most other Vitian islands (Seemann! n. 331; Barclay !). Also collected in Tana (Forster!) Norfolk 
Island, and the Sandwich (Barclay! Nelson!) and Tongan Islands (Nelson!). Is found also on the 
east coast of New Holland. 
Choisy refers Forster’s Convolvulus calestis to Pharbitis Nil, but if P. Nil and insularum are distinct, _ 
which I very much doubt, it belongs certainly to the latter. The flowers are blue in the morning, but 
turn purple towards sunset; and they are used by the natives for decorating their persons. -
