1 . Pennantia corymbosa, Forst. Prodr. 396 ; A. Cunningham in 

 Ann. Nat. Hist. iii. 248 ; Reisseck, Linnaea, xvi. 339. tab. 12 ; 

 — arbor 6-orgyalis, ramis albo-punctatis ; foliis cuneato-ob- 

 longis vel subellipticis, acutis, extra medium insequaliter gros- 

 seque dentatis, interdum integris, emarginatis, coriaceis, gla- 

 berrimis, supra lucidis ; panicula ampla, corymbosa, terminali, 

 diffusa, puberula, multiflora, alabastris ellipsoideis ; petalis 

 patentibus, filamentis filiformibus, capillaceis, antheris ob- 

 longis ; drupa atro-purpurea. — Nova Zeelandia. — v. s. in herb.

This species is so fully described and figured as above quoted, 

 that it is not necessary to enter into any details. I may however 

 remark that its leaves are much smaller, and far less coriaceous 

 than the other two species, and being for the most part coarsely 

 toothed, it bears a very different aspect. The upper leaves, as 

 in the specimens in Sir Wm. Hooker's herbarium, scarcely ex- 

 ceed 1 or 1^ inch in length; but Reisseck states that the lower 

 leaves are usually 2 or 3 inches long, as they are represented in 

 his drawing. The nut is double the size of that of the next 

 species*.

It is worthy of notice that the delineations and analytical de-
