the wings decurrent on the upper part of the pedicel, more or less 
erose, the two inner segments oval-ovate or oval, plane, wingless, 
obtuse, slightly shorter than the outer; stamens eight or nine, the 
filaments inserted on the base of the perianth, united at base, 
subulate from a lance-ovate base, pubescent about to middle, the 
anthers suborbicular, dorsified in the middle, the cells free except 
at the point of attachment; ovary trigonous, glabrous, the ovule 
erect, subsessile; styles three, slender, with irregular capitate 
stigmas; achene trigonous-ovoid, acutish, with flat sides, the more 
or less persistent ahi slightly exserted between the wings of the 
perianth; seed trigonous, one side flattish, the others sulcate; 
albumen not phi embryo subcentral, straight, the superior 
radicle shorter than the suborbicular somewhat boat-shaped 
cotyledons. 
Type species, Campderia paniculata Donn. Sm. 
As Millspaughia Robinson has proved to be a synonym of 
Gymnopodium, the present genus may appropriately take the 
name Neomillspaughia, in honor of Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, botanical 
curator of the Field Columbian Museum, who has done so much 
to increase our knowledge of the flora of Yucatan. 
Leaves 9-16 cm. wide, beneath rather densely sordid-puberulous; 
fruiting perianth 4.5 mm. sated — 3 mm. long. . N. paniculata. 
inn hos s9¢ m. wide, b long the costa

1. Neomillspaughia paniculata (Donn. Sm.) Blake, comb. nov. 
Campderia paniculata Donn. Sm. Bot. Gaz. 27: 440. 1899. 
Known only from the type collection by C. Thieme (distr. 
Donn. Sm. No. 5604), from the Rio Chamelecén, Department 
Santa Barbara, Honduras, altitude 500 meters, December, 1888.

This species was based on fruiting specimens collected in 
July in woods near Kabah, Yucatan, by Seler (No. 5600), and on 
flowering specimens collected near Izamal, Yucatan, July, 1895, 
by G. F. Gaumer (No. 750). Only the latter collection has been 
examined. This is “said to be from a tree 15 meters (50 feet) 
high, common in forests and brush lands near Izamal.* |
