REVIEW OF ACALYPHA CHAMAEDRIFOLIA, 
Miiller’s treatment of the West Indian A. chamaedrifolia 1s 
somewhat on- a par with that accorded to A. peduncularis, and we 
have felt constrained to re-establish most of the species reduced by 
him as varieties to that species. 
Four of these, his var. pen “se (A. pendula, Wright), var. 
ee (A. glechomaefolia, A . Rich.), var. nana (A, nana, 
Griseb.) and var, genuina (A. chamaedrifolia, emend.) are shown 
in our r Plate figs. 1,2, 3and 4 respectively, and from these drawings 
some idea of Miiller’s views of this group may be gained, Except
