6 Bkitton : Studies of West Indian plants 



Pinar del Rio, and on the Isle of Pines. It has lanceolate to 

 oblong leaves, which are obtuse and emarginate at the apex. Its 

 fruit is about 2 cm. long, the narrowly linear terminal wing about 

 as long as the ovoid body. Its flowers are only about I cm. long, 

 the corolla limb about 1.5 cm. wide. 



I take as the type of this species the specimen from "West 

 Indies," collected by Lane, and preserved in the Kew Herbarium. 



4. Cameraria oblongifolia sp. nov. 



A tree 4-6 m. high with slender twigs. Leaves oblong to 

 oblong-lanceolate, acutish to obtuse or minutely emarginate at 

 the apex, narrowed at the base, 2-3.5 cm - long, 14 mm. wide or 

 less, the slender petiole about 2 mm. long; corolla about 17 mm. 

 broad; fruit compressed, lanceolate, 2-3 cm. long, about I cm. 

 wide, grooved at the base on one side, the terminal wing oblong- 

 triangular, obtuse, about as long as the body. 



In wet woods near Tiffin, Camagiiey, November 1-5, 1909, 

 Shafer 2877; also represented by part of Wright's Cuban no. 

 2Q50, collected at Hanabana. 



The other part of Wright's 2950, which has ovate-lanceolate 

 acuminate leaves, may represent another species. It has much 

 more slender and longer petioles than C. oblongifolia, but the speci- 

 mens examined by me are too imperfect to afford a complete 

 description. Combs' no. ig, collected in Cieneguita in the 

 province of Santa Clara, appears to be the same as this, but our 

 specimen of that number also is incomplete. 



5. Cameraria microphylla sp. nov. 



A tree up to 5 m. high, intricately branched, the twigs very 

 slender. Leaves oblong 10 oblong-obovate, I cm. long or less, 

 2-4 mm. wide, emarginate at the apex, narrowed at the base, the 

 margins strongly revolute; fruit 2 cm. long, 4-6 mm. wide, com- 

 pressed, the wing oblique, sinuate, terminal and lateral, similar 

 to that of C. Jatifolia but very much smaller. 



Near the northwestern end of Cayo Coco, Camagiiey, October 

 23-24, 1909, Shafer 270Q.
