Appendix. 
Aracea omnino dubia: 
Thaumatophyliam Spruceanum (Schott in Bon- 
plandia 1859. p. 31, Prodr. 581); cataphyllis lanceolato-linearibus 
acuminatis, 3 dm. et ultra longis; foliorum petiolo 5—6 dm. longo; 
terete, apice in genieulum transeunte; lamina pedatisecta, cruribus 
lateralibus horizontaliter exsertis et exitu arcuatim retrocurvis, 
segmentis 11, omnibus lanceolato-oblongis, apiculato-acutatis, dia- 
chymate angustissimo tantum connexis, extimis basi cuneatis re- 
liquis ibi repentino contractis et quasi geniculo brevissimo an- 
satis; costis crassulis, intermedii segmenti in apicem producta, re- 
liquorum sub extimo apice decurvis, nervis lateralibus tenuissimis, 
valde approximatis, copiosissimis in marginem excurrentibus, pa- 
tentibus vel in apiee segmenti erecto-patentibus. 
In prov. do Alto Amazonas, ad Oambó aina (Spruce n. 120). 
Plantam non vidi, sed iconem bonam a cl. Schott relictam. 
E folii nervatura concludi quidem potest, plantam ad Philoden- 
droideas pertinere, sed aliis plantae partibus non suppetentibus 
. incertam etiam hanc opinionem relinquere debemus.
