Castillo de Jagua, which was used as a base last spring while 
we were exploring the southern coast of Santa Clara, and here

flora at that point. On March 30, accompanied by Brother Leon, 
we again visited the Sierra de Anafe, near Guayabal, previously 
visited on February 24, and obtained some additional specimens.

who expressed great interest in our work, and we discussed 
Havana parks and gardens with him. The afternoon was given 
to a visit to Cojimar, on the north coast, east of Havana, where 
of the most characteristic of all Cuban palms (Copernicia macro- 
glossa) was obtained. On the morning of April 1 we paid another 
visit to the Botanical Garden of the University, obtaining cut- 
tings of two cactuses which are growing there to perfection,
