BRITTON: STUDIES OF West INDIAN PLANTS 9 
25. FURTHER NOTES ON COMOCLADIA* 
I. COMOCLADIA PINNATIFOLIA L. Syst. ed. 10, 861. 1759 
Professor Urban has pointed out to me that Linnaeus, who 
printed the specific name pinnatif., more likely intended this con- 
traction to mean pinnatifolia than pinnatifida, as I printed it, 
following the Kew Index. 
12. COMOCLADIA PLATYPHYLLA A. Rich. 
The species ranges westward in Cuba into the province of Pinar 
del Rio as far as Corrientes Bay (Britton & Cowell 9914). 
14. Comocladia cuneata nom. nov. 
Comocladia acuminata Britton, Bull. Torrey Club 37: 349. 1910. 
Not C. acuminata Moc. & Sessé; DC. Prodr. 2: 65. 1825. 
Known hitherto only from the type specimen, this species has 
recently been collected by Rose, Fitch and Russell (4785) at San 
Pedro de Macoris, Santo Domingo. The broadly cuneate leaf- 
bases distinguish it from its relatives. 
15. COMOCLADIA GLABRA Spreng. 
In Flora Portoricensis, Professor Urban refers to this species, 
the C. acuminata Moc. & Sessé, as a variety, and states that it is 
Porto Rican, rather than Mexican as supposed by DeCandolle. 
18. ComocLapIA DopoNnaEA (L.) Urban, Symb. Ant. 4: 360. 
15 My 1910; Britton, Bull. Torrey Club 37: 351. 29 Jl 1910 
The species extends eastward in the Virgin Islands to Tortola 
(Britton & Shafer 902). 
26. ANOTHER WEST INDIAN DENDROPANAX 
Dendropanax filipes sp. nov. 
A slender, straggling shrub up to 3 m. high. Leaves oblong- 
oblanceolate, thin-coriaceous, 12 cm. long or less, I-3 cm. wide, 
rather strongly pinnately veined, acutish at the apex, obtuse or 
acute at the base, the petioles 2-25 mm. long; peduncle very 
slender, bracted at the base, apparently nodding, 10 cm. long or 
* See Bull. Torrey Club 37: 345-363. 1910.
