The affinity of this species is apparently with S. ccerulea Moc. & 

 Sesse and 5". Seleriana Loes. From the former it differs in the low 

 stature, small leaves, shorter and reddish to dark purple flowers and 

 distinctly racemose inflorescence; from 6". Seleriana it differs in the 

 color of the flowers and in the exserted stamens. 



Bacopa decumbens (Fern.) Greenm. Field Col. Mus. Pub. Bot. Ser- 



ii. 262 (1907). 



Specimens collected by Mr. C. F. Baker at Herradura, Province 

 of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, 30 September, 1904, correspond well with 

 the original specimens, secured by Dr. Ed. Palmer in the vicinity 

 of Acapulco, Mexico, from which the above species was described. 

 The leaves in Mr. Baker's specimens are slightly broader, but 

 the habit of the plant and detailed characters of the flower are 

 identical.
