PIPERACEÆ. 
Peperomia pallida, A. Dietr. Supra, p. 259. 
Casimir de Candolle (Prodr. vol. xvi. sect. i. p. 458) separates my n. 565 from this, under the name of 
P. Vitiana, though I convinced him, in our correspondence on the subject, that the characters he relied on 
broke down; and in the last revise shect I finally expunged the name P. Vitiana. P. Oahuensis, Cas, de 
Cand., may also belong to this species as a synonym.
