which it little resembles.

A tree, 6 meters high, the young twigs, leaves, and inflores- 
cence densely pilose-pubescent. Leaves about 7 dm. long; leaf- 
lets about 19, chartaceous, dark green above, paler beneath, 
entire-margined, the lateral ones sessile, or on petiolules about 
1 mm. long, cordate or subtruncate at the base, obtuse, acutish 
or abruptly short-acuminate at the apex; lowest pair of leaflets 
suborbicular, 4-5 cm. long; second and third pairs ovate-orbicular, 
5-8 cm. long, the others oblong or ovate-oblong, 9-14 cm. long, 
4-5 cm. wide; terminal leaflet long-stalked; panicles several, 
shorter than the leaves, 2.5 dm. long or less, the branches rather 
stout; calyx with a few scattered hairs, the sepals rounded; petals 
a little longer than the sepals, rounded; filaments twice as long 
as the anthers.

12. COMOCLADIA PLATYPHYLLA A. Rich.; Griseb. Cat. Pl. Cub. 
68. 1866° 
Type Locatity: Cuba [Rugel 277, the type specimen, is from 
Matanzas]. 
DIsTRIBUTION: Cuba, at lower altitudes, provinces of Oriente, 
Camagiiey, Santa Clara, Matanzas, and Havana. 
Note.—Lower leaflets ovate, the others mostly oblong. Engler 
(DC. Mon. Phan. 6: 365) describes a specimen with all the leaflets 
ovate, long-stalked, and with only 3 or 4 teeth on each margin. 
The number of teeth is often 9 on each margin. The species 
consists of a number of races, differing in width of leaflets, length 
of petiolules and number of teeth on the leaf-margins, the 
extremes appearing quite different from each other.
