1. Exocarpus cupressiformis ; caule arboi’eo, ramulis teretiusculis, spicis pedunculatis, 
foliis minutis denticuliformibus triangularibus patulis. Br. Prodr. FI. Nov. Holl. p. 356. 
Spreng. Syst. Veget. v. \. p. 826. 
The specimens in the Collection are imperfect, but they accord so precisely with others from New Holland 
in our herbarium, that we can scarcely entertain any doubt of their being the same species.

1. Euphorbia caule erecto herbaceo, ramis villosis, foliis oppositis ovato-oblongis 
acutis serrulatis hirsutis, floribus aggregatis, glomerulis axillaribus pedunculatis. Linn . — 
Jacq. Coll. Suppl. t. 11. 1. Sp7-eng. Syst. Veget. v. 3. p. 793. Bunn. %eyl. t. 104. 
2. Euphorbia myrtifolia; caule inermi fruticoso ramoso, foliis late ovatis oppositis acutis 
obsolete serratis membranaceis glabris, pedicellis axillaribus brevibus divisis paucifloris, 
involucri glandulis rotundatis integerrimis. 
We cannot refer this to any knorni species. 
3. Euphorbia multifonrvis ; caule inermi fruticoso ramoso, foliis oppositis ellipticis 
obtusis integerrimis membranaceis glabris subtus pallidis purpureo-venosis, floribus 
axillaribus terminalibusque solitariis sessilibus, involucri glandulis rotundatis integerrimis. 
Gaud, in Fi'eyc. Voy. p. 100? (absque descriptione. ) 
If we be right in referring this to the plant alluded to by Gaudichaud, it must be a very variable species ; 
that Botanist remarking that in elevated situations, it forms a small tree, the trunk of which is three or four 
inches in diameter; but, in descending, is found smaller; till at last, in low cultivated places, it is only 
suffruticose or even herbaceous. 
4. Euphorbia clusicefolia ; caule inermi fruticoso ramoso, foliis oppositis oblongo-ellipticis 
obtusis integerrimis coriaceis glabris subtus aveniis, pedunculis axillaribus bifidis. 
The specimen before us is in an imperfect state : resembling in habit certain Peperomice, particularly P. 
clusiafolia. The above species of Euphorbia were only observed in Oahu. 
1. Phyllanthus distichus; caule fruticoso, ramulis ancipitibus pinnseformibus, foliis 
oblongis acutiusculis subtus pallidioribus, pedunculis subsolitariis capillaribus cernuis folio 
quater brevioribus. 
Allied to P. rliamnoides and P. cernuus, but not agreeing with either. The branches below the leaves 
are almost cylindrical, but, nearer the extremity, they are more compressed and two-edged. The bark is 
slightly rugose. The leaves vary from one to two inches in length. 
1. Aleurites triloba ; foliis cordato-ovatis subtus subfarinaceis basi biglanduliferis junioribus 
tricuspidatis adultioribus subangulatis, corymbis (masculis) dichotomis. Spr . — “ Forst.

1. XJrticn gt'andis ; caule fruticoso, foliis oppositis cordato-ovatis grosse serratis rugosis 
supra pubescenti-scabris subtus glabris, petiolis venisque foliorum pubescentibus, stipulis 
oblongo-lanceolatis magnis caducis, paniculis axillaribus pedunculatis subsimplicibus, ramis 
filiformibus interrupte floriferis. 
The panicles are not more than half the length of the leaf, including the petiole. It appears most allied 
to U. liastata, Forst.
