venisque adpresso-pubescentibus, pedunculis apice flores plures umbellatine dispositos gerentibus, calycis hir- 

 suti dentibus subulatis. 



Ord. XXXI. SOLANEiE. Juss. 



1. Solanum Sandivicense ; caule fruticoso, ramis teretibus, ramulis canescentibus, f'oliis 

 angulato-sinuatis ovatis supra glabris subtus pubescenti-canis, racemis corymbosis ter- 

 minalibus vel lateralibus, calyce minuto quinquefido, staminibus equalibus. 



This appears to have been also observed by Gaudichaud, but neither named nor described. At first sight 

 it resembles some of the Lasiopetulea.

Ord. XXXII. LABIAT7E. Juss. 



1. Plectranthus australis ; calycis labio inferiore 4-partito laciniis mediis vix longiori- 

 bus, corollse tubo calycem bis superante, verticillis distinctis, pedicellis calycem fructiferum 

 subEequantibus, foliis ovatis inciso-crenatis rugosiusculis pubescentulis, caule herbaceo. Br.

Found on the islands of Oahu and Oneeheow. Gaudichaud notices a species of this genus which 

 he met with, and which is probably the same as ours. The calyx is more or less covered with yellow 

 resinous glands, which we do not find noticed by authors. Mr. Bentham, in the Linnsea, v. 0. p. 80, 

 states the species detected in Oahu, by Chamisso, to be P. parviflorus, Willd.; and certainly ours accords 

 well with the figure given in the Hort. Berol. t. 65 ; but the calyx is described as without glands. 



1. Phyllostegia glabra; glaberrima, foliis petiolatis ovatis acuminatis serrato-crenatis 

 basi rotundatis, floralibus minoribus breviter petiolatis, racemis subpaniculatis, pedunculis 

 utrinque elongatis trifidis, calycis ovato-campanulati dentibus brevibus acutis demum paten- 

 tibus, corolla calyce vix duplo longiore, styli lobis clavatis recurvato-divaricatis. Benth. in 

 Linncea, v. 6. p. 79. — Prasium glabrum. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy.p. 252. t. 64. (ex parte.) 



Mr. Bentham remarks that Gaudichand's plate is compounded of the present and the next species : in this, 

 the corolla is much the smallest. The specimen in the Collection is very imperfect, but we have one from 

 Mi - . Macrae. As this genus has been only lately separated by Mr. Bentham from Prasium, we shall here 

 quote the character: Phyllostegia. Gaud. Calyx ovatus, 10-nervis, subsequalis, nunc 5-fidus, lobis ovatis 

 foliaceis, nunc breviter 5-dentatus. Corolla tubo calycem superante, nunc longe exserto, ssepius incurvo, 

 fauce non intlata, bilabiata : labio superiore subpatente integro subplano ; inferiore longiore patente 3-fido, 

 lobis ovatis, medio majore integro. Stamina 4, sub labio superiore adscendentia. Antherae biloculares, loculis 

 divergentibus vel denuun divaricatis. Stylus apice clavatus, breviter bifidus, lobis clavato-divaricatis vel 

 lunatis. Achenia carnosa. Verticillastra racemosa vel paniculata, foliis floralibus bracteiformibus. 



2. Phyllostegia Chamissonis ; glaberrima, foliis petiolatis ovatis acuminatis serrato-crena- 

 tis basi rotundatis, floralibus minoribus sessilibus, racemis subpaniculatis, pedunculis utrinque 

 elongatis trifidis, calycis elongato-turbinati dentibus brevibus obtusis erectis, corolla calyce 

 triplo longiore, styli lobis clavatis, superiore sub recto tenuiore. Benth. in Linncea, v. 6. p. 81. 



The corolla is about an inch and a quarter long, being almost as large as in P. yrandiflora, but it is glabrous 

 and not pubescent.
