In the British Museum herbarium are authentic specimens of 9. saligna, Forst, Prodr. n. 505, from 
New Caledonia (Forster! W. Anderson !), which show that species, of which Forster published merely the 
name and native country, to be identical with 8. montana, Labill. t. 42, non Gaud. This reduces the 
Scevolas of tropical Polynesia to nine, there being, besides those deseribed below, (1) 8. gracilis, Hook. fil. 
Linn. Proceed. vol. i. p. 129, from the Kermandee group (M‘Gillivray !); (2) 8. corzacea, Nutt., from the 
Hawaiian Islands (Dav. Nelson!) ; (8) S. Gaudichaudi, Hook. et Arn. (non Gaudichaudiana, Cham.), from 
the same group; (4) S. Chamissoniana, Gaud, Freye. t. $2 (S. Alenziesiana, Cham.), also from the Sandwich 
Tslands (Menzies! Nelson! Barclay! Seemann!); and (5) S. mollis, Hook. et Arn., and (6) 8. glabra, Hook,
