452 Franz Niedenzu. — Malpighiaceae. 



6 mm long, obovate, erose-dentate; longer stamens exceeding the sepals; samara 

 2 ; 5 — 3 cm long, and nearly half as broad, the base white, the wing purple, sericeous, 

 thin, the margin little thickened, finely manynerved, the nerves regularly arching 

 outward; tubercles small, rather sharp. — A bush 7 ft. high. Bolivia: Apolo, 4800', 

 Mar. 9, 1902 (Williams No. 62). No. 192 from the same locality, Apr. 15, 1902, of 

 which Mr. Williams says, "A stout vine-like bush", is the same, as is No. 165 from 

 the same locality, Apr. 16, 1902, of which Mr. Williams says, "A stout vine, trailing 

 over bushes". — The species is near B. argentea Juss. Rusby's No. 51 1 and Bang's 

 No. 13 65, are probably the same".

 XII. 1.(1858)54. — "Arbor scandens, caule sulcis latis spiraliter, columnae tortilis

 brevissime bistipulato. Caetera non suppetunt. — Brasilia (Glaussen). — Speciem tarn 

 imperfecte notam et huc dubie ob habitum relatam instituere, ut caulis descriptus designari 

 posset, necesse visum est, forsan fructificatione cognita alias removendam". 



Nota. Haec species e genere removenda et forsan Mascagniae attribuenda esse videtur. 



5. B. Martiniana Juss. Malp. Syn. (1840) 284 e in Arch. Mus. III. (1843) 413. —

 concavo denticulato glabro. Stamina glabra basi coalita valde inaequalia (fere ut in

Nota. Heteropterys laurifolia esse videtur.
