7. Coriarieæ. 9. Coriaria ruscifolia, L. Sunday Island; abundant, especially in the large craterbasin. New Zealand. 10. Coriaria thymifolia, Humb. Recorded from the Kermadec Islands by Sir J. D. Hooker in the “Handbook of the New Zealand Flora,” p. 47; but not mentioned in his paper printed in the “Journal of the Linnean Society” (vol. i., Botany, p. 125). I did not observe it, and judging from its distribution in New Zealand it does not seem a likely plant to occur in the islands. New Zealand; America, from Mexico to Peru. 8. Leguminosæ. 11. *Canavalia obtusifolia, D.C. Stems long, prostrate or climbing, glabrous, or the young shoots silky-pubescent. Leaves trifoliate; leaflets obovate or orbicular, obtuse, 2–4 inches long, texture firm. Flowers in axillary racemes, rather large, pinkish. Upper lip of calyx very large, with two broad rounded lobes; lower lip small, three-lobed. Standard orbicular, ¾ inch diameter; keel curved, obtuse. Pod about 4 inches long by nearly 1 inch broad; seeds 3 to 6. Scrambling over rocks and shrubs on Meyer Island, an outlying rock on the north side of Sunday Island. Mr. Bell informed me that it occurs in some bays on the east side of Sunday Island. Norfolk Island, Lord Howe's Island, tropical Australia, and a common sea-coast plant in many parts of Polynesia, South America, Africa, and tropical Asia. 9. Rosaceæ 12. Acœna sanguisorbœ, Vahl. Kermadec Islands, Sir J. D. Hooker (“Handbook,” p. 56). I did not see this, and the plant was unknown to Mr. Bell. New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania, Tristan d'Acunha. 10. Halorageæ. 13.
