(1.) Cornidia integerrima (Hook. et Arn.); foliis subro- 
tundo-ellipticis glabris vix basi apiceque acutis, corymbis 
plurimis in racemum terminalem folia multoties superan- 
tem dispositis—Hydrangea scandens, Poepp.? in De 
Cand. Prod. v. 4. p. 666.— Valparaiso, Cuming ( N.398.) 
Near Bustamante, Bridges, 1832 (N. 532.)—If DeCan- 
dolle and Poeppig be correct in their description, and we 
be correct in our reference, then this plant has a scandent 
stem, of which, however, no appearance exists in our 
specimens.—It is remarkable that neither DeCandolle 
nor Pres| were aware that their well-characterised 
Sarcostylis Peruviana was identical with Cornidia um- 
 bellata of the Flore Peruviane Prodr. (and v. 4. t. 335. 
ined.) ; and it is readily recognised from our two new ones. 
by the solitary terminal corymb which is scarcely so 
long as the leaves. 
(2.) Cornidia serratifolia (Hook. et Arn.); foliis ipia, 
oblongis acutis basi obtusis sursum serratis, in ramos 
florales minoribus ovatis rariter denticulatis, corymbis 
plurimis in racemum terminalem folia superantem dis- 
positis.—Chiloe, Cuming (N. 34.)— Closely allied to 
the last species, but apparently distinct. Both, but 
especially the present one, have several decussate, patent, 
rigid, concave bracteze along the stalks of the corymbs, 
in addition to the large deciduous petaloid ones at the 
base of the corymb itself.
