The synonymy of the species and of ies sea- a-shore ally is 
discussed by Prain (Journ. Beng. As. Soc. Ixvi. 419), by Merrill 
(Interpret. Rumph. Herb. 280) and by Gagnepain (Bull. Soc. 
Bot. Fr. Ixii (1915) 292)

The only note which should be added to Endlicher’s precise 
and ae description (l.c.) is that the pods vary in length 
from 9-18 cm. and in width from 2°5-3-5 cm. The endocarp 
is adherent to the valves of the pod, otherwise it might be 
confused with C. turgida, Graham, which also occurs in the 
S. Pacific. The ripe seeds are pale brown with a circumference 
5 times the length of the hilum. 
We have not seen the drawing quoted by Endl. (lc.) but a 
specimen collected in Norfolk Island by Backhouse is stated on 
the label in the Kew Herbarium to be “ apparently Endlicher’s 
plant : compared with Bauer’s drawing Nov. 1867.” It exactly 
corresponds with the description.
