Graebner in Das Pflanzenreich gives “Cuba, Wright No. 3714”, but my 
specimen under than number is P. angustifolius Bercht. & Presl, and 
“Jamaica, MacFayden No. 44”, this I have not seen but I doubt it belong- 
ing to P. Malaina; it is more likely to be P. occidentalis Sieber. The 
specimens referred to P. malaina from Guatemala, Morong in “Pl. Gaut. 
8, 1893 (J. Donnell Smith)” are P. lucens L. var. Floridanus A. Benn.; 
Dr. Hance in Journ. Bot. (1885) 329, A. Bennett 1. c. (1890) 298, (1891) 
154, Bull, Herb. Boiss. (1895) 254, Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 36 (1908) 194. 
Potamogeton Gaudichaudii Cham. et Schlecht. in Linnaea 2 (1827) 199 
which I formerly queried as malaina, is a lucens form, but certainly not 
angustifolia Bercht. & Presl (P. Zizii C. & S.) as considered by W. F. 
Wight in Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 9: 360. , 
7. POTAMOGETON SUMATRANUS Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. Suppl. (1860-61) 
259, 597. 
“Sumatra occid. in fossis prope Padang et prope Padang Pandjang, in 
lacu Singkara” Teysmann leg., Vienna herb.!, Zollinger 1891. “In Stooten 
Padang, W. R. Sumatra leg. Teysmann No. 1139, herb. Sulp. Kurz.” Herb. 
Bogor. 
An obscure species. Zollinger’s specimen at Vienna has one flower spike 
only; the structure and shape of the leaves are much as in P. lucens, but in 
shape the leaves are very different from those of P. malaina. 
8. POTAMOGETON CRISPUS Linn. I have seen specimens from Sumatra, 
but failed to note in what collection. 
9. POTAMOGETON OXYPHYLLUS Mig. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd-Bat. 3 
(1867) 161. 
This occurs in Japan! and Corea!
