GuzMANIA MoNosTacHya (L.) Rusby 
This plant, heretofore only known from tropical America, was 
recently detected in hammocks in the homestead country south of 
Miami. During an excursion towards Camp Longview, Noyem- 
ber 9-12, 1903, Mr. J. J. Carter and the writer collected specimens 
in hammocks along the homestead trail (no. 971). In March, 
1904, Dr. Britton visited this region and secured fruiting specimens 
similar to those collected the previous fall (no. 257). Last May 
on excursions to Long Key (mainland) and Camp Longview, Mr. 
Wilson and the writer found the species at many other stations, the 
plants being in full bloom (no. 1997). 
This bromeliad is by far the most showy member of the group 
of air-plants that occurs in the United States. The effect of the 
conspicuous inflorescence is augmented by the great profusion in 
which the plants occur and by the not uncommon variegation of the 
long leaves. 
ALETRIS BRACTEATA Northrop 
This species, recently described from specimens collected several 
years ago in the Bahamas, grows quite abundantly on the prairies or 
extensions of the everglades southwest of Cutler. It was first col- 
lected in Florida by Mr. J. J. Carter and the writer on an excursion 
towards Camp Longview, November 9-12, 1903 (no. 1080), and 
was later found in great quantities in the same region and as far 
southwest as Long Key (mainland), by Mr. Wilson and the writer 
in May, 1904 (nos. 1718 and 1885). 
Limodorum pinetorum sp. nov. 
Perennial by thick corm-like rootstocks: leaves few, the outer one 
or two reduced to sheathing scales, the inner erect; blades narrowly 
linear, 0.5-1.5 dm. long: scape 1-2.5 dm. tall: perianth deep rose- 
colored: median sepal oblong-lanceolate, 12-14 mm. long, acute; 
lateral sepals oblong-ovate, 10.5-11.5 mm. long, acutish: petals 
11-12 mm. long, the blade oblong or nearly so: lip 10-11 mm. 
long, middle lobe cuneate, 6-8 mm. wide, crested in the middle, 
pee gia at the apex and eeu: column-wings half- 
orbic 
Rel to Limodorum multifiorum, which has broadly ovate 
lateral sepals, a proportionately much wider lip with the crest ex- 
tending to the margins,and rhombic column-wings. The type- 
specimens were collected in the pinelands along the homestead 
trail, between Cutler and Camp Longview in May, 1904 (Small 
dé: Wilson, no. 1676)
