ish, terete; i 0.75-1.5 cm. long, very stout; blades o 0.7—-1.2 
dm. long, 3.5-6 c aa aval varying to slightly ovate or ob-

pointed at the apex, thick and coriaceous, of a rather deep green 
above, gray underneath, the rather coarse midrib and primaries 
lightly prominent both sides, the latter about 12 pairs, nearly at a 
right-angle with the midrib and slightly ascending; peduncles rather 
broadly infundibular throat more than 1 cm. long, the lobes 1.5-2 
cm. long, apparently acute; pods linear, about 1 dm. long, less 
than 5 mm. broad, bearing’ about 7 canine lightly curved, 
the pair coh ; seed 8 mm. long, oblong, obtuse, deep-

is taken. 
Dipladenia cuspidata sp. nov. 
Softly canescent, the upper leaf-surfaces nearly glabrous except 
oe the midrib ; oper ee erect, stout, in my specimens 5-7 
m. high; stipules 4 mm. long, 2.5 mm. broad, triangular-ovate, 
acute, purplish- sas pedcles 3-5 mm. long an nd n nearly as broad; 
blades o.5—1 dm. long, 3-6 cm. broad, oval, lightly cordate, broadly

ASCLEPIADACEAE 
AMBLYSTIGMA PEDUNCULARE Benth. in Hook. Ic. Pl. 12: 77. pd. 
zi88. (This was sent by Mr. Bang as part of zo. 1254, which 
is Schistogyne attenuata Rusby, and some may have been dis-
