no other use known for this plant in northeastern Oaxaca, 
but other species of Carludovica find extensive use in 
Central America in the manufacture of hats and matting. 
BROMELIACEAE 
Vriesia Malzinei /’. Morren in Belg. Hort. 24 
(1874) 3138. 
Mexico: Oaxaca, District of Tuxtepec, Cerro Nariz, San Felipe 
Usila, long. 96°32’, lat. 17°50’, alt. 350 m., April 19, 1939, Schultes 
& Reko 666 (Herb. Gray). 
This collection of Vriesia Malzinei apparently is the 
first made since the type was collected at Cordova, Vera 
Cruz, in 1874. Smith (No. Am. FI. 19 (1988) 158) states 
in regard to this species: “‘known only from the type 
locality, but introduced into cultivation.’’ This plant 
appears to be rare in the District of Tuxtepec where it 
is known by the Chinantec name /ee-se. 
ANNONACEAE 
Guatteria Galeottiana Baillon in Adansonia 8 
(1868) 268. 
Mexico: Oaxaca, District of Choapam, between Santiago Choapam 
and San Juan Teotalcingo, long. 95°51’, lat. 17°18’, alt. 1100 m., 
June 1, 1939, Schultes 560 (Econ. Herb. Oakes Ames No. 2701; Herb. 
Gray); District of Choapam, Santo Domingo Latani, long. 95°48', 
lat. 17°24/, alt. 900 m., May 13, 1939, Schultes & Reko 906 (Econ. 
Herb. Oakes Ames No. 2700). 
Guatteria Galeottiana has been known only from col- 
lections made by Galeotti in 1839 and by Liebmann in 
1842: Galeotti 4603, Chinantla; Liebmann 16, San Juan 
Comaltepec; Lichmann 17, San Juan Teotalcingo (‘“Tui- 
talungo’’); Liebmann 18, San Juan Lovani (‘‘Lobani’’). 
It is apparently a local endemic restricted to the Chinant- 
la. It is interesting to note in this connection that the 
only other species—Guatteria Jurgensenn Hemsley
