L. scabra, DO. (Echites scabra, Labill. Sert, Austr, Cal. t. 31; Thenardia scabra, Spr.), \s confined to 
New Caledonia (Labillardiéve) and Hromanga, New Hebrides (M‘Gillivray!), and is the only species 
besides the follawing one as yeb found in tropical Polynesia, unless a twining plant, of which I collected the 
leaves only, and distributed under n, 315, should prove acongener. It is a hairy plant, and certainly is wot, 
as Asa Gray at one time suspected, identical with Z. levis.
