BOURRERIA VIRGATA (SvV,) G, DoH 



The shrub or small tree was recently discovered growing on 

 an outlying Everglade Key situated about eight miles below the 

 settlemetit of Cutler {Small & Carter 2818), 



Goniostachyum citrosum sp, nov. 



A straggling or reclining shrub with elongate and irregularly 

 branched stems, the bark pale-gray or whitish, the branches stri- 

 gillose : leaves opposite ; blades lanceolate to elliptic-lanceolate, 

 2.5-6 cm. long, acuminate, shallowly serrate, pubescent on both 

 sides, pale beneath, dark green above, narrowed to petiole-like 

 bases : peduncles solitary in the axils, 5-16 mm. long, strigillose : 

 spikes depressed, 4-6 mm. long ; bracts ovate, acute or acuminate, 

 the outer ones 4-5 mm. long : calyx about i mm. long ; lobes broadly 

 triangular, much shorter than the tube: corolla white, about 4.5 

 mm. long, minutely pubescent; tube swollen above the middle; 

 limb about 3 mm, broad : nutlets 1.5 mm. long. 



This species differs from Goidostachyiim graveolens by its strigil- 

 lose foliage, its sparingly and shallowly serrate acuminate leaf- 

 blades and its short spikes. The type specimens were collected 

 in the hammocks near the SiK^er Palm Schoolhouse southwest of 

 Perrine, November, 1904 [Small 2142). Collected in 1906 in the 

 same region {Small & Carter 2686). 



This plant was first collected in Mexico many years ago ; but 

 these specimens were referred to Lantana canescens H. B. K., a 

 species originally from northern South America. The species was 

 discovered in Cuba the same year that it was first found in Florida, 

 Its geographical distribution seems to be the same as that of Al- 

 varadoa amorplioides Liebm., with which it is associated in the 

 hammocks in Florida.
