Ord. XXXVI. CONVOLVULACE.E. Juss. 

 1. Ipomaaa reptans. Chois. — Hab. Loo Choo. 



In these specimens the leaves are more cordate and less hastate than in the common form of the plant. 

 1. Evolvulus hirsutus. Lam. — Chois. Conv. Or.}}. 114. — Hab. Bonin. 



Ord. XXXVII. EHRETIACEiE. Mart. 



1. Carmona heterophylla. Cav. Ic. 5. t. 438. — Ehretia heterophylla. Spr. — Hab. Loo 

 Choo and Bonin. 



To this genus, as has been already observed by Adr. de Jussieu, Ehretia buxifolia likewise belongs; the 

 ovary contains six cells. 



Ord. XXXVIII. BORAGINEiE. Juss. 

 1. Echinospermum javanicum. Lehm. — Hab. Loo Choo. 



Ord. XXXIX. SOLANEtE. Juss. 



1. Solanum biflorum. Lour. — Hab. Loo Choo. 



2. S. Melongena. Linn. — Hab. Loo Choo. 



1. Physalis angulata. Linn. — Hab. Loo Choo. 



1. Lycium chinense. Mill. — L. Barbarum, var. chinense. Auct. — Lam. III. t. \\2. f.2. 

 - — Hab. Loo Choo. 



The five teeth of the calyx are nearly equal and equidistant, but there is nevertheless a tendency to being 

 disposed into two lips, the one bifid, the other trifid. We have, therefore, doubts if L. Barbarum, chinense, 

 and Trewianum, are really specifically distinct. 



Ord. XL. SCROPHULARINEiE. 



1. Vandellia Crustacea. Benth. — Vide supra, p. 202. — Hab. Bonin. 



1. Veronica Anagallis. Linn. — V. undulata. Wall. — Hab. Loo Choo. 



1. Buddleia curviflora; ramis teretiusculis subtomentosis, foliis tenui-membranaceis 

 ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis subdentatis supra glabris subtus pubescentibus demum 

 glabris, racemis terminalibus elongatis, pedunculis pauci-(3-10-)floris, corolla? tubo 

 elongato apice supra antheras incurvo. — Hab. Loo Choo. 



Perhaps this may be B. acuminata of Poiret ; but he could scarcely have omitted to mention the singular 

 incurvation of the corolla, precisely similar to what is seen in the genus Struja. Poiret also says that the 

 panicle is short ; here the raceme is six to eight inches long.
