208 THE SOLANA OF TROPICAL POLYNESIA. 
lobatis, lobis acutis, basi obliquis, utrinque furfuraceo-puberulis, ante 
evolutionem ochraceo-tomentosis, floribus extra-axillaribus simpliciter 
racemosis, pedicellis gracilibus, calycis lobis subulatis corolla tomentosa 
fere 5-partita 3-4-plo brevioribus, baccis globosis glabris nitidis (2 une. 
diametr.).—S. puberulum e£ pulverulentum, Nutt. mss. in Herb. Brit. 
4$.— Oahu, in silvis montosis (Nuttall /), Sandwich Islands (Men- 
zies ! in Herb. Mus. Brit.). 
This is very near S. Sandwichense, Hook. and Arn., and S. tetrandrum, 
R. Brown, but differs from both in not having divaricate cymes but 
simple racemes. It is far less tomentose than S. Sandwichense, the 
leaves, when fully developed, being quite glabrous on both sides, as 
are also the fruiting peduncles and pedicels. Larger leaves, including 
petiole, 4—5 inches long, 2 inches broad ; fruiting pedicels 1 inch long. 
8. S. Bauerianum, Endl. Fl. Norf. p. 54.—Norfolk Island (Her. 
Hook.). 
Very near S. Uporo and S. viride, Br., but corymbs generally ter- 
minal and corolla glabrous.

Seem. in Bonpl. x. p. 274, t. 14. S. viride, Sol. (non R. Brown 1)

descript.) ; Parkinson's. Drawings of Tahitian Plants in Mus. Brit. t. 
27. S. aviculare, Guill. Zeph. Tait. p. 45 (non Forst.). Nomen ver- 
naculum Tahitense, *Poroporo;" Vitiense, '" Boro dina. » —Viti 
Islands (Seemann ! n. 341, Milne /), Society Islands (Nelson /), Tongan 
Islands (Barclay /), Samoan Islands (Sir E. Home /), New Caledonia 
or Friendly Islands (Forster / in Mus. Brit:). 
R. Brown's 5. viride differs from this species in having styles longet. 
than the stamens and berries not larger than a good-sized pea, whilst S. 
Uporo, Dun., has styles shorter than the stamens, and berries having the 
dimensions of tomatoes and the larger olives. Solander's 5. viride being 
merely a name, unaccompanied by a description, that of R. Brown, free 
from this defect, naturally has the preference. Dunal's S. Uporo, described i 
from insufficient materials, was at first not recognized by me, or else 
.I should not have added the name anthropophagorum to its synonymy. 
S. aviculare, Forst. (with which Hook. fil. very properly unites 5. 
laciniatum, Ait.), is very different from 8. Uporo (the “ Poroporo ” of 
Tahiti, “ Boro " of Viti), and does not occur in the Society Islands ; 
Guillemin meant S. Uporo by his S. aviculare.
