6 PHYTOGRAPHY OF THE 
in the axis of the upper leaves. Pedicels 2 to 3 lines long, rather 
crowded. Calyces only one line long, glabrous. Petals about 4 lines 
long, blunt. Anthers measuring about one line. Pistil smooth. 
Ovary very slender. Valves of' the capsule about 3 of an inch long, 
sometimes verging into a rhomboid form, but always longer than 
broad, and often considerably so; outside turning blackish, inside 
orange-yellow, not viscid. Seeds generally almost 1} line long, not 
sticky. Funicles almost obliterated. 
The flowers are delightfully odorous, like those of most congeners. 
The species is dedicated”to the young gentleman, who thoughtfully 
and kindly provided the material for this essay. It is the first 
Pittosporum from the New Hebrides, and bears some alliance to 
P. rhytidocarpum (Asa Gray, Botany of Wilkes’s Exploring Expedition, 
p. 228, tab. 18.) The differences, however, are obvious; for 
P. rhytidocarpum has sessile umbels, free sepals (though not so 
shown in the plate,) a downy sessile ovary, a longer style, larger 
capsules outside warty or tubercular and deeply wrinkled, and 
finally larger and more compressed seeds. 
P. glabratum (Lindley, in the ¥ournal of the London Horticultural 
Society, vol. 1, p. 230) differs already in its deeply divided slightly 
ciliated calyces, connate petals, thinner and broader valves, which are 
three in number, also larger seeds. P. ferrugineum (W. T. Aiton, 
Hort. Kew, sec. edit., 11., 27) is still more widely distinct. 
Pittosporum Brakenridgei (Asa Gray, J. c., p. 225, tab. 17) accord- 
to Seemann’s Feegee-plant numbered 56, presents, like the following, 
a short-lobed calyx, but is dissimilar in many other respects. 
P. ramiflorum (Zollinger, in Miguel Flor. Ind. Batav., vol. 1, 
part 1., p. 122) is to be distinguished already in its entirely lateral 
inflorescence, smaller and connate petals. This species again is 
closely allied to P. Richii (A. Gr., J. c.,) and both have the short-lobed 
ple of P. Campbellii, while the fruit of P. Richii is broader than 
ong. 
P. Timorense (Blume, Mus. Bot. Lugd., 1., 160) is described as 
having short and only dentated calyces. The only'specimens of any 
Pittosporum which I possess from Timor (in fruit only) have roundish 
capsules, $ to 3 of aninch long, strongly compressed, outside almost 
even. None of the described species of Pittosporum from New 
Caledonia (Brogniart and Gris, in Annales des Scien. Nat. 1865, 
P- 143—147) is closely allied to Me Campbell’s plant.
