The woody plants are taken by Prof. C. S. Sargent, Brookline, 
Mass. 
The collections will be enumerated in fascicles of 1,000 num- 
bers. When necessary, as in the present instance, the fascicles will 
be divided ifito two parts, the first part including the Composite. 
A few doubtful or difficult species may be looked for in an appen- 
dix to each fascicle, in which place it will also probably be neces- 
sary to publish some corrections. 
I have found invaluable the kind assistance of Dr. Britton, at 
every stage of the work, but particularly in having compared the 
specimens at the Kew herbarium, and indicated those which could 
not be matched there. In very few instances have I found it 
possible to find published descriptions of such species. 
I am also indebted to Messrs. Bennett and Chodat, for their 
judgment upon the Polygalez, to Herr Urban who has reported 
upon the Loasacez, and especially to M. Cogniaux for having 
given me the benefit of his remarkable knowledge of the Melas- 
tomacez.

lules early І cm. long ; primary divisions about thrice divided,

with cuneate base, the lobes inequilaterally lance-oblong, acut-

solitary in the upper axils; primary bracts similar to the leaves, 
the bracteoles opposite, lance-awl-shaped, deciduous ; fruiting 
pedicels 2 cm. long, slightly angled, tomentulose; akenes
