1. Cordia (G e ra sc an th u s) tomentosa. Cham, in Linnæa, v. 4. p . 472.
Hab. Between San Bias and Tepic.—This exactly agrees with authentic specimens of C. tomentosa from
tropical Brazil in our Herbarium. The species is at once distinguished from G. Gerascanthus, nobis (supra,
p. 304.) whieh we believe to be the true plant of Jacquin, by the larger, more acute leaves, less tapering at
the base, clothed beneath with stellated pubescence, by the smaller flowers and shorter calyx, in proportion to
its size.
2. C. (Va rro n ia ) multispicata. Cham, et Schlecht. in Linnæa, 4, p . 490.
H ab, Between Saii Bias and Tepic.—This differs in no respect from our authentic specimen from the
Berlin Herbarium, except in the leaves being of a thinner and more membranaceous character.

Hab. Realejo.—This seems to agree with the L . geminata, H.B.K. except that the leaves are more
generally obtuse than acute.—It is also nearly allied to L . microphylla, Cham, et Schlecht.: but there the
leaves are smaller, more harsh and wrinkled, and the scales of the capitula are acuminated.

subviscosis, fructiferis acutis obliquis rigidis, dentibus lanceolato-subulatis sub-
spinescentibus, corolla calyce parum longiore leviter pubescente. Benth.
H a b . Between San Bias and Tepic.—This is the same plant with Hartweg’s n. 170 from Bolanos, and of
which Mr Bentham says, “ Species distinctissima, habitu quodammodo H. rubicundam refert, inter Po lydesmia
et Minthidio media.”
