metro. Semina non visa, — Central America: Without locality, Ruiz 

 and Pavon. — The specimen in the British Museum is labelled .Hippo-

1018. Sapium linearifolium W. B. Hemsley in Hook. Icon. PL, 1909,. 

 tab. 2881, — Ex affinitate 6. longifolii Huber et S. haematospermi Muell.- 

 Arg., ab utroque tamen foliis linearibus et fructu sessili ditTert. 

 Frutex 0,75 m altus, caulibus simplicibus (fide Balansa) oranino glaber, 

 Folii lamina subcoriacea, usque ad 15 cm longa, 5-7 mm lata, per 

 totam longitudinem calioso serrulata, apice glandulosa, venis immersis 

 obscuris; petiolus circiter 5 mm longus, apice glandulis 2 oblongis ses- 

 silibus instructus. Flores non visi. Spica fructifera terminalis, capsulas 

 circiter 8 sessiles conferias gerens, Capsulae valvae circiter 1 cm longae. 

 Semina compresso-sphaeroidea, circiter 3—6 mm diaraetro, colorata, facie 

 interiore costata. — Paraguay: Humid pastures bordering the Rio 

 Jequi, near Caaguazu, Balansa, 1709. — This comes near some of the 

 specimens referred to S. longifolium Huber, and it is very similar to 

 Hassler's 4833, which Chodat has named S. biglandidosum var, lo?igifoUa, 

 forma longissima in Bull. Herb. Boiss. s6r. 2, vol. V, p. 676, but that 

 has broader, less rigid, less distinctly toothed leaves on longer petioles, 

 with a more distinct venation. The capsules, too, of S. longifolium ara 

 less crowded and distinctly stalked. 



1019. Sapium Muelleri W. B. Hemsl, 1. c, tab. 2884. — Ex affinitate 



S. lanceolqti Huber, a quo differt foliis majoribus apice baud involutis, 

 spiels longissimis et stylorum columna elongata. — Rami florigeri cur- 

 vati, rubri, internodiis quam petiolis brevioribus. Folia subconacea, gra- 

 ciliter longiuscule petiolata; lamina oblanceolato-obionga, 7— 13 cm longa,. 

 maxima 3 cm lata, utrinque attenuata vel basi rotundata, apice cu- 

 cullato-glandulosa, margine Integra vel raro hinc inde praocipue prope 

 apicem pauciglandulosa; costa supra impressa, subtus elevala; venae 

 primariae numerosae, sat conspicuae, arcuatae, propter marginem anasto- 

 mosantes; petiolus gracilis, 1,5-2.5 cm longus; glandulae laterales,. 

 saepe oblique positae, divergentes, Spicae terminates, solitariae, breviter 

 pedunculatae. 15—18 cm longae, folia superantes, curvatae, androgynae-
