locality. The plant has now been rediscovered by Mr. Pringle on 
Shaded ledges in the barranca of Tequila, 14 October, 1893 (no. 
4550), thus definitely establishing its geographical position. We are 
indebted to M. Autran of the Boissier Herbarium for a positive 
identification of Mr. Pringle’s specimens with the type. Some of the 
leaves show a slight tendency to be 3-lobed and somewhat repand. 
Evpnorsia JALiscensis. Glabrous and somewhat glaucous: 
stem stout, erect, dichotomous, striate: leaves panduriform, dentate 
near the apex and base, obtuse, paler beneath, 2} inches long, 14-2 
inches broad, narrowed at the base; petioles 8-10 lines long, flat, 
striate, purple above and with narrow green margins: glands 4, oblong; 
appendages narrow, green, 2-parted; divisions bluntly toothed: seg- 
ments of the involucre fimbriated: capsule large, short-oblong, gla- 
brous, 8 lines long, 2} lines broad; seeds columnar, tetragonal, mottled, 
1} lines long; caruncle conspicuous, cup-shaped. — Collected in the 
barranea of Tequila, 26 September, 1893 (no. 4608). A plant with 
much the habit of H. Francoana, Boiss., and Z. cuphosperma, Boiss., 
as well as some forms of Z. heterophylla, L. From all these it is dis- 
tinguished by its considerably larger capsules. 
PHYLLANTHUS TreQuitensis. Branches subterete, with a reddish- 
brown, scaly bark; branchlets more or less distinctly angled: leaves 
distichous, large, ovate-elliptic, rounded to acute at the apex, rounded 
at the base, smooth and glaucous upon both surfaces, paler beneath ; 
the larger ones about 4 inches long, 3 inches broad; veins white, 
slightly prominent beneath ; petioles 2 lines long; stipules oblan- 
ceolate, obtusish at the apex, cuneate at the base, 4-5 lines long, 
harrowly white-margined, deciduous: staminate inflorescences chiefly 
axillary, cymose or cymose-paniculate, many flowered, 1-2 inches 
ng; branches filiform; pedicels 1-1} lines long; fertile inflores- 
fences terminal upon short branches, fewer flowered ; pedicels a little 
thicker and longer: calyx of the staminate flower 6-parted ; segments 
roadly oblong, rounded at the apex, inconspicuously pinnately veined, 
! line long; glands 6, often somewhat united into pairs, transversely 
elliptical, crenate : stamineal column scarcely developed, not at all pro- 
duced beyond the anthers; anthers only two, 2-celled, transversely 
dehiscent : calyx of the fertile flower 6—7-parted; segments 1} lines" 
long ; glandular cup 6-7-lobed : styles 3, shortly bifid; mature capsule 
depressed-globose, shallowly 5-lobed, glabrous, reticulated, 14 inches 
in diameter, excavated at the base; seeds ovate in outline, finely 
nr 4 lines long. — Collected upon hills about Tequila, Jalisoo, 
July and 2 October, 1893 (no. 5490). This species is reluctan ly ie
