Nova genera et species IL 307 



Obs. I. Specimina laudata bene congruunt, excepto Schomburgkiano 

 fructifero, quod certe piistulis depressis suberosis in foliis finictibusque 

 obviis subdeformatnra est, nt cl. Hemsley jam opinabatur. 



Obs. II. Cl. E. H. L. Krause in insula Barbados prope St. Andrews 

 in Turners hall-wood specimen Sapii sterile foliis nsque pedalibus usque 

 9 cm. latis olliptico-oblougis, apice in acumen angiistum planum eglandu- 

 losnm contractis, margine toto dentibus sublinearibus apice nigrescentibus 

 arguto serrulatis, dentibus perpai'cis glanduloso-incrassatis hinc inde inter- 

 jectis, membranaceis, nervis lateralibus sub angulo ca. 60° abeuntibus, magis 

 arcuatis m. Jan. 1890 legit, quod verisimiliter ad nostram speciem pertinet. 

 Arbor gracilis mediocris, poisou tree nominata, succum lacteum copiosum 

 profert, si cortex leviter vulueratur.
