New Species from Bolivia, Collected by R. S. Williams—2* 
By H. H. Russy, M.D. 
Note-—The present publication will not complete the enumera- 
tion and description of Mr. Williams’ new species. The ferns, 
grasses and orchids have not yet been studied. Quite a number of 
species are regarded as undescribed, but must wait for additional 
data. Several genera will also require description. It is proposed 
to take up these plants, together with a number of my own col- 
lection of 1885-1887, of Mr. Bang’s, and other Bolivian collectors, 
in a future publication.
