1. ArthrostyHdium angustifolium Nash, Torreya 3: 172. 1903. 

 Baracoaj Underwood & Earle 941 in Herb. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 



2. Arthrostylidium capiUifolium Griseb. Mem. Amer. Acad. n. sfer. 8: 531. 1862. 

 Without data, Wright^ Madruga, Shafer 11; Santiago de Cuba, Taylor 218, Hamilton 



212, both in Herb N. Y. Bot. Gard. 



The Wright specimen in the Grisebach Herbarium is no. 738 from eastern Cuba 

 in 1856-57. Since the above specimen is the only Arthrostylidium in the Sauvalle 

 Herbarium without number, it is probably the one listed under no. 2744 in Sauvalle 's 

 Flora Cubana, "Arthrostylidium sp.? (sine numero)." 



In the Gray Herbarium are two specimens of Wright 738, both from eastern Cuba, one 

 with flowers, collected in 1856-57, the other sterile, '*In dense woods, ascending on 

 trees and bushes, 10-20 ft., Monte Verde, Aug. 22, 1859." 



3.. Arthrostylidium cubense Rupr. Mem. Acad. Petersb. VI. 6: 118. 1839. 



"Pendant on cliffs, pinales, Nov.," "Banks of river San Sebastian, Pinar del Rio, 

 Dec," Wright S811; without locality, TTn^A^ 3809. 



The two Grisebach specimens are labeled " Subscandent, 10 ft., savannas of Guana- 

 caro, near rivulets, Aug. 3," no. 307, 1865, and "Savannas of Guanacaro, July 31," 

 no. 288. The Wright specimens agree with the type in the Trinius Herbarium. 



4. Arthrostylidium distichum Pilger in Urban, Symb. Antill. 2: 342. 1901. 

 "In dense woods, Oct. 19," "Damp woods, Rangel, Nov. 14," Wright 3808. 



5. Arthrostylidium fimbriatum Griseb. Mem. Amer. Acad. n. ser. 8: 531. 1862. 

 Eastern Cuba in 1859, Wright 1554 in Grisebach Herbarium. This number in the 



Gray Herbarium is labeled, "In dense woods, 1-3 ft. high, Dec. 23," from Monte 

 Verde, 1859. A sterile specimen in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Gar- 

 den from Santiago de Cuba, Taylor 415, appears to be this species. 



6. Arthrostylidium. sarm.entosum Pilger in Urban, Symb. Antill. 4: 108. 1903. 

 Santiago de Cuba, Hamilton 21S in Herb. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 



7. Arthrostylidium urbanii Pilger in Urban, Symb. Antill. 2: 339. 1901. 

 Wright 3810. 



In the Gray Herbarium there are two sterile specimens of what appear to be this 

 species, numbered 41 and 288. 



Gramen sp., Wright 3894. This number is represented by an unidentifiable frag- 

 mentary specimen from which the spikelets have fallen. It is listed in Sauvalle 's 

 Flora Cubana as ^^ Muhlenbergia spicata Munn."
