Dr. Grisebach has refen-ed the first-mentioned specimen to 
Bourreria Domingensis, the second to B. tomentosa., and the 
third to B. calophylla, all which species differ extremely from 
the species under consideration, which is well marked by the 
characters above given. The leaves in the Jamaica specimen 
are a little broader and more rounded at the apex ; but they 
are all in like manner much cuneated at the base. The drupe 
is smaller than in Crematomia calophylla ; but its achenia 
prove that it belongs to the same genus, and not to Bourreria, 
certainly not to either of the above-mentioned species. Its 
leaves are 2^-4 inches long, 1^-21 inches broad, on a petiole 
4-7 lines long.
