7. Euphorbia lecheoides Millsp.. l. c., p. 165. 
Tota grisea furfureo-farinosa caulibus e rhizomate lignoso, ramosis- 
simo. Ramis longis, diffusis rigidis dichotomis, internodiis inferioribus 
prox. 1 cm longis, superne tenuiter virgatis rigidis. Foliis breviter petio- 
latis, deltoideo-ovatis vel triangulari-ovatis abrupte attenuatis ad margine 
revoluto-intumescentibus, pagina utraque furfureo-farinosis, stipulis late 
ovatis blepharociliatis, involucris solitariis turbinatis breviter pedicellatis, 
extus glabris intus ad faucem barbatis, lobis triangularibus acutis ciliatis, 
glandulis nigris complano-orbiculatis, facie notis variolarum insigni, 
appendicibus minutis carnosis vel obsoletis, stigmatibus ad mediam bifur- 
eatis, filamentis barbatis. Capsulis glabris. Seminibus fuscis triangulo- 
ovatis fascie minute papillatis. 
Plants rigidly erect or diffusely prostrate 20—30 em. Leaves 2,5 to 
5 mm long, 1 to 2,5 mm wide. Seeds 0,8 X 0,5.mm. The specimens 
representing the extremes of this species are so widely different in gen- 
eral appearance as to almost convince one that they represent two 
strongly marked species. This difference, however, lies entirely in the 
habit of the plants and the size of the leaves. The tallest: erect form 
with small, ovate leaves (3796) passes through the type (3888) to a more 
diffuse, larger leaved. form (1305) and a fully prostrate plant with much 
larger, sickle-shaped leaves (1 cm X 3 mm) with a somewhat less intume- 
scent margin.

8. Chiococca pinetorum Britton, I. c., p. 171. 
A vine, creeping or low-climbing sometimes 1,5 m long, usually 
shorter. Branches short; leaves ovate, lanceolate or elliptic, small, 
2—4,5 cm wide, varying from acute to obtuse at the apex, narrowed 
at the base, coriaceous, dark green and shining above, paler and dull 
beneath, the midvein impressed on the under side, the lateral veins few 
and obscure, the petiole slender, 2—3 mm long; racemes few-flowered, 
shorter than the leaves or about equalling them; pedicels about as long 
as the calyx, or sometimes a little longer; calyx campanulate 2 mm long; 
corolla funnel-form-campanulate, about 5 mm long, white or cream color, 
veined with purple; berry white, somewhat compressed, 4—6 mm in 
diameter, | 
Differs from C. parvifolia Wullsch. by its smaller darker green leaves, 
smaller pale corolla and less compressed berries. C. pinetorum occurs 
only, so far as known, on islands inhabited by Pinus bahamensis Griseb., 
and in association with it. :
