3. Dendropanax brachypodum (Urban) Britton nom. nov. 
Gilibertia brachypoda Urban, Symb. Ant. 5: 452. 1908. 
A short-petioled and long-pediceled Haitian mountain species, 
related to D. arboreum, known to me only from Professor Urban’s 
description. 
4. DENDROPANAX LAURIFOLIUM (E. March.) R. C. Schneider 
A detailed description of this endemic Porto Rico mountain 
tree is published by Professor Urban in Symbolae Antillanae 1: 
203. 
5. DENDROPANAX CUNEIFOLIUM (C. Wright) Seem. 
A shrub or tree up to 6 m. high, the branches slender, often 
drooping. Leaves spatulate to oblong-oblanceolate, 2 dm. long 
or less, 1.5-6 cm. wide, obtuse, or bluntly acute at the apex, 
cuneate at the base, the petiole 1/6 to 1/4 the length of the blade; 
peduncle slender, straight, as long as the leaves or longer; umbel 
7-20-flowered ; pedicels 1.5-2 cm. long; petals green, acute; flower- 
ing calyx about 4 mm. broad; fruit globose to globose-oblong, 
black, 6-8 mm. thick, the persistent style about half its length. 
Banks of streams and wooded bogs at lower and middle eleva- 
tions, Pinar del Rio and Isle of Pines, Cuba. 
6. DENDROPANAX NUTANS (Sw.) Dene. & Planch. 
Known only from Blue Mountain Peak, Jamaica, where it is 
reported as abundant. Professor Urban (Symb. Ant. 1: 200) 
characterizes the umbel as strictly erect, but it is inclined or 
nodding in all specimens seen by me. 
7- DENDROPANAX PENDULUM (Sw.) Dene. & Planch. 
A shrub about 4 m. h 
ovate, acute or bluntish at 
the base, triplinerved and r
