﻿An Enumeration of the Plants collected by Dr, H. H. Rusby in 



South America, 1885-1 886. -XX IV. 



By H. H. Rusby. 



(Continued from the last contribution by Dr. N. L. Britton, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 20: 



140. 1893. ) 



Note. — Soon after the publication of the last part of this 

 Enumeration, in 1893, Dr. Britton became so engrossed in the 



■ 



important duties which have since culminated in the publication of 

 the Illustrated Flora, and in the establishment of the New York 

 Botanical Garden, that the continuation of this work was impos- 

 sible. Up to a recent period, Dr. Britton hoped to resume the 

 publication, but, seeing now that this is impracticable, he has asked 

 the present writer to undertake the completion of the task, The 

 succeeding parts will be published in the Bulletin from month to 

 month, as regularly as the circumstances will permit. Mean- 

 while, the MS. for the Enumeration of the remaining plants of Mr. 

 Bang's collections is being prepared coincidently and will shortly 

 form a part of the Memoirs.
