Hab. UiS'KNOWis". Described from specimens received from the 

 Curator, Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, wbere tbe species is culti- 

 vated. Well distinguished by its.bolly-like foliage, tbe pair of 

 glands at tbe base of tbe blade, tbe short racemes, and tbe bexa- 

 raerous or bept^imerous ovary. Its nearest ally seems to be tbe 

 Fijian plant^ described by Seeniann, Flora Yitiensis, p. 7, under 

 tbe name Xylosma orhiculatum, Tbis bas large orbicular or 

 ovate leaves, and is probably specifically distinct from Z. orhicu- 



latum, Forst., a native of Savage Island, wbicb bas small obovate 

 leaves*
