Hab. Samoan and Society Islands ; on the shore, and in waste 

 grounds. Dr. Pickering also noticed it in the Tonga and Feejee 

 Islands, around dwellings; apparently introduced. Also at Lima, 

 Peru ! 



The divergent pods are terete or nearly so, giving the plant the 

 appearance of a Sisymbrium; and the valves show some traces of a 

 midnerve. But the seeds, although turgid, have the cotyledons 

 accumhent. The pods are from 7 to 9 lines long, tipped with a style 

 of a line in length. This plant had been found only in the South 

 Sea Islands; but the specimen gathered at Lima clearly belongs to 

 this species.
