Our friend Agardh has well distinguished this handsome 
Pieris, (Litobrochia of Presl), and has founded its main specific 
character upon the peculiar venation: there is only a single 
arch between the costulz, next the costa; and the fourth (or 
generally the third) areola from the costal one is that which 
reaches the margin. Agardh’s description was made from 
Norfolk Island specimens in our Herbarium; but the plant 
has since been found in New Zealand and in Van Diemen’s
