Upon the same specimen there is frequently a transition from the sessile to the long peduncled heads of 

 flowers, and from ovate to oblong 1 leaves.

1. Clusia sessilis; floribus axillaribus solitariis subsessilibus 4-petalis, foliis obovatis ellip- 

 ticisque. DC.—" Forst. Protlr. n. 391." De Cand. Prodr. v. l.p. 559. 



Our specimens are not in flower, but appear to be the plant of Forster. They were among the Oahu 

 Collection, but Mr. Collie has not noticed them in his notes.

 1. Oxalis repens. Thumb. — Jacq. Ox. n. 11. t. 78. f. I. De Cand. Prodr. v. l.p. 693. 



Our specimens, found at Oneeheow, are neither in flower nor in fruit, and we should have referred them 

 to O. corniculata, but Gaudichaud having- mentioned O. repens as a native of the Sandwich Islands, and not 

 O. corniculata, we have retained the above name.

1. Tribulus cistoides. Linn. — Jacq. Hort. Schcenbr. t. 103. De Cand. Prodr. v. l.p. 703. 

 The juice squeezed from the roots of this plant is employed by the natives as an emetic. Eight full grown 

 roots supply enough for one dose. ( Collie.)

Ord. XI. TEREBINTHACE7E. Juss. 



1. Brunellia Sandwicensis ; foliis oppositis simplicibus oblongis integerrimis supra 

 glabris subtus mimitissime pubescentibus, racemis simplicibus paucifloris axillaribus. — 

 Gaud, in Freyc. Voy.j). 93? (absque descriptione.) 



Our specimen, found in Oahu, is in a very imperfect state ; still we have little hesitation in believing it to 

 be the same with the species noticed by Gaudichaud, and also by Adrien de Jussieu, in his Memoir on the 

 RutacecB. The young branches, peduncles, and pedicels are pubescent, as also the carpels. In the specimen 

 before us, the peduncle has only tliree flowers, one of which is terminal, and the other two are lateral and 

 opposite to each other, all of them pedicellate. Although, following De Candolle's Prodromus, we have 

 placed this genus in Terebinthacece, Jussieu appears to us to have done right in referring it to the 

 Rutacea, near Zanthoxylon.
