1. PoLYCARPJEA TENUIFOLIA, DG. 



Achyranthes tenuifolia, Willd. Spec. 1, p. 1196. 



Mollia tenuifolia, Willd. Hort. Berol. no. 11. 



Polycarpcea tenuifolia, DC. Prodr. 3, p. 374. 



P. glabrifolia, /3. rutila, Fenzl, in PI. Kotsch. It. Nub. no. 83. 



Hab. Arid places, St. J ago, Cape de Verde Islands. 



This is not enumerated in Mr. Webb's Spicilegia Gorgonea, nor in 

 the Appendix subsequently published, in Hooker's Journal of Botany. 

 The specimens agree with Kotschy's plant, above cited. The linear- 

 subulate leaves are too narrow to accord with the character of DeCan- 

 dolle's P. glabrifolia; but the stipules are pretty large, in which point 

 alone it differs from the character of Achyranthes tenuifolia, Willd. 



11. P L Y C A R P N, Lceffl. 



1. POLYCARPON TETRAPHYLLUM, IAfiU. 



Hab. Madeira. Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Near Sydney and 

 Puen Buen, New South Wales. Doubtless introduced from Europe. 



This species is not before noticed as growing in New Zealand, 

 where many European weeds are rapidly becoming naturalized ; nor 

 in New Holland, which, however, DeCandolle gives as a habitat of P. 

 alsinefolium.
