 Diodia ciliata Britton & Wilson, in Britton, Studies of West Indian Plants, Bulle- 

 tin of the Torrey Botanical Club, XLIII, 1916, p. 467. 



"In white sand, vicinity of Los Indios {Britton Sf Wilson 15347) " 

 Britton, /. c. This specimen was collected in the spring of 1916. 

 Other specimens, formerly identified by the writer as Diodia rigida, 

 but probably belonging rather to Diodia ciliata are as follows: Culti- 

 vated ground south of Nueva Gerona on Keenan's estate. May 9, 

 1910, 0. E. Jennings, No. 165; dry savanna south of Sante Fe, May 

 25, 1910, 0. E. Jennings, No. 542; near Nueva Gerona, June 12, 1912, 

 G. A. Link; and Los Indios, November 4, 1912, G. A. Link. This 

 species is known only from the Isle of Pines and is evidently mainly 

 limited to the areas of white sand and to dry portions of the savanna. 

 It is perhaps too closely related to Diodia rigida, if the writer properly 

 understands the two species.
