Endemic. 
2. G. S]). 
(1479 Ahern’s collector) August; (2041 Borden). In thickets on bluffs by 
the seashore; in fruit only. Considered by Mr. Elmer to be a distinct, unde- 
scribed species of Gardenia, but the material, with fruit only, is too imperfect to 
warrant a description.

(1061 Whitford) January; (1374, 2928 Borden) July, March. In forests 130 
to 500 m., considered by Mr. Elmer to be a distinct undescribed species, but the 
material is too imperfect to warrant description at this time.

Bentham a'nd Hooker f. are frequently cited as the authority for the transfer 
of this species to Plectronia, but they only indicated and did not actually make 
the transfer. K. Schumann is the proper authority.

lirown or gray. Leaves opposite, glabrous, sid)Coriaceous, elliptical-ovate to ovate
