series (5: 196. 1868) is as follows: ‘‘Revisio Catalogi Grisebachiani vel index planta- 
rum cubensium ad catalogum Cl. Grisebachii anno 1866 editum attemperata, pluribus

pro Annalibus Regiae Academiae Scientiarum Havanensis digesta, nominibusque 
adjectis cubensibus vulgo receptis a Francisco A. Sauvalle. Setiembre, 1868.”
