Vitis caribaea (cont) 

Flowers: Fertile,- minute, stamens erect or horizontal, nearly as long 
as the pedicels, disdlarge; ovary minute, globose-conicals style short. 
Berries: Described by DeCandolle as very small, globular and glabrous. 
Thies description suits well the berries received from Jamaica and Honduras, 
Central America. 
Seeds: 2 to 3, very small, ovoid, subcordate, chestnut color, beak short, i‘ 
raphe filiform, chalaga obovate or orbicular, in center of back of seed (DeCandolle), 
MacFadeyn Fl. Ham. p.l81. Those obtained by me from Jamaica and Honduras agree 
with=this description. 
Distributed along the coast of Mexico, Sentral America and among the West 
Indies, but not in the United States.
