Hab. Lord Auckland Islands. 



Some of the leaves are strictly opposite, especially the last of each 

 year's growth.— This and the foregoing species are perhaps to be 

 associated with the following, which, for the present, I have referred 

 to Hedera. 



5. HEDERA, Tourn., Linn. 



To Hedera rather than to Aralia, as the genera are at present cha- 

 racterized, I should refer the following, along with some other species 

 with more or less united short styles, which surely are not real con- 

 geners of the original, North American Aralice. The Hawaiian 

 species, varying as they do from di-trigynous to pentagynous, unless 

 excluded, would wholly confound the already arbitrary limits between 

 Aralia and Panax.

^ A small tree, with extremely polymorphous, simple or trifoliolate, 

 rigid foliage. The united styles are well represented in Sir William 

 Hooker's figure.
