Turrill, W. B., A contribution to the Flora of Fiji. (Journ. 

 Linn. Soc. XLIII. 288. p. 15—39. 1915.) 



The paper is based on the collection of plants made b}^ Sir 

 Everard im Thurn, in Fiji, during the years 1905—1907, excluding 

 the Ovchidaceae. Of 72 species, 24 are here described for the first 

 time, this being partly explained by the fact that comparatively 

 little of the inferior of Fiji has been botanicall}'- explored. The new 

 species, all of which are described hy the author, are mainl}'^ from 

 the Nandarivatu district and Kandavu. They are as foUows : 

 Cnlophylliim vitieiise, Grewia vitiensis, Geissois Iinthiiriiii, Eugenia 

 diffusa, E. vitiensis, Pareitgeuia, (gen. nov.), P. Inithuruii , Hoiualiiiui 

 nitens, Gavdenin HutcJwisouiaiia , Ixora bidlata, Psychotria effitsa, 

 P. hnthurnii, P. iniitor, P. solaiioides, Embelia gracilis, Syniplocos 

 leptophylla, Melodinus glaber, Alstonia mo)ita)ia, Ervatamia orieutalis, 

 Hoya megalaniha , H. vitiensis, Litsaca hnthurnii, L. niontana,
