FLORA VITIENSIS, 191 
erectis angusta; calyce cyathimorpho breviter et acute repando 5-dentato ; ealyce corollaque pube- 
rulis; stigmatis cruribus inequalibus acutis——Gmelina Vitiensis, Seem., Mission to Viti, p. 440.— 
Viti, locality not specified (Milne!), 
Milne collected oniy one specimen of this singular plant, all the leaves of which are truly simple; 
but it may be that the species has also compound leaves, like most of its congeners. The unequal lobes of 
the stigma point to a certain relationship with Gmelina, but all the other characters are those of a Pennine 
Vite. Petioles 6-12 lines long, Blade of leaf from 3-5 inches long, and 14-23 inches broad. Corolla 2- 
labiate, the upper lip 2-lobed, the lower 8-lobed, Calyx, corolla, and filaments covered with down. Anthers 
ovate. Ovary 4-celled. Ripe fruit unknown.

Orvo LXXI. LABIATAs, 
Four genera of Polynesian Labiate have as yet not been met with in Viti, viz. Sphacele, Coleus, Phylio- 
stegia, and Stenogyne. Sphacele is represented by S. hustata, A. Gray, in the Sandwich Islands (U. 8. Expl. 
Exped,); Coleus by O. scutellarioides, Benth. (Ocimum scutellarioides, Linn.) in Tana (Forster! M*Guilli- 
vray !) and Eromanga (M‘Gillivray !) ; the two other genera are confined to the Hawaiian Islands, and they 
have recently been revised by Asa Gray. Of Phyllostegia we have, 1, P. vestita, Benth, (2. dentata, Benth.), 
2, P. grandiflora, Benth. (Prasinum macrophyllum, Gaud. ?); 3, P. brevidens, A, Gray, et var. (2) ambiqua ; 
4, P. glabra, Benth, (P. Macraei et Chamissonis of Benth., Prasium glabrum, Gaud.) ; 3, P. hirsuta, Benth, ; 
6, P. parviflora, Benth., var. a. Gaudichaudi (P. parviflora, Benth.), var. B. glabriuscula (P. macrophylla, 
Benth. priesertim pl. Macraei), and var. y. mollis (P. mollis, Benth.) ; 7, P. stachyoides, A. Gray; 8, P. cla- 
vata, Benth.; 9, P. racemosa, Benth.; 10, P. haplostachya, A. Gray, and var. B. leptostachya; 11, P. trun- 
cata, A. Gray; and 12, P. floribunda, Benth. Of Stenogyne we haye, 1, 8. macrantha, Benth.; 2, 8. rotun- 
difolia, A. Gray ; 3, S. cordata, Benth. ; 4, 8. sessilis, Benth.; 5, S. calaminthoides, A, Gray ; 6, 8. scrophu-

angustifolia, A, Gray; 9, 8. microphylla, Benth.; 10, 8. crenata, A. Gray; and 11, S. diffusa, A. Gray.
