the Anderson and Atkins Funds of Harvard University, and the 

 Centro "Las Gaviotas." Duplicate specimens of the plants dis- 

 cussed in the text have been deposited with the Universidad 

 Nacional de Colombia, Instituto de Ciencias Naturales (COL); 

 the Instituto Nacional de los Recursos Naturales Renovables y 

 del Ambiente-INDERENA, the Centro "Las Gaviotas" and the 

 Botanical Museum of Harvard University (ECON). For these co- 

 operations I offer my most sincere appreciation and thanks.
