After Martius, I adduce the synonyme of Sprengel; but the plate 

 above cited represents the stamens as exserted, and gives no squamae 

 or sterile filaments. One of our specimens accords with those dis- 

 tributed by Martius ; the others have mostly larger leaves, more in- 

 clined to obovate, and more cuneate at the base. It is in Salzmann's 

 collection from Bahia, under the name of " Yaccinium laurifolia." It 

 belongs to the section Pitumba.
