For synonymy of the species see Professor Engler's Monograph (De 

 Candolle < Phanerog. Monogr.' iv. 72). The above description I have 

 restricted to the St. Lucia specimens cited. On account of the re- 

 markable difference between the fruit «,f our plant and that figured by 

 A. Richard (m Karnon de la Sa-n,, ' K!<.rn CuUu.a • ' /.•-,„/, t :\7) 

 I should not have ventured to regard (!,,„, as eonspe'cifie svcv. it not' 

 that Frof. Engler feels qnite satisfied as to their identity.
