JUSTICIA CARTHAGINENSIS Jacq. 
Naturalized in waste places, Clarence Town, Long Island (&rit- 
ton & Millspaugh 6269). 
GENIPA CLusuFoLta (Jacq.) Griseb. 
The leaves of shoots of this species, springing from cut stumps, 
are narrowly oblanceolate to narrowly oblong-oblanceolate, acute or 
acuminate, only 2 cm. wide or less, differing so greatly from the 
normal foliage that unless one had seen them growing it could 
scarcely be believed that they belonged to the plant. Specimens of 
these narrow shoot-leaves are seen in Brace 4766, from Crooked 
Island, and Britton ¢& Millspaugh 5658, from Little San Salvador.

sides, the veins very obscure, the petioles about 3 mm. long, sparingly
