2. O. unonaefolia (H.f. et T.) ; foliis oblongis in acumen gracile 

 abrupte productis subtus valde glaucis utrinque glabemmis, carpellis

Frutex scandens. Hamuli nigricantes, glabri, rugulosi ; partes novelise aureo- 

 pubesccntes. Folia basi rotundata vel acutiuscula, apice longe acuminata, 5-7 poll, 

 longa, 2-3 lata, petiolo vix i-poll., submenibranacea, supra uitida. Pedunculi frue-

This plant, which is in fruit only, with one very young bud, is referred here, from 

 its close resemblance to Polyalihia (Oxymitra) cuneiformis , Blume, the original 

 species of the genus, and to the next species. 



3. O. glauca (H.f. et T.) ; foliis oblongis acutis vel obtusis utrin- 

 que glabemmis subtus valde glaucis, carpellis ovoideis utrinque ob- 

 tusis.

 diinculifractiferi pollicares, graciles. Carpella numerosa, atro-fusca, pedicello sequi-
