The discovery of this tree adds a second species to the sup- 

 posed monotypic genus Phlebotaeiiia Griseb., the type species, P. 

 ciineata Griseb., being Cuban and not known to become more 

 than a low shrub. Professor Chodat has reduced Grisebach's 

 genus to a section of Polygata, but although the floral characters 

 of Phlebotaenia are only slightly different from those of some 

 Polygalas, I am quite unable to agree with him that this shrub 

 and tree are congeneric with herbaceous Polygalas. 



Professor Urban had the foliage of the Porto Rican species, 

 collected by Sintenis near Utuado in 1887, but while correctly 

 referring the plant in the distributed collection of Sintenis as 

 probably Polygalaceous, he was unable to describe it, and it is 

 not included in his flora of Porto Rico.

Some new Plants for southern New Jersey. — The flora 

 of southern New Jersey seems to be far from exhausted in spite 

 of the many botanists who have devoted their attention to it. 

 During the past few years members of the Philadelphia Botanical 

 Club and others have found several species that are not quoted in 

 Britton's Manual or in the Illustrated Flora as ranging north of 

 Virginia or Delaware. 



It seems desirable to call special attention to these additions to 

 the flora of the state, although two or three of them are already 

 recorded in Kellar and Brown's Flora of Philadelphia.
