very near to C. Benthamiana, Miq., ‘ Linnæa, vol. xviii. p.737, and 
C. lanceolata, Miq., l. c., p. 753 (two species scarcely distinct from 
each other, if my specimens are correctly determined), but differs from 
them chiefly in the leaves being hoary underneath. The plant described 
by Miquel in the ‘ Annales des Sciences Naturelles” (Ser. 3, vol. i. 
p- 38), inadvertently under the same name of C. Benthamiana, appears 
to be a very different species, belonging to the section Crateria.

4. Casearia (Piparea) Javitensis, Humb. et Kunth; a species very 
generally diffused over Columbia, Guiana, and North Brazil Two = 
specimens separately gathered in the forest near the Tapajoz, differ 
slightly in their nearly sessile flowers, but are probably not specifically 
distinct.
