FLORA OF NEW PROVIDENCE AND ANDROS 161 



No. 538 was a single specimen from the pines at Stafford 

 Creek, collected in May, differing from the above in having the 

 leaves thicker but only half as wide, 2-3 cm. long and 8-10 mm. 

 broad, pointed at base and apex, margin dentate or strongly den- 

 ticulate. No. 538a is a specimen in fruit, collected at Conch 

 Sound, leaves broader than in above, denticulate and with hairs 

 on both sides of the leaf; 5386, also from Conch Sound, sent by 

 Mr. Keith, has oval or ovate leaves 2-2.5 cm - wide, with strongly 

 dentate margins, hairs beneath and on the margin, flowers smaller 

 than in 737. All the above specimens differ very much from Wr. 

 No. 99, marked M. setosa, which is in leaf only; that has leaves less 

 than half the size of any of ours, hairy above and strongly hirsute be- 

 neath.
