My first collection from Hawaii pee without label, a very large-leaved specimen 
with flower-buds too young to serve for examination, which possibly may belong here; 
but t p e is Aisi and patent, not appressed, leaves 
resemble altogether those of S. repandum, Forst. This latter species Prof. y, l.c., calls the 
«Feejee Tomato», but Seeman i . Vit. omits to mention that it is cultivated, and leaves 
us to infer that the «Feejee Tomato» is S. anthropophage =S. vtride, Sol. Be this 
as it may, not aware that the plant in question ever was cultivated on o 
am group, 
and it would not seem ikely that a Bensyer vr ro spread over the Viti, Society,
