sinensis, Tetrazygia bicolor, Sapota Achras, Solanum verhasci- 

 folium, and Genipa dusiifolia. The following additions were 

 discovered during more recent exploration in southern Florida. 



Anona palustris L. 

 The Alligator Apple grows abundantly in open moist ham- 

 mocks on Long Key (Everglades) and in similar situations west 

 of Camp Jackson (Small & Wilson no. 1648). The plants are 

 easily distinguished from those of Anona glabra, which is common 

 in southern Florida, by the flowers; these are usually only about 

 one half the size of those of Anona glabra and have more pointed 

 sepals and petals. The outer petals, too, are much longer than 



the inner ones. 



Anona squamosa L. 



The preceding species, Anona palustris, like Anona glabra, is 

 native in Florida. On the contrary, the Sugar Apple, Anona 

 squamosa, is most likely an introduced species. While collecting 

 on Lower Metacumbe Key, Florida, in August, 1907, I found 

 specimens of this species thoroughly naturalized in hammocks 

 on different parts of the island. Exploration on other keys long 

 under cultivation would probably yield further stations for this 

 species. 



Capparis cynophallophora L. 



The Bay-leaved Caper Tree although common in southern 

 peninsular Florida and on the keys seems to be but rarely en- 

 countered as a tree. The writer had the good fortune to find it 

 in January, 1909, growing as a tree on both Soldier Key and Key 

 Largo. In both localities it reached a height of about twenty-five 

 feet. Mr. Blodgett found it many years ago on Key West grow- 

 ing to a height of twenty feet. 



Brysonima lucida (Sw.) DC. 

 The Locust-berry, although known to reach the proportions 

 of a tree in the West Indies, in Florida has heretofore been 

 known only as a shrub, and usually a rather small shrub. How- 

 ever, it was found on several of the small keys at the southwestern 

 extremity of the Everglade Keys growing as a tree in January,
