PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
RUTACE. 
“Soap-tree leaf. Cheritah?” In leaf only. Leaves alternate 
or nearly opposite, oval-lanceolate, blunt, up to 6 in. long and 2 
wide, with winged stalks. Seems to me a Rutaceous plant, al- 
though the oil glands are scarcely evident.

MyrtTace®. 
17. Metrosideros villosa, Sm. (Syn.: M. obovata, Hook. and 
Arn. in Beechey, with Fig.; also M. polymorpha, Gaud). Known 
in the island under the name of “ Rata,” doubtless because of its. 
similarity to the well-known New Zealand species of the genus. 
The name ‘ Rata” is, however, a genuine Tahitian name also, 
and is applied to the Tahitian chestnut, /nocvarpus edulis. See 
Ellis, Polynesian Researches, i., 375. 
42. Hugentia Jambos, Linn.: ‘Rose Apple.” Ellis, i., 374, 
says “the ‘ Ahia’ or ‘Jambo,’ H. malaccensis, is, perhaps, the 
most juicy of the indigenous fruits of the Society Islands.” This 
species must, however, not be confused with F. malaccensis, 
Linn.: Psidium)}Guayava, Raddi, ‘“‘ Guava.”
