a. FREYCiNETiEiE. — Folia simplicia, disticha. — Frutices fere omnes 
scandentes.

3. Evodianthus, Oerst. 
4. Sarcinanthus, Oerst.

6. Cyclanthus, Poit. 
N.B. The number of American species (and even of genera) of 
Cyclanthacece will prove by a more close study to have been exceed- 
ingly overrated. I have no materials at my disposal for examination, 
and it would be very hazardous therefore to reduce some of the thirty- 
six published species from the descriptions only.
