ceis subvaginatis ; floribus capitato-congestis, capitulis bracteis latissi- 

 mis membranaceis inciso-lobatis involucratis ad apicem caulis cymoso- 

 glomeratis. 



Calycosia petiolata ( Gray, I. c.) : foliis obovatis seu obovato- 

 lanceolatis in petiolum attenuatis ; calyce breviter 5-lobo, lobis oblongis ; 

 pyrenis dorso baud costatis. — Feejee Islands. 



Calycosia sessilis {Gray, I.e.): foliis spathulato-lanceolatis basi 

 sensim angustatis sessilibus ; floribus arete capitato-eongestis ; ealyce 

 ultra medium 5-fido, lobis linearibus ; pyrenis dorso tricarinatis. — 

 Savai, one of the Samoan Islands. 



The genus is well distinguished from PsycJiotria or Cephaelis by the 

 remarkably large, funnel-form, and deciduous limb of the calyx. 



G. Goprosma. 



Of this peculiarly South Sea genus we have six new species from 

 the Northern hemisphere, — namely, from the Sandwich Islands. All 

 but one of them, however, have lain long in herbaria. The two most 

 remarkable species, G. rhynchocarpa and G. ernodeoides, were gath- 

 ered, one of them by Nelson, in Cook's last voyage, the other, as well 

 as G. Menziesii, by Menzies, in Vancouver's voyage. We have also a 

 species from Tahiti, and another from the Feejee Islands. 



CopROSMA RHYNCHOCARPA {Gray ill Expl. Exped. ined.) : fruti- 

 cosa, fere glabra ; stipulis triangulari-acuminatis basi connatis ; foliis 

 chartaceis oblongis seu lanceolato-oblongis acutis basi in petiolum gra- 

 cilem attenuatis ; pedunculis paucifloris j^edicellisve brevissimis ; fl. 

 masc. calyce subintegro tubo corolla? 6 - 7-fidte breviore, il. focm. 

 5 - 6-mero, calycis tubo ultra ovarium globosum longissime producto 

 (limbo cupulari breviter 5 - 6-dentato) super drupam rostri instar 

 persistente. — Hawaii, Sandwich Islands : gathered also by Nelson, 

 Macrae, and Gaudichaud. — Most remarkable for the beak of the fruit, 

 from li to 3 lines long, and forming as it were a stipe to the small, 

 abruptly dilated limb of the calyx persistent on its summit. 



CoPROSMA LONGIFOLIA ( Gray, I. c.) : glaberrima, fruticosa ; stipu- 

 lis in vaginam oblongam coalitis e basi circumscissa caducis ; foliis sub- 

 coriaceis nitidulis lanceolatis utrinque acutis sublonge petiolatis ; pedun- 

 culis fructiferis petiolo brevioribus capitato-plurifloris ; drupa ovoidea 

 calycis limbo bi'evi 5 - 7-dentato apiculato. — Oahu, Sandwich Islands : 

 also gathered by Gaudichaud. 



CopROSMA FOLiosA ( Gray, I. c.) : fruticosa, glabra ; stipulis trian-
