ACN NOAA L's ' OF THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCKS, VOLUME VII. a I.— Catalogue of the described South American Species of Calyptrate Muscide. BY C. H. TYLER TOWNSEND. Read June 6, 1892. The present catalogue is offered in the hope that it will materially facilitate the study, in this country, of the South American Calyp- trate Muscide. Though it doubtless contains much synonymy, which it is impossible to clear up at the present time, it will never- theless serve as a valuable basis for future study of the group. Much time has been spent in its preparation, and the references have been carefully compared. Most of the synonymy advanced by various authors has been included, so far'as met with. With the quite extensive literature which has been at the writer’s command, it is hoped that the catalogue will be found almost complete up to the present time. For obvious reasons, most of the new genera of Brauer and von Bergenstamm, belonging to South America, are in- cluded and made to embrace the species referred to them, since these authors have critically examined many of the older types and their decisions will have much value in the final placing of the species. So far as possible, a certain natural (?) order has been observed in the sequence of the genera. It is possible, however, that in some eases even the family position of a genus may be misconceived, owing to a more or less incomplete understanding of many of the recent genera. | Annas N. Y. Acap.

Il.—An Enumeration of the Plants Collected by Dr. Thomas Morong in Paraguay, 1888-1890. BY THOMAS MORONG AND N. L. BRITTON, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF MISS ANNA MURRAY VAIL. Read June 6, 1892. The journey in which the plants enumerated and described in this paper were collected was made in the years 1888, 1889, and 1890. It was undertaken under the auspices of the Torrey Botanical Club, and by the aid of two members of that organization and a generous friend of science in Boston, Mass. With the exception of a few plants hastily snatched by the writer at or near Buenos Aires, while waiting to proceed up the Rio de la Plata, the main part of the specimens was obtained in central Para- guay within a radius of i100 miles from Asuncion. In January, 1890, an exploration of the Pileomayo River, a tributary of the Paraguay which forms the boundary line between western Para- guay and the Argentine Republic, was set on foot by the Paraguay Land Company, and the writer was invited to act as naturalist of the expedition. A small steamer was built in England for the pur- pose, and sent up the river under the command of Prof. O. J. Storm, of Buenos Aires. After a well nigh herculean effort, lasting six months, to overcome the obstructions of this little stream, consist- ing of shallows, sand-bars, and innumerable snags and old logs, and after proceeding nearly 400 miles, stemming on the way many swift and dangerous rapids and a waterfall around which the steamer was dragged by land, we encountered an immense swamp or lagoon overgrown with grasses and weeds through which it was impossible © to force a way by any means at our command, and the expedition was necessarily abandoned. All of this region, lying in the Gran Chaco, is uninhabited except by tribes of roving savages, and much of it had never been previously traversed by civilized men. Here a considerable, and not the least interesting, portion of the plants was collected. The notes appended to the species are taken in all cases from Awnnaus N. Y. Acap. Scr., VII, Dec. 1892. 46 Plants Collected in Paraguay. written descriptions made by the collector in the field, or from fresh specimens directly after reaching home. The observations and measurements are entirely his own, none of them being drawn from the works cited in the naming of the species, and they simply record what he saw himself whether they conform exactly to the published descriptions or not. The determinations of the genera and species are due principally to Prof. N. L Britton, of Columbia College, who visited the Her- baria at Kew, the British Museum, Paris, and Geneva in the sum- mer of 1891, and compared such as could not be matched in the Herbarium of Columbia with the vast collections stored in those places. He was aided in his researches by such eminent Huropean bota- nists as J. G. Baker, Edmund Baker, A. Cogniaux, N. E. Brown, M. T. Masters, A. Franchet, Casimir DeCandolle, and R. A. Rolfe, who courteously named many of the plants belonging to genera in which they are experts. Prof. Britton’s descriptions of new species and occasional notes - bear his signature. | In this joint work we have been greatly assisted by Miss Anna Murray Vail, who has not only consulted many publications in the attempt to identify the species, but also sorted out the plants, ar- ranged them in systematic order, and devoted much time and labor to preparing the labels and distributing the specimens to subscribers. So much care has been exercised in the identification of the spe- cies, that we feel sure that the names are substantially correct.

This is not the large edible Chirimoya so common in Peru and the more northern South American countries, which, so far as I know, does not occur in Paraguay. It is a slender shrub with a handsome head of green, coriaceous leaves, 3-5 m. high, and some- times a small tree of twice that height. The flowers are curiously constructed, consisting of 3 small, ovate, appressed sepals, and 6 petals, the 3 outer of which are yellow, flat bodies that stand edge upwards in a triangular position. These when drawn down at the base exhibit 3 other petals entirely unlike the outer ones, being small, rounded, and meeting in a whorl at the summit, with a pur- ple interior. Under these is a ball or arch of cohering stamens, which are completely concealed by the overlapping inner petals. Under all is another ball or arch of styles and stigmas, and this is completely enclosed by the over-arching mass of stamens. I could see no possible manner in which the pollen could reach the stigmas, and am satisfied that it must be done as in the next species of the same order, which I examined more closely. Anona cornifolia, St. Hil., Fl. Bras. Merid., i, 33. Ex. descr. Asuncion and Pilecomayo River (149). November. = Gibert, No. 1095. The outer petals here are not erect as in Rollinia, but flat and imbricated over the inner ones. A very similar arrangement of the stamens and pistils occurs however. The stamens are in an arched disk, the central ones apparently infertile, and all cohering by trun- cate callous connectives under which are the anthers. The stigmas 48 Plants Collected in Paraguay. lie under the thick mass of infertile stamens, and so far as I could judge entirely out of the reach of the pollen by any action of the organs themselves. I found, however, that the pollen was very plentiful, and that a pin thrust through the anthers obliquely would carry its grains to the stigmas. There seemed in the older flowers to be evidence that this operation is performed by insects, and I came to the conclusion that, as in the case of Hupomatia, described by Maout and Decaisne, the plant must always depend for fructifi- cation upon insect agency. The fact that fruit is seldom found upon the shrub confirms the idea. I often obtained flowers both of this and Rollinia, but not one in ten of the flowers formed fruit. In both cases the fruit is a large, irregularly shaped berry containing ~many seeds imbedded in a pulpy aril, and said by the people to be edible. They are very inferior to the Chirimoya or custard apple, to which they are closely allied. MENISPERMACE. Cissampelos Pareira, L., Sp. Pl., 1473.

Hort., Feb. 15, 1853 (V. regia, Lindl.). In lagoons near Asuncion (281). December—January. This famous flower is abundant in the lagoons on the Paraguay ’ River, and is found as far south as Corrientes. The popular name which it bears, ‘‘ Mais del agua,” is derived from the use made of its seeds. These are about as large as buck-shot, and are gathered by the natives and roasted or pounded into meal, from which very palatable and nutritious bread is made. PAPAVERACE A.

Flower bud tetragonous (not triquetrous, as in C. T'weediana). Stamens 5 (in C. crotonotdes 6-8). A common shrub or small tree on the Pilcomayo, with roundish leaves, which are green and glabrous above and white tomentose beneath. It blossoms late in May and then sparsely. The flowers are peculiar, with 4 spreading yellowish-green sepals and as many rn Plants Collected in Paraguay. 51 petals, 5 long stamens, alternate with as many staminodia or disk projections, and an ovary on a stellately downy stipe 24 cm. long. The flowers themselves are borne on a stellately downy peduncle 14-2 cm. in length. The trunk of this shrub has near the base light brown scaly bark, smooth and yellowish above. Cratzeva Tapia, L., Sp. Pl., 444. Asuncion (820); Pilcomayo River (897). A fine tree growing around Asuncion and far up on the Pilco- mayo River. It reaches a height of 16 m. or more. It has a smooth gray bark, and smooth, glossy, ternate leaves. The flowers are white in thick clusters at the ends of the branches, on pedicels 23-33 cm. long. The fruit at the time I saw it, January 24, was nearly as large as a lemon, on peduncles 7-12 cm. long, solitary. green on the outside, with a thick white meat on the inside, contain- ing many seeds irregularly disposed. The tree is known among the Paraguayan natives as ‘‘ Papaguayan”’ (name of a tribe of Paraguayan Indians) or ‘‘ Indian orange,” and it is said that the fruit is eaten as an orange by the Indians. Its numerous, large dark green leaves well adapt it for an ornamental shade tree, as which it is sometimes used in Paraguay. Flowers in October, fruits in January. VIOLARILA. Calceolaria Brasiliensis, Britton. Tonidium album, St. Hil., not C. alba, R. and P. Caballero (410). January. Calceolaria communis (St. Hil.), Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl., 41. Near Pirayu (662). April. This interesting plant growing in open woods is a suffruticose herb about 1 m.in height. The delicate white flowers are peculiar, entirely losing their character in dried specimens. There are 5 free, hairy, persistent sepals, and 5 distinct petals, 4 of them minute and the 5th larger and standing out prominently from the rest, with upturned edges which give it the appearance of a miniature sugar scoop. Stamens 5, the 2 lowest with short white spurs; filaments broad; anthers somewhat sagittate, the cells long and parallel, sur- mounted by a brownish sharp-pointed cap. The seeds, at first shal- low pitted, when fully ripe are nearly smooth, black and shining. 52 Plants Collected in Paraguay. BIXINE A. Myroxylon Salzmannii (Clos.), Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl., 44.

Leaves coriaceous, round or oval, often cuneate, serrate, with 2 glands on the petiole at the base of the blade. Flowers small, white, apetalous, in clusters, the staminate with 4 or 5 ciliate, ovate sepals, the peduncles and pedi- cels subtended by several ciliate bracts; stamens numerous, the fila- ments Jong, yellow, much exserted, and the anthers small, round, yellow, 2-celled, opening by slits above. Pistillate flower on an articulated pedicel, with 5 round, ciliate sepals which are persistent on the fruit. The fruit, about as large as a huckleberry, is blackish- purple when ripe. In fact, I thought it was a huckleberry when I found it. Berries very numerous, rather insipid in taste. The spines are generally at the base of the leaves, and seem to take the place of stipules, The staminate and pistillate plants often far apart. POLYGALE. Polygala Areguensis, A. W. Bennett, Jour.

I had ample opportunity to examine this plant on my Pilecomayo expedition, as it is not infrequent on the muddy banks of that river. It much resembles our common ‘‘Corn Cockle” in general appear- ance. In height it rises from one to two feet dichotomously much branched. The flowers are in irregular cymes at the ends of the branches, each on a short subulate pedicel. Calyx of 5 green sepals, membranous and white on their edges, persistent. Petals 5, white, much smaller than the sepals and hidden by them except when expanded. The 5 hypogynous stamens, opposite the petals, are on very delicate filaments, which are slightly dilated at the base. Ovary superior, 1-celled, many-ovuled, 2-4 mm. in length, increas- ing in fruit to an obtusely 3-angled, 1-celled pod a little longer than the sepals. The pod is filled with flat seeds, which lie horizontally upon each other, and have a broad, membranous wing notched on one side. The plant rises from a long, yellow tap-root. Polycarpa australis, Britton, n. sp. Diffuse, glabrous, much-branched, the branches ascending, terete, 20-50 em. long.

This Portulaca is very common around Asuncion, often growing in the streets of the city, and abundant in the sandy soil of the environs. It varies very much, however, in the size of the flowers, often showing a corolla not larger than a dime in diameter and again 3 times as large. It is usually of a bright purple or rose tint, but sometimes yellow. Its gay-colored corolla, fully expanded in the morning sun, scattered in masses over the green sward, often tempted me into early walks while the dew still lay upon the ground. Talinum crassifolium (Jacq.), Willd., Sp. Pl., ii, 862. Asuncion (104and 677). = Balansa 2253. November—January. A small branching plant 15-20 cm. high, with small terminal clusters of pretty rose-colored or sometimes yellowish-brown blos- soms. Leaves succulent, obovate, 4 or 5 cm. long, rounded at apex, and sloping at base into a short petiole. Capsule white, as large as a pea, l-celled, containing many small, black, striolate, cochleate seeds. In ordinary drying, this plant goes to fragments, and the only method by which I could preserve specimens whole, was to steep the fresh plant in boiling water. Talinum patenms (Jacq.), Willd., Sp.

Flowers white or yel- low, in long, terminal panicles, on a leafless peduncle 10-15 em. long. Leaves all near the base of the stem, obovate, rounded or abruptly pointed at the apex, 5-12 cm. long, sloping at the base into a short petiole. Stem reaches a height of 6 dm., and the panicle 24 dm. Plants Collected in Paraguay. 55 MALVACEA. This order is very prolific of species and individuals in Paraguay. Indeed, some of the species run so closely together that it is not easy to separate them. In a radius of 3 or 4 miles, on the Pilco- mayo River, I found no less than 12 or 15 species of the small, shrubby forms which insensibly graded into each other, and even the genera were hard to distinguish.

The fruit is striking, being a broad, flat pod of 10-12 peculiar carpels with grooves between them. A row of short, stiff hairs stands on each carpellary edge, and at the commencement of the curve of the point there are 2 minute pro- jections, the point ending in 2 similar projections, each of which is tipped with a weak spine. In the perfectly mature fruit, these rows of bairs make the carpels quite rough. Each carpel contains a sin- gle large, flat, smooth seed which perfectly fills it.
