31 Britton and Shafer (North Am. Trees, 382, 1908) applied to this species the name Torrubia longifolia 

 (Heimerl) Britton. their opinion being that the genus Torrubia Vallozo better fits the characteristics of 

 Blolly than does Pisonia Linnaeus. 



J. K. Small (in letter of September 13, 1923) informs the writer that Pisonia rotundata Griseback, Tor- 

 rubia rotundata (Griseback) Sudworth occurring naturally in Cuba, has been found in southern Florida.
