menta in tubum liberum connata. Antlierm cohserentes, duse inferioi’es bai’b.ate, caeterse glabrae. Stigma 
bilobiim ; lobis planis, crassis, cartilagineis, rotundatis, divaricatis, imberbibus. Fmctus immatiirus. 
From the appearance of this pLant we may presume it to be either shrubby or suffruticose. The flowers 
are of a whitish coloiu’, but were probably bluish when recent.

1. Scaevola Gaudichaudi ; fruticosa erecta glabra, foliis spathulato-lanceolatis acutis 
integerrimis, axillis barbatis, pedunculis axillaribus folio multoties brevioribus unifloris, 
corolla glabra, drupis ovalibus urceolo 5-dentato coronatis bilocularibus dispermis, bracteolis 
linearibus. — S. montana? Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 460. 
In the specimen before us, the leaves are not falcate ; but there is no other essential difference between 
it and the plant of Gaudichaud. We regret we cannot retain the name applied to it by that Botanist, as there 
is a previous S. montana of LabiUardiere. 
2. Scssvola Chamissoniana ; fruticosa erecta glabra, foliis oblongis utrinque acuminatis 
argute denticulatis, axillis barbatis, pedunculis axillaribus dicliotomis folium subaequan- 
tibus, floribus dichotomiarum sessilibus, calycibus abbreviatis, 5-dentatis, corollis pubescen- 
tibus, drupis bilocularibus. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 461. t. 82. 
In oim specimen, the corolla is scai’cely pubescent, and is smaller than as exhibited in Gaudichaud’s 
figure. 
3. Scaevola glabra ; fruticosa erecta glabra, foliis cuneato-obovatis oblique acuminulatis 
longe petiolatis obscure et remote glanduloso-denticulatis, axillis barbatis, pedunculis axil- 
laribus unifloris petiolo dimidio brevioribus nudis, corolla glabra, calycis dentibus tubum 
aequantibus. 
This species appears, at first sight, very nearly allied to S. Chamissoniana, but the inflorescence is totally 
different. The leaves are almost entire, only exhibiting a few distant very minute glandular teeth. There are 
no bracteas, apparently, on the peduncle ; but at the same time, a decided scar is to be seen at the base of the 
calyx, on both sides, which seems to indicate that they may have been present at a very early period. The 
corolla is much larger than in the last species. The petiole is about an inch, or an inch and a half long. 
4. Sceevola mollis; fruticosa erecta dense pubescens, foliis oblongo-lanceolatis supra 
glabris subtus sericeo-tomentosis petiolatis glanduloso-denticulatis, axillis barbatis, pedun- 
culis petiolo brevioribus axillaribus divaricatis, ramis flexuosis paucifloris, bracteolis sub- 
ulatis recurvis, corolla sericeo-tomentosa, calycis dentibus 5 brevissimis obtusis. 
Very closely allied to S. sericea, Forst., but, as we thinlt, perfectly distinct. The whole plant is so 
extremely fragile, that there is not an entire specimen in the Collection. Besides these four species, we also 
possess S. Konigii from the same islands, gathered by Mi’. Macrae.

1. Cyathodes Tameiameim ; corollee laciniis barbatis, drupa 5-8-loculari, foliis anguste 
cuneato-obovatis petiolulatis mucronulatis subtus multinervibus. Cham, et Schlecht. in 
Linnesa, v. \. p. 539. 
That the present, although only in fruit, is truly the plant of Chamisso, we have satisfied ourselves by a 
comparison of it with specimens sent us by that Botanist; but we are by no means certain whether C. Banksii
