*) I have had some doubts whether this plant most rightly was refer- 

 able to Dasya ramosissima as a variety only or to be considered as a 

 proper species, having had no authentic material of related species to 

 compare with. I am much obliged to Mr. FRANK S. COLLINS for having 

 compared one of my plants with specimens in his herbarium and for having 

 written to me that he could not identify it with anything he knows. 

 Mr. COLLINS has also sent my specimen to Dr. HOWE who expressed 

 his view in a similar way.
