From the imperfect state of the specimen before ns, we cannot affirm it pos.tively to be the p l a n ^ f De
Candofie. The leaves aro ovate, slightly coriaceous. 3-nerved, perfectly smooth, and quite entme ^ e pe-
dimeles are short scarcely an inch long, and very stout. The calyx ¡S-toothed, and spht up on one side by
^ sw e l l in g of the fr .d t,L in Do Candolle’s section Mani,m l The carpel, are
covered with fulvous hairs. Perhaps, then, this is a new spcc.es, and more closely alhed to /?. rbombjohm,

3-nerved, as in the specimen from Oahu. •

Found in Oahn, where it was also met with by Mr. Macrae. It differs prmeipaUy from S. vlmjo lm ot
Cavanilles, by the leaves being not acuminated and scarcely at all pubescent; hut we do uot consider it a
distinct species.
