EXPLANATION OF TAB. LXXVIII. 
Trophis mexicana, Bureau, and Sorocea affinis, Hemsley, were both drawn for this work on account 
of their foliage being so much alike that the two plants have been confused. In fact the 
former was referred to Sorocea by Liebmann ; and in consequence of this synonym appearing 
on the sheet bearing the specimen, the artist mistook the analyses when transferring them to 
the stone. The branches bearing respectively male and female fiowers are true Trophis 
mexicana. Fig. 1 is a bud of a male flower of Sorocea affinis, to show the imbricate zstivation ; 
2, a male flower of the same, just expanded, showing the straight filaments; 3, a female 
flower of Trophis mexicana ; 4, the same, further advanced : all the dissections enlarged.
