Mandon’s 242, on which the species is founded, I have not 
seen; but with that specimen Dr. Britton has matched my 1614, 
and with the latter Mr. Bang’s specimen agrees. It also agrees 
with a part of Mandon's 244, which is said to consist in part of 5. 
Boliviensis. It is therefore reasonably certain that the determina- 
tion is correct. 
Stevia stenocephala Sz. Bip. Bull. Soc. Bot. France, xii. 81, 
name only. (?) Mr. Bang's specimens are poor and I am not 
positive that they agree with any portion of Mandon's 245, which 
Schultz-Bipontinus says is partly S. stenocephala. Even if they 
did, what portion of Mandon 245 is S. stenocephala? We have по 
description whatever! Vic. La Paz, 10,000 ft., 1890 (611).
