Turnera triglandulosa sp. nov. 



An erect purple-stemmed glabrous shrub, 1-2 meters high, with 

 long virgate wide-spreading branches, and linear-lanceolate leaves. 

 Leaves 9-12 cm. long, 1-1.2 cm. broad, narrowed at both ends, 

 distantly notched along the margin (not serrate), pale beneath, oliva- 

 ceous above, the midvein slightly hairy, petiole 1-1.4 cm - l n g>

 shaped about midway of the upper surface. Pedicels short petiolar, 

 bracteoles lanceolate entire throughout, nearly twice the length of 

 the calyx tube, calyx lobes lanceolate attenuate about the length of 

 the deep yellow corolla. Capsule ovoid, punctate, slightly hairy, 

 seeds elongated-pyriform (lachrymate), slightly curved, the surface

Coco groves and waste grounds at "The Creek," Cayman Brae

PASSIFLORACE.E. 



PASSIFLORA MINIMA Linn. Sp. PI. 950. 



Pagets, Bermuda (44). Distinguished from the next species to 

 which it is referred by authors, by its longer petioles hairy in lines, 

 the smaller and seldom trilobed leaves tending to a blunt apex, stipi- 

 tate attenuate petiolar glands, and smaller general habit. Leaves 

 ovate 3-4x1.4-1.7 cm., subentire or entire, petioles .5-. 7 cm.
