«, major ; foliis majoribus subtus concoloribus.— Woods of 
Rio Grande, and the Uraguay, Tweedie, (m. 749.)—8. 
minor; folis minoribus subtus pallidioribus. Along with «. 
Tweedie (n. 48.)—' These two, with some other varieties, 
mentioned by Mr. Tweedie, chiefly differing in the size 
and more or less coriaceous texture of the leaves, seem to 
abound in the forests of Rio Grande, and are known by 
the name of Canella. The wood is said to be excellent. 
The species must have a very extensive range. We have 
specimens from Trinidad; it is the Rapanea Guianensis of 
Aublet; and it has been found as far south as Monte Video. 
We scarcely see how it is to be distinguished from the M. 
Manglilla of Peru. Again, the Myrsine lanceolata of Wal- 
lich, Cat. n. 2297, from Silhet, very nearly accords with our 
plant; but the flowers seem different: and even the M. 
capitellata of the E. Indies, figured in the Bot. Mag. t. 3222, 
agrees in many points with this, especially in general aspect. 
Our plant has the leaves beautifully dotted beneath.
