loidea, valvata. Petala 0 v. sepalis breviora et gradatim in stamina abeuntia, Carpella oo, uni- 
ovulata, Ovulum pendulum. Achenia capitata, sessilia y. vix stipitata, apice stylo persistente nudo 
v. barbato caudata,—Frutices suffrutices vel herbie, caule erecto v. scandente ; foliis oppositis, ternatim 
pimnatimve plurifoliolatis v. rarius simplicibus, petiolo spe volubili nec in cirrhnm mutato; flo- 
ribus axillaribus terminalibusve, solitariis v. paniculatis, ebracteolatis v. rarius 2-bracteolatis, szepius, 
preesertim in speciebus hemisphzerii australis tropicisve, polygamo-dioicis. 
1, C. Pickeringii, A, Gray, Bot. Wilkes, p. 1; scandens; foliis ternatis, foliolis membranaceis 
ovatis y. subcordatis acuminatis integerrimis 5-nerviis laxe venosis glabris; floribus paniculatis dioicis, 
pedunculis 3—-7-floris, sepalis (albis) lineari-oblongis obtusis sericeis, petalis nullis, antheris glanduloso- 
apiculatis, acheniis barbato-caudatis—Ovalau (U, 8. Expl, Exped.), Vanua Levu (Seemann! n, 1),

thinks it may be a variety. The sepals are only half as long as those of C. stenosepala, thicker, and obtuse.
