107. " Tephrosia pu7'piirea, Vers." Also T. pi scatori a, Yers. 



113. ^' Stronglodon ruber, Vog." is interesting as making known the 

 fruit of this plant, an oval and turgid legume, with two large seeds like 

 those of Ganavalia, 



123. '^ Rhynchosia minima" \s not that species, nor of the genus, 

 having a pluriovulate ovary and I believe monadelphous stamens. It 

 is probably a Hedysarea. 



127. '■'■ Pongamia piscatoria, Seem." is Derris idiginosa, Benth. 



133. " Storckiella Vitiensis, Seem. gen. nov." is entirely new to us, 

 and not in the American collection. 



156. '^Eugenia confertijlora" is hardly the plant of the American 

 Expedition, the leaves being larger and less pale beneath, the flowers 

 apparently larger, the calyx-tube longer and striate-angled. But the 

 materials for complete comparison are wanting. 



162. "^. rivularis, Seem." does not well agree with any of ours; 

 and the same may be said of 1 63, an unnamed Eugenia. 



166. " Nelitris fruticosa" as to the specimen furnished, is N. Viti- 

 ensis. 



168. '■'■ Acicalyptus myrtoides" completely as it accords in foliage 

 with our plant of that name, is very different in the flower-buds, and 

 somewhat so in the inflorescence. The characters of the two species 

 may be expressed thus : — 



A. myrtoides (Gray, Bot. Pacif. Exped.. 1. p. 551, t. 67) : alabas- 

 tris elongato-oblongis acute quadrangulatis, operculo subulato ; floribus 

 deplanato-cymosis plerisque pedicellatis. 



A. Seemanni {A. myrtoides, Seem, non Gray) : alabastris clavatis 

 inferne tantum tetragonis, operculo late conico breviter apiculato ; 

 floribus subthyrsoideo-cymosis plerisque sessilibus iis A. myrtoidis 

 multo minoribus. 



170,171. '^ 3fefrosideros " seem to be only slender forms of 169, 

 which is M. coUina, Gray, but of the var. glahei^rima. 



172. " Memecylon Vitiense" is the var. ^. of our collection. 



173. '^ Astronia Picheringii" is not that plant, but, as well as can 

 be made out from the incomplete fruiting specimen, Astronidium par- 

 vijtorum. Gray. 



177. " Medinilla" accords with the specimen of M. rkodocMcena, 

 Gray. Seemann's 175, so named, was not communicated, nor was 178. 



181. " 3Ielastomacea." This, with fruit only, accords with some un- 

 determined foliage in the American collection.
