Obs. I. Nec cl. Swartz nec cl. EICHLER flores masculos, quos in nullo exemplari 
frustra quaesivi, observaverunt; prioris specimen in herb. Holmiensi conservatum 
(defloratum) flores summos jam perdiderat. 
Obs. II. . Specimina Jamaicensia foliis solemniter 5- v. sub-7-nervibus et articulis 
multifloris, Caribaea foliis 3- v, sub-5-nervibus et articulis paucifloris gaudent; sed 
exemplaria Imrayana folia priora et articulos posteriores praebent aeque ac Trinitensia 
(leg. Crueger), quorum articuli 48—28-Nori sunt; vice versa Fendleriana folia 3- v. sub- 
$-nervia et articulos usque 60-floros offerunt. Quam ob rem varietates vix conden- 
dae sunt.
