m., December 6, 1908, no. 2322 (hb. Field Museum). Professor Con- 

 zatti's specimens are in full flower, but the leaves are not entirely ex- 

 panded, thus giving at first glance a very different appearance from the 

 type specimens secured by Dr. Pringle in 1895. In all essential char- 

 acters there is exact correspondence. This collection records a second 

 known locality for this very distinct and showy species. 



Passiflora platyneura Eastwood, Proc. Am. Acad. xliv. 604(1909). 

 Specimens collected at De Pueblo Viejo al Rancho Nopalera, Dto. 

 de Nochixtlan, State of Oaxaca, Mexico, altitude 2500 m., 22 June, 

 1907, C. Conzatti, no. 1834a (hb. Field Museum) correspond well with 

 the type of the above species in the Gray Herbarium.

Specimens of Conzatti's no. 1586 were sent to the Kew Herbarium 

 for comparison with Bumelia sub'sessiliflora Hemsl. with which species

 Mr. N. E. Brown has very kindly made a careful comparison for me 

 and states that the Conzatti plant is not only specifically different 

 from B. stibsessiliflora, but that it is distinct from all the -species of 

 Bumelia represented at Kew. From the several characters noted by 

 Mr. Brown as distinguishing B. eriocarpa from B. subsess Hi flora may
