1. BARRINGTONIA, Forst. 



1. Barringtonia speciosa, Linn.f. 



Barringtonia speciosa, Linn. f. Suppl. p. 312 ; Forst. Prodr. p. 47 ; Guill. Zeph. 



Tait. p. 59, cum descr. Forst. ; Wight, Ic. PL Ind. Or. 2, t. 547. 

 B. Butonica, Forst. Char. Gen. t. 38. 



Hab. Society and Samoan Islands ; common on the coast. Feejee 

 Islands ; " submaritime and not very common." Mangsi Islands. 



2. Barringtonia excelsa, Blume ? 



Barringtonia excelsa, Blume, Bijdr. p. 1097? Benth. in Hook. Lond. Jour. Bot. 2, 



p. 221. 

 B. racemosa, Gaud. Bot. Voy. Freyc. p. 483, t. 107? 



Hab. Ovolau, and Sandalwood Bay, Feejee Islands. (In flower, 

 and with young fruit.) 



This accords very well with the figure of Gaudichaud's B. racemosa : 

 whether it is the plant of Blume under that name, or truly his B. 

 exceha, I cannot determine.

B. foliis membranaceis oblongo-cuneatis oblanceolatisve acuminata obsolete 

 serrulatis in petiolwn brevem attenuatis; racemo gracili elongato
