﻿Griggs: Some new species of 



323 



of the New York Botanical Garden; specimens seen also from the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden and from the National Herbarium. 

 The following station may likewise be recorded: Orizaba, Mexico, 

 Botteri 523. 



The narrow revolute bracts of this species at once differentiate 

 it from all other known species except B. Ungulata and B, adflexa. 

 There is, however, no close resemblance between the stiff erect 

 inflorescence of B. adflexa and the lax panicle of the present species. 

 The resemblance to B. Ungulata is much closer, but that species 

 has yellow bracts and a compact inflorescence w^ith internodes only 

 one third as long. 



50 cm. long, leaf blade
