SMALL: THE FLORA OF PENINSULAR FLORIDA 515 
ACHYRANTHES ASPERA L. 
This tropical American plant was found in the Brickel Ham- 
mock near Miami on February 20, 1905, by Mr. A. A. Eaton 
(no. 1188). This collection adds a second species of the genus 
Achyranthes to our flora. Achyranthes obtusifolia was collected 
on Key West several years before. 
GOMPHRENA DECUMBENS Jacq. 
A native of Mexico, or perhaps of Texas and Mexico, this 
relative of the Bachelors Button, Gomphrena globosa, has been 
introduced into other countries chiefly through its cultivation in 
gardens. As early as 1897 Mr. N. K. Berg collected specimens 
at Tampa, and in 1903 Dr. Britton collected specimens in the 
same region, no. So. 
CLITORIA TERNATEA L, 
This plant, originally from the East Indies, but now widely 
dispersed through the tropics, has escaped from cultivation in 
Florida. Specimens were collected by the writer in pinelands 
between Cocoanut Grove and Cutler in November, 1904, no. 2225. 
Cajan Cajan (L.) Pollard 
Within the last few years this species has escaped from culti- 
vation and established itself in several localities in the vicinity of 
Miami. Collections were recently made as follows: 
Pinelands between Cocoanut Grove and Cutler, Small 2229. 
Pinelands about Arch Creek, Small 2305. 
DoticHos LABLAB L. 
The hyacinth bean, grown in Florida both as an ornamental 
and an esculent plant, has become established as a member of 
our flora. Specimens were collected by the writer about Miami 
in November, 1904. 
PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L. 
The common bean has established itself in southern Florida. 
It occurs not only in waste grounds, but also in the pinelands 
remote from settlements or other human habitations. Its occur-
