Dondia insularis sp. nov. 
Perennial, shrubby, much branched, 2 dm. high or less, the 
branches divaricately ascending. Leaves approximate, oblong, 
thick and fleshy, 2-4 mm. long, 1.5—2 mm. thick, obtuse, narrowed 
to a subsessile base; flowers axillary to the upper leaves, about 2.5 
mm. broad; sepals ovate, obtuse; filaments shorter than the sepals. 
In a salina, Grand Turk (Wash & Zaylor, 3873, August 27- 
September 1, 1905). Habit of the Texan D. conferta Small, 
which has larger flowers, longer leaves and filaments longer than 
the sepals.

Exuma (Britton & Millspaugh, 3101); Cat Island ( Coker, 432); 
Inagua (Vash & Taylor, 1460). 
This appears to be specifically distinct from C. empla in the 
fewer petals and merely repand leaf-margin. Plants from New 
Providence are in cultivation at the New York Botanical Garden, 
and have only 6 petals or fewer, usually only 4; as observed by me 
at the locality near Southwest Bay, New Providence, no flower 
had more than 4. The rootstock of this species is nearly globular, 
and only about 3 cm. in diameter. 
PITHECOLOBIUM OBOVALE (A. Rich.) Wright.

PARKINSONIA ACULEATA L. 
Grand Turk (Vash & Taylor, 3874). Not otherwise known in
