(typus); Dominica: Duss, Ramage; Martinique satis rara, passim 
in sylvis Lorrain, Sainte-Marie et Grand’-Anse, fl. Jul.—Sept.: Duss 
n. 142, 1054; St. Lucia in sylvis montanis Fonds St. Jacques 660 m.

Obs. I. Planta jamaicensis a el. Grisesach huc laudata verisimiliter a 
cl. W. Wrisar in Antillis minoribus collecta est (cf. Urb. Symb. VII p. 77), 
dum in insula Trinidad Pr. guianense (Aubl.) March. creseit. 
Obs. II. Pr. guianense (Aubl.) March. (e Guiana) foliolis multo brevius 
petiolulatis, inflorescentiis valde abbreviatis, floribus semper 4-meris, fructu 
duplo breviore sine ulla dubitatione specifice diversum est. Hocce (a cl. 
EneLer determinatum) in duabus formis (an speciebus propriis?) adest, 
altera foliolis supra laevibus (non prominulo-reticulatis), inflorescentiis bre- 
vibus panniculatis laxifloris (Rich. Schomburgk n. 894), altera foliolis supra 
densissime et elevatim reticulatis, inflorescentiis fasciculatis, alabastris elon- 
gatis etc. (Cayenne s. coll., Jenman n. 4926). Quae veram plantam Auble- 
tianam praebeat, exemplaria originaria musei Britanniei docebunt. 
Obs. II. Characteres a cl. EneLer in hoc genere ex ovario et stylo 
et antheris adhibiti iterum accurate investigandi et in floribus masculis sicut 
in femineis comparandi sunt. 
Obs. IV. Postquam diagnesin antecedentem scripsi, enumeratio Bur- 
Seracearum in North Amer. Flora vol. 25 part 3 a cl. Rose exarata in lucem 
prodüt, qui speciem caribaeam ei e Guadeloupe tantum cognitam primus 
publici juris fecit. Cur cl. auctor nomen genericum Aubletianum junius 
Jeica praetulerit, mihi omnino incognitum est.
