An appar^ptly distinct species to which Blanco's description of Coffea volubilis 

 rather closely applies, his specific name being accordingly adopted and the species 

 redescribed under Morinda. Blanco's species was referred by F.-Villar to Morinda 

 umbellata Linn., to wliich the description of Cofea voluhilis manifestly does not 

 apply. Lucinaea odorata Elmer, in herb.
