MONS. A. ROBERT'S MATTO GROSSO PLANTS 105 
CoNVOLVULACEZ. 
Ipomea whi Meissn. 674, 701, 715. - 
I. bahiensis Willd., var. ? Porto Murtinho. 885. No Peng 
seen the ‘oe, I am very doubtful about this determination. The 
petioles at their longest are 6°5 cm. in length, the lamina, very 
broadly triangular, reaching 5°5 cm. in width at the base. The 
1-several-flowered peduncles have a length of 5-0-12°0 cm 
Convolvulus pralongus 8. Moore. Cuyaba. 7O06a. 
Evolvulus nummularius L. Porto Murtinho. 868. 
SoLaNacEz. 
Solanum pilcomayense Morong var. brevipetiolare Chod. Cuyaba. 
760. Ihave not seen an authentic specimen of this variety, but, 
inasmuch as the present plant differs from the type in just the 
points mentioned by Chodat, viz. oe petioles and more hairy 
clothing, I think there can be n oubt about the determination. 
S. corumbense 8. Moore. cee a. 
S. turneroides Chod. Corumbé. 721. 
8. fragile Wright. 870a. A considerable extension to the 
range of this Cuban species.. The Matto Grosso plant seems abso- 
lutely identical with the type.
