94 FLORA or New PROVIDENCE AND ANDROS 
INODES sp. 
The genus /nodes is represented Бу a single inflorescence. Тһе 
calyx and corolla are longer than in Z. Palmetto (Loddiges), the 
calyx more deeply lobed and the margins of the petals more dis- 
tinctly papillate-denticulate. Тһе two unequal triangular scales 
which subtend the flowers are also somewhat larger. These facts 
indicate specific distinctness, but in the abscence of other data the 
application of a name may be postponed. 
Locality. —“ In swamps along road near Nassau, February 5.” 
The leaf which bears the same number (284) is here referred to 
Coccothrinax. 
А arge-leaved fan palm from which material for weaving hats 
and baskets is obtained was noticed by Mr. Lyster H. Dewey 
growing in swampy places on New Providence Island. It attains 
a height of about 5 meters and is possibly different from the palm 
reported from Cat Island by Prof. A. S. Hitchcock (Report Mo. 
Bot. Gar. 4: 138. 1893) as 5ада/ umbraculifera. This occurs in 
dry situations, attains a height of about 8 meters, and has an in- 
florescence 1.2 m. long. Тһе berries are 12 mm. in diameter, the 
seed concave at base and the embryo lateral. As already ex- 
plained elsewhere (Bull. Torrey Club, 28: 531. 1891) the name | 
umbraculifera was not available for transfer from Corypha to any 
American palm, and the application of the next available name 
/nodes Blackburniana (Glazebrook) has not yet been fixed. 
ARECACEAE 
Cyclospatheae, new tribe 
To accommodate the following genus Cyclospathe апа Pseudo- 
phoenix Wendland. The association of the latter with Morenia, 
Gaussia, and Synechanthus as proposed by Professor Drude, seems 
to have little warrant. 
The Moreniaceae are monoecious palms with numerous cylin- 
drical partial spathes and sessile flowers arranged in rows. The 
Cyclospatheae are apparently dioecious palms with a single com- 
plete spathe and pedicellate flowers, without orderly arrangement. 
The Cyclospatheae may also be recognized at once by their 
strongly conduplicate leaf-segments, a feature in which they are 
especially divergent from Chamaedorea and the related genera,
