MrnTACEEX. 
97 a. Psidium pomiferum, L. Though doubtless introduced, the 
Guava appears to be now indigenous iu the Cape de Verd islands. 
According to Brunner, the plant has become perfectly wild on the 
hills of the island of Santiago. It has been furnished abundantly by 
M. Bocandé. 
UMBELLIFERÆ. 
98. Tornabenea insularis, Parl. ; Tetrapleura, Parl. olim in Spic. 
Gorg. Mr. Bentham having already described a Leguminous plant of 
the groupe Mimoseæ, under the name of Tetrapleura (see Flora Nigrit. 
p. 330), I am happy in having the opportunity of dedicating this 
genus to a distinguished Sicilian botanist—Father F. Tornabene—of 
the order of Saint Benediet, Professor of Botany in the University of 
Catania, who has published several interesting works on various 
botanical subjects, and greatly aided in the elucidation of the flora of 
Sieily.— Filippo Parlatore. -

cimen of this species occurs in our collection. 
' 102 a. Canthium anonefolium, Nob. This species, which appears 
to be undescribed, is, probably, a native of the neighbouring continent, 
_ but we have not seen it in any collection.*
