PLANT/E INSUL/E ANANASENSIS. 



CHARLES FREDERICK MILLSPAUGH, M.D. 



This museum lately came into possession of a set of plants col- 

 lected by Don Jose" Blain, on the northeTn portion of the Isle of 

 Pines, Cuba, and sent by him to Sr. Sauvalle, who communicated 

 them to Mr. Charles Wright, from the remains of whose herbarium 

 they were obtained. 



This collection proves to be a particularly interesting one, not 

 only on account of the few common forms of the island included in 

 its 185 numbers, but also because of the scarcity of plants from that 

 region in herbaria. For these reasons they are considered worthy of 

 publication as a whole. 



Many of the sheets bear determinative remarks by either Sauvalle 

 or Wright, and a few the insular vulgar name, and month of flower- 

 ing ; but on none of them is the year of collection, which must, how- 

 ever, have been some time in the middle 6o's. 



With the exception of a few small plants, the specimens are 

 chiefly flowering tips, and do not exist in duplicate to any extent ; 

 while a few of the numbers are too scrappy to be determinable with 

 certainty; these latter are not included in the following list :
