content: This specimen was labeled and filed as Psilactis asteroides A. Gray (Asteraceae), clearly erroneously as it is a bromeliad. It appears to be a duplicate of the type collection of Hechtia elliptica L.B. Sm., also Palmer 205 but collected in Coahuila, June 1898 (not Durango, 1896 as erroneously labeled with this specimen).
