OF AKTS AND SCIENCES : OCTOBER 14, 1862. 43 



pedunculato demum lateral! ; floribus extus toraentosis ; calycis lobis 

 ovatis obtusis corolla 5-fida plicata triplo breviori ; antheris apice at- 

 tenuatis incurvis filamento (in sicco buUato-rugoso) subduplo longioribus. 

 Solarium argenteitm, Hook, and Arn. Bot. Beech. ? S. rotundifolium, 

 Nutt. in herb. Hook. — Sandwich Islands, on the sands of the low isth- 

 mus of Maui. Collected by Nuttall on Kauai, and on Oahu by Remy, 

 no. 442. Without having seen Nelson's specimen in the Banksian 

 herbarium, upon which Dunal, in the year 1819, drew up his character 

 of S. Nelsoni, we may presume, notwithstanding some discrepancies, 

 that it is the species here described from ampler materials. But it 

 does not belong to his division Pachystemonum. The anthers, although 

 rather short, are strongly attenuate at the summit, and the cells open 

 by a minute and strictly apical pore. Branches perhaps sarmentose. 

 Leaves an inch or two in length and breadth. 



SoLANUM Sandwicense (Hook. «fe Arn.) : fruticosum, inerme ; 

 foliis sublonge petiolatis ovatis (basi obtusa vel rotundata) integerrimis 

 undulatis vel angulato-sinuatis supra pube stellata minuta parce delapsa 

 glabratis subtus ramis floribusque cano- seu ochraceo-tomentosis ; cymis 

 pedunculatis plurifloris demum lateralibus, pedicellis gracilibus ; calycis 

 lobis subulatis corolla fere 5-partita (segmentis sestivatione valde in- 

 duplicatis, evolutis ovalibus obtusis) 3 - 4-plo brevioribus ; antheris ob- 

 longis arcuatis apice subattenuatis, poris apicalibus. Ludit indumento 

 tenuiore minus incano, et in var.? j8. crassiore furfuraceo. S. Sand- 

 wicense S^ S. Woahense, Dunal in DC. — Oahu, Sandwich Islands. 



Var. ? /3. Kavaiense : foliis ovato-oblongis magis acuminatis, tomento 

 furfuraceo ; calycis lobis angustissimis. — Kauai, on the leeward verge 

 of its tabular summit. 



SoLANUM incompletum (Dunal, 1. c): frutescens, subtomentosum, 

 aculeis igneis validis (aut perpaucis aut numerosis, prsecipue foliaribus 

 rarissime caulinis) armatum ; foliis longe petiolatis ovalibus oblongisve 

 sinuatis vel subpinnatifidis (lobis brevibus obtusissimis) supra stellulato- 

 puberulis subtus cum inflorescentia fulvo- seu ochraceo-tomentosis ; 

 pedunculis lateralibus brevissimis plurifloris ; calycis lobis brevibus ob- 

 tusis ; corolla profunde 5-fida (alba ?), segmentis oblongis arcuatis sur- 

 sum vix attenuatis, poris apicalibus majusculis ; baccis globosis parvis. 

 Hawaii, Sandwich Islands, Nelson (without flowers or fruit), Remy 

 (no. 451, a very aculeate state, in blossom), and fruiting specimens in 

 the collection of the Expedition. Apparently only a foot or so in 

 height, and barely woody at the base. Leaves 1^ to 2 inches long,
