rather small ovate; style stout with 3, minutely bi-lobed 

 stigmas. — Miraflores, Agua Caliente, San Jose del Cabo. 

 Possibly an undescribed species but it requires consider-

 from the seashore at San Jose del Cabo has smaller, some-

111. Rhus sempervirens Scheele. Engler's Ana-

 ripe in August and no young flowers could be found but
