Spermacoce cephalophora sp. nov. 
Glabrous or fg leaves pane ne ahead oan underneath ; 
diffusely branched from the base, the branches slender, 1-2 dm 
long, lightly 2- or Speer moe code ree stipules and rigid 
laciniae each about 2 mm. long; leaves sessile, 0.5—2 cm. long, 2-5 
mm. broad, paaene obtusish, entire; heads 0.5-1 cm. broad, 
dense ; calyx- -tube 2 mm. long, campanulate with the mouth slightly 
contracted ; ce teeth 1 mm. long, subulate, pungent; corolla- 
tube 1.5 mm. long, stoutly infundibular-cylindraceous, the lobes 1 
mm. long, ovate, obtuse; filaments a little exceeding the tube, the 
anthers oblong, half the length of the lobes; capsule dehiscing ver-

Mirracarpum HIRTUM DC. Prodr. 4: 572. (Vo. 2865.) The 
same as Mandon 340. This is probably one of a number of dis- 
tinct species at present included under this name. 
RIcHARDIA SCABRA L. Sp. Pl. 330. (lVo. 7794.) The same as 
Rusby 1969

Am. Bot. 2: 63. (Galzum microphyllum A. Gray, Pl. 
Wright. 2: 80.) (Vos. 2079 and 2020.) This is the same as 
Bang 35, which is not the same as Rusby r8g2, although I have 
so published it. 
Relbunium Bangii sp. nov 
Stems much elongated and very slender, strongly 4-angled, ad 
angles bright-green, obtusish, sparsely armed with small white 
curved prickles, the internodes about 1.5-2.5 cm. long; leaves Ps 
fours, sessile, 0.5-1.5 cm. lon -8 mm. broad, elliptical or 
slightly broader above, lightly mucronate, 3-nerved, the midrib 
stronger than the lateral nerves, ital cay hispid above, 
hairy- Bena on the nerves underneath; pedicels at length nearly 1 
cm. liform, spreading, angled; ‘sepals foliaceous, 2.5 or be- 
com os e mm. long, similar to the leaves but rather more pointed; 
berry drying blackish, 2 mm. long, 3 mm. broad, when young 
minutely sparsely hispid. 
‘¢ Sometimes climbing; abundant in good forest soil; the flowers 
green, the fruits of a beautiful red, not like sos. 269 and 578, 
which have the fruits quite white.” Coripata, Yungas, April 25, 
1894. (Wo. 2754.) Apparently the same as Rusby 1870.
