24. Calophyllum (?), sp. Leaves resembling those of Calo- 

 phyllum in venation and appearance, oblong, rounded above with a 

 short oblong obtuse apex, cuneate at base, 3 or 4 inches long, on a 

 slender pedicel : fruit solitary ou a stout axillary peduncle, subglobose, 

 an inch long, dehiscent by five (?) very thick fleshy valves. — A tree 

 in the Chocon forests. The dehiscence of the fruit would remove it 

 from Calophyllum. 



25. Marcgravia rectiflora, Triana & Planch., var. Goudoti- 

 ANA, Triana & Planch. A shrub, at Chocon, with oblong acute 

 leaves, rounded at the base and nearly sessile, 3 or 4 inches long ; 

 bracts not seen. 



26. SiDA RHOiiBiFOLiA, Linn. At the Chocon plantation. 



27. Pavonia racemosa, Swartz. A tall shrub on the banks of 

 the Rio Dulce. 



28. Hibiscus AbeLxMOSCHUs, Linn. Edges of woods on the Ca- 

 mino Real above Yzabal. 



29. GossYPiUM Baubadense, Linn., as defined by Todaro. A 

 tall shrubby plant in a yard at Livingston. Leaves with 3 or 5 long- 

 acuminate lobes : capsule oblong-ovate, narrowly acuminate, over two 

 inches long : seeds 9 in each cell, easily separated from the fibre, 6 

 lines long, the fibre twice longer. 



30. Pachira ? A tall tree upon a rocky limestone hill at 



the Chocon plantation ; only flowers collected. Calyx glabrous, trun- 

 cate, 5 lines long; petals 3| inches long, narrow, finely pubescent, 

 the hairs near the base longer and reflexed, rough-puberulent within 

 and villous with reflexed hairs toward the top : stamineal tube very 

 short, villous, the filaments (nearly 3 inches long) connate in pairs 

 and pentadelphous at base. — Another species, with very large fruit, 

 probably P. macrocarpa, is common on the banks of the Rio Dulce. 



31. Hampea (?) STiPiTATA. A large tree, the branchlets, petioles, 

 and pedicels scabrous with a dense tangled stellate pubescence : leaves 

 ovate, somewhat acuminate, truncate or subcordate at base, digitately 

 5-nerved, entire, roughly stellate-pubescent beneath, nearly smooth 

 above, 6 or 7 inches long on petioles 2 or 3 inches long : fruiting 

 pedicels (1 to 4) fascicled in the axils, 8 to 12 lines long; bractlets 

 minute, deciduous : calyx turbinate, distinctly 5-lobed, 3 lines long : 

 capsule globose, 6 to 8 lines broad, on a glabrous stipe equalling the 

 calyx-tube, scabrous, 3-valved, the valves thick-coriaceous, slightly vil- 

 lous on the inner margin and lined with a close white fibrous coat: 

 seeds 2 in each cell, ascending, not collateral, glabrous, half-covered 

 and coherent by a partially adherent aril ; albumen thin : cotyledons
