1. A. soulameoides, A, Gray, Bot. Wilkes, p. 356, t, 40.—Macuata coast of Vanua Levu 
(U. S. Expl. Exped.), Viti Levu (Storck! n. 880). 
Storek’s specimens are in fruit only, showing the persistent female flowers, which aré 5-merous. I 
should call the leaves 1-foliolate rather than simple, there being a distinct articulation, 
The allied Soulamea amara, Lam. Dict. vol. i, p. 449; Endl. Ann. Wien, Mus. 1886, t. 16 (Cardophora 
Hindsii, Benth. in Hook. Lond, Journ. vol. ii, p. 216), has not been collected in the Viti group, as stated 
in Bentham and Hooker's Genera; Barclay (n. 3542) found it in New Ireland, as correctly stated by 
Bentham in the Journal quoted. ; 
Suriana maritima, Linn. Spec. 284, has not yet been found in Viti, but it may be expected to oceur, 
having been gathered in the Tongan (Harvey!) and Socivty Islands (Lay and Collie!) ; also in several small 
islands off New Caledonia (Forster! W. Anderson! Milne!), in the Dangerous Archipelago (Barclay !), 
and at Point Look-Out, Hast Australia (J. Banks !).
