Blake —— Notes on Clibadium 3 
throughout, from which by reduction of the receptacular chaff the 
species of Huclibadium have been derived. 
In O. E. Schulz’s monograph of 1912 nineteen species and two 
varieties were recognized of the thirty or more which have been 
described by authors. In the present paper five new species are 
described, one published by Hieronymus as a Desmanthodium is 
transferred to Clibadium, and the name of one species is changed 
as the result of an examination of two of Aublet’s types in the 
British Museum. In this as in so many other cases I have to ex- 
press my thanks to Dr. A. B. Rendle of the British Museum and 
Dr. Otto Stapf of the Kew Herbarium for the opportunity to study 
the collections under their charge, and to secure fragments of types 
for the Gray Herbarium. The order of Schulz’s monograph is 
followed in the arrangement of the species. 
CLIBADIUM SURINAMENSE L. To this species may be referred 
Hayes 401, from Paraiso Station, Panama Railway, August 1862, 
which has been included by Hemsley (Biol. Centr.-Am. Bot. ii. 
143) under C. leiocarpum Steetz. 
C. SYLVEsTRE (Aubl.) Baill., referred by Schulz to C. surina- 
mense, is identical with C. Vargasii DC. and should replace it 
(see beyond).
