Page 722, at the end of Euphorbiaceae, add: 



30. PEDILANTHUS Neck. 

 Shrubs with fleshy branches. Leaves succulent : blades flat, entire or undulate- 

 crisped. Involucres borne in dichotomous, often contracted cymes, oblique and 

 strongly 2-lipped, the lower lip much larger than the upper. Capsule 3-lobed, the 

 carpels often keeled or horned. — Differs from the preceding genera in the very inequi- 

 lateral involucre. Eedbird Flower. 



1. Pedilanthus tithymaloidea (L.) Poit. Plants 3-16 dm. tall or more, the 

 stem and branches sometimes zigzag: leaves spreading; blades ovate to ovate-lanceo- 

 late, 4-11 cm. long: involucres 12-14 mm. long, mainly red, the two terminal lobes 

 broadly ovate, ciliolate: stamens and style exserted: capsules 6-7 mm. long: seeds 

 3-3.5 mm. long. 



In pine lands and hammocks, southern peninsular Florida and the Keys. Naturalized 

 from tropical America. All year. 



Page 726, before Cotinus, insert: 



MANGIFERA L. 



Trees. Leaves alternate: blades simple, relatively narrow. Flowers polygamo- 



dioecious, borne in stiff panicles, the branches of the panicle not plumose. Sepals 4 



or 5. Petals 4 or 5. Ovary oblique : style 1, lateral. Drupe ovoid to somewhat reni- 



form, smooth: putamen tenaciously fibrous-coated. — Differs from Cotinus in the single 

 stigma and the fibrous-hairy seed. 



r 



1. Mangifera Indica L. A tree with ultimately spreading branches: leaf- 



blades leathery, oblong to linear-oblong or linear-lanceolate, mostly 1-3. .5 dm. long, 



reticulated: panicle 1—4 dm. long: sepals ovate: petals oblong or nearly so, 3.5^ 



mm. long: drupes 5-10 cm. long, aromatic. 



In hammocks, southern peninsular Florida and the Keys. Naturalized from the East 

 Indies. Maxgo. 



Page 728, after Schmaltsia lanceolata, insert : 



4a. Schmaltzia leuc^ntha (Jacq.) Small. A shrub, or a tree becoming 9 m. 

 tall, the bark red: leaves pinnately compound, 1.5-3 dm. long, the rachis narrowly 

 winged; leaflets 13-33, the blades narrowly oblong to linear-lanceolate, 3-9 cm. long, 

 acute, entire or shallowly few-toothed, pale and closely fine-pubescent beneath: 

 panicle erect, mostly 1-2 dm. long: flowers white or cream-colored: sepals ovate, less 

 than 1 mm. long: petals oval or oblong, about 2 mm. long: drupes lenticular, 5-5.5 

 mm. long, dark red. [Rhus leucantha Jacq.] — Differs from S. lanceolata in the red 

 bark and the straight acute leaflets. 



In hammocks, southern peninsular Florida. Also in Cuba. Summer. 



Page 731, after Ilex glabra, insert: 



la. Ilex Krugi^na Loesener. An evergreen shrub, or a tree 11 m. tall, with 

 white bark and glabrous twigs. Leaf -blades oblong, elliptic or ovate, 4-7.5 cm. long, 

 acuminate, mostly entire, deep green and lustrous above, slender-petioled: staminate 

 calyx about 3 mm. wide: staminate corolla 5-5.5 mm. wide: drupes 5.5-6.5 mm. in 

 diameter, about as long as the stalks. — Differs from I. glabra and I. lucida in the 

 slender-petioled leaf -blades and the pale branches. 



In hammocks and pine lands, southern peninsular Florida. Spring and summer. 



Page 732, in description of Ilex Caroliniana, transjiose the measurements given 

 for the calyx and the corolla. 



Page 733, in description of Ilex monticola, transpose the measurements given for 

 the calyx and the corolla.

 after "leaves."
