The type-specimens of the species described in this paper, and a 
complete set of the specimens secured on the several expeditions, 
have been placed in the herbarium of the New York Botanical 
Garden. 
CyMODOCEA MANATORUM Aschers. 
This rare aquatic plant, formerly known mainly from the West 
Indies, was collected along the shore near Cape Florida below 
Miami, by Dr. M. A. Howe, March 29, 1904 (no. 315).

A characteristic species, related to ee coarctatus (Ell.) 
Britton; differing in the ciliate leaf-blades, the ovoid spikelets and 
the small achene. The type-specimens were collected in the pine- 
lands between Cocoanut Grove and Cutler in November, 1903

TILLANDSIA SUBLAKA Baker 
Previously known from several islands of the West Indies, this 
species was found in a large hammock east of Fort Lauderdale by 
Mr. J. J. Carter and the writer, November 19-25, 1903 (no. 968). 
The most closely related species occurring on the North Ameri- 
can mainland is 7zlandsia Valenzuelana, 
CaTorsis NuUTANS (Sw.) Griseb. 
Although this species has already been accredited to the flora of 
the continent, the Catopszs formerly known to occur here was C. 
Berteroniana and not C. nutans. Catopsis nutans was first col- 
lected in Florida by Mr. J. J. Carter and the writer in hammocks 
along the homestead trail near Camp Longview, Dade Co., in No- 
vember, 1903 (no. 972). In May, 1904, the species was found 
on the eastern end of Long Key (mainland), by Mr. Wilson and 
the writer, as well as in other hammocks in adjacent Dade Co. 
(no. IgII).
