grows especially in the famous gorge of the Yumury or Yumuri 
River (Rugel 145). Mr. Schulz (loc. cit. 170) erroneously spells 
this ‘‘Tomory,” while Mr. A. H. Moore* also has it wrong as 
‘“Sumuri.” This gorge is one of the scenic attractions of the 
northern coast of Cuba; the handwriting of Rugel’s labels is 
somewhat difficult to decipher. In Pinar del Rio it inhabits 
limestone rocks at San Diego de los- Bafios (Britton, Earle & 
Gager 6674); C. Wright’s specimen 381 was collected in Oriente; 
the locality of the type specimen is doubtfully cited as Havana.

AMPELOCIssUs ALEXANDRI Urban, Symb. Ant. 6: 15. 1909 
To the description may be added “berry depressed-globose, 
black, shining, 1.5 cm. in diameter, the pulp watery; seeds 2 or 3, 
depressed-obovoid, slightly rugose, rather deeply and broadly 
grooved, 5 mm. long, 4 mm. wide.” 
Wooded hillside, Union Hill near Moneague, St. Ann’s, 
Jamaica, at 500 meters altitude, Britton & Hollick 2767; this 
station is within a few miles of the type locality at Mount Diablo. 
TABERNAEMONTANA DISCOLOR Sw. Prodr. 52. 1788 
Tabernaemontana ochroleuca Urban, Symb. Ant. 6: 34. 1909. 
An examination of the type specimen of Swartz’ species in 
the herbarium of the British Museum of Natural History estab- 
lishes the identity of these species. 
22. THE GENUS GINORIA IN CUBA 
GINORIA AMERICANA Jacq. 
As intimated by Koehne (Bot. Jahrb. 3: 349) this species 
may sometimes bear spines, as observed by me on plants in the 
palm barren at Santa Clara, in March, 1910 (Britton & Wilson 
6093). This shrub grows alo 
height of 2.5 meters, at lower 
ascending to 160 meters in riente.
