In Endlicher's Prod. Norf. the plant is called Peniiantia 

 Gorymhosa, Forst., Char. Gen. 67; but in Index Kewensis P. 

 corymhosa, Forst., is stated to be from New Zealand, and P. 

 corynihosa, Endl., from Norfolk Island. 



I am of opinion that the Norfolk Island species is identical 

 with the New Zealand one.

 Island.

 the note " Dodonma sjyathulata, Sm., in Rees' Cyc. v. 5, p. 12, n.2. 

 D. viscosa, Forst., non Linn. Sides of Mount Pitt." 



A manuscript in my possession (circa 1844) says, "Hopwood 

 (Dodoncca orientalis) does not attain to more than a foot in 

 diameter, and is principally used for veneering and turning 

 ornaments.' 



It is called " Ti-tree " by some and by others " Ake-Ake " who 

 remember the same species from New Zealand. 



It is a singularly handsome small tree, reminding one of an 

 Oleander, and bearing a profusion of crimson winged fruits. It 

 is to be found on a bank of rocks in the vicinity of Bullock's 

 Hut, north-west of the Island. Hemsley (Ann. Bot. x. 234) has 

 the record for Lord Howe Island, ^^ Dodonma lanceolata, F.v.M. 

 (J). visGosa, C. Moore, Rep. p. 3 vix Linn.)." 



I have carefully examined our specimens, and those from 

 Norfolk Island are all D. viscosa, and those from Lord Howe 

 Island are all D. lanceolata. 



A manuscript in my possession has the entry " Maple {Acer 

 Dohinea) is also very handsome and used for cabinet work." 

 Downing also has "The Maple {Acer Dohinea%)y Probabl}^ 

 Dodoncea viscosa is referred to. The '* Maple " of the islander? 

 (post-Pitcairn) is Elmodendron curtipendulum, Endl
