FL Ot 11:9) 
Ouratea podogyna (series OOCARPJE 8A, Engl. Fl. Brasil. 
xn?. 302).— Leaves elongate-oblong (12x3"), caudately 
acuminate, narrowed to short petiole (2— 3"), obsoletely ser- 
rulate above middle, coriaceous, dull-green above, paler be- 
neath; ascending nerves alone visible, impressed on upper 
surface, prominent on lower: slender panicle half as long as 
leaves, pedicels single or geminate and exceeding ovoid- 
lanceolate buds: sepals atrofuscous, caducous in anthesis, 
ovate-oblong (34 X 121), the three interior with scarious marg- 
ns: petals obovate-oblong (4x2, exunguiculate: stamens 
equalling sepals, sessile, subulate-tetragonal, lightly rugulose: 
gynophore slender ($^, 5-angulate: ovary half as long and twice 
broader, carpids short-oval and laterally compressed, style 
equalling petals: drupe not seen.—4A tree 15—18^ high, with 
leaves resembling in form and size those of O. ezganto- 
fAylla Engl., but with flowers more nearly those of O. oZve- 
formis Engl. O. Guatemalenszs Engl., var. (?) Watson, differs 
by smaller and membranaceous leaves with close horizontal 
veins, nearly simple raceme, short and thick gynophore, etc., 
(no. 39, Watson's Fl. Guat.!)-—Pansamalá forest, alt. 3,800", 
Sept. 1886, von Türckheim, (ex Pl. cit. 1,034). 
POTENTILLA DONNELL-SMITHIH, described by Dr. Focke 
in BOTAN. GAZ. XVI. 3, is now identified by him as P. Aezero- 
sepala Fritsch, whose publication during the previous year in 
Botan. Yahrb. X1. 314 had been overlooked.——Collected also 
by Dr. W. C. Shannon, Ass't Surg. U. S. A., associate of 
the Intercontinental Railway Commission, at Chichoy, Dept. 
Chimaltenango, alt. 9,000", Mch. 1892, (ex Pl. cit. 368); 
and by Messrs. Heyde & Lux at Chiul, Dept. Quiché, alt. 
8,000", Apr. 1892, (ex Pl. cit. 3,321). 
Fuchsia arborescens Sims, var. (?)) megalantha.— Lower 
leaves quaternate: flowers nearly twice larger than in type: 
the greater stamens exceeding sepals, the lesser equalling style, 
anthers large (13): stigma minute, ovary ellipsoid.—This is 
perhaps merely a strongly marked form of heterogonous di- 
morphism. The typical plant (perhaps only the more fertile 
form) was distributed as nos. 182 and 2,139 of this series.— 
Slopes of the Volcan de Acatenango, Dept. Zacatepequez, alt.
