The material which was at hand when I determined this in- 

 teresting little plant was but scarce, so that in several respects 

 I am not quite sure about its structure. Although there are many 

 points in which this agrees with the generic character of 

 ranthus, there are others which may perhaps justify its being 

 regarded as a new genus. However, I think it best to place it for 

 the present under Sisyranthm, hoping soon to be able to get better 

 living flowers or material m alcohol to settle this question. 



8. schizoylossoides seems to be a rare plant, and confined to a 

 small area. On account of its small greenish flowers, it may easily 

 be overlooked by collectors.
