Mters, John.— On the History of the * Mate' Plant, and the clifFerent 

 species of Ilex employed in the Preparation of the ' Yerba de 

 Mate,' or Paraguay Tea. A. N. H. 3. Ser. viii. 219, 389. 



Mr. Miers points out that several species are theiniferous, 

 and furnish Mate tea. The Ilex Paragimyensis described by 

 Eeissek in Martius' ' Flora Brasiliensis ' is not the plant of St. 

 Hilaire, but made up of two species, discriminated by Bonpland, 

 and published by Mr. Miers under his M. S. names. Several 

 other Mate Ilices are described.

An enumeration of species, including novelties collected by 

 M. Teysmann. Eeferring to the important differences subsisting 

 between the Flora of Sumatra and that of Java, and the relations 

 between the former and that of the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, 

 Celebes, and the Moluccas, Prof. Miquel observes that species 

 and genera of Palmaceae are found in Sumatra which have not 

 yet been discovered in Java (Bentinchia, Iguanura, Calyptrocalyx, 

 Pholidocarpus, Teysmannia), while some of them are represented 

 at Malacca and in the Moluccas.
