city (843), San Juan Hill, Santiago de Cuba (1054), and San Miguel, 

 Cozumel (1496), this last being notable for its dense woolly pubes- 

 cence and larger, broader leaves 6-7 x 4-4.8 cm. 



LANTANA CAMARA Linn. Sp. PI. 627. 



Islets in Hamilton Bay, Bermuda (19), with large sharply ser- 

 rate leaves 5.8-7.8 x 3.8-4.8 cm. Dry hillsides at Bayamon (339), 

 Caguas (207), and Guanica (747), Porto Rico. Suburbs of San 

 Domingo city (799), hillsides about Port Antonio, Jamaica (979), 

 rocky upper beach at Cape Corientes, Cuba (1449), leaves very 

 strongly scabrous above. Southwest Point, Cayman Brae (1202, 

 1215), Bodden Bay Road in open fields, Grand Cayman (1320, 1332). 



From observations covering a large number individuals exam- 

 ined during the trip, and from the material collected, I am fully 

 satisfied that this species is distinct from L. aculeata. 



LANTANA HORRIDA H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 2:261. 



Dry rocky shores of the lagoon south of Progreso, Yucatan 

 (1673). Branchlets tetragonal, tomentose, sharply and strongly acu- 

 leate; leaves ovate acute 4-5 x 3-4 cm., evenly crenate-toothed sca- 

 brous-pubescent above, tomentose beneath; flower heads large, 

 chrome -yellow. 



LANTANA INVOLUCRATA Linn. Amoen. Acad. 4:319. 



L. odorata Linn. Throughout the Bermuda islands the principal 

 shrub there (5,14,79), leaves 2-3 x 1.3-1.7 cm. The usual form of this 

 species is plentiful on the dunes at Santurce (282), and on the south 

 shores of Culebras Island (590, 637^, where it grows to a tree-like 

 shrub 20 feet high and 15-20 cm. in diameter; on the seashore fields 

 of the Port of Poncd (678), and the steep dry hillsides at Guanica 

 (715), Porto Rico. Plentiful about Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas 

 (427, 440), of more thrifty, cleaner and healthier appearance than the 

 Bermudan specimens, leaves broader and larger, serrate 2.8-4.2x2.2-3 

 cm., odorous, especially the apical leaves and flowers. Base of Morro 

 Hill, Santiago de Cuba (1795), P r depauperate specimens evidenc- 

 ing the aridity of the winter season; leaves 1.3-2 x .8-1 cm. South- 

 west Point, Cayman Brae (1218), a form with long petioled (1.5 cm.) 

 leaves 2.^5-3.5 x 1.8-2.5 cm -> an d long peduncles (3.5 cm.) but with 

 small flower clusters. Near Georgetown, Grand Cayman (1252), 

 dwarfish and depauperate, the prey of some leaf-cutting insect; 

 branches denuded, their tips only leafy. Cape Corientes, Cuba, fine, 

 healthy, clean specimens, counterparts of those of St. Thomas (1451, 

 1454). Pedernales Point, Isle of Pines (1417), like the last. Bar- 

 rens beyond the lagoon south of Progreso (1716), in this locality the 

 leaves close up during the heat of the day. 



In all the above forms the base of the leaf is deltoid, while in the 

 following it is truncate and broad: The Ovens, Santiago de Cuba 

 (1109), clean and vigorous, not reduced like 1795 above, and east 

 shore of Cozumel (1597). 



LIPPIA GEMINATA Kth. H. B. K. Nov. Gen. et Sp. 2:266. 



Open woodlands near Chichen Itza, Yucatan (1626). Heads 

 large 1.7 x i cm., on long pedicels 3.2 cm.
