Adelia pinetorum sp. nov. 
A shrub 0.5-2 m. tall, with short rigid branches, the bark pale, 
the twigs puberulent : leave es numerous; blades mainly linear-spat- 
vate to ee ome mm. long, ciliate: aes minute or 
-—6 mm. 
A species related to the western Adelia angustifolia and with 
much the same habit; differing in the less pronounced spatulate 
lustrous leaf-blades and the equilateral fruit. The type-specimens 
were collected in the pinelands between Homestead and Camp 
Jackson by Dr. Britton, March, 1904 (no. 209, fruit), and by Mr. 
P. Wilson and the writer, May, 1904 (nos. 1600 and 1883, flower). 
Adelia globularis sp. nov. 
An intricately branched shrub 1-3 m. tall, the oe mainly 
spreading or recurved, pale gray and striate: leaves approximate 
during anthesis, remote at maturity; blades ee elliptic or 
slightly broadened upward, leathery-fleshy, mainly 1-2 cm. long, 
slightly paler beneath than above: flowers few, nearly sessile : 
bracts oval to suborbicular, 2-2.5 mm. long, ciliate: sepals minute 
or obsolete: drupes globular, 7-9 mm. in diameter, blue: stone 
oval, 5.5-6.5 mm. long, longitudinally ribbed. 
A species related to Adeléa porulosa, readily separated by the 
small thick leaf-blades and the globular fruit. The type-specimens 
were collected on sand ridges east of St. Augustine, Florida, by the 
writer, November 29, 1903 (fruit), and by Mr. P. Wilson and the 
writer, at the same station, May, 1904 (nos. 2013, 2017 and 2034, 
flower). 
Acuras Sapota L. 
As in the case of Mangifera Indica L. the sapodilla-tree has 
become naturalized in the hammocks about Miami and Cutler. 
Specimens were collected by Mr. J. J. Carter and the writer in 
hammocks between Cocoanut Grove and Cutler, in November, 
1903, (no. 1310). 
Vorria MExIcaNna Griseb. 
Recent exploration on the mainland of Florida south of Miami 
has shown this species, heretofore known as a member of the North 
American flora only from some of the Keys, to be quite common 
in many of the dense hammocks. Specimens were collected in
