75. Sida ulmifolia ; add: there occurs a form with the leaves covered with stellate down 

 beneath. — Has. Antigua !, WuUsckl. ; Trinidad !, Sieb. tr. 167. 



77. Wissada. In a form sent by Crueger from Trinidad I find 3-seeded carpels ; hence 

 Wissada, as Benthara and J. I). Hoolcer have suggested, is better considered as a con- 

 gener of Wissadula. 



82. Pavonia typhaleoides ; for " petals yellow " read petals white {Wrig7if). 



85. Hibiscus Banoroftianus ; for " coroUa 14'" " read corolla 14'" or shorter. 



89. Helicteres semitriloba; add: fruit blunt at the base; syn. S. furfuracea. Rich. ; 

 cancel from synonyms H. trtipei^-olia. Rich., in Which the frnit is longer and tapering 

 at the base. 



90. Cola acuminata; for " naturalized in Trinidad " read cultivated in Trinidad (Cr. in 

 lit.). 



92. Sueitneria micropJiylla. Wright's Cuba plant (in fruit) has crenate or dentate 

 leaves, while in Sir R. Schomburgk's Haiti-specimen they are entire : both are to be 

 compared with better materials, and the former approaches much Ayerda fitsiUa. 

 95. Por " Peatal(g>es" read Pentapetes-. 



98. Apeiia Mbourbou. The Trinidad form (j8. memiranacea, Lockh.) is distinguished 

 hy less rigid leaves, which are devoid of rugosities on their npper side, and by shorter 

 bristles of the calyx-. 

 100. Gondalia ferrea; for " 5 stigma-lobes " read 2. 

 iOS. Ternstraemia -obovalis ; cancel " silky" in the description of the seed. 



103. For " Cleyera, Thunb." read Cleyera, Chois. ; corrections to Char. gen. : sepals of 

 Ternstrosmia, but two exterior abortive^ anthers erect, hairy ; ovary-cells 8-16-ova- 

 late. 



104. Freeiera liiirsida; cancel from synonyms " Temstroemia cuneata, Maof." 



105. Quiina; for " cotyledons at length cohering " read aotyledons distinct. 



106. Tovomita; corrections to Char. gen. from Planchon's and Triana's monograph: 

 sepals 2-4, two exterior including the bud ; petals 4-8 ; anthers usually minute : 

 ovary 4-celled ; stigmas 4 ; seeds enclosed by a loose testa with vessels radiating from 

 the hUum. Hence my new species are to be excluded from Tovomita : V-, T. 1m- 

 vetioides is Clusia (?) haiieiioides^ PI. Tr., its congener T. chtsioides, Gr., a Cuba 

 species of which the <? only is known ; 2°, T. Plumieri appears to belong to TovoMi- 

 topsis, PI. Tr. (reduced by Bentham and J. D> Hooker to QkrysaeUamys, Pcepp., 

 though disagreeing by having 2 sepals) ; the loose membrane, enclosing the seed, is 

 here devoid of vessels, and the number of stigmas usually 5 j iadd to its diagnosis : 

 ■^sepals 2; stamens shortly united at the base: filaments mueh longer Ihan the linear 

 (4'" long) anthers. 



107. C&J«« .-ybc" cotyledons distinct " ;•«»<; embryo undivided. Cancels anthers linear, 

 extrorse. 



107. C. rosea ; add : stamens in $ exterior pluriserial, sterile interior ones fonaing a 



snhglobose mass. 

 107. G. alba-'; iaddi stamens in S distinei My 3 specimens (Antigua 1, Wullschl) 



have 5 petals, and agree with Jacquiti's description ; several Cuba specimens (fi. alba, 



PI. Wr.) however belong to C. minor, L. sec. PI. Tr. (C. praietisis. Seem. !, C. Couleti, 



Dnehass.), distinguished by a much smaller calyx soiA Smaller leaves ^ I do not possess 



this species from the British Islands. 

 107. C. ^ava, L. ; add : stamens distinct. 

 107. C. vexosa, Jacq. ; add : Stamens in (^cohering at the base : anthers lineai-, as long as 



the free part of the filament. 

 107. Moronobea coccinea ; for this name an oldel- synonym, vii. Symphonia globuli- 



fera, L. fil., is to be substituted ; the embryo is said to he Undivided. 

 107. Mammea ; for " ovary-cells multiovulate " read 1-2-ovulate. My two sections of 



this genna, as Planchon and Triana have proved against me, are to be regarded as two 



distinct genera, viz. .- 



1°. Sheedia, L. Sepals 2. Stamens inserted ronnd a disk: anthers minute, 



roundish, etc. Embryo ovoid, undivided.— -Leaves not dotted : petiole fm-rowcd at the 



base by an axillary, adnate stipule.
