FLORA VITIENSIS. 31 
“ Uci” et “ Sacasaca.”—Very generally diffused in the group, and frequently planted (Seemann! n. 
91 et 92; Barclay! Sir BE. Home! U.S, Expl. Exped.). Also collected in the Samoan (U. 8. Expl. 
Exped.) and Tongan Islands (D. Nelson! Forster !), Amsterdam Island (Herb, Mus. Brit.), Uvea or 
Wallis Isl. (Sir BE, Home! Greetfe '), Tana (W, Anderson! Forster !), and New Guinea (A. Richard). 
Forster’s authentic specimens include the narrow-leaved form which A. Richard has distinguished 
as @ separate species (7, longifolia); and I follow him, because both the narrow and broad-leaved forms 
often occur on the same shrub, and the flowers are arranged either in simple racemes or in cymes more or 
less compound. 
The plant is highly esteemed by the natives on account of its flowers, and is used for scenting the 
cocoa-nut oil which they apply to their naked bodies. The scent, like that of many Ltutacee, is overpower- 
ing, and appreciated only by those Europeans who can enjoy patchouli, musks, and odours of a similar 
sickly category.
