TYPE LocaLITy.—Mexico: State of Puebla (or Vera Cruz) “sur les flancs 
du pic d’Orizaba, 4 12000 pieds” [3700 m.] (coll. Galeotti, no. 70, ex Mart. and 
Gal.). 
RaANGE.—Central Mexico, on and near the Peak of Orizaba. 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED.—Mexico: State of Puebla, Mt. Orizaba, alt. 
2900-3209 m.; March 18, 1894, E. W. Nelson (no. 272, m., type of S. oxylepis 
in Herb. W.); Boca del Monte [according to Rand MacNally’s map 17 miles 
east of Esperanza], March 13, 1894, E. W. Nelson (no. 230, m.; W.). 
S. latifolia Mart. and Gal. is a very little known species, of which the 
authors give a rather incomplete description of the male plant. Not having 
seen the type, I am not sure whether these specimens really belong to this 
Species, but regarding the statement “‘squamis lineari-subulatis elongatis” and 
the fact that the type had been collected on the same mountain range, I believe 
that Nelson’s plant may be identical with that of Galeotti. The name /atifolia 
has to be changed on account of the earlier latifolia Forbes, which is a valid 
name. Owing to the incomplete material, it is impossible to decide whether 
S. oxylepis is a good species or perhaps only a variety of S. paradoxa Kth. s. L., 
to which those specimens belong that have been distributed as S. /atifolia by 
PRINGLE. Nelson’s specimens were named S. Jasiolepis, var. Bigelovi by BEBB, 
but so far as I know this variety is entirely absent from Mexico.
