Obs. I. Specimiua laudata bene congruuut, excepto Schomburgkiano 

 fructifero, quod certe pustulis dej)ressis suberosis in foliis fructibusque 

 obviis subdeformatura est, ut cl. Hemsley jam opinabatur. 



Obs. II. Cl. E. H. L. Krause in insula Barbados prope St. Andrews ' 

 in Turners hall-wood specimen Sapii sterile foliis usque pedalibus usque 

 9 cm. latis eUiptico-oblongis, apice in acumen angiistum planum eglandu- 

 losum eontractis, margine toto dentibus sublinearibus apice nigrescentibus 

 argute serrulatis, dentibus perparcis glanduloso-incrassatis liinc inde inter- 

 jectis, membranaceis, nervis lateralibus sub angulo ca. 60*^ abeuntibus, magis 

 arcnatis m. Jan. 1890 legit, quod verisimiliter ad nosti'am speciem pertinet. 

 Arbor gracilis mediocris, poisou tree nominata, succum lacteum copiosum 

 profert, si cortex leviter vulneratur.
