George R. Shaw, February, 1903; probably near Sante Fe, March, 

 1910, Dr. Jared F. Shafer. General Distribution: Western Cuba 

 and the Isle of Pines. 



Shaw notes ("Trees and Shrubs," I, 1905, p. 149) that at Sante Fe 

 the species grows both alone and in mixture with Pinus lieterophylla 

 {= P. caribcea as to the Isle of Pines reference). 



Rowlee's description of Pinus ciibensis var. anomala {Bulletin of the 

 Torrey Botanical Club, XXX, 1903, pp. 106-108), as collected by him 

 at Jucaro Landing in 1901, is as follows: "Tree 6-9 m. high. Slender 

 needles 3, bracts 6-8 mm. long, green and remaining on the shoots 

 the first season, resembling the leaves of a spruce."

In stream from spring, Keenan's estate, south of Nueva Gerona, 

 May 9, 1 910. 0. E. Jennings, Number 164. 



The hairs accompanying the pistillate flowers do not have the club- 

 shaped tips which are supposed to indicate the distinctive character 

 of Typha domingensis Persoon, and, it appears probable that there 

 are good reasons for reducing the latter species to the position of a 

 form of T. angustifolia, or even to pure synonymy, as has been done 

 by Wilson, in the "North American Flora," XVII, 1909, p. 3.

In swale along stream near the west base of Mount Colombo, May 

 14, 1910, 0. E. Jennings, No. 2SQ. 



This species, now reported to extend from "Delaware to Florida, 

 Texas, and Mexico" ("North i\merican Flora," XVII, 1909, p. 57), 

 has probably been confused with typical Sagittaria lancifolia, as to a 

 number of West Indian records. It is quite distinct from 5. lancifolia, 

 however, in the specimens from the Isle of Pines. A brief description 

 of the specimen from the Isle of Pines follows:
