MEXICO.— SUPPLEMENT. 
The plants noticed in the following Supplement were gathered by Dr Sinclair, Surgeon of H. M. surveying 
Ship, Sulphur, and transmitted to us at the request of Captain Beechey. They were collected at San Bias, 
or between San Bias and Tepic, in about lat. N. 22°, in December, 1837 ; at Acapulco, N. lat. 17®, in 
January, 1838 ; or at Realejo, N. lat. 12° 45", in February, 1838. This latter place indeed belongs to 
Guatemala; but the Flora of that country, judging from what little we know of it, is so similar to that of 
Mexico, that we have no hesitation in including all under the general head of Mexican Plants.

This solitary specimen appears suffruticose ; Kunth describes his as herbaceous ; but the species appears 
the same.
