FLORA OF NEW PROVIDENCE AND ANDROS 141 



Locality. — "Loggerhead Creek, Andros, April 22. Not common. 

 Said by negroes to be more common on Eleuthera and islands south." 

 The specimen (509) consists of two leaves and two inflorescences with 

 young flowers. 



Inodes sp. 



The genus Inodes is represented by a single inflorescence. The 

 calyx and corolla are longer than in /. Palmetto (Loddiges), the calyx 

 more deeply lobed and the margins of the petals more distinctly papil- 

 late-denticulate. The two unequal triangular scales which subtend 

 the flowers are also somewhat larger. These facts indicate specific 

 distinctness, but in the absence of other data the application of a 

 name may be postponed. 



Locality. — "In swamps along road near Nassau, February 5." 

 The leaf which bears the same number (284) is here referred to 

 Coccothrinax. 



A large-leaved fan-palm from which material for weaving hats and 

 baskets is obtained was noticed by Mr. Lyster H. Dewey growing in 

 swampy places on New Providence Island. It attains a height of 

 about 5 m. and is possibly different from the palm reported from 

 Cat Island by Professor A. S. Hitchcock (Report Mo. Bot. Gar., 4, 

 138. 1893) as Sabal umbracidifera. This occurs in dry situations, 

 attains a height of about 8 m. and has an inflorescence 1.2 m. long. 

 The berries are 12 mm. in diameter, the seed concave at base and 

 the embryo lateral. As already explained elsewhere (Bull. Torrey 

 Club, 28, 531. 1891), the name umbracidifera was not available for 

 transfer from Corypha to any American palm, and the application of 

 the next available name Inodes Blackburniana (Glazebrook) has not 

 yet been fixed. 



Arecace.e 

 Cyclospatheae, new tribe 



To accommodate the following genus Cyclospathe and Pseudo- 

 phcenix Wendland. The association of the latter with Morenia, 

 Gauss ia, and Synechanthus as proposed by Professor Drude, seems to 

 have little warrant. 



The Moreniaceas are monoecious palms with numerous cylindrical 

 partial spathes and sessile flowers arranged in rows. The Cyclo-
