CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY. 
piso majore, 4-pyrena, pyrenibus generis. — In Antillis : v. s. 
in herb. Mas. Brit., Jamaica (in hb. Sloan, vol. vii. folio 36, 
planta inferior); loc. ignot (Aublet); Cuba (Wright, 3121 in 
parte) ; in herb. Hook.., Jamaica (March). 
Sloane probably regarded this plant as a variety of his 
typical species, as it is fixed on the same sheet, without any 
remark. Lamarck, in his ‘ Illustrations,’ estabhshed the species 
upon a plant which he recognized as being similar to it. 
Poiret quotes Lamarck’s type as his authority, confounding it 
with Sloane’s first type : hence the confusion to which De- 
Candolle alludes. The species is sufficiently distinct. The 
leaves are lj-l| inch long, 6-10 lines broad, on a petiole 
3-4 lines long. In Aublet’ s plant they are more scabrid, the 
hairs rising out of minute white tubercles ; the calyx is 2| lines 
long, the tube of the corolla 3 lines, the lobes 2^ lines long. 
Wright’s plant above mentioned was considered identical with 
another under the same number by Dr. Grisebach ; the latter 
is in reality B. Havanensis ; but he referred both erroneously 
to B. virgata.

The above plants correspond with Kunth’s diagnosis, except 
that the leaves are a trifle larger ; in La Sagra’s plant they
