UrricULARIA JUNCEA Vahl. This species, not hitherto reported 
from Central America, was collected by Prof. Peck in mud near 
Manatee Lagoon, 10 Oct. 1905 (no. 165). Only a single specimen 
bearing a single flower was secured. 
UrricuLARIA JUNCEA Vahl forma minima, forma nov. Planta 
1-flora 3-7.5em. alta; corolla paullo minor (calecare 5-6 mm. 
longo); ceterum ut in forma typica.— British Honpuras: 
Toledo, 12 Sept. 1906, M. E. Peck 502a (ryPE in Gray Herb.). 
— From all other examples of U. juncea examined the present 
plant is distinguished by its tiny size; the flowers, however, 
identical in every observed character with those of the typical 
form, are only very slightly smaller than in the latter. Unfortu- 
nately it is impossible to give full data for this collection, as the 
reference in Prof. Peck’s notes under the number 502 relates to a 
species of Ficus. 
UrricULARIA macerrima, sp. nov. Herba ad 5 dm. longa 
glabra, radiculis paucis fibrosis ut videtur ampullis destitutis, foliis 
nullis. Caulis 2-3-florus tenuissimus ut videtur laxus simplex vel 
infra medium ramo longo donatus, squamis ca. 8 lanceolatis acumi- 
natis plus minusve serrulatis basi adfixis ad 1 mm. longis praeditus. 
Bracteae ternatae: media lanceolato-ovata acuminata lacerato- 
denticulata (dentibus ca. 3-4-jugis inferioribus longis curvatis 
superioribus brevioribus) ad 1.5mm. longa; laterales lineari- 
subulatae parce dentato-laceratae ad 0.8mm. longae; pedicelli 
adscendentes tenues nudi 4.5mm. longi. Flores 2-3 verisim. 
flavi. Sepalum superius orbiculari-ovatum obtusum distincte ob- 
tusissimeque crenatum ca. 13-nerve 2.5 mm. longum 3 mm. 
latum; inferius simile ca. 9-nervium 2 mm. longum 2.5 mm. latum. 
Labium corollae superius ovali-oblongum integrum apice rotun- 
datum 3.5mm. longum 1.8mm. latum; inferius (imperfectum) 
ut videtur eo U. junceae simile (integrum marginibus recte descen- 
dentibus palato non prominente) ad 4 mm. longum 4.5 mm. altum; 
calear recte pendens anguste subulatum acutum 6 mm. longum.

Lagoon, 25 Nov. 1905, M. E. Peck 222 (rypz in Gray Herb.). — 
Likewise a member of the U. juncea group, but very distinct among 
North American species in its lacerate bracteasand distinct pedicels, 
and apparently not identical with any of the numerous species de- 
scribed from South America, very few of which are in the Gray
