tis ; floribus spicatis ; calyce masc. sessili 5- vel plerumque 4-lobo 4-5- 

 (rarissime 6-) andro extus ferrugineo-tomentoso intus glabro ; disco 

 lobato glabro ; ovarii rudimento obconico hirsuto ; stigmate terminali ; 

 drupa pedicellata. — Hawaii, Maui, Oabu, Kauai, not uncommon in 

 forests at an elevation of 2,000 or 3,000 feet. — Very closely related to 

 A.fallax of Penang, as described by Muller in DC. Prodi*. 15-2, p. 

 253, but differing in tbe rounder and more obtuse and sborter-petioled 

 leaves, and in tbe calyx being glabrous witbin. (M. & B. 427 ; Remy, 

 609 ; Hillebrand, 278 bis .)

 n. 21; Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beecb. Voy. p. 96. Macropiper, Miq. in 

 Comment. Pbytogr. p. 36, & Syst. Pip. p. 217. 



452. Peperomia pallida, A. Dietr. Spec. 1. p. 153 ; Miq. I. c. 

 p. 103 ; Hook. & Arn. 1. c. Piper pallidum, Forst. 1. c. n. 24. — I am 

 not able to give a satisfactory list of species of the Islands, nor can 

 much dependence be placed on these determinations. There are some 

 forms which do not agree with any descriptions which I can find ; 

 but rather than add any further confusion by introducing new 

 names, I merely refer to them in this way, especially as the forth- 

 coming volume of the Prodromus will soon exhibit all that is now 

 known concerning them. 



453. Peperomia membranacea, Hook. & Arn. 1. c. ; Miq. 1. c. p. 

 120. (Hillebrand, 453, pro parte ; M. & B.) 



454. Peperomia Gatjdichaudii, Miq. 1. c. p. 137. — This appears 

 scarcely to differ from P. membranacea, allowing that (as Miquel's 

 character does not) to have both opposite and whorled leaves.
