ably occurring also in Colombia by Krukoff and Mona- 
chino in Caldasia 4 (1946) 45. The Canelos Indians of 
Ecuador use the bark of the stem and roots in preparing 
curare (Krukoff and Monachino in Brittonia 4 (1942) 
282).

Strychnos Peckii B. L. Robinson in Proc. Am. 
Acad. 49 (1918) 504. 
This collection establishes the occurrence of Strychnos 
Peckii in the Colombian Amazonas (Krukoff and Mona- 
chino in Bol. Téen. Inst. Agron. Norte 12 (1947) 18). 
Hitherto known only from Colombia through one col- 
lection from the Valle del Cauca (Krukoffand Monachino 
in Lloydia 9 (1946) 65), it was to be expected as an ele- 
ment of the Amazonian flora. It ranges very widely, 
from Guatemala to Brazil and Bolivia (Ducke loc. cit. 
14).

Strychnos rondeletioides Spruce ev Bentham 
Journ. Linn. Soc. 1 (1856) 104. 
Strychnos rondeletioides has been known from Colom- 
bia hitherto through material collected along the Rio 
Vaupés (Krukoff and Monachino in Caldasia 4 (1946) 43). 
Schultes 8829 was collected in the southernmost sector 
of the Colombian Amazon drainage area. ‘The species 
also occurs in Amazonian Bolivia, Brazil and Peru, as 
well as in Venezuela (Ducke loc. cit. 11).
