In regard to the plants given below, it should be observed : That I 

 was separated from Mr. Brackenridge after leaving Manua; that of 

 the species credited to Upolu, very few were seen there by myself; 

 and that neither Mr. Rich nor Mr. Brackenridge landed on Savaii. 

 The collections, however, were all reviewed by myself, and are in- 

 cluded in the following List : 



(Euryandra? No. 1). Gen. incert. ; resembling a Leguminous plant, but the pods arise 

 four together, and have no suture above; the seeds large, and transverse. An orna-" 

 mental, woody vine ; the leaves simple, entire, subcordate at base ; peduncle long, and 

 woody. Manua, and elsewhere.* 



Uvaria, (No. 1). A tree, sixty to seventy feet high; leaves short-petioled, subcordate at 

 base. Savaii ; the timber valued by the natives. 



(Stephania); compare Cocculus ? (No. 1) Taheiti. No flowers. Upolu. 



Thespesia populnea, (No. 1 ; see Tarawan coral-islands). A tree of medium size ; outer 

 calyx caducous, and three-leaved. Frequent along the sea-coast. 



(Paritium) tiliaceum, (bis No. 1 Metia and Taheiti, and compare Brazil) ; the involucre 

 persistent. A small tree, intermingled singly with the preceding on Tutuila, Upolu^ 

 and Savaii. — Apparently the same species in the forest of Interior Savaii, growing sixty 



*Anona (bis Taheiti); the "custard-apple." A young plant seen growing, "brought by 



the missionaries from the Society Islands." 

 Cardamine? sarmentosa, (No. 1, bis Metia and Taheiti). Frequent in waste ground on 



Manua, Tutuila, and Savaii; introduced (by aboriginal settlers). 

 Gossypium (religiosum ? No. 1, bis Metia and Taheiti). Naturalized on Savaii ; (having 



been introduced by aboriginal settlers).
