 Hab. Coreovado, near Rio Janeiro. Mr. Bunbury, Hook. Herb. 

 Pale olive ; branches few, elongated. Stipules more than 

 half of the size of the leaves ; cellules of both large and dis- 

 tinct. Allied to the preceding, but the leaves are more erect, 

 shorter and more entire, whilst the stipules are far larger and 

 more oblong.

Hab. Demarara, C. S. Parker. Forest of Esmeraldos, Prof. 



W. Jameson. 



The described specimens were collected by Professor 

 Jameson. Patches wide, sordid green. Stems 1-2 inches 

 long. Leaves loosely imbricated, their tops recurved and 

 acuminulate. Exceedingly like L. sordida, Nees, from Java, 

 from which ours may be known by the more imbricated 

 leaves, by their crenulated margins, and greater size of the 

 stipules. 



17. L. epitheta, Tayl. ; caule sparso, repente, adpresso, vage 

 ramoso ; surculis complanatis ; foliis laxis, erecto-patenti- 

 bus, ex angusta basi dimidiato-ovatis, acutis, dentatis ; 

 lobulis ovato-lanceolatis, involutis ; stipulis minutis, bipar- 

 titis, segmentis subulatis, divaricatis ; perigoniis terminali- 

 bus, linearibus, obtusis.
