75. Sida uhnifolia; add : there occurs a form with the leaves covered with stellate down 

 beneath. — Hae. Antigua!, Wullschl. ; Trinidad!, Sieb. tr. 167. 



77. Wissada. In a form sent by Crueger from Trinidad I find 2-seeded carpels ; hence 

 Wissada, as Bentham and J. D. Hooker have suggested, is better considered as a con- 

 gener of Wissadula. 



82. Pavonia typhaleoides ; for " petals yellow " read petals white (Wright). 



85. Hibiscus Bancroftianus ; for " corolla 14'"" read corolla 14'" or shorter. 



89. Helicteres semitriloba ; add: fruit blunt at thehase; syn. H.furfuracea, Rich.; 

 cancel from synonyms H. trapezifolia, Rich., in which the fruit is longer and tapering 

 at the base. 



90. Cola acuminata ; for " naturalized in Trinidad " read cultivated in Trinidad (Cr. in 

 lit.). 



92. Buettneria microphylla. "Wright's Cuba plant (in fruit) has crenate or dentate 

 leaves, while in Sir R. Schomburgk's Haiti-specimen they are entire : both are to be 

 compared with better materials, and the former approaches much Ayenia pusilla. 

 95. For " Pentalopes" read Pentapetes. 



98. Apeiba Tibourbou. The Trinidad form (/3. membranacea, Lockh.) is distinguished 

 by less rigid leaves, which are devoid of rugosities on their upper side, and by shorter 

 bristles of the calyx. 

 100. Condalia ferrea ; for "5 stigma-lobes" read 2. 

 103. Ternstrcemia obovalis ; cancel " silky" in the description of the seed. 



103. For " Cleyera, Thunb." read Cleyera, Chois. ; corrections to Char. gen. : sepals of 

 Ternstrcemia, but two exterior abortive ; anthers erect, hairy ; ovary-cells 8-16-ovu- 

 late. 



104. Freziera hirsuta ; cancel from synonyms " Ternstrcemia cuneata, Macf." 



105. Quiina ; for " cotyledons at length cohering " read cotyledons distinct. 



106. Tovomita; corrections to Char. gen. from Planchon's and Triana's monograph: 

 sepals 2-4, two exterior including the bud ; petals 4-8 ; anthers usually minute : 

 ovary 4-celled ; stigmas 4 ; seeds enclosed by a loose testa with vessels radiating from 

 the hilum. Hence my new species are to be excluded from Tovomita : 1°, T. ha- 

 veiioides is Clusia (?) havetioides, PL Tr., its congener T. clusioides, Gr., a Cuba 

 species of which the <? only is known j 2°, T. Plumieri appears to belong to Tovomi- 

 topsis, PL Tr. (reduced by Bentham and J. D. Hooker to Chrysachlamys, Pcepp., 

 though disagreeing by having 2 sepals) ; the loose membrane, enclosing the seed, is 

 here devoid of vessels, aud the number of stigmas usually 5 ; add to its diagnosis : 



<? sepals 2 ; stamens shortly united at the base : filaments much longer than the linear 

 (i m long) anthers. 



107. Clusia ; for " cotyledons distiuct " read embryo undivided. Cancel : anthers linear, 

 extrorse. 



107. C. rosea ; add : stamens in $ exterior pluriserial, sterile interior ones forming a 



subglobose mass. 

 107. C. alba ; add •. stamens in g distinct. My $ specimens (Antigua !, Wullschl.) 



have 5 petals, and agree with Jacquin's description ; several Cuba specimens (C. alba, 



PLWr.) however belong to C. minor, L. sec. PL Tr. (C. pratensis, Seem. !, C Couleti, 



Duchass.), distinguished by a much smaller calyx and smaller leaves : I do not possess 



this species from the British islands. 

 107. C.fava, L. j add: stamens distinct. 

 107. C. venosa, Jacq. ; add : stamens in $ cohering at the base : anthers linear, as long » 3 



the free part of the filament. 

 107. Moronobea coccinea ; for this name an older synonym, viz. Symphonia globuh- 



fera, L. til., is to be substituted ; the embryo is said to be undivided. 

 107. Mammea ; for " ovary-cells multiovulate " read 1-2-ovulate. My two sections of 



this genus, as Planchon and Triana have proved against me, are to be regarded as two 



distinct genera, viz. : 



1°. Rheedia, L. Sepals 2. Stamens inserted round a disk: anthers minute, 



rouudish, etc. Embryo ovoid, undivided. — Leaves not dotted : petiole furrowed at the 



base by an axillary, adnate stipule.
