 Parker. Pichincha, in Peru. Professor W. Jameson. — This 

 plant we consider to be the true L. stoloniferum of Swartz.

Hab. Cuba. Dr. Poeppig. — We have received this from 

 Dr. Kunze, under the name of jL. stoloniferum of Swartz. In 

 size and general habit it is more nearly allied to the following 

 species, and is certainly quite distinct from what we consider 

 to be the true L. stoloniferum. The leaves and stipules are 

 of an exceedingly harsh and rigid texture, and the former 

 are more ovate and pungently acute. 



145. L. sulcatum. Desv. 



Caule elongato repente ramoso stolonifero, ramis dicho- 

 tomis, foliis caulinis remotis ramorum approximatis omnibus 

 horizontaliter patentibus oblongis paululum falcatis opacis 

 subflaccidis obtusiusculis apice margineque superiore den- 

 tato-ciliatis basi hinc auriculatis, auricula ciliata, stipulis 

 folio duplo minoribus late ovatis acuminatis minute denticu- 

 latis basi evidenter productis et ita peltatis, spicis brevibus. — 

 Desv. JSnc. Bot. Suppl. v. 3. p. 549. — L. stoloniferum. Raddi, 

 Fil. Bras. t. 2. — L. Braziliense. Desv. Prod. Fil. in Ann. Soc. 

 Linn. Par. v. 6. p. 190. 



Hab. Brazil. Raddi, Douglas. Macrae. — This is assuredly 

 allied to L. stoloniferum^ but it is a smaller plant ; the stolones 

 are not glossy, the leaves have a small curved, oblique, linear, 

 ciliated auricle at the base on the upper- side, and the 

 stipules are prolonged into one piece at the base, so as to 

 be decidedly peltate in regard to insertion.
