Storck’s specimens are in fruit only, showing the persistent female flowers, which are 5-merous. I 
should call the leaves 1-foliolate rather than simple, there being a distinct articulation. 
The allied Soulamea amara, Lam. Dict. vol. i. p. 449; Endl. Ann. Wien. Mus. 1836, t. 16 (Cardophora. 
Hindsii, Benth. in Hook. Lond. Journ. vol. ii. p. 216), has not been collected in the Viti group, as stated 
in Bentham and Hooler’s Genera; Barclay (n. 3542) found it in New Ireland, as correctly stated by 
Bentham in the Journal quoted. 
Suriana maritima, Linn. Spee. 284, has not yet been found in Viti, but it may be expected to occur, 
having been gathered in the Tongan (Harvey!) and Society Islands (Lay and Collie!) ; also in several small 
islands off New Caledonia (Forster! W. Anderson! Milne!), in the Dangerous Archipelago (Barclay !), 
and at Point Look-Out, East Australia (J. Banks !).
