Although not covered beneath by a waxy powder but in the 
young state by fine rusty hairs, is it probable that Gymnas 
Hookeri J. Sm. belongs to this genusas it agrees perfectly in hab! 
and every other character save this. A single specimen meee 
in the collection of the New York Botanical Garden. Gym"? 
gramme Bommeri Christ from Costa Rica which we have mee? 
may also belong here. Other species of gold and silver tty 
from South America occur in collections and there are ne 
of two or three additional species from Central America ee 
West Indies, but present material is too scanty for properly ¢ 
acterizing the latter.
