SCLEROCARPUS DIVARICATUS Benth. & Hook. was sent out 
in a previous distribution as S. uniserialis, no. 2,376. 
MONTANOA MORITZIANA Sch. Bip.—Coban, Depart. Alta 
Vera Paz, alt. 4,300%, November 1885, Zuerckheim 814. I 
have not discovered any description of this species, the mate- 
rial having been named from Andean specimens so labelled 
and distributed by Sonders and by André. 
ONTANOA PATENS Gray.—Jumaytepeque, Depart. Santa 
Rosa, alt. 6, ooo", December 1892, Heyde & Lux 4,216. The 
specimens are more bushy and profusely flowered than those 
heretofore collected. The leaves are densely and softly pubes- 
cent beneath, glabrous or nearly so above. The species is 
very near M. arborescens DC., to which some of its forms 
have at times been referred. 
Montanoa Samalensis, n. sp. — Apparently a suffruticose 
plant, about 3" high; branchlets more or less woolly pubescent 
(becoming glabrate), the inflorescence densely so: leaves (only 
upper ones seen) petioled, ovate-lanceolate with a rhombic 
short-cuneate triplinerved base tapering into a more or less 
winged petiole, acuminate, crenate or somewhat toothed, 
scabrous-puberulent above, pubescent beneath, 20 to 30™ long 
(including petiole), 7.5 to 10™ broad in widest part; those 
that subtend or belong to the inflorescence narrowly lanceo- 
late, acute or acuminate, wing-petioled, nearly or quite en- 
tire (the lower ones 15 to 17™ long): inflorescence a lax 
leafy few-flowered trichotomous cyme: heads long-peduncled, 
7 to 9™" high, with about ten narrowly to broadly spatulate 
white (yellowish in drying), more or less pubescent rays 10 to 
15™" long: involucral scales ovate, acute, woolly pubescent: 
Chaff of the receptacle more or less toothed towards the base, 
broadly truncate, the midrib ciliate on the back and extended 
aS a prominent mucronate point: disk corollas yellow and pu- 
bescent.“ Rio Samal4, Depart. Retalhulen, alt. 1,700", April
