 in the herbarium of 1 1 » « * Missouri Botanical Garden there is ;i sheet (prop- 

 erly labeled t. integerrimum) without data, other than thai it is of the Bern 

 hardi herbarium. 



The perfectly entire margins will distinguish this species .-it « from all 



excepting L. neogranatense t to which ii must be nearly allied. Sec under I.

6 In the Gray Herbarium there are tWO sheets of qo S41, both being .1. in- 

 tegerrimum; and no. s|i in the Sauvalle Herbarium at Havana. Cuba, is the 

 same. The material which should be under this number at the 1 >. < '. Baton 

 Herbarium is not to be found, nor is this number in the herbarium Of the New- 

 York Botanical Garden. Christ (Engler's Bot Jahrb. 24:106.1897) has listed 

 a specimen of no. Ml as l. vomeriforme Hook. (Sp. Fil. 3: LOO. pi. 162. 1800). 

 The plant thus referred may be either i. salicifoHum or .1. rectangulare. 

 A. vomeriforme is apparently confined to Peru and seems quite distinct from 

 either.
