OF THE GENUS BELOTIA. 
7 T. A. SPRAGUE. 
The incomplete state of our knowledge of the Central 
American forest flora is well illustrated by the genus Belotia 
(Tiliaceae). Up till recently only two species were generally 
peg ers B. mexicana, of which B. grewiaefolia was assumed 
to be a synonym, an . msignis. In 1914 two more were 
described : B. panamensis, Pittier, from Panama, and B. Lesser- 
tiana, Hochr., from Cuba. By the separation of B. grewraefolia, 
and the description of six new species, the number is now rai 
to eleven, and it is probable that others remain to be discovered. 
The known area of the genus stretches from the Mexican States 
of Vera Cruz and Guerreo to Panama, Cuba and St. Lucia. It 
may be found to extend into South America when the Pacific 
Coast forests of Colombia have been more fully explored. 
The history of Belotia commences in 1824 with the description 
of Grewia mexicana, DC., a Mexican species doubtfully ed
