buted plant with a confused synonymy. Probably it is ^. hirta, Sw. ; but Plumier's 

 figure (t. 157) is macb stronger and more hairy than any of our speciraens. Mettenius 

 refers here .4. filifonrds, Swz., but we have thought it best to drop both names. A. ineisa, 

 Sohrad., and A. pallida, Gardn., are apparently a subpiunatifid variety, aad A. hispida, 

 Kze,, and Pohliana, Sturm, either belong here or atre closely allied. 



11. A. Langsdorfflana, Presl ; st. 8-12 .in. 1., rather densely villose ; barren 

 segm. sessile, subdeltoid, about 6 in. 1. by nearly as br., with 6 pairs of sessile 

 pinruB, with nearlj- their own breadth between them, the lowest the largest, 2^ 

 in. 1., j-^ in. br., the two sides nearly equal at the base, the apex acuminate, 

 the edge serrulate ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachises finely pilose ; a midrib nearly 

 to the point ; panicle 2-3 in. 1., with a peduncle about equalling it in length. — 

 Lang. S Fisch. t. 28. 



Hab. South Brazil, as figured by Langsdorf. — ^We have a specimen gathered in Bahia 

 by Salzmann, and a similar one, but with the lower pinnse deeply lobed, gathered by 

 Fendler (No. 12) in Venezuela. Probably.it is a free-veined form ot A. PhyllUidU, which 

 it resembles closely in habit. 



12. A. mexicana, Klotzsch ; st. 6-12,in. 1., firm, naked ; barren segm. on a stalk 

 1 in. or more 1., 6-9 in. 1., 4-6 in. br., with i-6pinncB on each side, the lowest the 

 largest, distinctly stalked, ovate-lanceolate, 2-3 in. 1., |-f in. br., rounded on both 

 sides at the base, the edge very slightly crenate ; tesebwre coriaceous ; rachis and 

 surfaces quite naked ; a distinct midrib from the base to the apex ; panicle 3-4 

 in. 1., with dense short erecto-patent branches ; peduncle 1-4 in. 1. — Hk. Ic. t. 988 

 Kvmze, 1. 131. 



Hab. New Mexico and Texas to Guatemala — A. spedosa, Presl (Hk. 2nd Cent. t. 65), 

 is a reduced form, with only a single pair of pinbae. This is well marked by its naked 

 coriaceous pinnse, with a very distinct midrib. 



** Pinnae of barren segment pinnatifid or bipinnaiifid. Sp. 13-18. 



13. A. hirsuta, Sw. ; st. 6-12 in. 1., slender, naked ; barren segm. 2-6 in. 1., 1-3 

 in. br., sessile, oblong-deltoid, bipinnatifid ; pinnce in 6-8 opposite pairs, 1*1^ 

 in. 1., J-| in. br., varying from oblong, obtuse, subentire, truncate at the base on 

 the lower side, to deeply pinnatifid with narrow divisions ; texture subcoriaceous ; 

 rachis and surfaces slightly pilose ; panicle 1-2 in. 1., close, the peduncle 2-6 in. 1., 

 slender. — Plum. t. 162. A. repens, Raddi, t. 9. b. A. ciliata, Prisl.—^, A. ten^lla, 

 Sw. ; pinnce cut down to the rachis into linear divisions, with a considerable space 

 between them, the lower ones forked or trifid. A. dissecta, Presl. 



Hab. Cuba and Mexico to Peru and South Brazil. — A . coriacea, Griseb. (Cuba, Wright, 

 1798), is said to be like this, but naked and shining, the barren segments only l^ in. 1., 

 1 in. br., with only the lower pinnse pinnatipartita at the base. A. gracilis, Sebrad. 

 (A . liumUis, Hk. Ex. Fl. t. 28, non Sw.), appears to be a reduced form with subentire 

 pinnae. 



' ^iAn^to''''^t<>s<t, Sw. ; St. 6-12 in. 1., strong, erect, clothed with deciduous ier- 

 ruginous TiaifrfftiSsw-eTi segm. 6-12 in. 1., half as br., ovate-deltoid, bipinnatifid or 

 bipinnate ; lowest pinn^ the largest, the blunt lobes often J-J in. 1., J in. br., 

 nearly uncut ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachis and surfaces densely pilose ; veins 

 fine, iiabellate ; panicle 4-9 in. 1., lax, the peduncle 1-2 in. 1. — A. flexuosa, Sw. 

 Baddi, t. 13. Bh. Fil. Ex. t. 30. A. villosa, H. B. K. A. deltoidea, Sw.— 

 /3, A, fulva, Sw. ; smaller, more coriaceous ; barren segui. tri- or even quadri- 

 pinnatifid, the ult. divisions much smaDer and sharper. — Hk, F. Exot. t. 26. 

 A. anthriscifolia, Schrad. 



Hab. Mexico and West Indies to Peru and Monte Video. — The two varieties look very 

 different in the extreme forms, but appear to slide into one another gradually. The
