DISCUSSION.— Stenandrium droseroides has been reported from the Bahamas (Britton and Millspaugh 1920; Correll and Correll 1982) and Cuba (León and Alain 1957; Dietrich 1983, 1984). Lindau (1900) noted minor differences between S. droseroides and S. tuberosum (as S. rupestre ؊ He described bracts 6–7 mm long and pubescent foliage in S. tuberosum and bracts ca. 3 mm long and hirsute leaves in S. droseroides . León and Alain (1957) characterized bracts of S. droseroides as 3–5 mm long and Dietrich (1983) noted they were up to 9 mm long in S. droseroides . Dietrich (1984) then used the phrase “ Stenandrium droseroides s.l. ” but did not explicitly synonymize any names. Jennings (1917) expressed doubt that S. acuminatum and S. droseroides were distinguishable from S. tuberosum . The corollas of S. droseroides and S. heterotrichum are white, whereas all others within the S. tuberosum complex are said to be pink (León and Alain 1957; Dietrich 1983; Dietrich 1984).
The type specimen of S. droseroides was cited as a Ramón de la Sagra specimen from the de Candolle herbarium (at G), of which a duplicate is presumed to have been given to Nees. The label of the holotype at G has separate annotations matching the handwriting of Nees (as “ Stenandrium droseroides ”) and de Candolle (as “ Ramon de la Sagra”). The label of the isotype at GZU bears the handwriting of Nees. The label of the probable isotype at P matches the handwriting of de Candolle. The variability in leaf size and pubescence on the isotype specimen of S. droseroides at P is noteworthy. The specimen also erroneously contains a label for Crescentia cucurbitina L. collect- ed by Charles Wright which is not present on the sheet.

Varadero, lomas de Camarioca al sur de cantel, suelo serpentinoso, 19 Jul 1977, Bisse et al. Fl. de Cuba 35002 (holotype: HAJB; isotype JE) .
DISCUSSION.— This subspecies has been reported only from Cuba. The bracts of Stenandrium droseroides subsp. longibracteatum were described as being 12–14 mm long ( Dietrich 1983).
