4.30 FLORA VITIENSIS. 
My 1. portlandioides, which is n. 850 (not, as by a misprint of mine, 890) of Vieillard’s collection, is 
G. campanulata, Brongn. et Gris, in Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr, 1865, p. 405, 
Lindenia, Benth. Supra, p. 128. 
L. Vitiensis, Seem., has been found by Dr, Greffe in the Samoan Islands, and by the Freneh collectors 
in New Caledonia, where also a second species (L. Austro-Culedonteca, Brongn. et Gris, Bull. Soe, Bot. Fr- 
1865, p. 407, et in Ann. Se. Nat. (Bot.) 1866, p, 258) has been met with by Pancher in 1862, and also by 
Vieillard (his n. 651); so that now three species of this genus are known. The American JZ. rivalis, 
Benth., I have recently collected at Barquito, Port of Corinto, Nicaragua, aud also on the Bayano River, 
Isthmus of Panama, the latter being the most southern station as yet recorded. 
Coffea Arabica, Linn. 
Coffee will one day rank amongst the staple products of Viti, the mountain slopes of Viti Levu, Vanua 
Levu, and Kadavu, and, above all, those of the valley of Namosi, being well adapted for its growth. Several 
old Coffee-trees 1 found in the Rewa district, showing the plant to be not of recent introduction. Dr. 
Brower, the American consul, established a plantation on his estate at Wakaya, and, at the time of my 
visit, the late Mr. Binner, of Levuka (Ovalau), had in his garden a number of thriving seedlings. 
Guettarda, Vent. Supra, p. 131, read: “Ovula suspensa” instead of “erecto” in generic 
character. Conf. A. Gray, in Proceed. Am, Acad. 
COMPOSITZ. 
Myriogyne minuta, Less. Supra, p, 144.—Viti, locality not specified (Harvey !). 
Sonchus asper, Vill. Supra, p. 145, line 7 from above, read: “disco utrinque tristriatis,” 
instead of “ disci utrinque triaristatis,” 
MYRSINEZ:. 
Mesa nemoralis, DC, Supra, p. 148.—Viti, locality not specified (Harvey !). 
Mvesa persiceefolia, A, Gray. Supra, p. 148.—Viti, locality not specified (Harvey t). 
JASMINE. 
Jasminum australe, Pers. Supra, p. 154. 
Bentham (Fl. Austr. vol. iii. p. 296), who adopts all my synonyms of this species, which should bear 
Forster's (the oldest) name of J. simplicifolium, also refers to it J. acuminatum, RK. Brown, Prodr. 521, J. 
confusum, DC. Prodr. vol. viii. p. 309, and with some hesitation J. funale, Dene. Herb, Tim, p. 77. 
APOCYNEZ. 
Tabernzmontana orientalis, R. Br. Supra, p. 159. 
Bentham (Fl. Austr. vol. iv. p. 311) has some remarks on the synonymy of this plant, he believing it 
distinct from either T. orientalis, R. Br., and 7. Owningiana, De Cand. At first I held the same opinion, 
and gave the name of Z. Vitiensis to my Viti plant, but Asa Gray referred it (‘ Bonplandia,’ 1862, p. 37), 
though with hesitation, to 7. Cumingiana. I reconsidered the subject, and ultimately adopted the syna- 
nymy given above. 
Alstonia villosa, Seem. Supra, p. 161. 
There being an A. villosa of Blume, I now name my plant 4. Vitiensis, 
ASCLEPIADEZ:. 
Hoya Samoensis, Seem. Supra, p. 163, 
The Samoan vernacular name of this plant is “ Fue-ele-la.” See Powell in Journ. of Botany, 1568, 
p. 278 seq., for an account of this and other Samoan plants. 
GENTIANEZ. 
T have lately found in Nicaragua a genus of Gentianee with irregular (green) flowers, which modifies 
the ordinal character.
