Very closely allied to A. odoratissimus. Brown, (which comprehends the Unona esculenta and U. uncin- 
ata of Dunal, and Uvaria odoratissima, Roxb. FI. Ind. v. 2. p. 666,) but apparently distinct by the shape 
of the fruit, which in A, odoratissimus is rounded at the apex. Our friend Dr. Wight, however, informs us 
that he has observed the fruit vary so very much on the same plant in India, as to leave considerable doubts 
how far both species are not identical. Fine specimens are communicated by Mr. MUlett. 
1, Guatteria rufa; foliis ovalibus acuminulatis basi subcordatis subtus ramulisque laifo- 
tomentosis, pedunculis brevissimis lateralibus vel oppositifoliis, petalis sequalibiis, baccis 
subglobosis. — Dunal. Annon. p. 129. t. 29. 
Lappas Islands. Mr. Vachell. Mr. MUlett. 
Ord. V. MENISPERMACEZE. 
1. Cocculus? diantherus; ramis petiolis pedunculisque subsericeo-villosis, foliis ovatis 
obtusis mucronulatis basi truncatis nunc subtrilobo-hastatis utrinque pilis raids pubescentibus 
demum glabriusculis, floribus inasculis paniculatisj staminibus 6, antliera quadriloculari e 
duabus conflata. 
The panicle is sometimes not much longer than the petiole, but appears also on the same specimen to be 
elongated; in the latter state, however, it seems to be a young branch from which the leaves have dropped 
off from the base of the true panicles. We have only seen the male flowers: the anthers are as in Menis- 
permum, but the flower is divided in a ternary manner, as in Cocculus. We have also received it from 
Lappas Island, from Mr. Millett and from Mr. Vachell, from whom we have likewise the very nearly allied 
C. ovalifolius. 
Ord. VI. CAPPARIDE^. Juss. 
1. Capparis Lam.? 
The few leaves we have seen are scarcely acute, although acuminated. The spines are very short. Pedi- 
cells axillary, one-flowered, usually solitary. We have received from Mr. Millett specimens of a Capparis 
which we presume may be the C. Cantonensis, Lour. Of this Order too, we possess Polynesia viscosa, 
both from Mr. Millett and Mr. Vachell, gathered on the Peninsula. 
Ord. vie DROSERACE^. De Land. 
1. Drosera Loureirii; foliis oblongo-spathulatis in petiolum subaeque longum pilosum 
attenuatis, scapo ascendente elongate pluri-(5-15)-floro folia multo excedente versus apicem 
calyceque glanduloso-pubescentibus, pedicellis calycem tequantibus, seminibus exarillatis. 
(Tab. XXXL) — D. rotundifolia. Lour. Cochin, v. \. p. 233. — D. Burmanni. De Cand. 
Prodr. V. p. 318. (quoad specimen Chinense.) 
This plant dilFers widely from all the forms of D. Burmanni^ by the shape of the leaves and petioles, 
and from D. rotundifolia by the want of an arillus to the seed. The leaves are intermediate between 
D. brevifolia, Pursh, and D. intermedia, Drev. et Hayn. : the petiole, however, is pilose and ciliated, w ith 
hairs similar to those on the limb. Willdenow, in his edition of Loureiro, among the corrigenda at p. 883, 
remarks, “ Drosera rotundifolia, a Burmanno depicta, ah Europsea nostra differe videtur. Possideo specimen 
hujus plantee siccum, quod alio loco et tempore fusius describam.” If Willdenow has reclaimed his 
promise, we have not been able to ascertain the work in which he has done so, and therefore have proposed 
the above specific name.
