Epiphytica, erecta; foliis distichis, carnoso-coriaceis, 
articulatis; vaginis arpophyllaceo-rugosis; inflorescentiis 
erectis, ramulosis, multifloris; floribus carnosis, minu- 
tissimis. 
Vegetatively the plants of this genus resemble those 
of the genus Cleisomeria, but the pollinia are very differ- 
ent. It is perhaps closest to the genus Sarcophyton, but 
the lack of a backwall callus immediately separates the 
two. 
The erect, large and prominently bifurcate rostellum 
and the vertical stigma, resembling the structure found 
in Hparmatostigma, easily identifies this genus.

SWARTZ FLORA INDIAE OCCIDENTALIS 
VoLuME III 
BY 
LESLIE A. GARAY 
The third volume of Swartz’s Flora Indiae Occiden- 
talis is generally accepted to have been published in 1806, 
because no review of it appears before that date. The 
evidence presented below strongly suggests that volume 
3 was issued at least in two parts: Part 1 comprising pp. 
1231 to 1566 and Part 2 comprising pp. 1567 to 2018 plus 
the index. It is possible that Part 2 was issued in two 
sections, pp. 1567 to 1758 and pp. 1759 to 2018, because 
at the bottom on page 1758 the catch word H Y ME- in- 
dicates that another HYMENOPHYLLU™M will fol- 
low. Yet page 1759 starts with MUSCI FRONDOSI. 
Pages 1231-1566 cover descriptions of plants belong- 
ing to the Linnaean classes of Diadelphia, Syngenesia
