of these two patie having been dried without pressure, and non 
preserved in alcohol, I have not been able sebactecer to sa 
the floral structure, but the first is certainly bisexual, and agrees 
entirely in aspect with a New Caledonian me oe (Vieillard n. 
1122). The second is also, I think, referable to Wallich’s species, 
of which, however, I have seen no authentic Wocmnan, ¢ though I 
have carefully consulted Sir J. Hooker’s beautiful memoirs (Trans. 
inn. Soc. xxii. 1, sqq., , 8qq-)-

plant, with which it agrees in its scarious ovate acuminate stipules.
