Mexico : near Cuernavaca, State of Morelos, at 5000 ft., Pringle,

wa December 1834, Schiede, 1052 ; Zelaya, Queretaro, Schiede, 
This species was originally collected by Dr. C. J. W. Schiede, in 
1834 and 1835, in the same district where Pringle found it: a fact I 
have been able to establish through the courtesy of Dr. A. Engler in 
lending the Berlin specimens of Sapiwm for purposes of comparison. 
Although Schiede’s specimens were collected so long ago, nobody seems 
have taken them up, probably because the flowers are not in a goo 
condition. One specimen is doubtingly referred to Sapium zelayense, 
H. B. K. (Nov. Gen. et Sp. ii. p. 65), a common and distinct tree, now 
referred to Stillingia.
