SOCIETY ISLANDS. 



[Including Easter, Ducie's, Elizabeth, Pitcairn, and Gambier's Islands; those denominated " Coral Islands" at 

 page 1, of this Volume; and Otaheite, or Tahiti. They were visited at the periods there stated.*] 



Ord. I. CRUCIFERiE. Juss. 



1. Cardamine sarmentosa; foliis petiolatis glabris pinnatisectis, segmentis 5 ovatis inferne 

 dentatis infimis petiolulatis, caule subnudo basi flagellifero, siliquis patentibus. DC. — 

 " Forst. Fl. App.p. 92. n. 529." De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 153. 



1. Lepidium piscidium; siliculis oblongo-obovatis (seu obovatis) emarginatis, stigmate 

 exserto, foliis ovali-oblongis extrorsum dentatis integerrimisve. DC. — " Forst. Prodr. n. 

 249." De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 206. 



The pouch in our specimens is broader than that described by De Candolle, in this respect approaching 

 that of L. O- Waihiense, but the style is very conspicuous. 



Ord. II. CAPPARIDEiE. Juss. 



1. Gynandropsis pentaphylla. De Cand. Prodr. v. I. p. 238. — Cleome pentaphylla. Bot. 

 Mag. t. 1681. 



1. Crataeva religiosa; staminibus 20-28 toro annulari insertis petaloi'um longitudine, 

 bacca ovali, foliis lanceolato-ellipticis acutis. DC. — " Forst. Prodr. n. 203." De Cand. 

 Prodr. v. I. p. 243. 



Hab. Gambier's Island. 



1. Capparis Sandwichiana ; inermis, foliis ellipticis glabriusculis, limbo petiolo vix triplo 

 longiore, pedicellis solitariis unifloris foliorum longitudine. De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 245. 



This appears scarcely different from the C. spinosa : nor does the C. Mariana seem to us deserving of 

 the rank of a species. 



Ord. III. MALVACEvE. Juss. 

 1. Urena lobata. Linn. — De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 441. Bot. Mag. t. 3043. 



1. Hibiscus Manihot. Linn.— Bot. Mag. t. 1702. De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 458. 



2. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. Linn. — Bot. Mag. t. 158. De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 448. 



* As many of the plants of these Islands appear common to the whole groupe, we have rarely thought it neces- 

 sary to mention the particular stations of the species.
