61 J. K. Small (Flor. So. E. U. S., 576, 1903) has established a new genus Hanardia, under which this 

 species appears as Hanardia brevifolia (Bentham) Small. In this sequence should be noted the occurrence 

 in southern Florida (keys) of Pithecolobium Guadalupense Chapman. I have not seen this plant in Florida 

 where it appears to be "a shrub. In the Bahamas, however, it becomes a small tree, and on this ground 

 Britton and Shafer (North. Am. Trees, 516, 1908) very properly have added it to our tree flora. 



"J. K. Small (1. c.) has established the genus Siderocarpos, in which this species is placed as Siderocarpos 

 fleiicaulis (Bentham) Small.
