lands, North Carolina to Florida and Louisiana, and in the Isle of 

 Pines. 



Our specimens agree closely with specimens of this species from 

 the Gulf States, except that the leaves average a little longer, often one 

 cm. long for the larger ones, and the corymbose cymes become rather 

 more densely branched. 



469. Hypericum styphelioides A. Richard (?). 



Hypericum styphelioides A. Richard in Sagra, Historia Fisica, Politica y Natural 

 de la Isia de Cuba, X, 1845, pp. 96-97. 



A scraggly shrub forming a prominent part of the vegetation on the 

 white sand and gravel of the pine-barrens near Los Indios. The 

 plants are never massed into thickets, but are quite abundant, growing 

 singly and with few rather irregular branches, and with the rigid leaves 

 arranged in 4-ranks and somewhat imbricated. On the white sand 

 in the pine-barrens at Los Indios, May 17, 1910, 0. E. Jennings, No. 

 J 16; same locality, May 21, 1910, 0. E. Jennings, No. 4^5; no locality 

 given, February-March, 1 910, Jared F. Shafer. General Distribution: 

 Cuba and the Isle of Pines. 



Unfortunately the plants were not in such condition when found 

 as to furnish good specimens of flowers or fruit. For this reason it 

 has been thought best to regard the plant provisionally as Hypericum 

 styphelioides, although a comparison of the specimens with a fine 

 sheet of specimens of that species collected by J. A. Shafer (No. 432) 

 at Herradura, Pinar del Rio Province, Cuba, April 30, 1903, leaves 

 considerable doubt as to the identity of the plants from the two islands. 

 The Isle of Pines specimens have larger, thicker, more closely imbri- 

 cated, and more conspicuously 4-ranked leaves, and it is not unlikely 

 that they represent an undescribed species.
