Specimens examined: 
Jamaica: rocky hillside, Union Hill, near Moneague, Par- 
ish of St. Ann's, alt. 450 m., 6-7 April, 1908, Britton Ф Hol- 
lick 2729 (N. Y. Bot. Gard. Herb., photograph and fragment 
in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb.), түре; Pramble, near Claremont, 
alt. 520 m., 22 Jan., 1898, Fawcett € Harris 7032 (N. Y. Bot. 
Gard. Herb.); Soho, St. Ann, alt. 425 m., 11 May, 1915, Har- 
ris 11983 (N. Y. Bot. Gard. Herb.). 
The species here described, namely S. Hollicku, differs 
from S. Swartzii to which it is perhaps most closely related 
in inflorescence, involucre and floral characters, in being a 
vine instead of a shrub or tree, in having ovate or lanceolate 
instead of oblong or obovate leaves, in having a more con- 
spicuous venation with the lateral nerves less divaricately 
spreading and thus forming a more acute angle with the 
midrib, in having shorter petioles, and finally in having 
pubescent instead of glabrous achenes. Mr. William Harris 
states, with reference to his No. 11983 from Soho, St. Ann, 
that it is a plant ‘‘climbing over shrubs and trees to a height 
of twenty feet.”
