* Jussiaa erecta of Tropical and Subtropical America. Tetrapetalous with a " napiformis " 

 root (Pers.) : observed by Sloane pi. ri in the West Indies — (Spreng.), also by Swartz (A. Dec), 

 and known to grow in Demarara (Dec. prodr.). Farther North, observed by Pursh from the Dismal 

 swamp to Carolina ; and by Nuttall, on the Arkansas. 



Asclepias Curassavica of Tropical America. An orange flowered milkweed, observed by Sloane 

 ii. pi. 129, — and Swartz, in the West Indies ; by myself, in clearings and waste ground in Southern 

 Brazil ; is regarded by Gardner as indigenous, growing throughout Tropical America as far as the 

 point of Florida (Chapm.); and from Negroes using the pulverized dried root as an emetic, is called 

 "wild ipecacuanha" (Don). Transported to Europe, is described by Hermann parad. 36, Miller, and 

 Dillenius: and by European colonists was carried to the environs of Bombay, observed by Graham 

 " in gardens pretty common, flowers in the rains," and '■ almost naturalized ; " to Ceylon, naturalized 

 there according to Gardner (hort. soc. iv. 40); to Burmah, "exotic" there according to Mason ; to 

 the environs of Canton (Beechey, and Hook.); and to the Taheitian Islands (Lay and Collie, and A. 

 Dec). 



Hyptis capitata of Tropical America. A shrubby Labiate, observed by Sloane i. pi. 109, — Jac- 

 quin rar. i. pi. 114, and Swartz, on Hayti and Jamaica ; by myself, in Southern Brazil ; and known to 

 grow in Demarara, Panama, and Mexico (Benth.). By European colonists, was carried Westward 

 across the Pacific to the Philippines, occurring according to Bentham around Manila (A. Dec.) ; and 

 observed by myself on both Luzon and Mindanao. 



Clethra tinifolia of the mountains of Eastern Tropical America. Observed by Sloane ii. pi. 198,

 to ulcers, and then called " urgerao " or "jarbao " (Lindl.) : observed by Sloane pi. 107, — and Jac- 

 quin obs. iv. pi. 85, in the West Indies, growing according to Chapman as far as the point of Florida; 

 and observed by myself abounding in the outskirts of Rio Janeiro. Westward, by Polynesians may 

 have been carried to the islands of the Pacific, observed by myself naturalized on the Hawaiian 

 Islands, and planted by the natives on Tongatabu. Eastward, through European colonists was carried 

 across the Atlantic to Equatorial Africa (Benth. fl. Nigr.); to Hindustan, observed by Graham " com- 

 mon about Bombay during the rains," by myself in gardens there, and "S. Indica" (regarded as not 

 distinct) by Nimmo in the Southern Concan (see A. Dec).
