For remarks on Punica, consult Payer in Comptes Rcndus, Oct. 18, 1852. Accord- 

 ing to Blume, Rhodamnia, Jack, is certainly a member of this Order ; but it is possible 

 that Glaphyria is related to Vaccinium, as is certainly the case with Myrtus Vulcani 

 of Korthals. The leaves of Myrtus nummularia are diuretic, and have been used by 

 the settlers in the Falkland Islands as a substitute for tea ; the berries are sweet and 

 agreeable. — Hooker, f.

GENERA.

Olinia, Thunb. 



Cremadostemon, Hort. 

 Myrrhinium, SchoU. 



Filicianea, Cambess. 



Tetrastemon, Hook. 

 Fenzlia, Endb 



The last two genera are referred here upon the authority of M. Naudin, who 

 regards Olinia as the type of a peculiar Natural order. Germaria, Presl., said by 

 that author to be near Leptospermum, has been shown by Mr. Bentham not to be a 

 Myrtad at all, but a species of Pygeurn.
