—GuatemaLa: Coban, Dept. Alta Verapaz, alt. 1350 m., August, 1907, 
H. von Tuerckheim, no. II. 1308 (type, in Gray Herb.). Distributed as 
Leianthus brevidentatus Hemsl., a species described as having dense 
inflorescence, short pedicels, shorter corolla with lobes scarcely 2 mm. 
long, very acute calyx-lobes appressed to the corolla, etc., differences 
which would certainly appear to be of specific value. It is, further- 
more, scarcely likely that the viscidity which is such a conspicuous 
feature of the present species could have been present in L. breviden- 
tatus in like degree and have escaped mention.

Grande Station, Panama railway, 13 December, 1859, Sutton Hayes, 
no. 160 (type, in Gray Herb.). This species is closely related to 8. 
heterophylla Miq. but differs in several points. The stems are percep- 
tibly 6-angled ; the leaves are decidedly longer and relatively narrower 
than in S. heterophylla and the middle ones equal or often exceed the 
internodes, while in S. heterophylla they are much exceeded by the 
internodes. Finally the lobes of the corolla are only 1 cm. long, 1. ¢. 
one third the length of the tube, those of S. heterophylla on the other 
hand being 1.6 em. long, i. e. more than half the length of the tube.
