168 FLORA VITIENSIS. 
bekakairaga.”—Viti Levu, in ponds (Seemann! n. 323). Also collected in New Caledonia (For- 
oe : : 
ster !) and the East Indies. ” 
The plant distributed by Hooker and Thomson under the provisional name of L. Kleinianum cenrRe 
be Grisebach’s plant, as the seeds are muricate. The plant figured by me agrees in every ea poi 
with L. Kleinianum, and I have therefore referred it to that species. if future ete oe ring 
to light any distinction between this Polynesian species and L. Kleinianum, let it be named Z. forsters, . 
as it was first discovered, during the last century, by Forster in New Caledonia, and referred by him to 
Menyanthes. It is, therefore, not a recent introduction, as Pickering supposes. M‘Gillivray collected a 
Limnanthemum in Aneitum, New Hebrides, which may possibly belong to this species, but it wants ripe fruit.

Besides the species described or alluded to below, there is, in tropical Polynesia, Heliotropium 
Curassavicum, Linn., from the Sandwich Islands (D. Nelson ! Macrae |), Heliotropium anomalum, Hook. et 
Arn. (Lithospermum incanum, Forst. Prodr, n. 63 ; Icon. (ined.) t. 85; Pentacarya heliotropiowdes, DC.), 
from Savage Island (Forster!). Keou or George Island (W. Anderson!), and Modoo and Palmerston 
Islands (D. Nelson!), as well as the variety argentewm, A. Gray, from the Sandwich Islands (D. Nelson bs 
and Tournefortia gnaphalioides, R. Brown, (Heliotropium gnaphalioides, Linn.), from the Society Islands 
(Lay and Collie !).

Besides the two species enumerated below, there is in tropical Polynesia C. dichofoma, Forst. Prodr. n. 
110; R. Brown, Prodr. p. 498, from New Caledonia (Herb. Mus. Brit, ! probably collected by Forster) and 
the east coast of New Holland (R. Brown!). The leaves are crenate and lepidote underneath, whilst the 
calyx is smooth. It is altogether different from the plant regarded by Sprengel as Forster’s OC. dichotoma.
