Cnidoscolus palmeri (8. Wats.) Rose. 
Jatropha palmeri 8. Wats. Proce. Am. Acad. 24:76. 1889. 
This rare species has heretofore been known from a single flowering plant found 
by Dr. E. Palmer near Guaymas, Mexico. Messrs. Nelson and Goldman have now 
collected both flowering and fruiting specimens some 20 miles east of San Ignacio, 
Lower California. These specimens, unlike the type material, have the long sting- 
ing hairs so characteristic of C. wrens and C. stimulosa. 
The inflorescence consists of only a few flowers; the fruit is shortly oblong in out- 
line and about 1 cm, long. 
Mozinna paucifiora Rose, sp. nov. PLATE XXII. 
A large compact bush often with many stems, 3 to 4 meters »igh and often as 
broad; branches usually stunted, very young branches densely po bescent but older 
ones glabrate and reddish; leaves and flowers often borne in fase’cles from old nodes 
on very short spurs, these crowded with the old stipules and persistent peduncles; 
leaves simple, rather thin, broadly obovate to spatulate, 4 to 6 cm, long, rounded at 
apex, narrowed at base into a short petiole, entire, softly pubescent on both surfaces; 
stipules dissected into linear segments, these brown-pubescent and_ persistent; 
flowers solitary, or sometimes several from the same spur, very short-peduncled, 
1 to 2mm. long; ealyx 3mm. long, green, pubescent, its 5-lobes about 2 mm. long; 
corolla red or pinkish, somewhat urn-shaped, 5 to 6 mm. long, pubescent without; 
stamens in two whorls, the longer ones reachiz¢ the mouth of the corolla; fema e 
flowers not seen; fruit glabrous, strongly flattened, 2 em. broad, 1.5 em. higa, 
2-celled; seeds globular, 1 cm. in diameter. 
Common on the dry hills east of Tehuacin, Puebla. 
Jollected by Rose and Painter in August and September, 1905 (no. 9950), and by 
Rose and Rose, September 1, 1906 (no. 11247, type).

CELASTRACEAE. 
NEOPRINGLEA AND ITS TWO SFECIES. 
In July, 1891, Dr. 8. Watson proposed the name Neopringlea for 
Llavea Liebm., while in the same year, but later (November), Dr. Otto 
Kuntze proposed also the name Henningsocarpus. 
The relationships of this genus are still doubtful, but for the pres- 
ent I shall leave it in Celastraceae, where it usually has been placed. 
The two species are as follows: 
Neopringlea integrifolia (Hemsl.) 8. Wats. Proc. Am, Acad. 26: 135. 1891. 
Neopringlei viscosa (Liebm.) Rose. 
Llavea viscosa Liebm. Vidensk. Meddel. 1858: 96. 1854, 
Collected by J. N. Rose and Jos. H. Painter, near Tehuacin, Puebla, August and 
September, 1905 (no, 10021), and by J. N. and J. 8. Rose near the same locality 
September 2 and 4, 1906 (nos. 11279 and 11482). 
TWO NEW SPECIES OF WIMMERIA. 
Since my synopsis of the genus Wimmeria was published Prof. 
Radlkofer bas added one new species, and two others are now pro- 
posed.
