Distictis cinerea. Pithecoctenium cinereum, DC. Prodr. ix. 195, 
Although only flowering specimens of this species are at hand, I have 
bo hesitation in transferring it to the genus Distictis as its affinity is 
clearly with D. laxiflora and D. gnaphalantha. D. cinerea differs from 
D. laxiflora by the more ovate or oval character of the leaflets and the 
more dense cinereous pubescence on leaves and branches. — To this 
species may be referred specimens collected by E. W. Nelson near Tama- 
zulapam, altitude 2000 to 2150 m., 16 November, 1894, no. 1958. 
M. Casimir DeCandolle has very kindly identified this as well as the 
Preceding species with the types in the DeCandolle Herbarium at 
Geneva, 
Distieris GNAPHALANTHA, Benth. & Hook. f. Gen. ii. 1038. To 
this species may be referred specimens collected by Mr. Robert Combs 
at Calicita, Cuba, 31 May, 1895, no. 106, distributed under Bignonia 
Japhalantha, Rich. 
Dyscuorisre QUADRANGULARIS, O. Kuntze, Rev. Gen. PI. ii. 486. 
Calophanes quadrangularis, Oerst., Vidensk. Meddel. 1854, 120. It is 
Interesting to note that this apparently rare plant has been collected at 
Las Canoas, State of San Luis Potosi, 29 August, 1891, Pringle, no. 
5020, Mr. Pringle’s plant hitherto having been confused with D. bila- 
biatus, O. Kuntze, 1. ¢. (Calophanes bilabiatus, Seem.), from which 
Species, however, it is readily distinguished by the smaller flowers, and 
by the absence of a glandular pubescence.

The ty pe of Dr. Watson’s B. Pringle’, upon careful comparison with an 
authentic Specimen of the above species collected at Monterey by Dr. 
Wards, shows an exact correspondence in every regard, and it also
