432 FLORA VITIENSIS. 
VERBENACEZ:. 
Faradaya. Supra, p. 188. 
A new species of this was found by Powell in the Samoan Islands, viz. F. Powelli, Seem. Journ. of 
Bot. 1868. 
LABIATE:. 
Ocimum gratissimum, Linn. Supra, p. 191.—Island of Lakeba (Harvey !). 
Teucrium inflatum, Sw. Supra, p. 193.—Viti, locality not specified (Harvey !). 
LAURACE:. 
An additional Polynesian member of this Order was collected in the Hawaiian Islands (Oreodaphne 
Kaaiiensis, Mann; Statistics and Geogr. Range of Hawaiian Plants, in Seem. Journ. Bot. 1869, p. 177). 
THYMELAACEA:. 
Wikstroemia foetida, var. Vitiensis, A. Gray. 
According to Powell, the ‘‘ Mati” of the Samoan group is not this plant, but a species of the genus 
Ficus. 
EUPHORBIACE. 
Phyllanthus ramifiorus, Miill. Arg. Supra, p. 218,—Viti, locality not specified (Harvey !). 
Acalypha Wilkesiana, Miill. Arg. Supra, p. 225. 
This has lately been observed in New Caledonia. I introduced it into our gardens, where it is now 4 
vreat favourite on account of its foliage. 
Acalypha insulana, Miill. Arg. Supra, p. 225.—Viti, locality not specified (Harvey !). 
URTICACE. 
Sponia velutina, Planch. Supra, p. 235.—Nadi, Island of Vanua Levu (Harvey !). 
Laportea Vitiensis, Seem. Supra, p. 239. 
Weddell (De Cand. Prodr. vol. xvi. sect. i. p. 83) united this with the allied L. photiniphylla, Wedd., 
though the venation of the leaves is altogether different. 
Pellionia filicoides, Seem. Supra, p. 239. 
This plant Weddell has enumerated twice in De Candolle’s Prodr. 1, ¢., at p. 168 under Pellionia, and 
at p. 188, under Hlatostema. He thinks P. Vitiensis, A. Gray, which I referred as a synonym to this 
species, holding the specimen of it in the Kew herbarium to be a young plant, to be a distinct species, 
though closely allied. Until more specimens come to hand, the point cannot be decided satisfactorily. 
P. 240, after Pellionia filicoides, add: 
3. Pellionia australis, Wedd. in De Cand. Prodr. vol. xvi, sect. i. p. 169; dioica ; foliis sub- 
oppositis admodumque disparibus, in quoque jugo altero amplo elliptico subabrupte et anguste acu- 
minato basi obtuso v. acuminato fere in toto margine inzequaliter serrato 3-plinervio nervis subtus 
hirtulis, altero abortivo minimo fere deltoideo seu acute 3-lobo ; cymis ¢ densifloris, pedunculatis, 
pedunculo quam petiolus folii majoris longiore.—Island of Ovalau (Vieillard) in Herb. Lenormand, 
Cypholophus macrocephalus, Wedd. Supra, p. 243. 
The Samoan name of this plant is “O le Fau pata,” not “O le Tau pata,” as misspelt ; and one kind 
of fine mat made of the bark of this species is called “Ie-sina’”’ (not “ Jesina,” or “je-sima,”” as incorrectly 
written by me). 
Weddell (De Cand. Prodr. vol. xvi, sect. i. p. 235/11) separates one of his varieties of C. macro- 
Phy ae (viz. heterophyllus, my Baehmeria Harveyi) as a distinct species, which he terms 0. heterophyllus, 
Vedd.
