Abstract
Gundlachia, a genus of shrubs occurring in the Caribbean islands, is t reated as comprising two species, one of which has six varieties. Five new combinations are made: Gundlachia corymbosa var. apiculata (Britt on & S. F. Blake) M. A. Lane, G. corymbosa var. compacta (Urb. & Ekman ) M. A. Lane, G. corymbosa var. cubana (Britton & S. F. Blake) M. A. L ane, G. corymbosa var. foliosa (Britton & S. F. Blake) M. A. Lane, and G. corymbosa var. ocoana (Urb. & Ekman) M. A. Lane. Gundlachia is pro bably most closely related to Gymnosperma.
