and the Bahamian one different. Besides the blunt leaves and ovoid 
fruit attributed to the Bahamian tree by him, it has stouter and 
much shorter fruiting pedicels than P. éaccatum, and the foliage 
ismuch paler green. Dr. Millspaugh and I obtained a large quantity 
of its fruit last year on Great Guana Cay, Exuma Chain, and a 
comparison of it with that of P. daccatum recently sent by Hon. 
Wm. Fawcett from Jamaica satisfactorily determines them to be 
different. Specimens of P. macrocarpum in our collections are as 
follows.

Mr. Rehder in Sargent’s ‘* Trees and Shrubs,” 1: 184, refers the 
Bahama plant to P. guinguefolta latifolia (Tausch) Rehder, cit- 
ing its distribution also as Southern Florida and Cuba, and remark- 
ing that this differs from the typical P. gunguefol’a in having 
shorter and more numerous ramifications of the tendrils, generally 
broader leaves and a more elongated inflorescence, but none of 
these characters hold constant in our series of specimens and I can
