LATJRACEAE. 



Page 286. The date of Mez's monograph of the American Lauraceae is 1889, 

 not 1869. 



Acrodiclidium misantlae T. S. Brandeg. is a synonym of Ocoten reraguensis; 

 see below. 



Page 290. Persea americana. For '"ahuacuahuitl" read "ahuacaquahuitl." 

 The name "xinene" should be placed under P. schiedeana (page 289). The 

 name "palta" is said not to be in use in Colombia. 



Page 291. Place as synonym under P. podadenia: Persea podadenia glabri- 

 ramea I. M. Johnston, Contr. Gra\- Herb. n. ser. 70: 69. 1924. The type of 

 this variety is from Orizaba. 



Page 292. Persea liebmanni. " Tepehuacate " (Sinaloa). 



To the species of Persea add: 



Persea hartmannii I. M. Johnston, Contr. Gray Herb. n. ser. 70: 69. 1924. 

 Type from Batopilas, Chihuahua.

Phoebe longipes I. M. Johnston, Contr. Gray Herb. n. ser. 70: 69. 1924. 

 Type from Mexico, the locality not known. 



Ocotea reraguensis. To the synonymy add: Acrodiclidium ynisantlae T. S. 

 Brandeg. Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot.6: 497." 1919.

Ocotea pyramidata Blake, Univ. Cahf. Publ. Bot. 7: 326. 1920. Type from 

 Zacuapan, Veracruz. 



HERNANDIACEAE. 



Page 298. Gyrocarpus americanus. "Jutamo" (Sinaloa). 

 After Gyrocarpus insert the following genus: 



SPARATTANTHELIUM Mart. Flora 18412; Beibl. 40. 1841. 



According to Hemsley, specimens of this genus were collected in southern 

 Mexico by Jurgensen. They may perhaps be referable to the Guatemalan 

 species described recently by the writer (Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington 37: 51. 

 1924) as Sparattanthelium guatemalense.
