of the world; and Chamisso assures us, that, after comparing 
numerous specimens, he has not succeeded in finding any 
real marks of distinction. If the L. thyoides of Blume be the 
same plant, of which we have our doubts, Java must be added 
to the stations already given.

Haz. East Indies. Dr. Wight.—Our specimens of this 
plant are destitute of fructification, and we cannot say whether 
it may not be the Z. thyoides of Blume. It is evidently allied 
to L. complanatum, but the leaves are much longer, subulate, 
and channelled within. At the extremity of the ramuli the 
leaves and stipules are almost exactly similar to each other, 
and quadrifariously imbricated.

Has. Peru. Humboldt.—As we do not possess any.speci- 
men of this plant, we have followed the authority of Kaulfuss, 
who, however, has placed it, by mistake, in his division 
“spicis sessilibus.”

Has, Peru. Henke. Jamaica. Dr. Bancroft — According 
to Presl, this is nearly allied to L. Jussiei, but differs in its 
rounded stem, ovato-oblong acute leaves, patulous stipules, 
and reflexo- patent denticulated scales. Our Eg 
(without fructification) from Jamaica, agrees m all respects
