This is certainly a very variable plant; but admirably de- 

 scribed by Chamisso in the place above quoted. Specimens 

 from the venerable Menzies enable me to unite, without hesita- 

 tion, the V. dentatum and reticulatum of Sm. with the V. cereum 



of Forsler. The plant is called « Obu Obu" by the natives of 



Tahiti, according to M. Morenhout, and appears to DC coram 

 to the Pacific Islands both north and south of the line.
