thickened upward; eon a stamens wanting in i specimens, 
the pistils oblong, about 5 mm. long, inclusive of the short, stout 
stipe; fruiting pedicels 2.5 cm. long, the stipes about: 8 mm. long, 
the torus depressed-globose, nearly 1 cm. ee the fruits (mature?)

MENISPERMACEAE 
CissAMPELOS ParEIRA L. Sp. Pl. 1031. Coroico, Yungas, Sep- 
tember 8, 1894. ‘¢In dry, gravelly and clayey soil, climbing to 
the height of ten feet; scarce.” (JVo. 2422.) 
CISSAMPELOS TROPAEOLIFOLIA DC, Syst. 1: 532. Coripata, 
Yungas, March 4, 1894. ‘*A climber ae yellowish-green flow- 
ers, growing in wet, clayey soil; scarce.” (Vo. 2074.) 
BERBERIDACEAE 
BERBERIS DIVARICATA Rusby, Mem. Torrey Club 4: 203. (Wo. 
moro.) Itis the same as zo. 8637, but in fruit. The fruit (ma- 
ture?) is r cm. long, 7 mm. broad, oval, tipped with a stout, coni- 
ical style 2 mm. long and large thick stigma 2.5 mm. broad, 
borne on a stout pedicel, 1.5 to 2 cm. long, slightly thickened 
upward and subtended by persistent acuminate bracts, 7 mm. in 
length. 
Berberis paucidentata sp. nov. 
Specimens in fruit.) Glabrous; branches elongated, slender, 
flexuous, see dark-brown, leafy; stipules crowded, blackish, 
rigid, 3 mm. long, broadly ovate, acuminate and acute; leaves 1-2 
cm. long, including the narrow petiole-like base, oval- obovate, the 
revolute, the venation very coarse and prominent, underneath retic- 
ulate; secondaries airs; fruiting pedicels 5 mm. long, stout, 
angled, puberulent, their basal bracts similar to the stipules, but 
smaller; fruit globose, about 8 mm. in diameter, blue, tipped with 
the globose black stigma, which is about 1 mm. broad. (Vo. 2828.) 
Apparently the same as Manxdon 862, which is in flower, the 
leaves little larger, the bracts dark-red, the sepals dark-red, 4-5 mm 
long, ovate, acutish, rather rigid, the petals somewhat larger, and 
broader
