Gray, from the Samoan Islands; P. speciosa, Forst., from the Society Islands, and several other species, of 
which the materials are not sufficient for aceurate determination. P. speciosa, Forst, Prodr. n. 89, et Icon. 
Cned.) t. 50, (Cephaélis speciosa, Spreng. Syst, vol, 1 p. 749,) is a very distinet species, probably a new 
genus, of which, however, the materials existing at the British Museum are insuflicient for closer investi- 
gition, and I have not seen it in any other herbarium,
