188.5, and identified as D. lismsa, var.

 Attached to sheet or. is a note by Dr. C. T. P. von Martins, 

 in which he states : — 



"It is ■without doubt, Cupania micruntha. Mart., agreeing totally 

 ■with its de.scription, given in Herb. Fl. Bras., .sub. No. 247, c. 1. To 

 this species must be added as a synonym Cupania laxiflwa, (Spruce), 

 Benth. Bentham \\as been perhaps induced to hold his laxiflm-a for 

 differentfrom Martins' C. micrantha, with reference to a Cujaban specimen 

 of C. micrantha given out in the Herb. Hort. Bras., sub. No. 274, but I 

 believe this is only a " vege.tior," and thickly flowering form of the 

 C. micrantha, growing in the fertile, not the inundated, soil of Cujaba. If 

 this No. 274 should prove different from the true C. micrantha, it would 

 be necessary to keep up the name of C. micrantha. Mart, (including 

 C. laciflora), and to establish a new name for 274, but I believe that Mr. 

 Bentham shall not find any jjowerful distincti\ e note in leaves and 

 flowers."

 writing, " C. micrantha, Mart ?" I submitted the specimens
