We regret that the imperfect condition of our specimens mU not allow us to offer any remarks upon this 
little known plant. 
Ord. X. RHAMNEj35. Juss. 
1. Pomaderris ziziphoides ; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis integerrimis coriaceis supra glabris 
nitidis subtus reticulatis incano-tomentosis, venis rufidulis, ramulis foliisque junioribus dense 
ferrugineo-pubescentibus, petalis calycem asquantibus. — Rhamnus ziziphoides. Spr. — De 
Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 27. 
Folia 3-4 uncias longa, supra (siccitate) intense fusca, nitida, parallelun oblique venosa, subtus inter 
venas reticulata. Flores mediocres in corymhis axillai-ibus foho breviorihus. Calyx extus tomentosus: 
tubus ovario truncate adherens. Stylus biiidus, ad basin villosus. Fructus baccatus, ater, mag-nitudine 
seminis Fisi sativi. Cocci et Sonina omnino ut in Pomaderridece. 
This was on the same paper with Commersmia echinata, and is probably therefore a native of Tahiti. It 
seems to be the Rhamnus ziziphoides of Sprengel ; but its character, and its habit too, accord best with 
Pomaderris. 
1. Ceanothus Asiaticus. Linn. — Cav. Ic. v. 5. t. 440. f. 1. De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 30. 
— Celastriis capsularis. “ Forst. Prodr. n. 112.” De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 32. — Colubrina 
Asiatica. Brong. 
Brongniart is of the same opinion with ourselves, that the Celastrus capsularis of Forster is identical 
with the Ceanothus Asiaticus of Linnaeus.

Ord. XL SAMYDE^E. Gcertn. 
1. Caseaxia, impunctata ; foliis oblongo-ellipticis breve petiolatis coriaceis basi apiceque 
acutis obsolete dentatis glabris nitidis impunctatis, pedunculis brevibus glomeratis axillari- 
bus, calyce 5-partito, stam. fertdibus 10, stylo elongato, stigmatibus tribus capitatis. 
Of this only one specimen exists in the Collection, whose flowers agree with those of Casearia, but the 
pellucid dots in the leaves, alluded to by Mr. Brorni as charactei-istic of the Order Samydece, do not appear. 
The stigmas are very distinct and capitate.
