Has. Cuba. Dr. Poeppig.— We have received this from 
Dr. Kunze, under the name of L. stoloniferum of Swartz. In 
size and general habit it is more nearly allied to the following 
Species, and is certainly quite distinct from what we consider 
to be the true ZL. stoloniferum. The leaves and stipules are 
ofan exceedingly harsh and rigid texture, and the former 
are more ovate and pungently acute.

Caule elongato repente ramoso stolonifero, ramis dicho- 
tomis, foliis caulinis remotis ramorum approximatis omnibus 
horizontaliter patentibus oblongis paululum falcatis opacis 
subflaccidis obtusiusculis apice margineque superiore den- 
tato-ciliatis basi hinc auriculatis, auricula ciliata, stipulis 
folio duplo minoribus late ovatis acuminatis minute denticu- 
latis basi evidenter productis et ita peltatis, spicis brevibus.—

Haz. Brazil. Raddi. Douglas. Macrae.— This is assuredly 
allied to Z. stoloniferum, but it is a smaller plant ; the stolones 
are not glossy, the leaves have a small curved, oblique, ee 
Ciliated auricle at the base on the upper-side, and ^ 
Stipules are prolonged into one piece at the base, so as 
be decidedly peltate in regard to insertion.
