achyranthes aspera l. 



This tropical American plant was found in the Brickel Ham- 

 mock near Miami on February 20, 1905, by Mr. A. A. Eaton 

 (no. 1 188). This collection adds a second species of the genus 

 Achyranthes to our flora. Achyranthes obtusifolia was collected 

 on Key West several years before. 



GOMPHRENA DECUMBENS Jacq. 



A native of Mexico, or perhaps of Texas and Mexico, this 

 relative of the Bachelors Button, Gomphrena globosa, has been 

 introduced into other countries chiefly through its cultivation 'n 

 gardens. As early as 1897 Mr. N. K. Berg collected specimens 

 at Tampa, and in 1903 Dr. Britton collected specimens in the 

 same region, no. 80. 



Clitoria Ternatea L. 



This plant, originally from the East Indies, but now widely 

 dispersed through the tropics, has escaped from cultivation in 

 Florida. Specimens were collected by the writer in pinelands 

 between Cocoanut Grove and Cutler in November, 1904, no. 222$. 



Cajan Cajan (L.) Pollard 



Within the last few years this species has escaped from culti- 

 vation and established itself in several localities in the vicinity of 

 Miami. Collections were recently made as follows: 



Pinelands between Cocoanut Grove and Cutler, Small 222Q. 

 Pinelands about Arch Creek, Small 230$. 



Dolichos Lablab L. 



The hyacinth bean, grown in Florida both as an ornamental 

 and an esculent plant, has become established as a member of 

 our flora. Specimens were collected by the writer about Miami 

 in November, 1904. 



Phaseolus vulgaris L. 



The common bean has established itself in southern Florida. 

 It occurs not only in waste grounds, but also in the pinelands 

 remote from settlements or other human habitations. Its occur-
