narrow elongated inflorescence and oblong fruits with very 
numerous grains. The leaves of R. poliophyllus resemble 
those of R. floribundus H. B. K., which has, however, a dense 
panicle, short pedicels and no glandular bristles. The knowl- 
edge of all these species is imperfect, and they require a more 
careful examination in their natural stations. As far as we 
can judge from the dried branches, it would be quite un- 
natural to put them under the same specific name. The spe- 
cimens of this plant are nearly all alike; in no. 2,535 the pedi- 
cels bear besides the scattered long glandular bristles a quan- 
tity of short-pedicelled glands. In the Berlin Herbarium I 
have seen a specimen of this plant from Mexico (Otlamaltatle, 
Depart. Zacualtip, Prov. Hidalgo; leg. Seler sub no. 879).
