40 Pros on is dulci sHunth(? /Isn't it Hunts e?) A shrub or tree. Often flower- 
ing when 6 ft. high, but is often a spreading tree, 40 ft. high.Ve.ri 
ies greatly in the leaves, spines etc. Very common near the coast, a 
and seen occasionally 8-10 miles inland. The foliage has a peculiar

4S Meibomia adscendens (Sw.) Hun tze, Trailing, branched ascending. Flowers 
rosy.hocal open places and clearings S000-5000 ft. (specimens are 
from Jiracasaca ,S5Q0 ft. Sept. g9) Full set, good, with fruit. 
42 (Already sent' in) Specimen from swampy land by the sea-coast at Bu- 
ritaca,Sept.27. This species ranges from the coast to 5000 ft, but' x 
in the region near Santa Marta it is seldom seen below 1000 ft. The 
flower is pink or rosy, varying somewhat in depth of coloring. The 
branches are ascending or partly trailing, some times 2-2f ft long. 
45 Meibomia axillaris ( L. iHuntzef already sent in) Specimens from a boggy 
end shady place near Masinga, 550 ft. Apr. .25, I suppose that thie is a 
variety of No., 44, but the characters are constant in a series of 
specimens from different localities. The plBnt grows in wet and 
shadjs places below 1000 ft. ; the branches are trailing and often 
rooting, 1-2 ft. long; flower stalks erect; flower deep rosy, as in M 
No. 44. 
Probably No. 45 is another vardity of No. 44, but my material at 
that form is insufficient.

46 Meibomia supina (Sw.) Britton. Variety from forest at Minca,2000 ft.

lected in forest eh Campo Alegre, 1800 ft. 
46 (Variety)? Ascending 12-18 inches. Flowers whi^te,. Damp and shady 
places below 2500 ft. ;local and not common. 
I plane this here provisionally as I have no mature fruits 
which certainly belong to this form; the tormentum seems to be more 
deeply notched than it is in the pink-flowered form and the leaflets 
ans generally longer, Thd specimen with root is from Mince., June 8; the 
other from a clearing near Masinga, 200 ft., March 26,
