Nov., 1912. DIAGNOSES OF SPERMATOPHYTES GREENMAN 333 



BUNCHOSIA LINDENIANA Ad. Juss. Arch. Mus. Paris, iii. 335 (1843). 

 Specimens collected at Santa Maria del Tule, altitude 1550 m., 

 State of Oaxaca, Mexico, C. Conzatti, no. 1679 (hb. Field Museum) 

 in flower, and at the same station 12 May, 1907, C. Conzatti, no. 

 1798 (hb. Field Museum) in fruit, agree well with the original de- 

 scription of the above species. The drupaceous fruit is subglobose, 

 2 to 2.5 cm. in diameter; the seeds, moreover, are discoidal and about 

 1.5 cm. broad. 



CONDALIA PEDUNCULATA Brandg. Univ. Calif. Pub. Bot. iii. 384 (1909). 

 This recently described species has been collected at Cuesta 

 de Quiotepec, Dto. Cuicatlan, State of Oaxaca, Mexico, alt. 700 m., 21 

 June, 1909, Plantae Mexicanae C. Conzatti, no. 2414 (hb. Field Museum). 

 Professor CONZATTI'S specimen agrees well with the type and records a 

 second station towards ascertaining the geographical distribution of 

 the species. 



Malvaviscus Conzattii Greenman, sp. nov. 



Frutex; ramis teretibus glabris; ramulis stellato-pubescentibus ; 

 foliis petiolatis ovatis 2.5-6 cm. longis 1.5-4.5 cm. latis inaequaliter 

 crenato-dentatis obtusis basi saepissime brevi-cordatis supra hispidulis 

 subtus pallidioribus sparsissime stellato-pubescentibus glabratisque ; 

 petiolis 5-18 mm. longis pilosis; floribus axillaribus solitariis, pedicellis 

 1-3 cm. longis pubescentibus ; bracteolis calycis circiter 8 spathulatis 

 calyce brevioribus obtusis plus minusve ciliatis; calycis 1.2-1.5 cm - 

 longis 5-lobatis conspicue venosis extus sparsissime et minute stellato- 

 pubescentibus, lobis asqualibus ovatis acutis vel obtusis ad apicem 

 ciliatis intus pulverulentis; corollis 4.5-5 cm. longis rubris, petalis 

 oblongo-cuneatis, basi unilateral! conspicue auriculatis; staminibus 

 stylisque exsertis. MEXICO. State of Oaxaca: San Pablo, Huitzo, 

 alt. 1600 m., 25 August, 1907, C. Conzatti, no. 1981 (Field Museum, cat. 

 no. 226144, type); Santo Domingo, alt. 1600 m., 22 December, 1906, 

 C. Conzatti, no. 1683 (hb. Field Museum, and U. S. Nat. Museum). 



In general appearance this species resembles M. arbor eus Cav., but 

 it differs in having uniformly shorter petioles and fully twice larger 

 corollas. The flowers of M. Conzattii suggest those of M. grandiflorus 

 HBK., but from the original description of that species it differs marked- 

 ly in foliar and calyx characters.
