fauce glabra v. barbata, limbi 5-fidi v. rarius 4-fidi lobis patentibus v. recurvis, sestivatione valvatis. 
Stamina 4—5, coroll: tubo inserta, inclusa v. rarius subexserta; filamenta filiformia, brevia; antherz 
lineares, incumbentes. Ovarium 2-loculare, disco epigyno carnoso pulviniformi. Ovula in loculis

spermis. Semina erecta, cavitati conformia. Embryo brevis, in basi albuminis cartilaginei ortho-

herb: perennes; foliis oppositis, petiolatis, stipulis varie connexis, pedunculis rarius axillaribus, ple- 
rumque terminalibus, floribus paniculatis v. corymbosis.—Psychotrophum, P. Browne, Jam. 160. 
Myrtiphyllum, P. Browne, Jam. 152. 
Besides the Psychotrie enumerated below, we have in tropical Polynesia P. elosterocarpa, A. Gray, ` 
from the Samoan Islands; P. insularum, A. Gray, from the Samoan and Tongan Islands; P. apodantha, A. — 
Gray, from the Samoan Islands; P. speciosa, Forst., from the Society Islands, and several other species, of 
which the materials are not sufficient for accurate determination. P. speciosa, Forst. Prodr. n. 89. et Icon. 
(ined.) t. 50, (Cephaélis speciosa, Spreng. Syst. vol. 1 p. 749,) is a very distinct species, probably a new 
genus, of which, however, the materials existing at the British Museum are insufficient for closer investi- 
gation, and I have not seen it in any other herbarium. 
1. P. sulphurea, (sp. nov.) Seem. ; decumbens; ramis sarmentosis cymisque rufo velutino-pube- 
rulis; foliis ovalibus utrinque acutis, venis primariis 10-12-jugis; cymis compositis oo-floris; co-
