18 PHYTOGRAPHY OF THE 
first and hitherto only description of the Tana plant, in the work 
above quoted, with the customary briefness of the time. Blume, not 
having access to Forsters’ plant, was prevented from recognising it, 
when he discovered the identical species in Java; but I find original 
specimens from Blume in my collection, precisely agreeing with the 
plant from the New Hebrides. Dr. Klatt, in his elaborate and pro- 
fusely illustrated monography of the genus Lysimachia, published in 
1866 (Abhandlungen aus dem Gebiete der Natur-wissenschaften, Ham- 
burg,) passes Lysimachia decurrens, as then almost unknown. My 
late friend, Dr. Berthold Seemann, in his highly meritorious work on 
the Fiji plants, just completed, and in its concluding portions posthu- 
mous, alludes passingly (Flora Vitiensis, p. 147) to the original plant 
of Forster’s, which he had the advantage of re-examining in the British 
Museum, and identified with it Macgillivray’s Lysimachia from the isle 
of Pines. I possess L. decurrens also from New Caledonia, where 
Mons. Pancher found it in “ prairies humides,” the specific identity 
not having been established before. 
Since the issue of Klatt’s monography, many new localities have 
been additionally recorded for the species then enumerated. On this 
occasion it would lead too far to dwell on that particular subject ; but 
i py here be observed that the following species have since been 
efined :—
