NaAsH: REVISION OF THE FAmity FougureRIACEAE 453 
ulata R. & S. (although H.B.K., for no apparent reason, credit it 
to Willdenow). Subsequently Fouguéeria was again published, 
this time being based on an entirely different plant, % formosa, 
and at the same time F. spinosa, alluded to above, was made the 
type of the new genus Bronnia. The genera are, therefore, syn- 
onymous, Fouguieria taking presence on account of the priority of 
publication.

A branching shrub 2-3 m. tall, with a racemose inflorescence 
and large red flowers. Leaves on the new growth 3-4 cm. long, 
petioled ; petiole about one half as long as the blade ; blade 2—2.5 
cm. long, 10-13 mm. wide, elliptic, apiculate, cuneate at the base : 
fascicled leaves in the axils of the spines smaller, sessile or nearly 
so, elliptic, 1.5-3 cm. long, usually less than 1 cm. wide, rounded 
at the apex, cuneate at the base: spike 1.5 dm. long or less, the 
flowers ascending: sepals red, 8-11 mm. long, broadly oval to 
orbicular: corolla red, the tube a little curved, cylindric, about 2 
cm. long and about 7 mm. in diameter, the lobes spreading or 
reflexed, orbicular, abruptly acuminate, 6-8 mm. long: stamens 
exserted, unequal in length, sometimes twice as long as the cor- 
olla, the filaments a little broadened and compressed below, gla- 
brous at the base, then pubescent for a short distance with long 
ascending hairs, the remainder of the filament glabrous, the 
anthers oblong-ovate, cordate at the base, acute at the apex, 5-6 
mm. long: styles united except at the apex, shorter than the 
longest stamens, the divisions 3-5 mm. long. 
Southern Mexico. 
Specimens examined. — Jalisco: Guadalajara, Pringle 2420, 
1889. Puebla: Tehuacan, Pringle 6296, 1895. Mexico: Chi- 
quihuite, Bourgeau 1120, 1865-6. 
This is quite distinct from any of the other species in its spicate 
inflorescence. The exact locality from which it was originally 
secured is not indicated. The specimens cited above would point 
to the southern part of Mexico as its home. /P%:letaeria horrida 
Liebm. was obtained in valleys at an altitude of 1500-1800 meters,
