STANDLEY TEEES AND SHRUBS OF MEXICO 1669 



Pedilanthus petraeus T. S. Brandeg. Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 10: 411. 1924. 

 Type from the State of Veracruz. 



Page 610. Phyllanthus acuminatus. This name and its synonym should be 

 placed in synonymy under the following, the proper name for the species: Phyl- 

 lanthus conami Swartz, Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 28. 1788. 



Page 610. After Astrocasia phyllanthoides insert: 



Astrocasia populifolia I. M. Johnston, Contr. Gray Herb. n. ser. 68: 84. 



1923. This was based on the same collections as Jatropha cercidiphylla Standi. 

 (Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 23: 639. 1923). The latter name has priority of 

 publication. The plant can scarcely be a species of Jatropha, but its reference 

 to Astrocasia is equally doubtful, and it seems probable, as suggested by Johnston, 

 that it may represent a distinct and new genus. 



Page 613. Croton glabellus. This has been collected also in the State of 

 Nayarit. 



Page 617. Croton ciliato-glandulos us. "Trucha" (Sinaloa).

 Schlecht. Linnaea 19: 235. 1847. Not A. jiliformis Bojer, 1837.
