licles of this latter species are acuminate, the leaves ever- 
green, and the bracts and sepals different. Capt. Smith ob- 
serves of this plant: ‘‘It is not exactly a tree in habit. It 
occurred everywhere I went from the coast up to the slopes 
of the volcanoes at an elevation of 5,000%. The natives call 
it cobal (varnish gum).” 7. grandiflora, as is known, was 
referred by Miers to Stemmadenia, but is retained by Mr. 
Hemsley in Tabernemontana. The difference between these
