trans. Linn. Soc. vol. xxx.), dividing them into twelve genera and 
183 species. 
11. GUSTAVIA. 
Gustavia, Linn. Amen. Acad. viii. p. 266; Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. i. p. 721; Miers in Trans. 
Linn. Soc. xxx. p. 175. 
Bentham and Hooker estimate the number of species at eleven; Miers describes 
twenty-one. 
1. Gustavia angustifolia, Benth. Bot. Voy. Sulph. p. 99. 
Panama, forming entire woods in the central districts (Seemann). Hb. Kew. 
2. Gustavia latifolia, Miers in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx. p. 182. 
Gustavia speciosa, Benth. nec DC. . 
Pirigara speciosa, Kth. 
Panama, near the city of Panama (Seemann).—Gutana and N. Brazit. Hb. Kew. 
3, Gustavia superba, Berg in Linnea, xxvii. p. 444. 
Gustavia insignis, Bot. Mag. t. 5069. 
Pirigara insignis, Kth. 
Panama (Seemann, 579).—Cotomsia, Ecvapor. Hb. Kew. 
Var. salvinie, Hemsley. (Tab. XXII.) 
Foliis petiolatis vix membranaceis usque ad 4-6 ped. longis et 1 latis, petalis angustioribus. 
Panama, Obispo station (Salvin). Hb. Kew. 
This may prove to be a distinct species ; but the material in herbaria is insufficient 
to determine this point.
