Nota. Species sine dubio valde variabilis; drupa in insula Reunion collecta latitudine 

 insignis areola conspicua leviter coneava gaudet. P. elegans Thou. (= Vinsonia elegans Gaudich.) 

 seeundum Cordemoy (Fl. Reunion) species propria est; attamen neque ex descriptione eius manca, 

 neque ex icone Gaudichaudiana differentiam ullam cognoscere possum. Balfour P. elegantem recte 

 P. sylvestri Bory, non (ut Cordemoy dicit) P. montano attribuit; itaque Cordemoy Balfourii 

 opinionem perperam confutasse existimo. Vinsonia lucida Gaudich. (P. lucidus Wall.) drupis 

 vertice paullo incisis gaudet.

Reunion: feuchte Wälder der mittleren Zone. 



Nota. Diagnosis Cordemoyi incompleta ab ea Thouarsii quoad altitudinem arboris 

 discrepat. Quam ob rem Balfour f. etiam Vinsoniam drupaceam Gaudich. (Bot. Voy. Bonite 

 t. 31 fig. 8 — 11) in synonymiam speciei reeeperit, haud intelligo. Vinsonia purpurascens Gaudich:
