PoUia cyanococca (F. M. Fragm, v, 40 ; Aneileuia macrophyl- 

 lum, R. Br. Pr. 270 ; A. crispatum, R. Br. L c.) nascltur in Nova 

 Anglia, C. St. ; ad flumen nastiufrs-River, Beckler ; Clareuce- 

 River, \yiIcox ; Moroton-Bay, ¥, M. ; Rockhampton, Bowman ; 

 Mount Elliot, Dailachy ; Mount Dryander, Fitisahrn ; Rocking- 

 ham's Bay, Dallachy. Planta interdum quadripedalis, adspectu 

 scitauiineo. Folia 4-8" longa, 1-2" lata ; os petiolorum laxe va- 

 vinaafium aut crispatum aut plicis orbatum, Panicula thyrsiformis, 

 interdum ad brevitatem pollicis reducta et paucidora, interdum ad 

 semipedem elongata et divitiflora. Sepala interiora purpurascentia 

 V. alba. Filamenta omnia glabra. Antherai fertiles tres, sive ob- 

 longa3 sive ovatje, dilutius flavse quam steiiles. Fructus maturi 

 nutantes. Pericarpium pertenue, irregulariter frangens. Septa 

 in axim tripferam placentarunn, abs qua perlcarpium defrangit, 

 permanenter connata, qui character cardiualis ia genere toto. 

 Semina in loculis biseriata, 5-9 in quovis, vix \"' longa, fere 

 rotunda, depressa, paulo angulata, Itevia, ex albido ccerulesceutia 

 V, ^tate squaiide cyanea. Ab hac specie facile separabis Polliam 

 subumbellatam propter folia breviora, pro lougitudlne latiura, 

 subito acurainata, propter petiolos ante partem vaginantem angus- 

 tiores et longiores, propter fructus saturatius cyaneos et denique 

 semina mnjora impressc-punctata. Flores pro comparatione desunt. 



Pollia glauca ample distat. 



Characfer genericus Pollia? in structura fructus solum restat, 

 nec in natura staminum, uti jam excellens scrutator C. B. Clarke 

 indicabat ; nam stamina Pollice JaponiciE modo omnia modo 3-5
