{WITH PLATE XV.) 



Tlie first paper of this series was published in this journal 

 of November, 1889. The present paper consists chiefly of 

 a report on Mr. J. Donnell Smith's Guatemalan collection. 



Hydrocotyle I.KUCOCEPHALA Cham. & Schl. No. 1776 

 of Smith from Coban Department, Alta Vera Paz, alt. 4,300 

 feet, April i88g ; also 74 of Turckheim from near the same 

 locality, May 1879. Although Mr. Hemsley says that he has 

 found no publication of this species from Mexico, these spec- 

 imens seem to accord very well with the description. 



Hyduocotyle Bonariensis Lam., var. Texaiia n. var. 

 Petioles and peduncles 15 to 20 cm. long ; leaves orbicular- 

 peltate, not notched at base, t2 to 15-nerved: inflorescence 

 5 to 10 cm. long, irreguLarly or 3 to s-umbelhitely branched : 

 pedicels 3 mm. long or less': fruit obtuse at base, 2 mm. long 

 by 3 mm. broad.— Texas, 1888, G. C. Ncalley. Probably 

 collected along the sea-coast, as, otherwise, its occurrence 

 within our borders would be hard to explain. The species is 

 nnly known from southern Mexico and South America. 



tTvi>ROcoTVLE PROLiFERA Kell. This species is men- 

 tioned by Hemsley in Suppl. Biol. Cent. Amer., and to it 

 are referred Couher's, and Parry & Palmer's specimens, 

 which in the body of the work are phiced under H. interrupta. 

 Smith collected it in Laguna Amatilhm, Dept. Amatillan,
