8 MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN [VOL. 10 



9. Staminodia subulate or lance-capitate, free to the base; cupulate corona 

 lacking. 



10. Sepals 8-10; stamens 10, biporous; seed linear-elliptic, acute at both 



ends, narrowly winged. (4 spp. acc. Dwyer.) 7. Blast emanthus. 



10. Sepals 5; stamens 5, uniporous; body of seed oval, broadly mem- 

 branous-winged. (3-4 spp.). 8. Poecilandra. 



9. Staminodia, at least the inner whorl, oblong or oblanceolate, united at 

 the base into a cupulate corona. 



11. Seed conspicuously membranous-winged; stipules greatly inequilateral, 

 the left-hand member before vernation tightly enwrapping the blade. 



(8 spp.) 9. Tyleria. 



11. Seed not at all winged. 



12. Sepals conspicuously glandular; seed strongly muriculate; stipules 



equilateral, auriculiform. (1 sp.) 10. Adenarake. 



12. Sepals not at all glandular. 



13. Segments of the exterior corona united almost to the summit, 

 thus forming a deep cup; interior corona lacking. (9 spp. acc. 

 Dwyer.) 11. Lavradia. 



13. Segments of the corona united at the base, thus forming a shallow 

 cup ; interior corona often present. 

 14. Ovules several, obviously parietal. (± 20 spp.) 12. Sauvagesia. 



14. Ovules 1 or 2, basal. 



15. Shrubs ; stipules conspicuous, usually persistent ; flowers 



axillary. (1 sp.) 13. Leitgebia. 



15. Herbaceous perennials; stipules minute, caducous; inflores- 

 cence paniculate, terminal. (1 sp.) 14. Pcntaspatella. 



4. Pistils bicarpellate ; suture of the capsule not at all intruded ; ovules parietal. 

 16. Sepals conspicuously glandular; androecial corona and staminodia strongly 

 developed ; capsule thin-walled, the seed membranous-winged ; leaves ses- 

 sile, the equilateral, broadly ovate stipules persistent ; secondary veins of 

 the blade numerous, 5-6 per mm, ascending at 75-85° angle. (1 sp.) 



15. Adenanthe. 



16. Sepals eglandular; androecial corona and staminodia lacking; capsule 

 thick-walled, woody, the seed not winged; leaves conspicuously petiolate, 

 the narrowly lanceolate inequilateral stipules quickly deciduous; secondary 

 veins numerous, 6-8 per mm, ascending at ca. 35-45° angle. (2 spp.) 



16. Wallacea. 



3. Stamens incompletely cyclic, i.e. inequilaterally arranged to one side of the base 

 of t^e ovary. 



17. Capsule dehiscing from the base upAvard, remaining attached at the 

 apex ; ventral cells of the anther longer than and forming a distinct cap or 

 projection over the dorsal; leaves not apically aristate. (3 spp.) 17. Philacra. 



17. Capsule dehiscing from the apex, at length the carpels free to the base; 

 ventral cells of the anther not forming a cap over the dorsal; leaves char- 

 acteristically apically aristate. (16 spp. acc. Dwyer.) 18. Luxemburgia. 



Cespedezia spathulata (R. & P.) Planch, Lond. Jour. Bot. 5: 647. 1846. 



In the revision of the genus by Dwyer, 3 the range of this handsome tree 

 was given as British Guiana, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. It could 

 reasonably have been expected to occur also in Venezuela. 'We now have 

 the following three records, all from mixed submontane rain-forest in Terr. 

 Amazonas, Venezuela : Cerro Huachamacari, Maguire, Cowan & Wurdach 30345; 

 Cerro Yutaje. Maguire & Maguire 35027 ; and Cerro Coro-Coro, Maguire & 

 Maguire 35511.
