The leaves are so membranaceous, that this species may perhaps belong' to the genus Piper: the speci- 
mens in the Collection ai’e not, however, in a state to enable us to determine that point. 
5. Peperomia tetraphylla ; caule sulcato ramoso repente, foliis quaternis stellatis rhombeo- 
rotunclatis subtus convexis brevissime petiolatis glabris, spicis terminalibus solitariis ebrac- 
teatis. — Piper tetrapbyllum. “ Forst. Prodr. n. 25.” ? — P. reflexum. Vahl. — Spreng. Syst. 
Veget. v. 1. p. 121 ? 
We are very doubtful of the synonyms : it is certainly not P. rhombea, Ruiz et Pav., which Sprengel 
refers to Piper reflexum. It has much the appearance of some species of Rubia.

Ord. XLVII. ASPHODELE^. Br. 
1. Dianella Sandwicensis ; foliis radicalibus lineari-ensiformibus carina marginibusque 
Isevibus, panicula decomposita, ramis ramulisque divaricatis, pedicellis laxe racemosis 
arcuatis secundis peidantbium subsequantibus. 
Gaudichaud appears also to have found this species ; but he has given neither specific name nor character. 
It is very closely allied to D. divaricata. Brown. 
1. Dracaena terminalis; caule fruticoso vel arborescente, foliis petiolatis lanceolatis 
utrinque attenuatis, paniculae ramis divaricatis simplicibus ramosisve, floribus subsessilibus.

Gaudichaud met with a species also in Oahu, which he has described under the name of A. veratroides, 
having the leaves tomentose on both sides. It may, however, be merely a variety. 
Ord. XLIX. PANDANE^. Br. 
1. Freycinetia scandens; caudice scandente, foliis lineari-lanceolatis membranaceis, 
spadicibus foemineis ovatis, stigmate trilobo. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 432. 
Our specimens are without flower and fi-uit. This genus appears to be the same as that alluded to by 
Mr. Brown, from Norfolk Island, and is distinguished from Pandanus as follows : — Flores dioici. Fcem. ; 
Pericarpia baccata, mollia, per paria interdum connata, unilocularia ; placentae 4-14, parietales, per paiia 
approximatse. Semina crebeirima, minuta, fusiformia, striata, altero latere strophiola longitudinaU instructa.
