212 Plant. nov.in Florida subtropica indigenae, John K. Small descriptae. 
and by Mr. P. Wilson and the writer, V, 1904 (nos. 1600 and 1883, 
flower). 
21. Adelia globularis Small, l. c., p. 433. 
An intricately branched shrub 1—3 m tall, the branches mainly 
spreading or recurved, pale gray and striate: leaves approximate during 
anthesis, remote at maturity; blades oblong, elliptie or slightly broadened 
upward, leathery-fleshy, mainly 1—2 cm long, slightly paler beneath than 
above: flowers few, nearly sessile: bracts oval to suborbicular, 2—2,5 mm 
long, ciliate: sepals minute or obsolete: drupes globular, 7—9 mm in 
diameter, blue: stone oval, 5,5 —6,5 mm long, longitudinally ribbed. 
A species related to Adelia porulosa, readily separated by the small 
thiek leaf-blades and the globular fruit. 
Florida: The type-specimens were collected on sand ridges east of 
St. Augustine, by the writer, 29. XI. 1903 (fruit), and by Mr. P. Wilson 
and the writer, at the same station, V. 1904 (nos. 2013, 2017 and 2034, 
flower). 
22. Rhabdadenia corallicola Small, |. c., p. 434. 
Stems solitary or several together from an irregular root, woody at 
the base, sometimes reclining, 3—11 dm long, finely pubescent to the 
inflorescence, the hair-bases persistent on the old bark: leaves opposite; 
blades leathery, oblong or nearly so, 1-—3 cm long, dark green and 
lustrous above, pale green beneath, glabrous, revolute, rounded at the base, 
Short-petioled: flowers pedicelled: calyx-lobes deltoid-ovate, 2—2,5 mm 
long, becoming slightly acuminate, and with spreading tips: corolla yellow, 
2,5—3 cm long; tube 5—6 mm long; throat campanulate; lobes spreading, 
rounded: follicles 2 together, slender, 8—11 cm long: seeds 4,5—5 mm 
long, narrowed at the apex. 
An erect or reclining vine related to the twining West Indian Rhabda- 
denia Sagraei (A. DC.) Muell. Arg.; characterized by the narrower lustrous 
leaf-blades merely rounded at the base. 
Florida: The type-specimens were collected in the pinelands between 
Cocoanut Grove and Cutler, in XI, 1903 (Small & Carter, no. 714). 
Other specimens belonging to this species are: Between Cutler and Camp 
Longview (Small & Carter, no. 848). Between Homestead and Camp 
Jackson (8mall & Wilson, no. 1951). Long Key (mainland) (Small & 
Wilson, no. 1850). Perrine (Britton, no. 277).
