LIA Michx. 
Edges of swamps near Nassau, locally abundant (ritton & 
Brace, 772). Differs from most, or perhaps all, Florida specimens 
in the broader leaves, the lower ones sharply 3-lobed near the apex, 
and in the relatively more acute (even acuminate) bracts of the 
pistillate involucre. 
Sacusia BaHuaMeEnsis Urban. 
This recently described species is abundant in pine lands on New 
Providence. 
Pectis Lesstneu Fernald (?. Zixéfolia Less., not L.). 
Common in open places on New Providence (Brttox & Brace, 
193).

Thymopsis Brittonii Greenman, sp. 
A low herbaceous perennial : aie several from a common base, 
erect or ascending, slender, 4-10 c ength, puberulent. Leaves 
to a short ae sparingly puberulent a a sedivee dark green 
obtusely carinate-concave ciliolate green bracts; corollas all tubular 
and externally somewhat Sena ae of the 3, outer or pistillate 
flowers about 1 mm. lon m diameter, shorter than the 
style, ee 4-dentate, ce of the 2 (3) inner or perfect flowers 
r.5 mm. long with the tube expanded above and distinctly 4- ieee 
ae a minutely fringed crown much shorter than the corolla; 
mature achenes about 1.5 mm. long, striate, glabrous.4

Brace, 595; hb. Gr. and hb. N. Y. Bot. 
The only other species of this genus nee at the present time is 
T. Wrightti Benth., from which the one here described differs in 
being slightly puberulent instead of hirsute-hispid throughout, in 
having about 5 flowers instead of 10 in the head, and in having 
somewhat shorter achenes. The plant was received for examina- 
tion through the kindness of Prof. N. L. Britton.
