cana by A. Richard, Bentham (Gen. Pl. 1. p. 234), K. Schumann, 
Hemsley and Hochreutiner, differs in the shape, texture, denticula- 
tion and indumentum of the leaves, the compact inflorescence 
and the smaller flowers. It appears to be confined to Cuba. 
and Hemsley to Belotia grewiaefolia, A. Rich., is Heliocarpus

An unlocalized specimen from pe Miller (Mus. Brit.) also 
belongs to this species. It is described in the Solander MSS. 
under a manuscript name not reproduced here. 
Related to B. mexicana, from which it may be separated by 
the indumentum, the denticulation of the leaves and the smaller 
flowers.
