donibus ovatis radicula infera parum brevioribus. — Frutices Vitienses ; 

 foliis membranaceis petiolatis recte penninerviis, venulis pulchre reticu- 

 lars ; stipulis interpetiolaxibus membranaceo-foliaceis distinctis obtusis 

 planis plerumque caducis ; pedunculis brevibus ex axillis superioribus 

 tri - paucifloris ; floribus majusculis ; tubo calycis et corollte (albie ?) 

 extus pube appressa indutis. — Genus Cosmihuence affine. 



DoLiCHOLOBiUM OBLONGiFOLiUM {Gray,l. c.) : folus oblougis seu 

 elongato-oblongis utrinque acutiusculis (2J-5 poll, longis) ; flore pen- 

 tamero. — Collected at Sandal-wood Bay, Vanua-levu, one of the 

 Feejee Islands, in fruit, in the Pacific Exploring Expedition ; after- 

 wards, in blossom, by Mr. Milne, which afforded the materials required 

 for characterizing the genus. 



DoLiCHOLOBiUM LATIFOLIUM {Gray, I. c.) : foliis latissime obovatis 

 basi rotundatis vel obtusissimis (o - 7 poll, longis) ; flore tetramero, an 

 semper ? — Ovolau, Feejee Islands. 



Coufarea of Aublet has the aestivation of the corolla imhricative 

 (with the tube somewhat plaited), not induplicate, as stated by End- 

 licher, who thus led Weddell to rank the genus among those with 

 valvular or modified valvular gestivation. Endlicher has omitted to 

 mention that the corolla is curved or unequally ventricose in the bud. 

 In G. Mexicana the flowers are, at least sometimes, pentamerous.

From the South Sea Islands we have three species of Stylocoryne, 

 viz. : — 



Stylocortne sambucina, which must take this name because it 

 is, as I suppose, Forster's Coffea samhucina, although one form of it 

 is certainly Bentham's Stylocoryne pepericarpa. 



Stylocortne coff^oides, which I take for Forster's Goffea odo- 

 rata. It is the Stylocoryne racemosa of Hooker and Arnott in Beech- 

 ey's voyage (from Tahiti), but not, I suppose, of Cavanilles (from 

 Manilla), in which the calyx is described and figured as pretty strongly 

 5-toothed, while in this the limb is truncate and barely denticulate. 



Stylocoryne Harveyi (Gray, I.e.): glaberrima; foliis chartaceis 

 oblongis acuminatis basi in petiolum longiusculum contractis ; cymis 

 axillai-ibus terminalibusque petiolum vix superantibus subsessilibus ; 

 calycis limbo quadrifido, lobis triangulari-subulatis tubo vix brevioribus; 

 coroUoa lobis 4 lineari-oblongis tubo longioribus, fauce imberbi. Aff. 

 priEcedenti. — Feejee Islands, Prof Harvey.
