So far as I am aware, the only previous record of a member of 
this genus in Central America is that by J. D. Smith (PI. Guat. 
iv. 117 (1895)) of A. Vargasianum DC. from Honduras (Thieme 
(distr. J. D. Smith) 5392). This number, represented in the Gray 
Herbarium by flowering material only, seems correctly assigned 
generically. If DeCandolle’s description of the ealyx and corolla 
in his species as glabriusculous is correct, however, it can hardly 
be identical with A. Vargasianum.
