This is one of the commonest of the sparsely branched, round- 

 headed low trees or shrubs which grow scattered about on the savan- 

 nas in the northern part of the island where the soil consists of the 

 " Mai Pais" gravel. Its constant companions are Curatella americana, 

 Byrsonima crassifolia, and the palmettoes, especially Accelorraphe 



Wrightii.

Northern part of the island, Blain, No. 173 (Millspaugh); pine- 

 barrens south of Sante Fe, May 25, 1910, 0. E. Jennings, No. §4Q. 

 General Distribution: Porto Rico and the Isle of Pines. 



Although the distribution as given above does not seem reasonable, 

 the characters given by Urban for his species agree very closely with 

 the specimen from the Isle of Pines. The writer's field-notes have 

 this to say regarding the color of the flowers: " Fls. rose-pink, with 

 darker markings, and shading to cream-color in the throat."
