Ord. III. PITTOSPORE^. Brown, 
1. Pittosporum paucijlorum. Hook, et Arn. supra p. 168. — /3? foliis obtusis, petalis 
duplo longioribus, fructu trivalvi. 
Hab. p,, Loo Choo (in fruit) ; Bonin (in flower). — Our var. a, from China, appears to us to be the Cortex 
filarius of Rumph. Amb. l.p. 13. t. 7 ; but is very different from the P.ferrugineum of Alton. 
Ord. IV. CARYOPHYLLEiE. Juss. 
1. Dianthus Chinensis. Linn. — Var. floribus subaggregatis. 
Hab. Loo Choo. 
1. Avenai'isi serpyllifolia. Linn . — Thunb. FI. Jap. p. 186. 
Hab. Loo Choo. 
2. A. procumhens. Vahl, ? — Var. angustifolia. 
Hab. Loo Choo. — Of this only a small fragment exists in the collection ; it may prove to be a new species, 
its leaves being subulate : like some specimens of the true A. procumhens, the habit is that of A. media, but 
there are no scariose stipules. The capsule is 5-valved. 
Ord. V. MALVACE^. Juss. 
1. Hibiscus JRosa-sinensis. Linn. 
Hab. Loo Choo. 
1. Paritium tiliaceum. S. HU. — Hibiscus tiliaceus. Linn. — /3 ? foliis utrinque glabris 
basi rotundatis. 
Hab. a. Loo Choo. — /3, Bonin. — The specimens of both are very imperfect ; we have doubts if p be not a 
distinct species ; the structure of the flower, calyx, and involucel, however, do not differ from the usual form 
of the plant. 
1. Sida alba. Linn. — Wight and Arn, Prod. FI. Penins. Ind. Or. 1. p. 58. , 
Hab. Loo Choo. — Better specimens of our Sida rhombifolia, from China, (vide supra p. 169), prove our 
plant to be S. microphylla. Cav. 
Ord. VI. EL^OCARPEiE. "Juss. 
1. Elaeocarpus photinicefolius ; arborescens, foliis petiolatis alternis cuneato-oblongis 
subacuminatis serratis, serraturis incurvis acutis, axillis subtus glanduliferis, petiolis

plurimis, antheris apice barbulatis. (Tab. LIII.) 
Hab. Bonin.
