Ord. III. PITTOSPORE^. Brown. 



1. Pittosporum pauciflorum. Hook, et Am. supra p. 168. — /3? foliis obtusis, petalis 

 duplo longioribus, fructu trivalvi. 



Hab. /3, Loo Choo (in fruit) ; Bonin (in flower). — Our var. a, from China, appears to us to be the Cortex 

 filarius of Rumph. Amb. 7. p. 13. t. 7 ; but is very different from the P.ferrugineum of Aiton. 



Ord. IV. CARYOPHYLLE^. Juss. 

 1. Dianthus Chinensis. Linn. — Var. floribus subao-gregatis. 



DO O 



Hab. Loo Choo. 



1. Arenaria serpyllifolia. Linn. — Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 186. 

 Hab. Loo Choo. 



2. A. procumbens. Vahl, ? — Var. angustifolia. 



Hab. Loo Choo. — Of this only a small fragment exists in the collection ; it may prove to be a new species, 

 its leaves being subulate : like some specimens of the true A. procumbens, the habit is that of A. media, but 

 there are no scariose stipules. The capsule is 5-valved. 



Ord. V. MALVACE^). Juss. 



1. Hibiscus Rosa-sinensis. Linn. 

 Hab. Loo Choo. 



1. Paritium tiliaceum. S. Hil. — Hibiscus tiliaceus. Linn. — /3? foliis utrinque glabris 

 basi rotundatis. 



Hab. a, Loo Choo. — 0, Bonin. — The specimens of both are very imperfect ; we have doubts if f> be not a 

 distinct species ; the structure of the flower, calyx, and involucel, however, do not differ from the usual form 

 of the plant. 



1. Sida alba. Linn. — Wight and Am. Prod. Fl. Penins. Ind. Or. 1. p. 58. 



Hab. Loo Choo. — Better specimens of our Sida rhombifolia, from China, (vide supra p. 169), prove our 

 plant to be S. microphylla. Cav. 



Ord. VI. EL^OCARPE^. "Juss. 



1. Elaeocarpus photinicefolius ; arborescens, foliis petiolatis alternis cuneato-oblongis 

 subacuminatis serratis, serraturis incurvis acutis, axillis subtus glanduliferis, petiolis 

 eglandulosis, racemis simplicibus ex axillis hornotinis folia subaequantibus, staminibus 

 plurimis, antheris apice barbulatis. (Tab. LIII.) 



Hab. Bonin.
