SATUREIA BROWNII (Sw.) Briq. Eng. & Prantl. Pflanz. iv, 3:300. 



T/iymusSw. Micromeria>ti\. Clinopodium Kuntze. Damp meadow

MESOSPH^ERUM CAPITATUM (L.) Kuntze Rev. Gen. 525. 



Clinopodium c. Linn. Hyptis c. Jacq. Waste grounds at Catano 

 (170), and the most plentiful and striking weed at the settlement on 

 Culebras Island. Environs of Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas (518), 

 a proliferous form with from 2-4 smaller and sessile heads in the 

 axils of the peduncles, peduncles 2.6 cm. long, heads 2.4 cm. diame- 

 ter, accessory axillary heads 1.5 cm. diameter: another curious form 

 from this locality (554) has peduncles 8 cm. long, and heads 1.5 

 cm. diameter, with leaves 13x8 cm., the plant leafy to the top, the 

 uppermost leaves being lanceolate, 10x4 cm. Fields about San

While the species was plentiful in every locality visited from 

 St. Thomas westward to Jamaica, I failed to detect it at Santiago, 

 or at any point from there westward to Yucatan. Mr. Combs 

 found it (sparingly, however) in marshy grass lands near Cienfuegos, 

 Cuba, hardly its natural habitat, and Mr. Johnson is credited, in
