2. SESUVIUM, Linn. 



1. Sesuvium Portulacastrum, Linn. 



Hab. Rio Negro, North Patagonia. Feejee Islands; Tongatabu; 

 and Wake's Island ; on the border of lagoons. 



The specimens from Rio Negro show that Cambessedes (in St. Hil. 

 Fl. Bras. 2, p. 199) has rightly referred to this species the S. pa?-vi- 

 florum, DC. They entirely resemble the North American plant : their 

 flowers are mostly as large, and on short but manifest peduncles. 

 The South Sea Islands specimens are usually more rigid ; the stems 

 apparently suffrutescent at the base.

Hab. Tahiti and Eimeo, Society Islands. "An introduced weed,

 recent times.
