cerntats Vahl. Subcosmopolitan and of variable habit; south to Fueg. and 

 Falkl. 

 EleocJiaris R. Br. A world-wide genus of about 1 50 sp. (Svenson). 



fnscopurptirea (Steud.) H. Pfeifif. S. Chile. Listed before as a subspecies or 

 variety of H. maculosa (Vahl) R. Br. (W. Ind.-Braz.). 



Oreobolus R. Br. An austral-circump. genus of 6 sp., extending north to Malaysia 

 and Hawaii. 



obtnsangulus Gaud. Andes of Colomb. and Ecuad. to Fueg., Falkl. 

 Cladiiim R. Br. 48 (KUKENTIIAI.); widespread, trop.-subtrop. with preponderance 

 S.E. Asia-N. Guin.-Austral.-N. Zeal., north to Hawaii, W. Ind., Braz. 2 boreal sp. 



scirpoideutn (Steud.) Benth. et Hook. f. Nearly related to C. angustifoliuni 

 (Gaud.) Benth. et Hook. f. (N. Guin., Tahiti, Hawaii). 



Uncinia Pers. 32; circump.-austr.-subantarct. with outposts north of the Equator 

 in Centr. Amer. and Philipp. Is.; greatest concentration of species in N. Zeal. 



brevicaidis Thouars. S. Chile to Fueg., Falkl.; Trist. da C; St. Paul and 

 Amsterd. Is. 



Douglasii Boott. 



costata Kuekenth. Related to the former.

berteroniana Steud. Sect. Echinochlaenae of Ki' kenthal, with few excep- 

 tions (Austral., Tasm., Norfolk I. and one Chilean sp.) confined to N. Zeal. 



Palmae. 

 Juatiia australis (Mart.) Drude. Affinities undoubtedly trop. Andean. Included 

 in the Iriarteae by Drude, but perhaps nearer to the Morenieae, or possibly 

 regarded as type of a separate subtribe. HUTCHINSON brought jfuania next to 

 Ceroxy/ou, following Bentham and HOOKER, Croizat (7/) remodelled Morenieae, 

 including Jnania and the Mascarene HyopJiorbe, otherwise linked with Chamae- 

 doreae. 



Bromeliaceae. 

 Hesperogreigia Berteroi Skottsb. 2 or perhaps more sp. Subtrop. Andean, related 

 to Greigia (8 sp., Costa Rica, Venez.-S. Chile). LOOSER called Hesperogreigia 

 monotypical, because my paper [240) had escaped him; if not, he would not have 

 written "c'Ouiza de la afinidad de Greigia.?" (j/o. 291). Inspired by L. B. Smith 

 he suppressed Hesperogreigia in an appendix to his paper (p. 299), an attitude 

 I cannot take. The two genera differ very much.^ 



1 Sepals free. Pericarp thin. Seed testa thin, with a thick coat of mucilage, forming a massive 

 pulp. Raphe inconspicuous. Scales with irregular, more or less isodiametric cells . Hesperogreigia 

 Sepals connate into a tube. Pericarp fleshy. Testa very hard, without mucilage. Raphe very con- 

 spicuous. Scales with long and narrow cells radiating from centre Greigia
