Io PHYTOGRAPHY OF THE 
and collected by Mr. Tyesmann, seems identical with a species from the 
island of Ternate. It differs from D. ormocarpoides (De Candolle, 
Prodr. \., 327) so far as the material before me allows me to judge, 
already in narrower stipules, short-toothed calyces and long-stalked pods, 
The latter, in a half-ripe state, resemble those of D. laburnifolium (De 
Candolle, Prodr. 11., 337,) but are not sessile, and the articulations are 
still deeper. In the simplicity and form of the foliage, the Tana plant 
agrees with D. ormocarpoides. The expanded upper petal is beyond its 
base almost orbicular. The tenth stamen is free. Ripe fruit is unknown 
to me, The racemes attain a length of one foot. The large 
leaflets are sparingly beset with short appressed hair; but this 
would not be a positive characteristic of the species, inasmuch as 
D. ormocarpoides occurs in Ceylon with leaflets copiously downy be- 
neath, including therefore, probably, D. zonatum (Miquel, Flor. Ind. 
Bat., 1., 250.) 
TEPHROSIA PISCATORIA (Pers. Enchir., 11., 329.) 
ERAMANGA and EFATE. About two feet high. Flowers white. 
Dr. Veillard’s plant from New Caledonia, distributed under the above 
name, appears to represent a distinct species. 
Acacta FaRNESIANA (Willdenow, sf. £/., 1083.) 
Marz, Loyalty Islands, where it grows to the height of twelve feet. 
Pinnz sometimes reduced to two pairs. Peduncles not rarely solitary. 
Calyces and corolla occasionally six-cleft. 
MYRTACEAE. 
Eucenta Ricuit (Asa Gray, in Wilkes’s Unit. Stat. Explor. 
Exped. Bot., p. 510, pl. 58.) 
TANA, where it grows to a ‘height of forty feet. This evidently 
stately tree, with large leaves and globular fruits above an inch in size, 
either belongs to the above-indicated species, or must be regarded as 
botanically new. It has the characteristic winged-angular branchlets, 
and the round or cordate based-leaves of E. Richii, and it may thus be 
easily discriminated in comparison with E. Malaccensis, (Linné, s. A/. 672,) 
. but the flowers seem somewhat smaller than those delineated by Sprague, 
the calyx-tube is more turgid, the calyx-lobes are conspicuously ‘unequal ; 
and for the comparison of the ripe fruits of the Tana species with that 
from Fiji and Tonga, no opportunity has as yet been afforded. 
BaRRINGTONIA RACEMOSA (Blumé, in De Cand. Prod. 
IL, 288.) 
TANA, inland in forests. A tree, forty feet high. Petalsand stamens 
white. Fruit greenish. Kernels, according to Mr. Campbell’s note, 
eatable. This appears to be the most widely-spread of all congeners, ex- 
tending even to East Africa, but in Australia it has as yet only been 
found on Rockingham’s Bay. The racemes are sometimes fully four feet 
long on trees of the last-mentioned locality. The allied B. Samoensis 
(Asa Gray, Bot. Wilk. Explor. Exped., 508) has much smaller flowers,
