Taylor on Inagua. Phoradendron rubrum (L.) Krug & Urban, 
based on Catesby’s Alate 82, has S. Mahagon# for its host, but the 
figure represents a plant with long-petioled leaves: nothing just 
like it has come from the Bahamas recently, and I suspect it to 
really be the same as P. spathulifolium, badly illustrated. 
According to Mr. Brace’s observations this species occurs only 
on mahogany on New Providence. 
SCHOEPFIA OBOVATA Wright. 
Frequent in the coppice lands of New Providence, a bush up to 
2m. in height (Brace, 724; Northrop, 71; Curtiss, 82; Britton 
& Brace, 207, 325).

runners 3 meters long (&rztton & Brace, 478); Little Mangrove 
Cay, Andros (Coker, 296); South Bimini (A@dspaugh, 23753, 
2410). 
ANONA GLABRA L, 
Common along marshes and in sink-holes on New Providence 
(Britton & Brace, 302, 384). The species is based on Catesby’s 
plate 64, which is apparently erroneous in representing the leaves 
cuneately narrowed at the base.
