In the large group Polynesiae of C. B. Clarke there is only one species, 
C. compressa C. B. Clarke from Savai, Samoan Islands, to which C. Cur- 
ranii can be compared, and externally it has several points of resemblance. 
Clarke’s species, however, has a small, nearly glabrous calyx and glabrous 
ovaries and fruits.
