NEW SOUTH SEA ISLAND PLANTS. 71 
lection were at once published, and I gladly accede to his wish by print- 
ing a preliminary list, to which I shall add the description of several 
new genera and species. Dr. Greffe made several highly-important 
additions to the Vitian Flora, among them one entirely new genus of 
Tiliacea, with large stipules and calyculate flowers, which I have named 
in honour of its discoverer (Greffea), also a new Eleocarpus (E. 
Graffei) He also transmits flowering specimens of a Vacciniaceous 
plant, which I had previously only found in fruit, and referred pro- 
visionally to Epyginum. I am now enabled to describe it as a per- 
fectly new genus, which, on account of its beauty, may bear one of 
the names of Aphrodite (Paphia). There are, besides, flowering spe- 
cimens of my Podocarpus (2) Vitiensis, and acceptable additions to 
materials of a new genus of Palms, originally discovered in Viti Levu 
by Mr. Jacob Storck (see Journ. Bot. 1863, p. 190). Also Dicksonia 
Berteroana, Kunz., and several other plants never before found in the 
Viti group. 
I believe no list of plants from Uvea or Wallis Island, situated be- 
tween Viti and Samoa, has as yet been published, and no one but Sir 
E. Home has ever collected there. With the exception perhaps of a 
Rubiacea, not yet made out satisfactorily, all the species Dr. Greffe ga- 
hered there were previously known, and most of them are common 
throughout Polynesia; but several others, for instance, Aglaia Samoén- 
sis, A. Gray, Eugenia clusiafolia, A. Gray, etc., had hitherto been found 
only in the Samoan archipelago.
