Stieria microcap var. foliosa, Clarke i in Urban, Symb. 
Ant. 1900 
Damp field near in ae (Fredholm 3298). Not otherwise 
known from Jamaica. The var foliosa, Clarke, is said to differ 
from the species in the less ciliate margin of the disk, but this 
appears to be a very variable character, and I do not regard it as 
important in this plant. Widely distributed in Tropical Ame- 
rica.
