( 449 ) 
aire margined, oblong-oblanceolate, obtuse or slightly emarginate 
the apex, narrowed at the base, 4-10 cm. long, 1-2.5 cm. wide, 
prominently reticulated beneath; petioles 4-7 mm. long; flowers 
throat, pubescent outside, smooth within, about 2 cm. broad; 
follicles 15 cm. long or less, 2mm. thick, pubescent, striate, pendent.

526, type; Coker, ee Brace, 404; Britton, 80; Curtiss, 137); 
Andros (Northrop, 53 
Perhaps congeneric ce Wright, 399, from Monte Verde, San- 
tiago, Cuba, which has been referred by various writers to Echites, 
Rhabdadenia, Angadenia and Mandevilla, but probably belongs 
to none of these genera; I do not know its fruit. 
PHILIBERTELLA CLAUSA (Jacq.) Vail. 
Abundant along the borders of swamps at Southwest Bay and 
near Old Fort, New Providence (Britton & Brace, 482, 770). 
This vine climbs on trees to a height of 10 meters and is very con- 
spicuous when in bloom, its abundant white flowers giving it the 
distant effect of a Clematzs. 
CaLONYCTION ACULEATUM (L.) House. 
A recent inquiry relative to the distribution of the Moon Vine in 
the British West Indies (Agricultural News, 3: 151) may be 
answered in part by stating that it is not uncommon on walls 
about Nassau, New Providence (Sritton d& Brace, 698). Pere 
Duss notes on the label of his ¢28 from Martinique that it is rare 
on that island. The species is very abundant in Cuba and in tropical 
lorida. 
CALONYCTION ALBUM (L.) House. 
This related species occurs on South Cat Cay (Afillspaugh, 
2¢16); on Sheep Cay, Inagua (Mash & Taylor, 1156), and on 
Rum Cay (Coker, 445); it is frequent on the keys of Florida. 
Ipomoga speciosa Walt. (/. sagittata Cav.). 
In wet sand, back of Southside Beach, New Providence, forming 
runners 5 m. long (Britton & Brace, 393); Nassau ( Coker, 549). 
Evolvulus squamosus sp. nov. 
An intricately branched erect shrub, 3 dm. high or less, the 
slender terete twigs densely appressed-pubescent. Leaves scattered, 
reduced to mere lanceolate-acuminate scales, 2 mm. long or less, ap- 
pressed-pubescent; flowers solitary in the upper axils, on appressed-
