species. Among the brambles (Euéatus) of Mexico and — 
Central America R. fagifolius, R. scandens, R. Schiedeanus, 
and R. coritfolius bear their flowers in compound racemes; R. 
adenotrichos, R. Bogotensts and allied forms are distinguished 
by their copious glandular bristles; Rk. sapzdus may be easily 
distinguished by its short racemose inflorescence and prickly 
peduncles; in R. Aumztstratus the flowers are usually solitary; 
R. floribundus has soft tomentose leaves; R. Liebmannit, R. 
tiliefolius and R. Uhdeanus have small flowers and very hairy 
leaves. (W. O. Focke.)—San Miguel Uspantan, alt. 6,000",
