614 PHANERO.GAMIA. 



Hab. Feejee, Tonga, and Samoan or Navigators' Islands : in 

 lagoons, &c. A specimen is also ticketed, "Tahiti," perhaps erro- 

 neously : as there is no mention of a Mangrove in Dr. Pickering's 

 memoranda of the plants found at the Society Islands. — The mucro 

 of the leaf is not always present. 



5. BRUGUIERA, Lam. 

 1. Bruguiera Rumphii, Blume. 



Bruguiera Rumphii, Blume, Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. p. 138, ex char. 



B. gymnorhiza, Lam. et Auct. ex parte. 



Mangium celsum, Kumph. Amb. 3, t. 68, ex Blume. 



Hab. Feejee, Tonga, and Samoan Islands: in lagoons, &c, along 

 with Mangroves. 



The specimens plainly belong to Blume's B. Rumphii; but whether 

 they are sufficiently distinct from B. gymnorhiza is not so evident. 

 The fruit is said to be eaten at the Feejee Islands.
