Obs. I. Maba caribaea (DC.) Hiern (ex Hispaniola) differt ramis glabris, 
foliis 1,5—3 mm. longe petiolatis, nervis lateralibus supra prominulis, reti- 
culo venarum subtus multo minus prominente, glabris, minus crassis, calyce 
fructifero 8—10 mm. longo, lobis basi 13—16 mm. latis, margine recurvis 
(an etiam floribus?). 
Obs. II. Altera species cubensis: M. caribaea Hiern p. p. (Wright 
n. 1331) petiolis longioribus, foliis crassioribus, pedicellis femineis jam sub 
anthesi 5 mm. longis certe a planta domingensi diversa est; sed materies @ 
loco unico natali manca ad speciem novam condendam mihi non suffieit.
