PREFATORY NOTE.
In the act of Congress making appropriation for the Department of
Agricultnre for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, provision was
made for botanical exploration and the collecting of plants in little
known districts of America in connection with the U. S. National
Herbarinm; and since that time a similar provision has been made
annually. As a partial result of this appropriation the Division of
Botany has issued heretofore two completed volumes, ii and iv, of a
series of publications entitled Contributions from the U. S. National
Herbarium. The present volume, issued in nine parts, is made up
chiefly of reports on collections made by Dr. Edward Palmer in the
southwestern United States and adjacent portions of Mexico, together
with other collections made by agents of the Government.

LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY DR. EDWARD PALMER IN
LOWER CALIFORNIA IN 1889.
By Grorok Vasky aod J. N. Rose.
In volume xi of the Proceedings of the TJ, S. National Musenm we
published an account of the plants of San Quentin and a partial report
on those collected about Lagoon Head. The present paper will begin with
the Lagoon Head plants, and will incl ude a list of the species of Oedros, San
Benito, and Guadalupe Islands. Mr, T. S. Brandegee, of the California
Academy of Science, collected over some of the same ground visited by
Dr. Palmer, and has rediscovered several of the new species described
in the former paper. And now several of the species recently described
by him are included in the present list. We are indebted to a number
of botanists for assistance in the working up of these plants ; especially
to Dr. Sereno Watson, who has carefully looked over doubtful forms,
and to Mr. William Canby, who has generously loaned us many speci-
mens. Other botanists who have aided us in identifying species will
be referred to in the proper place. In this paper we give reference to
the first publication of the species, under the genus in which it is now
included, when not found in the Botany of California or Gray's Syn.
Flora.
PLANTS OF LAGOON HEAD.
A partial list of the plants of this region has been published in the
Proceedings of the National Museum, vol. xi, pp. 534-^36.
Lagoon Head, Lower California, the Cabo Negro of the old Spanish
charts, is a high, dark-colored headland of volcanic origin ; it« highest
point is 476 feet above high-water mark, and in clear weather it can be
seen at a distance of 30 to 40 miles, presenting the appearance of an
island.
794. EBchflcholtzia peninsnlaiis Greene. Ball. Cal. Acad, I. 6 8. In the sand
plain back from the ocean. Only a few plants found in bloom.
823. Eschscholtzia minutiflora Watson. Fonnd in a caflon 30 miles inland,
growing in sandy soil ; "roots qnite red." If this is correctly referred, the
range of the species is extended considerably sonthward.

834. Biscutella Califomica B. & If. Mr. Watson thinks tliis may be distinct
from B. Calif or iiica. Dr. Pailuier reiH>rts it very common on tlie sandy bills
and pbiin near tbe beach. The ** yellowish white" becoming pnrple id
drying.
815. Arabia peotinata Greene. Pitt. I. 287. This recently described species of Mr.
Greene was c\>IIocted this season by Lieutenant Pond at San Bartolome
Bay and also on Cedros Island by Dr. Palnier. Collected on sandy spot
among hills 40 miles back fromtho ocean. ** Bloom white changed to manve
by age."
821. SiBymbrium Brandegeana Rose, n. sp. Annual, glabrons, slender, simple
or branching, 6 to ir> inches high: leaves small (1 to 2 inches long),
pinnat4^1y divided into a few fiiitbrni segineiits: petals one and one-half
lines long, twice the length of the si^pals, white: pods th roe-fourths of an

straight but mostly curving npward, tipped with a thick, obtuse style (one
line long), on short pedicels. Common in shady soil al)out the beach.
767. Drymaria viscosa Watson. Proc. Amer. Acad., XX, 4G7. A very common
plant on sandy places near the ocean. Tbe plants grow in great mats cov-
ering the saiid. Ouly before collected by Mr. C. R. Orcutt in northern
Lower California and by Mr. Braudegee at Magdalena Island and San Qre-
goria. Dr. Palmer has collected a large (Quantity of this plant.
765. Eroditim Tezanum Gray. Common on gravelly hills.
818. Fagonia Califomica Bent h. Grows among rocks in ai cafion 30 miles inland-
827. Tlie same. But three plants found on the hills near tlio beach.
829. Phaseolus filiformis Benth. Vei-y conmion on the sand hills near the beach.
797. Lupinus Arizonicus Watson. Common on the sani) plains back of the beach.
Some flowers are white, others are drab-colored.
790. Calliandra Califomica Benth.
776. Astragalus triflorus Gray. Very abundant near the beach.
791. Hosackia glabra Torr. A very common plant 40 miles inland, grows com-
pact.
777. Hosackia maritima Ni^tt. Sandy, level places, 15 miles from the sea; bloom
yellow.
820. Hosackia rigida Benth. Stems flexuose, much branched at base; leaves
sessile, with small leaflets. Po<luncles long (2 to 4 inches). Pods almost
terete, 1^ to 2 inches long. Found in a caHon '^0 miles inland. Tbe plant
most resembles Palmer's (175), 1876, from Arizona.
813. H Bryant! Brandegee. Proc. Cal. Acad., 2<l. ser. II, 144.
769. CBnothera crassifolia Greene. Bull. Cal. Acad., 1. 156. Stems annual or
biennial, glabrous and very glaucous; leaves linear or narrowly lanceolate,
entire or si nnately toothed. Capsule linear, much contorted. We have not
seen Mr. Greene's type, but the plant does not seem to l>e the same as
Orcutt's specimens. Very common on the sand hills and depressions near the
beach. ** Showy colored flowers," more or less purplish on drying.
772. CBnothera septrostigma Brandg. Proc. Cal. Acad., 2nd. ser. II, 156. Sandy
plains; 10 miles inland. Part of type.
771. CBnothera angelorum Watson. Proc. Amer. Acad., XXIV. 49. Forty
miles inland.
768. Filago Arizonica Gray.
773. Viguiera Purisimae Brand igce. 2d. ser. II. 173.

793. Vigtdera laciniataGray. Three to fonr foet bip:h. In stony ravines 30 miles
back from the ocean, and there common.
826. HelianthoB dealbatus Gray. Clearly an annual; quite common on the sand
hill near the beach, growing thickly together. This is the most soathern
station of this species. Besides the station given in Syn. Flora, is to be
added Orcntt's Locovrs (1886) plant; also at Ensenada and recently Santa
Margarita Island, by Mr. Brandegeo. For this species Mr. Brandegee takes
up Bcntham'sold specific name of -^nc^/ia nivea and writes If. iiiveus,
822. Enoelia frntescens Gray. Common on the hills 40 miles back from the ocean ;
3 to 4 feet high.
828. Eucelia Ventonim Brandegeo. Proc. Cal. Acad., 2d. ser. ii, 175.
795. Leptosyne parthenioides Gray. Var. disnecta, Wat. Proc. Am. Aca«l., xxiv,
:J6. Dr. Palmer says this plant has a wide range on the sandy ])Iains and
hills. Seen 40 miles back from the ocean; bloom at first white, but soon
becoming purplish. Tlie margin of the akenes are incurved in age, with no
pappus, muricnlate on the back. The only other collection of the species,
that we know of, is that of Palmer at Los Angeles Bay. This plant Dr.
Watson took to be the Acoma dissccta of Benth., but the rediscovery of that
species by Mr. Brandegee the past season shows that Miey are not the same.
Therefore Palmer^s Los Angeles plant is the type of L. parthenioiden var.
dissecta Watson y and is not to be confounded with L. dinecta Gray.
787. Amblyopappus pusillus H. & A. Very abundant on hills.
782. Eriophyllam lanosam Gray.
778. Chaeuactis lacera Greene. Pitt., V, 29. This species was first collected by
Lieutenant Pond, at San Bartliolome Bay, in March, 1H89. Dr. Palmer col-
lected! it about the same time in considerable quantity. It grows in low
sandy places near the ocean. Said to be a ver>- fieshy plant. The stems and
leaves purplish. "Bloom white" or turned by age to rose.
786. Dysodia anthemidifolia Benth. First collected by the Sulphur, also Dr.
Streets, recently by Lieutenant Pond, at San Bartholome Bay, and Brandegee.
Very common on the sandy plains, near the sea-beach, and extending for miles
back from the ocean. Dr. Palmer says it is a showy plant for cultivation,
with bright amber-colored flowers and an odor like the African Marigold.
817. Malacothriz Califomica D. C. Flowers "showy, yellowish white." Outer
pappus three to four persistent bristles. Sometimes with branching scapes.
Lenmion also collected snch a form in 1875. So far as we know this species
has not before been found out of California. Dr. Palmer re^iorts it very com-
mon in the sand-hills about the bay.
814. Philbertia linearis Gray. A small trailing plant about 3 feet long, twining
about bushes or prostrate on the ground, often rooting at the nodes. The
older stems develop a very thick corky bark. The whole plant is glabrous,
except the inflorescence, which is very pubcjscent. The llowers are *• canary
white." *
774. Gilia Jonesii Gray. Only a few-plants seeji and these all collected in the hilly
country, 40 miles from the ocean. This species is only known from Jones's
specimen from the Needles, southeast California (IH84). We have not yet
seen the type, but the species certainly goes into the section JAnanthus, and
there is nothing in Gray^s meager description to keep it out of G. Jonesii.
780. Krynitzkia intermedia Gray. A very common plant 2.0 miles from the ocean.
781. Krynitzkia maritima Greene. The nutlets often of two kinds, both matur-
ing. The glabrous nutlets acute on the edge. The leaves often broader a't
the base.
829. Rnmez hymenosepaluB Torr. Called "Yerba Colorado." Much used as a
medicine, especially in venereal diseases, lle^h wounds, etc. The young tops
sometimes used as greens in California.

788.* Argythamnia serrata Mahl. Var. Magdalenas, Millsp. Proc. Cal. Acad. 2d.
ser.; ii, 221. Found in sandy places between the hills contiguons to seabeach ;
has very long roots.
785. Stillingia linearifolia Watson. Grows in the hollows between hills near the
sea beach among shrnbs and plants, loose grower.
783. Euphorbia polycarpa Benth., var. vestdta Watson. Hills 40 miles back
from the ocean. Plants quite scattering.
789. Euphorbia Pondii Millspangh, sp. nov. Annnal, prostrate, spreading from
the base. Stems glabrons, (3 to 6 centimeters long), dichotoniously branch-
ing. Leaves ovate, obtnse, entire, (H to3 millimeters long, 1 to 2 millimeters
broad) ; petioles hairy, (one-fonrth to three- fourths the length of the blade);
stipules large, bluntly triangular, margined with two to four fascicles of
cilisB. Indoresconoe solitary in the upper axils, and terminal upon the
youngest branchlets; involucres turbinate, sessile, slightly hairy; glanda
four, transversely ovate, minute, dark red ; appendages minute, white, or-
bicular, deeply two crenate-toothed on the margin, or wanting; styles bi-
furcate to the middle. Capsule trisnlcate ; carpels carinate and slightly tu-
berculate; seeds elongated, quadrangular, femigiuous between the angles.
Described from a specimen collected at Plaza Maria, Lower California, in
1889, by Lieut. Chas. F. Pond, U. S. Navy; also Gaudalupe Island by Palmer.
A form with smooth capsules and more turgid seeds is in this collection.
Hills 40 miles back from sea beach, the plants have a yellow shading when
fresh.
792. Euphorbia Xanti Engl. Typical specimens of both sorts, the white and the
red appendiculate, that prove the shrubblness of the species. Abundant,
25 to 40 miles back from the ocean ; loose grower, pinkish- white flowera.
Sometimes old plants are met with that have deep, rose-colored flowers.
775. Chorlzanthe Vaeeyi Parry & Rose. Bot. Gaz., XV, 64. A figure of this
plant accompanies the description. Among hills, 40 miles inland.
779. Allium Californicum Rose, n. sp. Bulbs cespitose, narrowly oblong with dark
red coats, deep seated (3 to 4 inches), scapes terete, 3 to 5 inches high :
leaves three to five, linear, mostly shorter than the scape: spathe two-
valved and these ovate, acute : umbel somewhat open, four to five rayed :
^ pedicels 5 to 8 lines long : flowers ** dark mauve color," with lanceolate-
acuminate segments : stamens and style included : capsule obtuse, with two
ovules in a cell, but one (rarely two) of the ovules mature.
A species closely related to A. hemcetoohitoHf Wat. Hilly country 40 miles
back from the ocean ; ** Grows in stiff clay ; odor strong of onions."
G54. Arlstida Califomioa Thurb. This peculiar grass grows in small, compact
bunches. It has a wide range on sandy soil and gravelly hills. It is the
only grass in this section which affords forage for wild or domestic animals,
and as it is generally found (as shown by many of these specimens) denuded
of Ua leaves, while the flowers and seed-tops remain intact, the inference
would be that wild animals (domestic animals are few here) crop the leaves
while the grass is tender.
655. Festuea tenella Willd. Var. (very small.) A common grass, especially where
water is retained in sandy arroyos and plains. Seldom found with the ap-
pearance of having been cropped by animals.
651. Aristida bromoides H. B. K. Common on sandy slopes and places where
moisture is retained, growing so thickly that they seem sown for a lawn.
652. Triodia pulchella H. B. K. Found iu tuft« on a gravelly ridge.
653. Muhlenbergia debilis Trin. These, the only ones found, were associated
with 651.

CEDROS ISLAND PLANTS.
Dr. Palmer spent three days on the north end of tbiH island, March
18 to 20, and made a large and valaable collection. His numbers run
from 677 to 7G4, and unfortunately are partly duplicated in the San
Quentin collection of the same year.
Mr. Greene has published (Pittonia, vol. 1, 200-208) a list of the
known species of this island, and also a supplement {l. c, 266-269) list-
ing ninety-one species. Dr. Palmer has added at this time forty-three
species to the flora of the island. Dr. Streets, who visited this island in
1876, and made a small collection, found here Ahutilon Leinmoni, which
has not been since rediscovered. Mr. Belding has also collected here,
but not very extensively. The species now known to the island are
one hundred and thirty-five.

distri bated as T. I'almeri, but since Mr. Watson has written that it is prob-
ably his "T. ei'ectu8 described frono miserable material.'^
747. Isomeris arborea Nntt. Plants about 4 feet hi«;h. (No. 3 of Mr. Greene.)
Also collected by Lieutenant Pond this season. Mr. Greene considered that
this species belongs to Cleome and calls it C, isomerittj Pitt, i, 200.
638. Frankenia Palmeri Watson. Coniniou plant near the sea-beach. (No. 5 of
Mr. Greene.)
, 713. Polycarpon depresstim Nntt. Collected only by Nnttall and Lienimou, io
southern California, although various things have been distributed as this
species, even TiUwa mininia and Achyronychia Cooperi, Fouud uuder piue
trees at the highest point ou the uorth end. (Altitude, 1,761 feet.)
699. Sphaeralcea* fulva Greene. Pitt, i, 201. Only three specimens fouud and these
in flower. Collected l>y Dr. Streets in 1876. (No. 6 of Mr. Gr«ene.)
752. Ziziphus Pariyi Torr. fide Trelease. The following is Dr. Palmer's uuie.
"A very thorny shrub, 2 to 3 feet high, with numerous crooko<l branches, form-
ing a compact plant, good for a hedge. The fruit when ripe may be yellow,
as that color was indicated in some of the fruit seen." In caflous and
mountain sides apparently not collected before.
738. RhamnuB' crocea Nntt. ** The more acute leaved sharply toothed form,"
Trelease in lit. An upright growing shrub 6 to 8 feet high. In cafious.
(Probably No. 7 of Mr. Greene.)
750. Rhus Lentil Kell. Proc. Cal. Acad., ii, 16. A large shrub 5 t-o 6 feet high in
canons. **A profuse bloomer; crimson colored to white; fruit shiuy, a.H if
iced over." Fruit a half inch long. (No. 9 of Mr. Greene.) Also collected
by Lieutenant Pond this seiison. By Dr. Veatch, in 1851).
735. Rhus iiiteg;rifolia B. &. H. Dr. Palmer says of this plant, '*An irregular grow-
ing shrub, with short body and stiff limbs." Much used by the fishermen
for fuel, for which it is very good. In cafions. (No. 10 of Mr. Greene.)
682. Veatchia Cedrosensi^ Gray. Dr. Palmer's notes are as follows: Not found
in bloom or fruit. A dwarf tree 5 to (> feet high, dotted hero and there over
the north end of the island. The wood is soft and spongy, shrinking when
cut, leaving little but the bark. Mr. Brandegee h:is identified this plant with
the Schinua uiacolor Benth. Bot. Sulph., p. 11, and has collected it from the
original station (Magdalena Bay.) In Proc. Cal. Acad., 2d ser., 2, 140,
he considers it a good Veatchia and taking up the oldest specific name,
writes it Veatchia discolor. lie also refers here Bursa'a pubcscena Watson.
(No. 8 of Mr. Greene.)
721. Lupinus sp. This is the same as our ii6Ga (distributed as 708) of former paper.
The ])lant8are often smaller, the fiowers larger (5 lines long), scattered or
somewhat verticilate; the bracts tardily deciduous ; pods four to six seeded.
Found on hill sides and cafions. A very showy plant ** bloom purple up[>er
lobes yellow." As we noted before, our plant seems nearest L. ArizonicUf but
it hardly answers for that and perhaps should be made distinct.
736. Hosackia maritima Nutt. The fiowers are only 2 lines long; the pods few
seeded. This is the same as the San Quentin 669a. Not before found on the
island.
698. Hosackia nudata (Greene). We have not seen Mr. Greene's type, and yet there
is little doubt but that this is his Syrmalium. Our plant is larger, with many
slender weak branches; the leafiets sometimes larger (3| lines long), often
obtuse, glabrate in age. Although many of the short peduncles bear but one to
two fiowers, yet it is not uncommon to find three, four, and sometimes five
fiowers in the umbel. The species of Syrmatium form a strongly marked

section of ffosackia, and it is an open question whether it should not be kej't
distinct. Mr. Greene (in vol. ii, Hull. Cal. Acad.) thinks it should be, and
ably defends Voxel's genus. Mr. Watson, while sayin|]^ it nii^ht well bo con-
sidered generically distinct, still retains it under Uoaaokiay and the same course
is followed by Mr. Brandegee in his recent paper. The discovery of a num-
ber of species belonging to this in late years would seem to emphasize the in-
dependence (»f the section. If it is so to be considered, the two recent species
of the authors (published in Proc. Nat. Museum, vol. xi, pp. 528, 529) should
be Trferrcd to as ^. Waisoni and S. Pahneri. However, in the present un-
certain limitations of the genus, we accept the limits of Hentham and Hooker
in Gen. Plant, followed by Mr. Watson, in Botany of California.
733. PhaseoluB filiformis Benth. Hot. of Sulphur, p. 13. This was collected in
1875 by Dr. Streets, and this soasou by Lieutenant Pond. Found in exposed
places facing the ocean; " Bloom, white." The plant has been collected near
the United States boundary by Orcutt in northern Lower Ciilifurnia; also at
Carmen Island (Palmer, 1875); Guaymas, Mexico, Palmer, 1687; Xantus,
1859, and by Brandegee, in Lower Calilbrnla.
727. The same; mouth of caHon ; " bloom rose-colored."
744. Dalea Benthami Brandg. Proc. Cal. Acad. 2nd ser. ii, 148. As already pointed
out by Mr. Greene this plant differs from the 1>. megacarpa in its persistent
stipular spines, the spikes are shorter and not so close, the terminal leatlet
retuse; " bloom, yellow." A compact i»lant one foot high. (No. l(> of Mr.
Greene.) Collected by Lieutenant Pond, 1889, and distributed by Mr. Greene
as var. hiunciftTa Green«, and also in this collection.
683. Aatragalus fastidioBUB Greene. Bull. Cal. Acad., I, 186. Common in canons
in moist places ; bloom "cinary -yellow." Mr. Waison writes, **one good
character has not been noted, the articulation of the pod on the stipe,
which also occurs in one or two other species." (No. 12 of Mr. Greene.)
685. Astragalus insnlaris Kell. Bull. Cal. Acad., 1, 6. Before known only from the
specimens c<dleoted by Dr. Veatch in 1859, the species not being described
until 1877. Only a few specimens were obtained at this time, mostly in
fruit. It is to be regretted that a larger collection had not been made of
this rare and little kuown species. It grows in exposed places near the sea.
(No. 13 of Mr. Greene's list, but not found by him.)
692. Astragalus sp. Annual; much branched and spreading at base, more or less
pubescent; branches slender : leailets seven to eleven, 1 to 2 liues long, re-
tuse or sometimes linear, acute, and 3 lines long: dowers, one to three, min-
nte, (less than 2 lines long) : peduncles 10 to 20 liues l0ng : pods 3 to 5 lines
long, slightly pubescent; the dorsal suture intruded, except near the apex ;
one-celle<], incurved and reticulate<l. We have disU'ibuted this :is A, Cedro-
cen»iSf but Mr Watson thinks it is A. NuttaUamiSy D. C, but pods always one-
celled, etc. Growing on level places facing the sea. ** Bloom pale-blue.
708. Tillasa leptopetala, Benth.* It seems to us that this si>ocies should be sepa-
rated from Tillwa minima. It is probably T. leptopetala of Bentliam, but the
'Collected also by Palmer at Guadalupe Island. "Among plants in cofions. The
specimens are very red." (No. 900.) The typical form of Tillwa minima Mierswas
collected by Dr. Palmer, at San Quentin, in February, 18?^, and distributed as No. 713
in part, and No. 714. A third species of Tillwa proper, T, connata Ruiz et Pav. Fl.
Per and Obil. I, 70, is to be added to our North American flora. The plants are
larger than T, minima and not diflfusely branched. The sepals almost a line long,
ovate acuminate ; the petals almost flliform. Collcctod also by Dr. Palmer at San
Quentin (713a), growing with T, minima. Our plant seems to be the same as the one
collected under the United States exploring expeilition of Captain Wilkes, in Peru,
and referred here by Dr. Gray, pag^) 688. He considereil it distinct from 2\ rubeacena
H. B. K., but if the same it must still give place to 2\ vonnatHj the older name.

BteuiH arc quite red, while Beutbam Bays uf this species '^specituina haud
rubescent, " aud waa collected near the 8an FranciBco Hay. The vteniB
are mostly sin^^le and erect, or sometimes with a few branches ; flowers glom-
erate iu the axils of the connate leaves, nearly sessile; the sepals nar-
rower aud more acute; seeds always two in each car[>el. 8hady spots in
cafioDs.
753. Eucnide cordata Kell. Curran, Bull. Cal. Acad., I, i:]7. A loose growing
plant about 4 feet high; ** bloom yellowish-white." At mouth of canon.
Collected by Dr. Veatch in 1859. (This is Mr. Greene's No. 20); he considers
it a Mcntzeliat to which genus Kellogg first referred it. Mr. Watson thinks,
however, that the two genera should be kept separate.
751. Petalonyz linearis Greene. Bull. Cal. Acad., 1, 188. Found in a ravine, ap-
parently common. About 2 feet high; ** bloom white." (No. 21 of Mr.
Greene.)
712. Mentzelia adherens Benth. Both of Sulphur, p. 15. This plant diflers
somewliat from Palmer's 1887 plant, referred to this species by Mr. Watson.
The sepals are larger, their margins involute in ago and rigid. Capsule not
angle<l, of a diiierent texture; the seeds are grayish aud much wrinkled.
Not given in Mr. Greene's list, but collected by Dr. Streets in 1876. ** Bloom
canary color." In exposed places.
719. Bchinopepon minima Wat. Proc. Amer., Acad. XXIV, 52. Stems glabrous
slender, 4 to 5 feet long, climbing over small bushes: leaves thin, smooth
below, white-papillose and scabrous above, triangular-cordate, more or less
three-lobed, 1 to 1^ inches long. Sterile racemes (including pe<luncle) 3 to 4
inches long: limb of the flower 4 lines broad, peduncle 6 linos long: fertile
flowers mostly solitary, the peduncle becoming 8 to 9 lines long, fruit 6 to 9
lines long (not including the beak), echinate with spine-like processes, two
celled, dehiscing by a <leoiduous operculum : cells three to six seeded, 1^ lines
long, compressed, dark-colored.
By a slip of the pen Mr. Watson has reversed the character of the surface
of the leaf, and Mr. Cogneanx has copied the mistake into his monograph.
Vol. Ill, 805. At the mouth of a caiion. Mr. Watson in Torry Bull., vol.
XIV, has re-established Naudin's genus, separating it from Echinocyntis into
which B. & H. had thrown it, followed by Cogneanx, in Monographico
Phanerogamarumy vol. III. Our plaut is the saiue as Dr. Streets, from Cedros

The CedroB iHland plant difiers from Orciitt's AH Saints' Bay plant of the
8yn. Flora, and Palmer's Coronados Island plant. The i>laut is smaller, lets
viscid ; the corolla smaller, less open, the style and stamens incladed, tbe
capsule shorter than the calyx, the appendages largo, somewhat reilexed.
Palmer's Coronados Island plant grows along the beach under the influ-
ence of the sea water. And Mr. Orcutt writes that the same is true of bis
plant.
715. Phaoelia (Eutoca) Cedrosencia Rose n. sp. Very hispid with slender bris-
tles, also a little viscid in the inflorescence : stems 1 to 6 inches bigh, simple
or somewhat branched: leaves pinnate, the segments entire or few tootbed,
inflorescence somewhat crowded, mostly geminate : flowers almost sessile :
calyx parted almost to tbe base, its lobes linear or oblanceolate, 3 lines long,
delicately three-nerved : corolla bluish, campanalate, about the length of
the sepals: stamens barely exserted ; appendages long and narrow, united to
the stamens at base : style cleft for one-third its length; capsule one and one-
half lines long, obtuse: seeds twelve to eighteen. Seemingly nearest P. kir-
tuosa of Lower California. Found in the shade of bushes in canons. Not
very common. A species peculiar in its dense bristles.
691. Krynitskia maxitixna Greene. Stems very much branched.
690. Tbe same with longer narrowly-lanceolate leaves, much resembling the K,
ramonssima of Palmer's, Los Angeles Bay, 1887. Always one glabrous nutlet,
with one or all the others maturing, but different, as described by us iu a former
paper.
722. Pectocaxya liuearia D. C. A single specimen found under pines at tbe sum-
mit of the highest peak (1,761 feet), north end. New to the island. The nut-
lets differ somewhat from most specimens seen, but much resemble P, linearittf
var. of Leramon (1884), Arizona.
711. Plagjobothrys Cooper! Gray. A few plants found on the highest point of
tbe island. The stii^e to the nutlet, only about half as long as in our San
Quentiu plant. Now to the island.
745. Phjsalis Greenei. Only one small plant found. This is very close to Palmer's
682, from San Quentiu, and the close resemblance of the latter to Dr. Streetti's
Cedros Island plant, we pointed out in our former paper. Proc U. S. Nat.
Mus., vol. XI, 533. P, pedunculata Greene non Mart, et Gal. The San Quen-
tiu plant Mr. Greene writes is his P, mnriculata,
740. Lyciom Cedrosencia Greene f A few sterile branches.
732. Nicotiana Greeneana Hose n. sp. Somewhat viscid, pubescent, 4 to 9 inches
high, simple.or little blanched at base: lower leavesoblong to lanceolate, 1 to
2 inches long, petioled : the upper ones linear: calyx lobes unequal, the longer
about the length of the tube : corolla yellowish white, 5 to 8 lines long, a lit-
tle constricted at the orifice, its limb 2 to 3 lines broad: the stamens equally
inserted low down iu the tube : capsule four-valved, longer than the calyx
tube. This species seems nearest N, Clevelandi in its leaves and calyx, but
tbe corolla is more like N, trigonophylla. It seems quite distinct from either.
Not very common. Dr. Palmer says in his note respecting this plant, ''All
the plants seen were taken ; not very sticky, nor had the plants but a faint
odor like that accompanying the handling of tobacco."
714. Antirrhinum "Wataoni Vasey «& Rose. A small form, 3 to 8 inches high with
linear leaves, ''corolla purple." Very rare. At the north end in the shade
of bushes in ravines. Not before collected on the island. Mr. Brandegee, in
his paper on the "Plants of Baja, California" gives two additional stations,
viz : Magdalena and Santa Margareta Islands. The species is doubtless com-
mon and of a wide range.
725. Antirrhinum sabseaaile Gray t Only throe small plants found in the shade;
2 to 8 inches high. In fruit, no flowers. At least new to the island.

SAN BENITO ISLAND PLANTS.
Mr. B. L. Greene lias very recently publishoil (Pittonia, vol. 1, pp.
261-266) a very interesting little paper on tlie vegetation of the Sau
Benito Islands with a list of the known plants. He hius eunmerate<l
twenty-four species as belonging to the largest islet. His plants were
collected by Lieut. Charles F. Pond at varions times from December to
February. Dr. Edward Palmer spent but a day (March 25) on West
San Benito. His general notes of the island and its vegetfition are very
similar to Mr. Greene's, and need not be repeated here. He collected
seventeen species, all of which are given in Mr. Greene's list. He has,
however, collected some of the varieties in considerable abundance.
He spe<aks, also, of two forms of Agave, neither in flower or fruit. No
specimens were sent in, and nothing is known as to the species. If
these should prove two distinct species, of course it will increase the

917. Iiavatera venosa Watson, Proc. Afii. Acad., xir, 249. Poor specimens were
coIlectc<l by Dr. Streets in 1B75. Not since collected until obtained by Lieu-
tenant Pond. Dr. Palmer says of it: **Tlie plant that leads in unnibers all
otbers on the island. Its bri^^bt green gives the island rather a fertile look.
It is on all the le/el places in the arroyos and deepest caDous and reaches to
the summit. A beantifnl plant with whit« and purple dowers, much darker
at night, 1 to 3 feet high. The petals are at first straight, and then turn
under as they take oo the purple color. A tine plant for cnltivatiou in green-
houses and gardens of warmer latitudes.'' Dr. Palmer has collected it in
great ahaodance, and has obtained a good supply of seed. (No. 3 of Mr.
Greene.)
913. Hoaackia maritima Nntt. But a few specimens collected. The pods are three
to nine seeded. (No. A of Mr. Greene. )
922. Cotyledon linearis (ireene. Pitt., I, t<}H5. Very common plant, in bunches
over the lower portion of the islr.nd. (No. 10 of Mr. Greene.)
921. Mammillaria Goodrichii Scheer.
Mesembryanthemum crystalintim L. Dr. Palmer says the ^^Ice plant'' was very
plentiful on the island, but sent in no siHJcimens. Mr. Greene has, however,
identified the species from this island. (No. 11 of Mr. Greene.)
920. Hemizonia Streetsii Gray. Collect^^d quit^) abundantly. (No. 15 of Mr.
Greene.) First collected here by Dr. Streets.
915. Ambljopappua puaillaa Hook «fe Am. (No. IG of Mr. (ireoiie.)
914. Perityle Greenei Kose. Hot. Gaz., xv., 117. (No. 17 of Mr. Greene.)
911. Krynitzkia ambigua Gray. Growing on the side of a cafion. The plant is
clearly the one collected by Lieutenant Pond, but this, as well as Mr.
Greene's type, has four nutlets. We have carefully compared both speci-
mens with a very full sot in the Gray Herbarium, and we have not boon able
to separate them. The nutlets are identical and there are specimens with
the same habit. (Cryptaiithc pahila Greene.) (No. 21 of Mr. Greene.)
912. Krynitzkia maritima Greene. Only a few Hpecimens were collected, as
nearly all the plants were dead. The plants are found from 2 to 8 inches
high and muoli branched. Growing on rocky sides of a caliou. (No. 20 of
Mr. Greene.)
916. Lycium Califomicnm Nutt. (No. 19 of Mr. Greene.)

Mr. Greene.)
GUADALUPE ISLAND PLANTS.
Botanists genemlly will bo delijflttcd to know that Dr. Palmer has
again visited Guadalupe Island and brought baek a large and inter-
esting collection. Only a week was spent on the island, froiu March
27 to April 3, 1889, but he succeeded in laying in a good supply of a
nmnber of species only known from this island and sparingly repre-
sented in our herbaria. Besides these several new species were found.
He began his collecting at the south end of the island, where tlie last
three days of March were spent, and the first three days of April were
spent at the north end of the island.
It will be remembered that in 1875 Dr. Edward Palmer spent three
months (February to May) on this island. This was the first visit ever

made to Gnadalnpe Island by a botanist. Tlie next year appeared
Mr. Watson's admirable paper (Proc. Amer. Acad., vol. xi) on tbe
flora of this island and a list of Dr. Palmer's plants, of which twenty-
one were considered new.
Ten years afterward Mr, B. L. Greene spent a week (the last of April)
adding to the flora fifteen species, describing seven new species, and
publishing in 1885 (Ball. Cal. Acad., vol. 1) his notes, and a catalogue
of the flowering plants and ferns of the island.
Mr. Watson separates the phaenogamoas plants into five gronps as
follows: (1) Introduced species, twelve; (2) species which range from
the Pacific to the Atlantic States, nine ; (3) those found in California
as far north as San Francisco, forty-nine ; (4) those only in southern Cali-
fornia, eighteen; (5) those peculiar to the island itself, twenty-one.
Add to these an undetermined HeucJiera and six ferns makes a total of
one hundred and sixteen Phseuogams and Pteridophyta. Mr. Greene's
list enumerates one hundred and thirty species, all except twenty-six
he had observed in his short stay upon the island. Probably six of the
fifteen added by Mr. Greene belong to the first group. Among the
present additions at least four have very recently gained a foot-hold
here, viz, Melilotus Indica, Sonchus tenerrimusj Suaeda Torreyanay and
Centaurea Melitensvt, making the total number of introduced species as
twenty-two; one is to be added in the second group. In the thinl
group, Mr. Greene's list adds five and ours three, viz, Tissa maero-
theca, Tissa pallida, and Trisetum barbatum, making the number of dis-
tinctly Californian species fifty-seven.
In the fourth group the two Cactacew and two Oramin€(e make the num-
berof southern Californian species twenty-two. Of the fifteen additional
species added by Mr. Greene but one he described as new, another
probably new. Dr. Palmer has at this time collected seventy-two spe-
cies, fourteen of which are additions to the flora of the island and four
are new. The total number of species now known on the island is one
hundred and forty-five. Of the thirty-four species first described from
this island but three have since been found elsewhere. The following
list so far as known is peculiar to the island:
1. Eachacholtzia Palmeri Rose.

the l>each, jiscending into shaily cafions and perhaps intnnlnced with the
goats. North end of island. April 1 to 3.
853. Hosackia omithopus Greene. Only one plant found near the month of a
canon at the north end. Mr. Greene found it abundant in the middle of the
island, 1H85. We have not seen Palmer's 1875 plant.
847. Vicia ezigua Nutt. Common in shady sides of ravines at the north end. Dr.
Palmer on his first visit only saw a single small specimen. Mr. Greene sajs
it was not uncommon.
893. Mentzelia diapersa Watson. Common among shady rocks in caQons. South
end of the island March 29. (No. 32 of 1875.)
850. Galium aparine L. At north end, April 1. (No. 35 of 1875.)

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum Linn. Dr. Palmer wrote that this grew ou the
island, but collected no sp cimens. Mr. Grc ene also collected it.
901. Mamillaria Goodrldgeii »Scheer. With five to six globose heails. At first cov-
ered with a white w<wl but becoming glabrate. Common on south end of
island. Not found by Dr. Palmer in 187.5, but collected by Mr. Greene in 1885.
899. Amblyopappua pusiUus H. & A. March 30. (No. 40 of 1875.)

without number.
874. Hemizoma(Hartinannia)Palmeri Ro8e,n.8p. Pcrennial,with thick woody base,
forming small bunches; branches decumbent or ascending, with abundant,
white, silky pubescence, not at all viscid : leaves nnmerous, silky, I) to 12 linos
long, linear to narrowly oblanceolate: heads numerous, somewhat corym-
bose : involucre 2 lines high : rays eight, three-toothed: the chaff 'forming a
cup about the disk-fiowers cleft to the middle, the divisions linear-acuminate :
disk flowers aI>out ten, the akenes sterile: i>appus of six to twelve, linear-
acuminate scales, the ray akenes barely a line long, the rostellnm very short,
and compressed clo.scly against the top of the akene.
A peculiar species, and by far the most decided shrnb of the genu.s. In many
respects near to the following, but in leaves, pubescence, inflorescence, etc.,
very diflerent. A very common plant on the south end of the island, in
all exposed places Dr. Palmer writes that it is a very attractive plant in that
dry latitude. The three H]M'ci<'8 from tliis island seem to form a peculiar
group by themselves*.
865. Hemizouia (Hartmannia) Grccneaua Rom% n. sp. Perennial, forming birgo
round bunches '2 to 3 fret high, with sterile branchas banging down the sides,
somewhat pubescent, more or less viscid tbronghout: leaves crowde<l, da'*l\

green; those of the sterile brauelics lanceolate in oiitliuo, with a thick
margin, (> to 10 linos long, six to eight pinnately-toolhcd and pjirtcd, «ome-
times entire; those of <ho central flowering brAnchos smaller, linear, entire:
Heads single^ terminating the branches: iuvolucre 3 lines high : rays 8, three-
toothed, the chaff forming a cnp about the disk flowers, united until maturity,
with eight ovate, aonte-tipped teeth: disk flowers eight to ten, sterile: pap-
pus of six to ten unequal paleaeeoas bracts, mostly ^ihortei;, than the akene:
the ray akones over a line long, the rostellum a half line long.
A very peculiar 'species, but seemingly nearest //. frutescens of this island. It
differs from that species strikingly in manner of growth, in its inflorescence,
in itH leaves, and iu its internal involucre. The akenes are very similar but
larger. H. frutescem is a very rare species from near the central part of the
island. This species is very common on the south end iu all the arroyos,
cafious, and aleng the beach. It is a very homely plant, growing iu great
cluuips in barren places, aud the most noticeable plant of the region.
876. Bseria Palmeri Gray. First collected on this island by Palmer iu 1875 ami after-
wards by Greene. It is very common at bottom of cafions at south end of
island. March 29. (No. 45 of 1875. )

to this plant: ^^ Since my previous visit to this island this plant has de-
creased ; spotB that contained a thicket of it have now but deatl plants, with
a few scattering ]>lants alive." Professor Greene speakn of this plant as being
quite common. The rapid extermination of this species seems to l>e a parallel
case t^ that of Ciipressuu Guadalupcnsift^ spoken of by Mr. Greene. (Proc. Cal.
Acad., I, 217.) Fortunately Dr. Palmer has laid in a supply of this si>ecies,
and all our Amerie«in herbaria will have good specimens, even if it should
become extinct. (No. 45 of 1875.)
836. Centaaria Melitensis Linn. This weed has become intro<luced on the north
end, and is gradually finding its way up the island. Not renorte<1 in the
other lists from the island.
871. Sonchns oleraceus Linn. Small, slender form, from 2 inches to a foot high ;
radical and lower cauline leaves mostly undivided. Slia<ly spots iu canons;
not very common. At the south end. (No. .52 of 1875.)
872. The same, but somewhat taller, with pinnate leaves, the lol)es8pinuloKe-toothed.
Also iu canons at the south end, but rarer.
873. Sonchus tenerrimua Linn. A very small, slender form 2 to 8 inches high.
Growing in shady caOons at the south end. An introduced species. Not
before found on the island. Not common.
887. Gilia Nevinii Gray. Only a half dozen plants seen on south end of island.
When first collected in 187G it was found very abundant. March :U), 1889.

Guadalupe plants of Palmcx, 1875 (No. 7(»), were rcffrrod to .V. anriUi, The
linear segments of the leaves are strongly serrate. The flowers iiiiunt*',
apparently smaller than the species. Among rocks, edge of dry arroyo. March
;W), south end of island.

HEAD OF THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA.
Tbree days were spent at Lerdo, Mexico. This locality is 60 miles
south-southwest from Yuma, latitude 31^ 46' IC, and lougitude 114'^
43' 30".
The most interesting thing obtained here was Ammobroma^ which for
the first time has been collected in good quantity.

941. CBnothera soapoidea Natt. Yar. Stems 4 to 8 inches high, much branched at
base, lateral leaflets very small, or none ; calyx dark red within, petals less
than 2 lines long, light yeUow. llemsley does not mention this iilant as
growing in Mexico in Biol. Cent. Amer.
933. Frauoeria dumosa Gray. Also collected here by Dr. Edward Palmer in
1885. This species is common in the desert regions of south Utah, Arizona,
southeast California, and extending as far south as Los Angeles Bay, Lower
California. This is one of the two species upon which Jminobroma Sonorw is
found, and its wide distribution leads us to expect that other stations of that
parasite will yet be found.

Ammobroma Sonoras Torr. This was first discovered in 1854 by Col. A. B. Gray,
in charge of a railroad exploring party, at the head of the Gulf of Califor-
nia. At this time a short notice of the discovery was published by Col. A.
B. Gray in Memoirs of the American Academy of Science, but it was not
until 1867 that a description of the genus was published by Dr. John Torrey
in the Annals of Lye. Nat. Hist. N. Y. Vol. VIII, p. 51, together with a good
figure. So far as we can learn the plant was not collected again until
Schuohard got it in Arizona. And now Dr. Palmer collected it in large
quantities at Lerdo, Mexico. Until the present season its host plant has
been unknown but Dr. Palmer has carefully examined into this, and col-
lected two common plants of this arid region upon which it grows. These are
Franseria dumosa and Dalea Emoryi. Dr. Palmer wrote that the plant grows
in deep sand, the deeper the sand the larger and Juicier the plants. The
Cooopa Indians gather them for food, which they relish under all circum-
stances. They cat it raw, boiled, or roasted. The plant is full of moisture,
and whites and Indians alike resort to it in traveling, as a valuable
Bubstitate for water. It has a pleasant taste, much resembling the sweet

UPON A COLLECTION OF PLANTS MADE BY MR. G.C. NEALLEY, IN THE
REGION OF THE RIO GRANDE, IN TEXAS, FROM BRAZOS SANTIAGO
TO EL PASO COUNTY.
By John M. Coulter.
Mr. G. C. Nealley was enpaged by the Division of Botany to make
collections of plants during the seasons of 1887, 1888, and 1889, in the
more unexplored parts of Texas, chieliy in the counties bordering the
Eio Grande. It was hoped that many of the rarer plants of the Mex-
ican Boundary Survey and other early collections would be re-discov-
ered, that additional Mexican types would be found to be members of
our tiora, and that species new to science would be brought to light.
How far these hopes have been realized is shown in the following re-
port. It is to be regretted that in many cases the stations are no more
deftDitely given, but they are given with all the fullness that the field-
notes will justify.^
1. Clediatis crispa L. Near Brazos Santiago in April, and later at Ballinger
(Rnnnels county).
2. Clematis Drummondii Torr. «& Gray. In great abundance along the Rio
Grande near Koma (Starr county).
3. ClematiB Pitoheri Torr. & Gray. Concho county.
4. Aqiiilegia chrysantha Gray. Southwestern Texas.
5. Cocculua diveraifolius DC. (C. oblongi/oliua DC.) t^nth western Texas. Two
forms of this species occur in Mr. Nealley's collections ; one with ovate leayes,
the other with narrowly oblong leaves.
6. Castalia elegans Greene {Nymphcea elegans Hook.). Along the lower Rio Grande
near Santa Maria (Cameron county), and apparently in considerable abun-
dance. This rare and beautiful species, remarkable on account ok* its light
blue petals, was discovered by Cbarles Wright in 1849, **near the head of
the Leona River,'' a Texan tributary of the Rio Grande. Grown ftom seed
at Kew, it was described and figured by Hooker in Curt. Bot. Mag., t 4604.
Afterwards a single specimen was found by Berlandier in northern Mexico,
and other specimens by Charles Wright in Cuba. For many years it was
unreported, when it was re-<)iscovered in 1887 at Waco, McLennan count}*,
by Misses Trimble and Wright (reported by E. E. Stem in Bull Torr. Bot
Club, XV, 13) ; and iu 1888 by C. G. Pringle, ir lagoons near Brownsville.
Bourgeau 4, froui Santa Anita, Mexico, n^ferred iu Hemsl. Biol. Centr. Amer,,
-^ i. 25, to this species, is probably Canlalia flara Greene.
* In the case of sets distributed before the publication of this contribution, the
numbers on the labels sbonld be changed to the serial numbers of this paper. Some
changes, also, have been made in determination, and hence a few names on already
distributed labels are misleading.

7. Castalia flava Gre«no {Nymphcea flava Leitner). Kio Grande City (Starr
county). To this must be referred Bourgeau 4, from Santa Anita, Mexico, ae
noted under the preceding species. The discovery of this Florida yellow
water-lily along the Rio Grande in Texas, as well as in Mexico, is an inter-
esting one. In Pringle's distribution of 1888, no. 1956, from lagoons near
Brownsville, is labeled Nymphcea Mexicana Zucc, and it is undoubtedly the
same as our specimens from Mr. Nealloy. There seems to be so much uncer-
tainty, however, as to what X, Mexicana is, and our plants so closely accord
with the well-known Caatalia flava, that we have ventured to so name them.
It is but fair t^o say that none of the Nealloy specimens are in fruit, and it
may bo discovered that all of these Texano-Mexican yellow water-lilien
are Catialia Mexicana.
8. Nelumbo lutea Pcrs. (Nelumbium luieum Willd.) Along the lower Rio Grande,
near Santa Maria (Cameron county).
9. Argemone platyceras Link <& Otto, var. rosea Coulter n. var. Petals bright
rose-purple. Corpus Christi. This includes also the form referred to by
Watsou (Proc. Am. Acad., xvii. 'MS) under Palmer 20.
10. Thelypodium liuearifoliom Watson. Limpia cafion (Presidio county).
11. Thelypodium micrauthiun Wutson. Limpia ca&on and Chenate Mountains
(Presidio county). Mr. Neallcy's plants are quite small and sometimes
Bimx>le, some of them being not more than 9 inches or 1 foot high. They are
sometimes also quite glabrous, even as to the lower leaves, and the stigma
scorns sessile. This species is confused in herbaria with T. longifolium Wat-
sou, in which the flowers are twice as large.
12. Thelypodium Vaseyi Coulter, n. sp. Glaucous and glabrous throughout, 6 to
9^'" high, branching, with coai'se stems : leaves thin, oblanceolate, becoming
narrower above, entire or lower leaves somewhat repand-denticulate, clasp-
ing by rounded auricles (or the lowest merely sessile), 2.5 to ICK™ long,
1.25 to 3.75*^™ broad: flowers very small, white, about 3™"* high : pods very
slender, becoming distant and ascending or erect, 3.75 to 5<^"» long, on pedi-
cels C to S'""" long.— Near Rio Grande City, Texas {Nealley) ; also collected
in 1881 by G. R. Vasey (no. 29) in the mountains west of Las Vegas, New
Mexico, iu immature condition. Vasey's plants were too young to be char-
acterized, although Mr. Watsou, to whom the specimens were submitted,
considered them as probably representing a new species. Mr. Nealley's speoi-
mens supply nearly mature i)ods, which may become longer than noted in
the description. The species seems to be very distinct from any other Thely-
podium.
13. Thelypodium "Wrightli Gray. Limpia cafion (Presidio county). Specimens
in lino fruiting condition show pods mostly 3 inches long or over.
14. Lesquerella argyrea Watson ( Vcsicaria argyrea Gray). Roma (Starr county)
and Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
15. Lesquerella Engelmanni Watson ( Vesicaria Engelmauni Gray). Camp Char-
lotto (Ixiou county). The collection includes two forms: one leafy, with
very narrow and entire -leaves; the other with nearly all the leaves rather
broad and sinuate-dentate.
16. Lesquerella gracilis Watson ( Vesicaria gracili8 Hook.). Brazos Santiago.
17. Sisymbrium canescens Nutt. Limpia cuQou (Presidio county).
18. Sisymbrium diffusum Gray. Limpia ca&on (Presidio county) and Chisos
Mountiiins (Foley county). This species was collected by Wright and the
Mexican Boundary Survey in the southwest comer of Texas. G. R. Vasey
and Rusby have collected it in adjoining New Mexico, and Pringle in Mexico.
Mr, Neallcy's Limpia calion specimens were collected at Wright's original
station.
19. Erysimum asperum DC. Limpia caQon (Presidio county).

20. Qreggia camponimGray. Chenate MountaiuB(Pre8iiliocoaDty). Tbis species
in remarkably variable, a fact whicb is better knowu in bcrbaria than in pub-
licatiou. Very little fieetus to have beeu added to Gray's origiual description
iu PL Wright,f i. 8, but tbe immaturity of his specimens prevented him from
discovering certain characters which seem generic. No mention is made of
the fact; nor does it appear iu the plate in PI. ffriyht.^ that the mature
stamens are strongly sagittate and coiled, as in Thelypodium, The pod, in-
stead of being short and allied to that of SynthlipsU, is a silique (a fact
recognized by Beutham & Hooker), oft«n quite elongated (an inch or more),
and usually more or loss curved at maturity. Iu fact, the persistent septum
is always carved, often strougly so. The sepals also become strongly ro-
f exed. The species G. camporum presents such great variations in the size
and shape of its leaves that extreme forms are never recognized by a collector
as forms of the same species. These specimens from the Chenate Mountains
have broad and sinuate* dentate leaves, the leaves being sometimes an inch
broad and so deeply sinuate-den tato as to appear almost pinnatifid.
21. Oreggia camporum Gray, var. augustifolla Coulter, n. var. Leaves mostly
entire (occasionally sinnate-toothed) and very narrow (but 2 to 4™™ broad). —
Camp Charlotte (Ixion county). If certain intermediate forms were not
common this variety would represent a fairly good species. The pods are
also quite variable \u length in the same specimen. Considering the great
variability of the leaves and pods the following may be but another variety
of this polymorphous species :
22. Greggia linearifolia Watson. Camp Charlotte (Ixion coanty), mixed with the
last, to which it is closely related.
23. lAepidiom alyssoides Gray. Camp Charlotte (Ixion county).
24. Syuthlipsis Berlandierl Gray, var. hispida Watson. Brazos Santiago.
25. Cakile maritima Scop., var. asqualia Chapman. Brazos Santiago. A West
Indian and Floridiau species found along the Texan coast.
26. Polanisia trachysperma Torr. & Gray. Corpus Christi. Balliuger (Runnels
county) and Limpia oailou (Presidio county).
27. lonidium polygalaefoUum Vent. Roma (Starr county).
28. Polygala alba Nutt. Brazos Santiago and Chenate Mountains (Presidio
county).
29. Polygala ovalifolia DC. Western Texas.
30. Polygala pubemla Gray. Santa Anna (Coleman county).
31. Silene laciniata Cav., var. Greggli Watson. Limpia cafiou (Presidio county).
32. Stellaria prostrata Baldw. Santa Maria (Cameron county) and Chenate
Mountains (Presidio county). The Chenate specimens are much smaller
than usual.
33. Talinmn parviflorum Nutt. Corpus Christi.
33a. Talinum lineare HBK. ( T. atiranttaciim Engelm.) Corpus Christi.
34. Malva borealls Wallm. Brazos Santiago. An Old World plant, apparently
naturalized throughout our southern border from the Gulf coast of Texas to
California.
35. Callirrhoe lineariloba Gray. Pena (Duval county).
36. Malvaatrum coccineum Gray. Rio Grande City (Starr county).
37. Malvaatrum spicatum Gray. Brazos Santiago. A Mexican species.
38. Malvaatrum tricuspidatum Gray. Brazos Santiago. Specimens smaller in
all dimensions than usual.
39. Malvaatrum 'Wrightil Gray. Corpus Christi. A very small form, with un-
usually reduced bractlets.
40. Anoda haatata Cav. " Screw Bean " (Presidio county).
41. Anoda pentaacliista<jr ray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county). The lower
leaves are rather larger than usual, some of them being broadly triangular

are ;{-lob^d, theu above become narrower and hastate, finally narrowing to
linear, but always hastate.
42. Si da hederacea Gray. Pecos flats, near Pecos City (Reeves county).
43. Sida lepidota Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
44. Sida longipes Gray. Pena (Duval county). This seems to be the first recorded
collection of this species since Wright's in 1851 and that of the Mexican '
Bouudary Survey. It very closely resembles 8. Lindheimeri Eng. & Gray,
but the nmticous carpels, as well as the elongated fruiting pedicels, serve
well to distiuguish it.
45. Sida physocalyz Gray. Pena (Duval county).
46. Abutilou Berlandieri Gray. Corpus Christi (Nueces county) and San Diego
(Duval county); also iound in 1882 by G. W. Letterman at Laredo (Webb
county) and distributed as A. holoHericeum Scheele. A Mexican species, Ber-
landier's 1550, 3050, and 3108, from northeast Mexico, being the same.
47. Abutilon crispum Gray. Rio Grande City (Starr county).
48. Abutilou holosericeum Scheele. Santa Maria (Cameron county).
49. Abutilon incanum Don. {A. Texeme Torr. & Gray). Rio Grande City (Slnrr
county). A, incanum is a species of the Sandwich Islands, but considenHl by
Dr. Gray (Proc. Am. Acad., xxii. 301) identical with our A, I'exense, **iiot
withstanding the disjointed range."
50. Abutilon Nealleyi Coulter, n. sp. Stem slender, erect, 6 to 12<'™ high, soft
puberulont above, becoming glabrous below : leaves broadly cordate and long
acuminate, entire or slightly crenate, green and soft pubernlent (becoming
glabrous) above, white with fine dense stellate pubescence beneath, 6 to 10^^
long, 5 to 7.5^<" wide, becoming smaller above, on long petioles (2.5 to 9^*°
long), the loy^er with axillary fascicles of small leaves: flowers in loose, few-
flowered, long ped uncled, upper-axillary and terminal panicles, very small,
not more than 4°'°* high: calyx stellate-pubescent, deeply cleft, the ovate
acute lobes about half as long as the petals and very much shorter than the
carpels : petals yellow or orange, hardly 4"*°^ long : carpels 5, becoming 6 to
8°^"* long, puberulent, with a shorty acuminate beak, 2 or 3-8eeded; seeds
usually with a tuft of white hairs. — Near Hidalgo (Hidalgo county). This
species is au addition to the group of herbaceous, large-leaved, rather naked
paniculate and small-flowered forms, represented heretofore by A, SonorcB
Gray, A. reventum Watson, and A, Xanti Gray. A. Nealleyi has much the
smallest flowers, and looks somewhat like a species of BastardiOf but the 2 or
3-Heeded carpels are plainly those of Abutilon,
51. Abutilon parvulum Gray. Near Pena (Duval county) and in the Chenate
Mountains (Presidio county).
52. Abutilon Wrightii Gray. Corpus Christi.
53. Sphaeralcea ^mbigua Gray. Pena (Duval couQty). S. Emoryi in Ives Col.
Exp. Bot. 8, and Bol. Calif, partly, not PI. Fendl. nor PI. Wright. Abundant
on the arid plains of southern California, Nevada, and Arizona, and now
found iu southern Texas.
54. Sphaeralcea angustifolia Spach., var. cuspidata Gray. Camp Charlotte (Ixion
county).
55. Sphaeralcea Fendleri Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
56. Sphaeralcea subhastata Coulter, n. «p. Low (7 to 22<^), fruticose and branch-
ing, covered throughout with coarse almost scurfy stellate -pubescence : leaves
thick, ovate to oblong, mostly obtuse and subhastate, rugose and more or less
serrate, 1.25 to 3.75^"* long, 10 to 16™"" broad, on thick petioles 6 to IS™"* long:
flowers mostly solitary and axillary on very short pedicels: calyx cleft about
half way, the lobes acute or somewhat acuminate, little more than half as

long OS tho' purplish (in dried specimens) corolla; which is 1.25 to 2.5*^ in
diameter: fruit subglobose, densely stellate-pubescent; with no apparent
cusps. — "Screw Bean'' (Presidio county). To this species is referred Wright
883 in part; collected in New Mexico in 1851 ; also Palmer 93, from Coahnila,
Mexico, collected in 1880. The species is intermediate between S. hastulata
Gray and S. angustifoliaf var. ouspidata Gray. Palmer 93 was considered by
Mr. Watson (Proc. Am. Acad., xvii. 331) to be a form of S. I^istulata, Mature
fruit, as well as the coarse stellate-pubescence, indicates a much closer rela-
tionship to S, angust\foUaf var. cuapidaiaf under which polymorphous species
it should be included if not entitled to specific rank. It differs, however,
from that species in its low habit, short ovate or oblong snbhastate leaves,
solitary short-pediceled flowers, and its pointless carpels.
57. Malachra palmata Mcenoh. Brazos Santiago.
58. Hibiscus cardiophyllus Gray. Rio Grande City (Starr county).
59. Hibiscus Coulteri Harvey. Chisos Mountains (Foley county). Pringle's Ari-
zona specimens have petals purplish outside, but Nealley's are pure sulphur
yellow, as in the original specimens of Wright and the Mexican ones of Conlter.
60. Hermannia Tezana Gray. Rio Grande City (Starr county) and Pena (Duval
county). Apparently somewhat abundant along the Texan frontier, but
it seems not to have been recently reported from Texas.
61. Iiinum rigidum Pursh. Brazos Santiago.
62. Malpighia glabra L. Santa Maria (Cameron county).
63. Janusia gracilis Gray. Corpus Christ! (Nueces county), San Diego (Duval
county), in " western Texas "from several localities without specific stations,
and in the Chenate Mountains C Presidio county).
64. Quiacum anguatifoliam Engolm. (Porlieria angnaiifolia Gray). Rio Grande
City (Starr county). In Proc, Am, J cad., xxii. 306, Dr. Gray says that the
genus Porlieria can not be kept up.
65. Geranium caespitosum James. Limpia cation (Presidio county).
66. Ozalis Berlandieri Torr. Pena (Duval county). A species not very abun-
dantly nor recently collected.
67. Ozalis comicolata L., var. stricta Sav. Santa Maria (Cameron county).
68. Ozalis dichondraefolia Gray. Santa Maria (Cameron county).
69. Ptelea trifoliata L., var. mollis Torr. & Gray. DeviFs River (Val Verde

72. Karwinskia Humboldtiana Zucc. Santa Maria (Cameron county).
73. Ceanothus Qreggii Gray. Chisos Mountains (Foley county). A species here-
tofore known to extend from Utah to Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico, and
now discovered in western Texas.
74. Adolphia infesta Meisner. Limpia canon (Presidio county).
75. Urvillea Mezicana Gray. Santa Maria (Cameron county) and Hidalgo (Hi-
dalgo county).
76. Cardiospermum moUe HBK. Limpia canon (Presidio county). A north
Mexican species new to our flora. .
77. Ungnadia speciosa Endl. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
78. Rhus virens Lindh. Limpia cafion (Presidio county).
79. Crotalaria incana L. Brazos Santiago. A common Mexican and West Indian
species. Our specimens are quite low, with very villous-hirsnte stems, not
very much resembling the tall and rather smooth forms of 8. Florida referred
to this species.

81. Hosackia rigida Bentb. (iocl. //. puhei'ula Benth. and ff. Wrightii Gray).
Chisos Mountains (Foley county). In Bot Calif, \, 136, Dr. Watson snggests
that H. puhenila Bouth. and B, Wrightii Gray are but forms of H, rigida
Bentb. Botanists will testify to the impossibility sometimes of distingnisbing
tliese species. In Nealley's collection tbere are some remarkable specimens
that combine in one plant all tbo important characters of these three so-called
species. Some of tbo peduncles are short, and others very long ; the calyx-
t<^etb equal the tube or are shorter ; the leaves are from obovate or oblong to
narrowly linear. These specimens should be referred to H,puberula if the old
specific distinctions are to be kept np. After examining a large series of
specimens, however, it seems best to consider them all but as forms of a
wide-spread and very polymorph us species, of which ff. Bryanii Brandegee
{PL Baja Calif, 144) seems to be but another form.
82. Psoralea linearifolia Torr. & Gray, var. robusta Coulter, ». var. Whole
plant, in all its parts, more robust than the typo : leaves linear-oblong, 4 to
tjcm long, 5 or 6""" wide, thickly black-dotte<l above and below: flowers
mostly in clusters of three, distant along the rhachis. — Clarendon (Donley
county). Collected by Nealley in 1888.
83. Psoralea tenuiflora Pursh. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
84. Dalea alopecuroides Willd. Limpia cafion (Presidio county).
85. Dalea aurea Nutt. Santa Anna (Coleman county).
86. Dalea Domingensis DC, var. paucifolia Coulter, n. var. Whole plant more
hairy : leaflets but three or four pairs and larger : inflorescence becom-
ing more or less compact-clustered in the upper axils, and the calyx-tube
nearly glabrous, making very prominent the large amber-colored glands. —
Rio Grande City (Starr county). This is also Palmer 1049, collect<jd in
northern Mexico between San Luis Potosi and Tampico, and referred by
Hemsley to D. Domingensis DC. The species has been found in S. Florida,
and Mr. Hemsley {Biol. Central Amer., i. 239) credits it to Texas and New
Mexico, but from what collectors we are not aware. Mr. Nealley's collection
brings the first Texan specimens we have seen.
87. Dalea formosa Torr. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county >.
88. Dalea frutescens Gray. Devil's River (Val Verde county), and Chenate
Mountains (Presidio county).
89. Dalea mallis Benth. Chisos Mountains (Foley county).
90. Dalea nana Torr. Roma (Starr county).
91. Dalea pogonathera Gray. Roma (Starr county), and Chisos Monntains (Foley
county). The Chisos specimens have unusually broad cuneiform leaflets.
A Mexican species, apparently extending northward only in to southern Texas
and Now Mexico.
92. Dalea Wrightii Gray. Chisos Mountains (Foley county). With unusually
broad bracts.
93. Petalostemon emarginatus Torr. & Gray. Pena (Duval county).
94. Petalostemon multiflorus Nutt. Corpus Christi.
95. Petalostemon violaceus Michx., var. tenuis Coulter, n. var. A slender low
form rarely as much as a foot high, with round or roundish-oblong small
often few-flowered heads ou long slender peduncles, and shorter ppinted
bracts (not equaling the calyx, and hence not very apparent in the head). —
Santa Anna (Coleman county). Apparently the form referred to in PL Fendl,
under no. 138. The species is an exceedingly variable one, but the above
variety is so distinct in character that it seems to deserve a name and descrip-
tion.
96. Astragalus leptocarpus Torr. Sl Gray. Brazos Santiago.
97. Astragalus Nuttallianus DC, var. trichocarpus lorr. & Gray. Brazos
Santiago. Apparently very common.

98. Zomia tetraphylla Miohx. Peiia (Duval county).
99. Deunodinin spirale DC. Liropia caRon (Presidio county). This seems to be
the first record of this Mexican species occurring in the United States. It
is qnite yariable in its pubescence, as well as its leaves. Our specimens are
all 3-foliolate, and hence seem not to be the same as D. annuum Qray (described
from Wright's Sonorau specimens), which Grisebach has included nnder D.
spirale DC. However, they are clearly the same as the. Mexican D. spiraU
of PHnghf no. 612, and of Parry 4" Palmer, no. 181, and accord well with all
published descriptions.
100. DeBmodium Wrightii Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
101. Vicia Ludoviciana Nutt. Point Isabel.
102. Qalactia heterophylla Gray. Pena (Duval county) and Chenate Mountains
(Presidio county). This remarkable species was first collected by Lind-
helmer. Nealley's collection brings excellent specimens from both Pena in
eastern Texas, and the Chenate Mountains of western Texas.
103. Cologania longifolia Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
104. PhaaeoluB acutifolius Gray. Liropia caflon (Presidio county). This species
has heretofore been collected only in Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico. Our
specimens represent the large-leaved Mexican form.
105. PhaseoluB umbellatuB Britton. (P. helvolus of Am. authors, not of L.) Cor-
pns Christi.
106. PhaseoluB macropoideB- Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county). So
far as the United States is concerned this species has only been found in
New Mexico by Wright, in 1851; by the Mexican Boundary Survey; and
lately (1881) by Rusby in the MogoUon Mountains, ^r. Nealley's discovery
of it in extreme western Texas not only brings us more of a rare plant, but
considerably extends its range. Pringh 12iW (1887), from plains near
Guerrero, Chihnahna, referred U> P. heterophyllus Willd., also seems to be this
species.
107. Rhynchosia menlBpermoidea DC. Corpus Christi.
108. Rhynchosia Tezana Torr. & Gray. Corpus Christi.
109. Hofibnanseggia Jameaii Torr. & Gray. Pena (Duval county).
no. Ho£Emaiiseggia melanosticta Gray. Chisos Mountains (Foley county). So
far as I know, this species has been reported but once from the United States
side of the Rio Grande, and then by Parry^ in the valley of the Rio Grande
below Donna Ana, in the Mexican Boundary Survey. It was found originally,
and but once since^ in northern Mexico (by Edwards at Rinconada and
Monterey, and by Gregg near Buena Vista and in a valley near Azufrora), and
is altogether one of the rarest of species. This Chisos Monntain collection
contains quite an amount of fruiting and flowering material. The speci-
mens conform exactly to the original description. In the case of the Mexican
Boundary Survey specimens Dr. Torrey speaks of the plants difiering some-
what from the description of Schauer in having only two or three pairs of
leaflets, and the vexillum destitute of glands and dots. In the Nealley
specimens the leaflets are three and lour pairs (mostly the former), and the
vexillum is decidedly dotted ; the single specimen of Parry that we have
seen shows the same characters. This species is the only American represent-
ative of the section Melanosticta, the two other species being South African.
The section is characterized chiefly by the densely black-glandular calyx-
lobes. The species somewhat resembles our common H. Jamesii Torr. &
Gray, but the leafleta are fewer, larger, and more distant, the whole plant
more villous, and the legumes larger and much more niuricate and glan-
dular. As no description of the species has been published in English, and
the Latin description is not very accessible, I append a translation of the
description given in Walp. Ann. i. 257: '^Fruticose: branchlets and racemes

oanegoent with Bhort yilloas retrorne hairs : leaves with two pain of piDnie
and a terminal pinna ; ptnnse all abrupt, with a mncronate rhachis ; leaflets
three or four pairs, obliquely elliptical, very short petiolulate, very obtnse
or retuse, together with the rhachis loosely villous, black-punctate beneath,
as are the calyx and legume : racemes terminal or lateral, peduncled, loose-
flowered: legume two to three-seeded, mnriculate, the short muriculations
stellate-pilose at apex."
111. Hoffinanaesgia ozycarpa Benth. Western Texas, collected in 1688. This
seems to be a very rare species, having been reported only by Wright from
Texas in 1851, and by the botanists of the Mex. Bound. Surv. from extreme
western Texas.
112. Hofbiianaeggia stxicta Benth. Corpus Christi (Nueces county) and Chenate
Mountains (Presidio county).
113. Parkinsonia aonleata L. Hidalgo (Hidalgo county).
114. Parkinaonia Torreyana Watson. Hidalgo (Hidalgo county). The finding of
this species along the lower Rio Grande was unexpected, as it has heretofore
seemed restricted to southern and western Arizona and contiguous Califor-
nia. Its representative in the Rio Grande Valley is P. florida Watson, and
they were thought to be as distinct in range as in characters, although the
western type was for a time confused with that of the Rio Grande. Nealley's
specimens, however, collected in both flower and fruit, show the character-
istic inflorescence, the thick-edged pod with its double groove, and the leaf-
lets of P. Torreyt^a, It is possible that the two forms should not be con-
sidered distinct species.
115. Caaaia bauhinioidea Gray. Roma (8tarr county).
116. Caaaia nictltaDa L. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
117. Caaaia procambens L. Pena (Duval county). This is a variable tropical-
American species, first found in Texas by Berlandier (no. '4^427), and after-
ward by the Mex. Bound, Surv. Berlaudier's specimen is larger than the
type. Nealley's specimens conform better in size, but have tUe decidedly
larger stipules and flowers of the Berlandier specimen. In a species so
widely extended and variable such variation counts for little.
118. Caaaia pumilio Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
119. Deamanthua depreaaua Hurab. & Bonpl. Sante Maria (Cameron county).
This species is abundant enough in southern Florida and the West Indies, also
from northern Mexico southward, but has only occasionally been collected in
Texas. The present collection indicates that it grows in abundance in Cam-
eron county, the most southern coast county of Texas.
120. Deamanthua reticulatua Benth. Corpus Christi (Nueces county) and Pena
(Duval county).
121. Blimoaa Berlandieri Gray. Brazos Santiago. This rare species seems to
have been collected heretofore only by Sohott, along the lower Kio Grande
in Texas, and by Berlandier (no. 3146) near Matamoras, on the Mexican side
of the river. Both of these discoveries were reported in Bot. Mex. Bound.
Survey (1859). Nealley's station, from which he has brought conside-
rable material, is just north of the mouth of the Rio Grande.
122. Mimoaa biuncifera Benth. South westeiii Texas. Collected in 1887.
123. Mimoaa dyaocarpa Benth. Linipia cafion (Presidio county). This species
was collected by Chas. JVi-ight in his New Moxicau collection of 1851, and by
Emory in the Mexican Boundary- Survey. Since then, it was collected in
1874 in Arizona by Boihrocky and by Priwjle in his Chihuahua collections.
With the present collection in weHteni Texas we have the range of this
species extending throughout northern Mexico and adjacent parts of the
United States.

125. Mimosa malacophylla Gray. Santa Maria (Cameron Aonnty).
125a. Mimosa strigillosa Torr & Gray. Brazos Santiago.
126. Leacaena retusa Bentb. Limpia (^fion (Presidio coanty). This species was
collected by Wright (oo. 171) in western Texas in 1849, and in New Mexico
(no. 1046) in 1651 ; tben by the Mexican Boundary Survey (no. 318) in the
valley of the Kio Gmnde below Donna Ana ; most recently by Eeverchon
(no. 1262) on rocky blnffs near Junction City (Kimble county).
127. Acacia amentacea DC. Konia (Starr connty). This collection brings to
handy for the first time, the roatnre legumes of this species, at least Ben-
tham, in bis Hev. MimosecBj says '^ legumen ignotnm,'' and I find no record of
any subsequent discovery. The legume is short-stipitate, arcuate, 7.5 to
10^™. long, and but 4 to 6"^. wide. It thus differs from its congener. A, Jlexi-
cauliSf in its stipitate and very narrow legume, as well as in its leaves with a
single pair of pinnas.
128. Acacia Berlandieri Benth. Hidalgo (Hidalgo county). Apparently quite
common on the dry hills of the lower Rio Grande.
129. Acacia constrlcta Benth. Roma (Starr county.) An abundance of fine fruit-
ing specimens.
130. Acacia Farnesiana Willd. Hidalgo) Hidalgo coanty) and Roma (Starr
county).
131. Acacia filicina Willd. Chisos Mountains (Foley County). Our plants show
an unusual reduction of the leaves of this abundant and exceedingly vari-
able species, the pinnte being 2 to 5 pairs, and the leaflets 5 to 10 pairs.
132. Acacia flezicanlis Benth. Santa Maria (Cameron county). This species
seems to belong to both coasts, having been found by Dr. Palmer at Corpus
Christi Bay, and by Mr. Nealley along the coast of Camerod county ; also by
Xantus along the coast of Lower California from Cape St. Lucas northward,
and by Dr. Palmer at Los Angeles Bay.
133. Pithecolobiam (Ungnis-cati) Tezense Coulter, n. «p. A shrub or small tree
armed with short stout stipular spines, the infioresconco and brancblets pu-
berulent: leaves with 1 or 2 pinnte, the lower pair (if any) much the smaller;
leaflets in the upper part of pinnaD 3 or 4 pairs, in the lower I or 2 pairs,
obliquely elliptical and the terminal pair mostly obovate, venulose and with
more or less excentric midrib, 6 to 10"»™ long, 4 to e"*"" wide : peduncles (about
\2mm long) apparently in axillary dusters (in fact on very much reduced
branches) : spike rather loosely flowered, oblong, 2.5 to 4^"^ long: the staro-
iueal tube exserted : pod coriaceous, becoming very bard and more or less
arcuate, with the thickened edges somewhat impressed between the seeds,
10 to 15' ™ long, 18 to 25"»"» wide, about 8-seeded. — Near Roma (Starr county).
This species bears a somewhat striking resemblance to Jcacia Jltxicauliat and
it is more than probable that it has been collected and referred to that
species. If collected only in foliage and fruit it would most probably be re-
ferreil to A, Jiexioaulis, However, the flowers not only show the indefinite
monadelphous stamens of the tribe IngeaSf but the stamiueal tube isexserted.
Belonging to the Unguis-caii section, it difi'ers from those with oblong spikes
in the leaves having usually a second and smaller pair of pinnie. Its nearest
allies belong to tropical America, some of them reaching north into Mexico.
134. Cowania plicata D. Don. Chisos Mountains (Foley county). A north Mexi-
can species, reported for the first time within our borders.

143. CEnothera Jameaii Torr. &. Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio county).
144. CEnothera roaea Ait. Santa Maria (Cameron couuty ). Some of the specimens

broad lanoeolate leaves. This South American and Mexican species baa here-
tofore been reported from Arizona and New Mexico, but not from Texas.
145. CEnothera roaea Ait., var. parvifolia Coulter, n. var. Low and diffusely
branching, 7.5 to 15<^»" high, villous: leaves very much smaller than in the
species, seldom 12'""> long : calyx purple. — Limpia ca&on (Presidio county).
Quite different in appearance from the species, being much smaller in all its
parts. The red purple of the calyx and the lilac-purple of the corolla give
a fuchsia-Iiko look to the flowers.

much intermingling of lanceolate and linear, denticulate and entire leaves
upon individual specimens.
150. Qaura Nealleyi Coulter, n. sp. Near to G, suffulta Engelm.; but lower part of
the stem sparingly hirsute, the rhachis, calyx, and bracts glandular-pubescent :
leaves rather crowded below, linear, acute, entire, closely sessile or somewhat
tapering' at base, glabrous except the minute and rigid more or less hooked
hairs on the margins and midrib beneath, 12 to 36""" long, but 2 or*3°*™

186. Bupatorium Oreggii Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio connty).
187. Bupatorium aolidaginifolium Gray. Limpia cafion (Presidio county). The

with these large panioled specimens are others with panicles of the described
dimensions.
188. Bupatorium Wrlghtii Gray. Chisos Mountains (Foley county). This beau-

of Chihuahua.
189. Brickellia oliganthes Gray, var. crebra Gray. Chenate Mountains (Presidio

almost smooth akenes and very short style appendages, as well as the smooth
oblong, obtuse and unequal involucral bracts, and leaf characters, serve well
to distinguish it.

In the Santa Anna specimens the heads are nearly always radiate, with deep
yellow rays about 6™"* loug, and the pappus can hardly be called *' subulate."
In fact, descriptions have hardly done justice to the very conspicuous pappus,

255. Sartuvellia FlaverlaB Gray. Screw Bean (Presidio county).
256. Flaveria chlorasfolia Gray. Screw Bean (Presidio county). Fine specimens
of this imperfectly known species bring to light some additional characters.
The plant becomes more than G*^*" high, with a thick st^m, and the lower
leaves become 7.5<^'° long and 5*^"^ wide at the perfoliate base. The coarse
glaucous stem, with its broad connate-perfoliate smooth and entire leaves,
give the plant the look of an Asclepias. A more important fact is that all the
Nealley material has pappus, composed of two to four thin paleie, which are all
on one side, leaving the other side naked. In the Sympt, Flora (p. 354) it is
said that ** a few flowers were once seen with a pappus of four thin paleie."
As this character appears in all of our abundant material the genus charac-
ter should be amended in that character. It is impossible to admit these
specimens into Flaveria, as defined by Bentham <& Hooker or Gray, as *' no
pappus" is one of its distinctive characters.

depauperate form of Z. CHfforUana L. It also approaches L. subnuda in
habit, the rosulate tuft of root*leaves being entirely unlike L. Cliffortiana,
but the seeds are those of the latter species. If not entitle<l to specific rank
it should probably become a variety or form of L, Feajfana Gray.

this species should not be transferred to Draperia,

about as long as the ovary : corolla marcescent around the two to four-seeded
capsule.— Roma (Starr county). Pringle 783 (collection of 1886), from Chi-
huahua, seems also to be a form of this variable species. Our variety has
some important points of difference from the species and any published varie-
ties, but it seems to be fairly included in the same specific relationship. If
this conclusion is right the range of this Californian and Arizonian x>olymor-

The following grasses have been determined by Dr. George Vasey, and include the
collections made in'southorn and southwestern Texas by Mr. Nealley during the throe
seasons of 1887, 1888, and 1889. For the plants of the first two seasons no specific
locality can be given, so that when no station is mentioned the general range of
" southern and southwestern Texas" is intended, and the date of collection is either
1887 or 1888. The collection of 1889 may be recognized by having the stations
specified, at least within a county. Special attention was given to the collection of
grasses, so that the following list is a very complete one :

A
LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY DR. EDWARD PALMER IN
LOWER CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN MEXICO IN 1890.
Bv Dr. Geo. Vasby and J. N. Boss.
Dr. Palmer spent some three months in Lower California in the early
part of this year, and his work has proved very valuable in adding to
onr knowledge of the flora of this region. His work has been arduous,
owing to the drought and heat, and the few accommodations to be had in
this wild and sparsely inhabited country ; this, added to his failing health,
has made his work doubly trying.
The following are the places visited, with the date of collection and
the numbers of the plants :

In order that the fullest facility for the determination of the plants of
the collection here described might be available, Mr. tT. ]N.Eose, As-
sistant Botanist, spent some time at Cambridge, Mass., in investigating
and comparing the plants with those contained in the herbarium of
Harvard College. We gladly acknowledge the generous help of various
lH)tanLBt8 in the determination of difficult species, and especially that of
Dr. Sereno Watson for his aid in studying many of the type plants in
the Cambridge herbarium.
PLANTS COLLECTED AT LA PAZ, LOV^B CAXIFOBNIA.*
Great interest was felt in Dr. Palmer's trip to La Paz and vicinity
this past winter and his rich collection has added much to our knowl-
' Read before the A. A. A. S. at IndiaDapolis, Angust 26, 1690.

edge of the flora of that region. Dr. Palmer left San Francisco Decem-
ber 25, by steamer, in company with Mr. T. S. Brandegee, who, landing
at Magdalena Bay, proceeded overland to Cape St. Lncas, while Dr.
Palmer continned to Gaaymas, Mexico^ and from there returned to La
Paz. In about two weeks, from January 20 to February 5, one hun-
dred and seventeen species were collected. Among these are two new
genera, fourteen new species, and many more very rare ones. The
southern half of the Galifornian peninsula has been almost unknown
botanically until the last two seasons, when, through the energetic
labors of Dr. Palmer and Mr. Brandegee, many new and rare species
have been brought to the knowledge of science. The few collections
that have been previously made in this region are well known to
botanists. The first collection was made by Mr. B. B. Hinds on the
voyage of H. M. S. Sulphur in 1839. Only about one hundred and
fifty species in all were collected, the larger part being new. They were
from Lower California, at San Quentin, San Bartolom^, Bay of Mag-
dalena, and Cape St. Lucas. Of this number nineteen were collected at
Cape St. Lncas, of which fifteen were described as new species.
No further collections were made in this region until 1859-^60, when
Mr. L. J. Xantus spent several months at Cape St. Lucas making a
collection of one hundred and twenty- two species, nineteen^ of which
Dr. Gray (Proc. Amer. Acad. V.) described as new. Quite a number of
the others have since been separated from the species to which they
were referred and are described as new. W. F. Fisher got a few things
at the Cape in 1876, and Mr. W. H. Townsend in 1889. M%j6r Rich » is
the first person of whom we have any record who collected at La Pac.
Three other valuable collections have been made in the central part of
the peninsula, which ought to be mentioned here, on account of the
numerous new species they contain (of which Dr. Palmer has re-collected
many) — namely : the collections of Dr. Palmer in 1887, at Los Angeles
Bay, and at Lagoon Head in 1889, and that of Mr. Brandeg^ in 1889,
from Magdalena Bay to San Quentin. Of the one hundred and fifty
species collected by Mr. Hinds, twenty-five were recollected and ten of
the fifteen new species collected by him at Cape St» Lucas ; forty-two
of the one hundred and twenty- two species of Xantus were recollected,
twelve of which were of the new ones of this collection ; sixty-three of the
species collected by Dr. Palmer at Guaymas and Los Angeles Bay were
recollected, eight being of the new species described by Mr. Watson
from that collection ; seventy-six of the species were collected by Mr.
Brandegee, six being his new species. Of the species collected fifty-
six extend into the United States, mostly into the desert region of
southern California and Arizona ; seventy-six have been collected in
Mexico (mostly from the western part); ten extend into Central
America and eight are in South America.

CAPPARIDACB2.
WlBlizenia refracta EngelDi. A common plant, 2 to 3 feet high, in alkali Boil,
near the sea-beach. The plant has a fetid odor. Onr plant seems to belong
to this species, having the trifoliate leaves and small frnit. It seems distinct
from the type of W. Palmerij but receut specimens referred to that species by
Watson and Brandegee seem to be intermediate forms uniting these species.
Mr. Brandegee in a recent note (Proc. Cal. Acad. 2nd Ser. II. 128) says he
thinks the distinction very slight. No. 88.
Atamiaqnea emarginata Miers. A small tree or bush 6 to 8 feet high, with few
stems, but with many short lateral branches, very brittle and consequently
very difficult to make into specimens. The flowers are white and '*as finely
scented as orange flowers." It was found contiguous to the ocean, on sandy
mesas, just coming into bloom. No. 58.
VIOLACBJB.
lonidium fraticnlosmn Benth. Bot. Sulph. 7. This plant is quite variable in its
leaves. The lower part of the siem is often woody, developing considerable
cork and seeming a true perennial. Our specimens seem to cover both the type
and Gray's variety dentata made from Xantus's No. 4. Found abundantly'under
shade of trees. No. 84.
P0L70ALACEJB.
Blrameria caneacena Gray, var. pancifolia Rose, n. var. Slightly pubescent, with
weak spreading branches: leaves very small (1 to 2 lines long) and dis-
tant : sepals (3 to 4 lines long) broad, merely acute.
Dr. Palmer collected at Guaymas and Los Angeles Bay, 1887, a plant much
like this in habit and foliage, but with the narrower sepals and spatulate petals
of the type and thus representing an intermediate form. It is proper to state
here that Mr. Brandegee thinks the plant should go into K. bioolor Watson.
While the plant has the petals and larger fruit of this species, it has different
pubescence, smaller leaves, broader sepals, and smaller bracts to the pedicels.
The following is Dr. Palmer's note : '' Found upon mesas and edges of ravinea
among other plants, at the base of which they grow, and by which the weak
stems are supported, making by the many interlacing branches a thick mass,
which appears like a parasite. Not seen by itself. Found but one plant with
seed ; the seed-pods had sprouted upon the plant, forming three rather fleshy
leaves like the leaves of the plant and of a bronze color. Flowers mauve.''^
No. 4.
CAR70PH7LLACE2L
Drymaria craaalfolia Benth. Bot. Sulph. 14. Abundant on sandy beach. No. 6 of
Xantus. First collected by Hinds at Cape St. Lucas. No. 142.
PORTULACACEJB.
Portulaca piloaa L. (f ). Probably this species, but material insufficient for perfect
determination. Common on beach and under trees contiguous to ocean. It is
very tenacious of life, specimens before me having been in press for almost
three months and still nearly as fireen as when collected. No. 140.
MALVACRS.
Sphasralcea Califomica Rose, n. sp. Two to 4 and sometimes even 10 to 12 feet
high, densely stellate-pubescent, becoming somewhat glabrate below : leaves
triangular-oblong, 1^ to2i inches long, cordate or truncate at base, more or
less 3-lobed, crenately-toothed, densely stellate-pubescent : inflorescence open
paniculate; flowers orange-yellow: calyx 2 to 3^ lines long, its lobes ovate-

13 to 16, strongly reticalated below, the sterile part a mere iDcorred aoatish
tip ; ovule and seed one.
8. Coulteri Braodegee. Proc. Cal. Aoad. 2nd Ser. II. 135.
One of the most common plants of Lower California. Dr. Palmer fonnd it in
the ravines and sandy spots contiguous to the beach at La Paz, growing; 2 to :i
feet high. Mr. Brandegee writes me that in moist places it is 10 to 12 feet high.
It is a rough, homely plaut, avoided by all grazing animals. In habit and pubes-
cence the plant resembles Xantns's (No. 10) plant from Cape St. Lucas, but the
carpels are eutirely different, in fact they are almost the exact counterpart of
those of 8, Coulteri Gr. This strong similarity has led Mr. Brandegee into the
error of referring his specimens of last year to this species. While the carpels
are so similar and like no other 8pKceralceay still there seems a slight difference.
8, Coulteri Gr. is less pubescent and the terminal part (wrongly called the
** horizontal projection at base'' by Watson and Brandegee) is very broad and
obtnse. 8, Californica is said by Mr. Brandegee to be an annual, but appears
to be biennial or perhaps perennial. 8. Coulteri Gr., originally described as per-
ennial, is clearly an annual. It is also very different in habit ; 8, Coulteri Gr.,
is either procumbent or with branches ascending, while ^. Californica is tall and
erect. The pubescence is very different as well as the shape and toothing of
the leaves, and the size and color of the flowers. No. 18.
Horsfordia Palmer! Watson. Proc. Amt^r. Acad. XXIV. 40. Six feet hit^h, with
single upright stem and many lateral branches: lower leaves 4 to 5 inches long.
Common on sandy mesas, called " Mariola," and much used as a remedy in
female diseases. No. 96.
Horsfordia rotondifolia WatKon. Proc. Amer. Acad. XXIV. 41. Found sparingly
on a stony ridge. No. 117.
Sida Zanti Gray. Proc. Amer. Acad. XXIL 296. Collected by Xantns IBSd^'GO, but
not described until three years ago. The flowers are described as '' apparently
white but perhaps yellow." Dr. Palmer speaks of the •* golden-colored bloom,"
but in the plants before ns there is a purplish tinge. The few plants obtained
are from a stony ridge. It grows 3 to 4 feet high, with two or three slender
stems from the base and few lateral branches. No. 27.
Abutilon Palmer! Gray. No. 90.
AbQtIlon incannm Don. A plant 3 or 4 feet high, growing in sandy gnlches among

Aplopappus arenariuB Benth. It is undoubtedly a true Aplopappus and probably
Bentham's species from Cape St. Lucas. It does not appear to be Xantus's spe-
cies, referred here by Qray. The A, spinulosua of Brandegee, from Sau Gregoria,
probably belongs with it. The style tips are deltoid and the akenes are turbi-
nate, and 8 to lOrribbed. Found on the mesas and exposed places. A compact
plant and an abnndaot bloomer. No. 17.
Conlterella,' n. gen. (Plate I.) Heads 1-flowered (rarely 2), in cymose, glomerate
clusters. Flowers tubular, fertile. Proper involucre tubular, of three united
bracts, 3-toothed at apex, winged in fruit, iuclosing the ovary and corolla tube
and permanently investing the akene. Corolla regular, with narrow proper
tube and deeply cut into lanceolate divisions longer than the tube. Stamens
inserted high up in the tube; anthers wholly exserted, sagittate at base. Style
branches elbngated and obtnse, papillo>e. Akene linearcuneate and terete;
pappus a minute annular -crown or obsolete. — A compact shrub, glabrous and
succulent. Leaves opposite, entire or dentate, sessile. Corolla yellow. Prob«
ably belonging to the tribe Helianthaidetej snb-tribe Lagaaoeee^ but possibly of
the tribe InulotdeaSf and a relationship has been suggested with Gray's little
Dimeresia of Oregon. The opposite leaves, broad style-branches and merely
sagittate anthers seem to more properly refer it to the former tribe. Named
in honor of John M. Coulter, editor of Botanical Gazette aud author of numer-
ous botanical works.
Coolterella capitata, n, sp. A shrub with many branches, forming a large bush 4
feet high: leaves very fleshy, about an iuch long, with few spiny dentations:

peduncles : the outer involucre of short linear bracts, the inner longer, ovate
and acute: disk about 3 lines high; rays 8, about 5 lines long, sty iiferona:
akenes 2-awned. — We name this species for Xantus, who collected here in
1859-'60. It seems nearest B, angmtisaima H. B. K., but differs in its terete
stem, shorter leaflets, and glabrous involucre. It differs from most Bidens in its

Carlo'WTightia oordifolia Gray. Proc. Amer. Acad. XXIV. 406. A rare plant,
growing under shade of bushes on mesas. This plaut differs from the poor
specimens of the type in the National Herbarium, which has the flowers
arranged unilaterally along the spike, and the leaves more strongly veined.
The corolla also is described as being white, while Dr. Palmer writes that
these are canary color. Mr. Brandegee also referred here a plant from f irther
north. Dr. Palmer got the type from Batopilas, Mexico. No. 107.
Beloperone Califomica Benth. Only two plants seen. No. 98 from the edge of an
arroyo. Only a few slender branches in bloom at the top of the plant, which is
5 feet high. No. 99, near the bank of a dry creek, was also in poor condition,
but contained a few capsules as well as flowers. The seeds are smooth (as Mr.
Brandegee has pointed out) and not " coarsely rugose,'' as stated in Syn. Flora.
Our seeds are somewhat wrinkled. Nos. 98 and 99.

Jnsticia Palmeri Rose, n. sp. About 3 feet high, cinereous, pnberulent : leaves lan-
ceolate, 2 inches long, on short petioles, glabrous, or with a little appressed
pubescence: flowers few, on small axillary branches or forming terminal pani-
cles : bracts 3, foliaceous, spatulate, 3 to 5 lines long, the central one longer
and broader : calyx small, 1^ lines long, deeply 5-cleft : corolla scarlet, about
1 inch long, deeply bilabiate, its tube 6 to 7 lines long; lower lip 3-cleft, its
oblong lobes 3 to 4 lines long ; upper lobe with a slight notch : stamens 2, in-
serted in the throat; anther cells 2,parallel, unequally inserted, the lower one
muoronate: capsule glabrous, 7 lines long, the stout stipe a little more tbau
half its length ; seeds 4, 2 lines long, flattened, cordate orbicular rugose.— The
seeds of this species are very similar to those of SiphonogloB^a Pilotella Torr., but
in other respects it is quite different. Found growing in shade on an arroyo.

tion to more northerly forms of S, nigra which the serotinous state of 8, lasio-
UpiSf at one time recognized as a good species, does to the normal development
of typical lasiolepis. The appearance of the aments in the axils of the mature
leaves is the result of climatic influences, and would seem to be in the former
instance, as it is well-known to be in the latter, of no significance, not even
as indicating a variety. The leaves are not thinly puberulous, as they are
said to be in the type specimens from Mazattan, but this character is so incon-
stant in forms of this group that its absence only calls for mention because of
the undue prominence given it in describing S. pallida Kuntb.

SAN PEDBO MARTIN ISLAND PLANTS.
Dr. Palmer visited this island^ two years ap^o, making a collection of
nineteen species, twelve of which were considered peculiar to the island.
On February 13 of the present year he spent one day on this island
and obtained but three plants, all CorapositaB. One is the new genus
Pelucha of Mr. Watson, now collected in splendid condition and in
abundance. Another proves to be a new species of HofmHsteria^ and
the third a Perityle^ new to the island. Dr. Palmer makes the follow-
ing note with reference to the flora of the island : These plants did not
bloom during the rainy season of 1887, as they are winter bloomers.
There is no especial flora making its appearance, as has been snpi>osed,
during the winter. No rain has fallen since early in November, and all
plants except those deeply rooted are dry and dead. The following is
a list of the twenty species known to inhabit the island. Those which
are peculiar to the island are marked thus.*

Hofineisteiia laphamioides^ Rose, n. sp. Shrabby, 3 feet bigb, gland alar pubes-
cent : leaves opposite or alternate above, 6 or 8 lines long, on petioles somewbat
longer, triangnlar, donbly crenate : flowers in small corymbose clusters, some-
times pedicels very sbort: involucre 4 lines long, of linear-acuminate bracts in
about 3 series: flowers numerous: corolla white, 2^ to 3 lines long: style
deeply cleft, much ezserted : pappus of 8 to 10 scabrous setse, alternating witb
as many paleas.— Very common over the summit of San Pedro Martin Island.
February 13. .
Dr. Palmer says: '^A compact plant with dense green leaves just coming
into bloom/' This plant was collected by Dr. Palmer on the same island (No.
406) in 1887, but in very poor condition. It is the Laphamia (f) sp., Proc.
Amer. Acad. XXIV. 37. No. 148.
Pelacha trifida Watson. Pioc. Amer. Acad. XXIV. 55. This plant was described
as a new genus by Dr. Watson last year. Dr. Palmer has now collected it in
great abundance. The stems are covered with a white toraentnm, forming a
strong contrast with the abundant golden- yellow flowers. It has a very strong
aroma as of cloves and cinnamon, and so powerful is this at times that it causes
persons to sneeze and cough. No. 150.
Perityle Exnoryi Torr. This is the same form collected by Dr. Palmer at Los An-
geles Bay (No. 562), 1887. Only two plants found at the south end of the
island. No. 149.
BAZA ISLAND PLANTS.
Dr. Palmer spent one day (February 12, 1890) on this island, and col-
lected eight species of Phanerogams with one lichen. The following is
from his notes :
Isla Raza is an island 136 miles northwest from Guaymas, and from 45 to 50 miles
west from San Pedro Martin Island. It is three- fourths of a mile long (from east to
west) and half a mile wide; it rises about 100 feet above the water; being covered
with a deposit of guano, it has a whitish appearance. The island is exceedingly
rocky, except a few low places which seem to have been subjected to the action of
large volumes of water; these spofs produce a few varieties of plants which are
naoally found upon alkali soil (some of the same plants were found on the rocky sur-
faces also). Above these places were found three patches of Cactus. One plant of
Cerens Pringlei, 10 feet high, stood among loose rocks above high tide. There had
been no rain-fall on the island for more than a vear.
Opnntia tunicata Lehm. Our plant seems the same as that of Parry and Palmer's
distribution ; fruit 6 to 10-jointed. A few small patches seen in exposed places
among rocks. No. 160.
Opnntia echinocarpa Engelm. &, Bigel. A few small patches among rooks. Not in
flower, and but few scattered fruits. No. 161.
Sesuviom Portnlaoastrum L. A very common plant in large patches near the
salt water. Dr. Palmer says this plant has been often mistaken for a low
grass by persons passing the island. In its exposed position and dense green
color on a barren island of almost total whiteness it would naturally command
notice by passing vessels. No. 153.
Salicomia ambigua Michx. Only two small patches of this plant seen near the
beach. No. 152.
1 Dr. Palmer has since collected this species at Santa Rosalia, but a more glabrous
form with the lower leaves oval and with cordate base. The plant is quite bushy,
2 to 2i feet high, with fleshy leaves, just coming into bloom March 1.

Atriplex dilatata Greene. Pitt. 1. 264. Grows on low places on the island withoat
rocks. No. 155 is the fertile plant, and 156 is the sterile plant. Dr. Palmer
says the sterile heads are purple before opening. Nos. 155 and 156.
Atriplex insularia Rose, n. sp. Dioecions, woody below, 5 to 6 feet high, mncb
branched, glaucous throughout: leaves 9 to 15 lines long, oval with cuneate
base and broadly spatulate, on short petioles, obtuse or retuse : inflorescence of
male plant almost naked and a dense panicle of glomernles ; of female plant a
dense somewhat ieafy spike : bracts a line long, a little broader than long,
with truncate apex and with small teeth, the sides with two conspicuous toothed
crests. — One of the commonest plants of the island. It grows in the low places
where there are no rocks, and in the rocky ledges wherever there is soil. No.
158 is the ferale plant and 159 the sterile. Our species seems nearest A, Palmeri
of Guadalupe Island, but is very different in its bracts, etc. Noa. 158 and 159.
No. 157. An unknown shrub without flowers or fruit, and almost destitute of leaves.
Only a few plants seen. It resembles Pluohea horealis.
No. 154. Also, in poor condition, a perennial with many small pnbesoent leaves.
SANTA BOSALIA AND SANTA AGUEDA PLANTS.
From San Pedro and Baza Island Dr. Palmer visited two places on
the eastern side of the peninsula of Lower California, namely, Santa
Rosalia and Santa Agaeda. At the first-named place he spent ten days
(February 20 to March 3), and after visiting Santa Agueda returned
for another day (March 15). This locality is 92 miles nearly northwest
from Guaymas. The country is hilly and rough, covered with rocks.
Only two heavy rains have fallen this season ; the strong northwest
winds which prevail here soon destroyed any indication of rain. Only
the most favorable circumstances admit of plants blooming at this
season.
March 4-5 was spent at Santa Agueda, 10 miles from Santa Bosalia.
Dr. Palmer says this locality is watered by springs and surrounded by
low stony mountains, witli a thin, diversified vegetation- that now looks
parched ; even the cactus is without flowers. The small patches of land
that can be cultivated afford but few plants, and the great number of
domestic animals kept here (owing to the springs) devour everything
outside of the inclosures except what is so absolutely bitter or thorny
that they can not do so. All the vegetable used by the miners at Santa
Rosalia are brought from this place.

15. No. 266.
MALVACEA.
SphaBralcea albiflora Rose, n. sp. Two to 2^ feet high ; slender, densely covered
with white stellate pubescence: leaves oval to ovate, 9 to 18 lines long,
tbe petiole somewhat shorter, somewhat rugose, subcordate base, crenate mar-
gin: flowers white, 6 lines broad, in short axillaryclustered racemes: calyx 3
lines long, with slender acntish lobes: carpel reniform, a full line long, the
lower part strongly and finely reticulated, tbe upper and sterile pare very
small. — In a cation growing in shade, near Santa Rosalia, March 3.
This plant mostly resembles i^. aulphurea of Guadalupe Island in habit and car-
pellary structure, but tbe pubescence lacks tbe tomentum, tbe calyx lobes not
so broad ; tbe carpels, while similar, are easily separated ; tbe carpel is slender
and shorter, with stronger aud finer reticulations and a shorter sterile part. In
habit rescmbliug 8, axillariSf but with very diflerent carpels. No. 205.
Sphasraloea violacea Rose, n. sp. Simple stems about 3 feet high, densely covered
with a stellate pubescence : leaves ovate to lanceolate acuminate, 2 to 2^ incbes
long: calyx, 2i lines long, its lobes ovate, acute: petals, 5 lines long, lilac: oar-
pels 1 to 1^ lines long; tbe sterile part about half the length of tbe carpel,
obtuse. — Growing in shade at Santa Rosalia, Marcb 15, and seemingly not
oommon.

spiny tips, 4 to 5 lines long; sti poles long erect spines: petals 4 lines long,
deep rose color.— Sauta Rosalia, February 24 to March 3.
This species very much resembles F. Calijomica in fruit and flowers, but of
very different habit, leaves, and npright stipules; and in its 5 leaflets differs
from all the other described species of this genus. Dr. Palmer sajs of it:
grows in a bunch from several stems 1 to H feet high, the lower ones often
lie on the ground. It is very spiny. The leaves, especially upon the lower
two- thirds of tbe plant, have a decided golden hue, which is very noticeable
at a distance. No. 209.

Palmer tbinks this is owing to tbe soil and moisture, for in dry and stony places
they are short and straight-. Only a single plant found in flower, and tbey of a

PLANTS COLLEOTBD AT GUAYMAS.
The plants collected at Gaaymas were obtained at several different
times. No very extensive collection was made at this time, as this re-
gion was so thoroughly examined in 1887; yet in spite of this former
almost exhaustive collection this region still yields some new species
and others of great interest. Of this latter class is to be mentioned
Prasopis heteraphylla Bentham, now for the first time obtained in flower,
and SphdcrcUcea Covlteri Gray.
fipbaexaloea Cotdtexi Qray.' A little annaal 2 to 6 inches high, growing scatteringly

Coorsetia glandulosa Gray. In our remarks on this species from La Paz, p. 68, we
mentioned that C. miorophylla should probably be referred to this species. A care-
ful examination of a large supply of material from Guaymas convinces ns that
the two species are the same. C. glandulosa was collected by Xantus frt>m the
extreme point of Lower California in flower, with merely the old leaves remain
ing. C. microphylla came from Pringle's Arizonian collection, and is somewhat
more advanced with the small leaves, but the older and larger ones gone. The
leaflets of this species are very variable, and the two forms are sometimes to
be found on the same specimens. In most of the specimens, sent the leaflets
are as in C. microphyllay small (1 to 3 lines), long sericeous pubescent, while on
the same plant we find the large (7 lines long by 3 to 4 lines broad) almost glab-
rous leaflets of the original C. glandulosa : the flowers are white, becoming- rose-
colored. A very common shrub in gravelly arroyos about Guaymas. It is 4 to
6 feet high, with several stems from the base aixd somewhat spreading. A very
profuse bloomer. February 15 to 17. . It seems also to have been collected here
by Palmer without flowers or fr^it in 1887, but not reported by Mr. Watson.

Acacia Willardiana Rose.* A slender tree, 10 to 15 feet high, with few drooping
branches, glabrous, and without spines of any kind : leaves with minnte, de-
ciduous stipules^ petioles phyllodia-like, 3 to 12 inches long by 1 line broad,
either naked or with mostly 1, sometimes 2, and rarely 4 pairs of ptnnse at the
tip ; leaflets where present 4 to 5 pairs, sometimes 12 to 15, somewhat fleshy,
indistinctly 1 to 2 nerved, 1 to 2^ lines long, abruptly acute, glabrous or minutely
pilose, as also the petioles and younger parts of the stem : the inflorescence a
panicle of slender spikes terminating the slender branches: spikes 2 inches long;
flowers yellow : calyx companulate, about a line long, with 5 broad obtuse
teeth : petals a little longer, distinct to the base, oblong to cuneate oblung,
obtuse or abruptly acute: stamens 140 to 150. ^'Legumen planum, rectum,
4^ poUicare, 5 liu. laterum." Prosopis (T) heterophylla Benth. Loud. Jour. Bot.
^ While reading the proof of this paper a letter comes from Dr, Palmer, nnder date
of September 10, 1890, inclosing two mature legumes of this species, which now for
the first time have been collected, and may be described as follows :
Legume glabrous, oblong to linear oblong, 2 to 4 inches long, 5 to 7 lines broad, ob-
tuse at tip, cuneate at base, extending into the short stipe; some constricted, others
not at all, membranaceous, with delicate irregular reticulations; seeds brownish,
oval to oblong, 4 to 5 lines long.
The numerous filaments are still present in these mature specimens, forming a white
Iringe surrounding the stipe, and it is a little strange that they had not been observed
by Benthan, who bad the immature legumes.
Only two mature legumes were found, all the others having been killed by the hot
winds of June. Dr. Palmer says " this was confirmed by my own observation, for an
entire day was spent among Acacia Willardiana and I only found two pods.*'

Uab. ''Sonora alta iu Mexico, Coulter;" Guaymas, Palmer (No. 628), 1887^
and now from the ** rocky islands and ledges on the coast of Gaaymas har-
bor."
The collection of this plant in dower for the first time enables as to de-
cide its generic position. It was collected by Dr. Thomas Coulter fifty or more
years ago, bat only in frait, and there is apparently bat a single specimen in
existence, which is in the herbarium of Trinity CoUege, Dublin. It was found
by Mr. Bentham when on a visit to this herbarium, and was described by him
in 1846 in the Lond. Jour. Hot. as a new species of Proaopie, It was doubtfully
referred bore, however, and its possible reference to Ao<icia was mentioned.
Palmer's specimen of 1887 was without flower or fruit, and Mr. Watson could
do no more than identify it as Bentbam's species. Although in habit the species
of the two genera are similar, with the flowers the two are readily and clearly
separated, Pro9opia having always ten stamens, while in Acacia they are numer-
ous, and in ours decidedly so, being 140 to 150. There are several little points
of difference between Bentham's description and our plant, which should be
noted here,but the general characters are so clear as to leave no doubt as to
the identity of the two plants. Bentham says " stipuIsB obsolete, " while we
find small but deciduous stipules; also ** pinnse 2, rarius 4," while in none of
our specimens do we find more than one pair ; again '' foliola 12 to 15 juga,"
while ours are mostly 4 to 6, a few are 10 to 15. The young branches are white, as
mentioned by Bentham, but in age become a grey or reddish brown. Unfor-
tanately a new name must be coined for the species, A, heteropkylla having
long before (1805) been used*by Willd^now; neither can it be named for either
of the collectors. Coulter or Palmer, as they both have species named for them
in the genus; nor for Mr. Bentham, who, although not so fortunate, is repre-
sented in the synonomy of this genus. At the request of Dr. Palmer we have
named this species for Mr. Alex. Willard, United States consul at Guaymas,
Mexico, who has given every aid possible to him on his several visits at that
place. No. 164.

No. 167. This is 179 of Palmer's collection, also obtained by Xantas and Brandegee.
Its generic position is not known.
The leaves are narrowly to broadly linear, 3 to 5 inches long, 2 to 6 lines
broad : fruit round and black.
Dr. Palmer says the tree sheds its leaves just as it is ready to bloom; the
young ones appear at the ends of the branches as the flowers expand, and are
fall grown when the fruit is ripe. At first he was of the opinion that the shed-
ding of the leaves was caused by the trees growing in dry, rocky places, with
little or no soil, as these being in full bloom (probably brought on by the heavy
rains which had fallen a few weeks before), while those in deep soil were in
full leaf and had yet not shown even a flower bud. He visited Gnayraas a
month afterward (March 15) and found the trees growing in deeper soil were
then in bloom and had just dropped their leaves also; he believes, therefore^
that the falling of the old leaves at blooming is a natural character.
It is surprising that a tree of such size and of such wide distribution baa for
so long been and still remains unknown to botanists. A letter from Dr. Palmer
of recent date (September 10th) states that he has been unable to get fruit of
this plant, the dry hot wind of June having killed the young frnit.

LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY DR. EDWARD PALMER IN
WESTERN MEXICO AND ARIZONA IN 1890.
By J. N. Rose.
The plants upon which this report is based were collected by Dr.
Palmer, in 1890, in Mexico and Arizona. Dr. Palmer returned to
Oaaymas March 18, after finishing his collection at Santa Bosalia;^
from this place he went to Alamos, remaining three weeks, and then
retamed to Ouaymas; from here he proceeded to Arizona, staying
three months, and then went to San Francisco and remained until
August 23, when he again left for the Oulf of California, expecting to
land at Carmen Island, but owing to some regulations of the custom
ofBcials of Mexico he was carried to Ouaymas. He was planning
again to visit Carmen Island,' when an opportunity offered to return
to Alamos, and as he was desirous of getting the summer as well as
the winter flora, he postponed the trip to Carmen Island and embarked
by steamer for Agiabampo, the seaport of Alamos. This second trip to
Alamos lasted two weeks, and was very successful, notwithstanding it
was interrupted by a severe attack of intermittent fever, which com-
pelled him to return to the seacoast.
The total number of new si>ecies collected by Dr. Palmer and reported
in this paper is 45, with several new varieties.
The following table will show the places visited, with the date of col-
lection and the number of plants:

I wish to express here my thanks to Dr. George Vasey, Botanist of
the Agricultural Department, under whose direction this report has
been prepared, and whose ready familiarity with North American
plants has been a great source of help ; to Dr. Sereno Watson and his
assistant, Dr. B. F. Eobinson, for courtesies shown me while at, Gray
Herbarium ; to Mr. Wm. M. Canby for the generous loaning of many
plants, and for aid in difficult determinations ; and to various special-
ists, both at home and abroad, who have given help in their separate
lines, which is credited in the proper place in the text.
PLANTS OOLLEOTED AT ALAMOS.
Alamos or Los Alamos is a mining town of about 10,000 inhabitants, sit.
uated 180 miles southeast from Guaymas. Its altitude is 1,275 feet above
sea level. Two visits were made here, one in the dry season, March 26
to April 8; the other during the rainy season, September 16 to 30. The
flora of the two seasons is very different, and only 8 or 10 species
are duplicated in the two collections. The collection in the spring
yielded about 130 species (Nos. 276 to 414) ; of these, 18 are new. The
fall collection contained about 120 species, 25 of which are new. The
following interesting facts are gathered from Dr. Palmer's notes. The
beginning and ending of the rainy season varies somewhat; generally it
commences in July and lasts until the first week of October. After the
first good rains vegetation springs up as by magic, grows rapidly, then
disappears nearly as quickly as it came ; it is at its best in August.
The soil is mostly poor and rocky except in the valley.
While at Alamos, Dr. Palmer visited the Alamos Sierra or Sierra de
los Alamos, a mountain 6 miles due south of the town of Alamos. Of
the 75 species collected here 13 were indeterminable ; of the 62 remain-
ing ones 18, or more than one- fourth, are new. The total number of
species collected at Alamos and vicinity was 263, of which 36 were inde-
terminable^ and of the 227 remaining 43 are new. Among the plants of
this collection are many very beautiful ones which should claim the at-
tention of cultivators. Of these we cite: Heterapterya PortillanOj a
recent species described by Mr. Watson. This is especially attractive
for its large clusters of red fruit. It is very common at Alamos and
could easily be obtained for cultivation.
Oalphimia Humboldtianaj a rare plant in herbaria, is a common and
attractive shrub of the mountains here. It is 6 to 8 feet high, with a
handsome top,large racemes of yellow flowers, and attractive foliage.
Cordia Sonorce is a new species, a very beautiful shrub or small tree,
and an abundant bloomer.
> It is proper to state here that tbe reason so many of these plants are not deter-
mined is because Dr. Palmer collected a number in the dry season, which were not in
a proper condition, hoping to supplement them in the rainy season; but he was unable
to recollet them.

Tababouia Palmeri, another new species, is a conspicuous tree of this
region. It grows to the height of 25 feet and produces large clusters of
flowers.
Three or four of the Ipomoeas are very attractive ; one is a tree 30
feet high ; another is a climbing shrub (/. bracteata) with large conspic-
uous bracts which give the plant a very showy appearance; two other
new species are high climbing vines.

Echinopterys Lappula Jobs. The leaves of this plant are quite variable, sometimes
obtase, a$(ain tbe upper ones acuminate. This is the same as Palmer's Guaymas
(1887) plant referred here by Watson, diftering only slightly from his description.
Our plant differs considerably in habit, being a climbing shrub covering the tops
of surrounding bushes. Alamos. No. 404.
Galphimia Humboldtiana Benth. Dr. Palmer says: "It is the most beautiful
plant of the mountain, forming a conspicuous object along the arroyos. It grows
6 to 8 feet high with one or more stems and a compact top of numerous racemes
of bright yellow flowers as if polished, changing by age to light brown ; this
double coloring of the flowers contrasts strongly with the dark green of the leaves
and gives it a just claim for cultivation.'' Mountains about Alamos. March 20
to April 8. No. 284.
Heteropterys Portillana Watson, Proc. Amer. Acad. xxii. 402. This species was
described from flowering specimens only, and as both flowers and fruit are now
at hand additional characters are here appended. Flower buds pink to rose-col-
ored: styles 3: stoara puberulent, 1 to 3 mostly 2, rarely 3, with several lateral
crests ; the dorsal wing 9 lines long. Dr. Palmer says the fruit, which is of a
shiny brick-red color, grows in large masses, making it very attractive, and he
considers it a valuable plant for cultivation. A very common plant about Alamos
growing over brush and bushes especially along water-courses and in caflous.
September 16 to 30. No. 655 in flower and No. 656 in fruit. The only other time
it has been collected was by Dr. Palmer at Baranoa, Jalisco, in 1886.

water-courses. Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 675 (flowers). No. 676
(fruit). Collected also in fruit, March 25 to April 8. No. 323.
Sexjania Mezicana Willd. A climbing plant with long slender stems with scat-
tered short prickles: flowers sweet-scented, white, in racemes 3 to 4 inches long.
Dr. Palmer says the Mexicans use the stem to tie wood, grass, etc., into bundles,
its strength and pliability making it very applicable for such purposes. It is
called **quirote culebra." Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 363.
Vitia A.rizonica Engelm. Probably this species. Only collected in flower. The
fruit is said to be of no value. Only two plants seen. Found climbing over
rocks, along a. water-course, half way up the Alamos Mountain. March 26 to
April 8. No. 296.
Rhtia Palmerl, n. sp. Large shrub or small tree, 5 inches in diameter, 6 to 15 feet
high, with large loosely-hanging top ; branches puberulent : leaves pinnate ;
rhachis not winged ; leaflets 5 to 13 mostly 9 to 11, elliptical-oblong, 1^ to 2 inches
long, acute, mucronate-tipped, appressed, pubescent: panicle terminal, 3 to 5
inches long: flowers unknown: berries glabrous, red, 3 to 5 lines in diameter,
acid, very vis^/id. — Along a water-course half way up the Alamos Mountain,
March 26 to April 8. No. 321. Although not in flower this is evidently a Rhus
and seemingly nearest R, juglandifolia Willd. of Southern Mexico, but the leaf-
lets are smaller and pubescent.

Crotalaria ovaliB Parsh. Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 712.
Indigofera Anil L. This is a small plant 1 to 1^ feet high with dark bronze colored
leaves. Pods few, shorter than in oar herbariam specimens, and almost straight.
Collected under pines and oaks on the snromitof the monntain March 26 to April
8. No. 35S. Common along rayines at Alamos, March 25 to April 8. No. 311.
Hosackia Alamosana,' n. sp. Procumbent^ rooting at the joints, glabrous or the
younger parts with appressed hairs: leaves 3 to 5-pinnate; stipules 1 to 2 lines
long, foliaceons, ovate, acute; leaflets obovate, obtuse, 2 to 5 lines long:
peduncles slender, 2 to 4 inches long, 1 to 4-flowered, mostly 2 : bracts I, seta-
ceous : flowers small 2 to 3 lines long : calyx tube less than a line long ; its lobes
almost as long and very narrow: corolla yellow : pods 10 to 15 lines long, terete,
erect, 12 to 15-seeded; seeds turgid, oblong, lucid. — Halfway up the mountain
in a wet spot. Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 400. Dr. Palmer says : ** The
plant roots at every joint and forms a thick sod." The plant is nearest H. angus-
HfoUa of Mexico, but differs from it especially in its procumbent habit; its fewer
and obtuse leaflets ; smaller flowers and bracts. It is questionable, whether
Seempnn'8(No. 121 of Botany Herald) broader leaved form from this same range
of mountains may not really be our plant. Mr. Hemsley (Biol. Cent.-Amer. i.
234), who has probably seen Seemann's plant, however, kept it as a possible
variety of J7. angustifolia and refers to it Parry and Palmer's No. 140, which is a
very different plant from ours.
It diflers from H. repens Don. (which species Mr. Hemsley has omitted in the Biol.
Cent.-Amer.) in its fewer leaflets (1 to 3 pairs), and these not mucronulate; heads
fewer flowered (mostly 2, rarely 4) ; and glabrous calyx.
Hosackia puberula Benth. A slender plant, under oaks and pines. Alamos
Mountain. March 26 to April 8. No. 343.
tSysenhardtia orthocarpa Watson, Proc. Anier. Acad. xvii. 339. A small tree 10
to 15 feet high, sometimes 6 to 8 inches in diameter : flowers white. Called '* Palo
dulce." The wood steeped in water makes a sweet, refreshing drink, much rel-
ished by fever patients. In the Alamos Monntain. March 26 to April 8. No.
354.
Dalea nutans Willd. Three to five feet high, with slender hanging branches. Very
common in the upper portion of the mountain. The branches are often used by
the Mexicans for brooms. Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 385.
Dalea 'Wislizeni Gray. Three feet high, with drooping tendency : flowers of a
bright mauve color. Not common. Collected in the upper part of the Alamos
Mountain, March 26 to April 8. No. 282.
Dalea Domingensis DC. Two to three feet high: leaflets somewhat larger than in
type. Only a few plants seen near Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 380. Also
September 16 to 30. Letter C.
Dalea calycosa Gray. It grows on stony ridges close to the ground, almost hidden
from view in the grass. Flowers white at first, becoming pinkish when drying.
Dalea laevigata Gray. (T) Four to five feet high, without leaves : flowers white.
Very common in the mountain. Dr. Palmer says that the branches are made
into brooms by the Mexicans and sold in the markets at Alamos. March 25 to
April 8. No. 853.
Dalea Parryi Torr. and Gray. A loose growing plant about 3 feet high. Common on
hillsides about Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 739.
Brongniartia podalyrioides H. B. K. A shrub 8 to 10 feet high, 3 to 4 inches in
diameter : leaflets 5 to 7 pairs. Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 658.
It differs from B. galegoides^ which it resembles somewhat in the flowers being
axillary not racemose; the leaflets larger, with cuneate base.
Uf Hosackia is to be referred to Lotus as advocated by Mr. E. L. Greene, Pitt,
n. 133, this should be L. Alamosanua.

CourBetia glandulosa Gray. A large scraggy bush with several stems. The stems
are often covered with a thick coating of gum. Dr. Palmer says it has great
medical value. The gum dissolved in water with sugar is used as a drink in
cases of colds and fevers, and as a remedy for consumption it is highly extolled.
It is sold in the drug stores at a dollar per pound, under the name of*' Guma So-
nora.-' The plant is known as ''Samo prieto." It grows at the base of the
mount>aius m the gulleys. Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 333.
'Willardia, n. gen. Calyx trnncate with small equal teeth. Petals equal ; vexillum
orbicular spreading; wings falcate-oblong; keel slightly incurved. Vexillary
stamen connate into a tube with the others except at base; anthers uniform.
Ovary sub-sessile with several ovules ; style incurved, glabrous or with a few
hairs at base ; stigma capitate, minute. Legume linear-oblong, strongly com-
pressed, continuous within : seeds reniform, strongly compressed. A small tree:
leaves imparipinnate ; leaflets definite, entire, exstipellate. Stipules obsolete.
Racemes axillary. Flowers "lilac."
This plant was first named and described as a CourBetia by Dr. Watson, to
which genus it is closely related. The type specimens, however, were only in
fruit and it was doubtfully referred as above. The colleotion by Dr. Palmer of
an abundance of flowers shows a still greater divergence and demands the estab-
lishment of a new genus.
It differs from Coureetia especially in its truncate calyx and glabrous style.
Its position, however (according to Dr. P. Taubert*), seems nearest Lennea, from
which it differs in its styfe and more membranaceous pod.
It resembles Sahinea in its calyx but differs in having racemes of flowers, and
also from this as well as all the other BohiniecB except the above two, in its con-
nate stamens.
At the request of Dr. Edward Palmer I have named this genus for his old
and valued friend, Hon. Alexander Willard, who for twenty-five years has rep-
resented our Government as consul at Guaymas, and has aided Dr. Palmer with
his various collections from this region.
> I am under many obligations to Dr. P. Taubert, of Berlin, who is preparing and
will soon issue the Leguminosss in Die Natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien, for confirming
my observationB and adding new information.

April 8. No. 347. W^have not seen a descriptfbn of this plant, but it corresponds
with Bourgeau's plant referred here by Hemsley.
Rhynchoaia precatoria DC. (T) This plant seems to belong to this species and to
be different from B. phaseoloideSj to which it is often referred by authors. The
latter species can be distinguished by its glabrous shining pods and large flowers.
Several very similar forms have been referred to B, phaseoloidea by Mr. Watson,
and while the two, as represented in the National Museum, seem distinct, a
fuller representation may show they are the same species. Along a river bank
near Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 378.
ErioBema grandiflomm Seem. About 1 foot high. Only a single plant seen. At
the base of the Alamos Mountain. March 26 to April 8. No. 360.
NisBolia Schottii Gray. A climbing shrub, glabrous, leaves alternate; leaflets 5,
thin, oblong to obovate (6 to 10 lines long), obtuse with appendiculate tip : flowers
axillary, 2 to 5 (T) in a cluster : fruit 10 lines long, 1 to 2-seeded. This shrub was
found climbing over fences, etc., about Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 638.
Piscidia mollis, n. sp. Apparently a second species of this genus. A tree 15 to 25 feet
high, a foot in diameter : leaves 11 to 13 pinnate ; leaflets elliptical or broad
lanceolate, acute, hoary, veins prominent beneath, indistinct above : fruit 4-
winged, 2 somewhat abortive. — Common on ridges and plains about Alamos
March 26 to April 8. No. 355. Called " palo bianco," from the excessively white
appearance of the tree.
Parkinaonia aculeata L. Called " Guacoporo.'' A shrub 10 to 15 feet high. Com-
mon along river banks, ravines, etc. Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 375.
Casaia Tora L. One of the commonest plants of the legion and found everywhere
in waste places, especially in sandy soil. Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 738.
Caaaia biflora L. One to one and a half feet high. Grows on wooded hills about
Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 393. September 16 to 30. Letter B.
Casaia emarginata L. A small tree 10 to 15 feet high, with a very large top. The
abundance of orange-colored flowers makes it an attractive tree. This is the
same as Palmer's No. 210, Chihuahua, 1885. Near Alamos. March 26 to April
8. No. 299.
^ All the flowers were more or less infested by a little encysted insect which Mr. L.
O. Howard has described as a new genus Tanaostigma. For a description and an
interesting account of this insect see Insect Life, vol. ii.

Mimosa (Leptostachyae) Palmeri, n. sp. Large, bushy shrub, 8 to 10 feet high,
thomless or with a few infra-stipular spines; the younger branches fuscous-
pubescent: loaves large, with setaceous stipules; rhachis 4 to 8 inches long,
deeply grooved; pinnae with small stipels, 6 to 16 pairs, oblong-oblique l^to2i
lines long, appressed pubescent above and below : spikes (2 to 4 inches long)
axillary or racemose, corolla pinkish, its lobes pubescent and spreading: stamens
10 : ovary with reddish-brown pubescence, tipped with a long, slender style. —
This shrub was only found in flower, and these mostly in terminal racemes 6 to 8
inches long. The buds and flowers are pink and very showy and sweet-scented.
Near Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 628. This plant comes nearest to M.
Wrighiii^ but with larger and more open leaves and with different pubescence.
Acaoia pennatula Benth. In these specimens the peduncles are very short (3 to
6 lines long), while those of Pringle from Jalisco (1889), referred here by Mr.
Watson, have peduncles sometimes 1\ inches long. No fruit accompanies these
specimens. Commonly called ''Algaroba.'^ It is a small tree with a very broad
top. The flowers are very numerous, orange-colored, and very fragrant.
Acacia malacophylla Benth. var. microphylla Watson. Our plant seems to be fhe
same as Pringle^s Sonoran specimens collected in 1884. We have not seen Mr.
Watson's description of this variety. Dr. Palmer says it is a small tree resem-
bling the mesquit. It is nearly exterminated ; about settlements it is much used
for ftiel. Near Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 315.
Acacia (f ) sp. A large bushy shrub with several stems, 8 to 10 feet high, with a
large top, somewhat thorny : pinnae 4 to 8 pairs ; leaflets 8 to 10 pairs, oblong, 2
to 3 lines long : heads on peduncles \ inch long : pods with 6 to 10 deep constric-
tions, margin thick and breaking away from the valves. Alamos. September 16
to 30. No. 627. This shrub is probably of this genus, but as it is only in fruit
its generic position ts doubtful. The pods seem to ally it with A, constricta,
Leucaena lanceolata Watson., Proc. Amer. Acad. xxi. 427. A large bushy shrub 8
to 10 feet high, glabrous or nearly so throughout : pinnss 4 to 6 pairs with a small
gland between or at the base of the upper pair ; leaflets 3 to 6, glabrate or nearly
so : pods erect, 6 inches long tapering at base into a stipe (6 to 8 lines long) gla-
brous, marked with cross partitions. L, lanceolata was described from flowering
specimens and ours is in f^uit. It seems nearest that species but differs from the
description in most of the above particulars and lacks the large gland on the
petioles. In a cafion near Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 718.
Lyailoma Watsoni, n. sp. A small tree 10 feet high, 3 inches in diameter; branches,
rhachis and leaflets densely cinereous-pubescent : leaves large ; rhachis 5 to 6
inches long ; pinnse 8, 2 to 5 inches long ; leaflets 30 to 45, thick, oblong, 2 to 4
lines long, obtuse, with midrib somewhat excentrio : legumes single or two or
three in a cluster, oblong, 5 to 8 inches long, 10 to 12 lines broad, tapering at
base into a stipe, 6 to 12 lines long and abruptly narrowing into a spiny tip 6
lines long ; the exocarp first breaks away from the persistent margin : seeds ob-
long-oval, 4| lines long, brownish with a darker elliptical mark on each side. Ala-
mos. September 16 to 30. No. 664. — Dr. Palmer says this tree has a symmetrical
top. It was only seen in fruit. With this species I am inclined to refer Palmer's No.
88 (1886) from Barancaof the State of Jalisco referred to ^^Lysiloma (t) sp." by Mr.
Watson in Proc. Amer. Acad. xxii. 410. Palmer's No. 88 is simply in flower and
the leaflets, immature, are smaller and described as glabrous. Even in fruiting
specimens there is considerable difference in the size of the leaflets. The pubes-
cence is developed by age. No. 88, which appears to be glabrous even under
an ordinary lens, shows under the high power the nascent pubescence. The
stipules are wanting in my specimens, and the tips of the leaflets are a little dif-
ferent from Mr. Watson's specimeu but in other respects it seems to be the same.
This well-marked new species belongs to Mr. Bentham's second section of this
genus. It may well bear the name of Mr. Watson, who has characterized but
not named the species.

Lysiloma Acaptdcensls Benth., var. breviapicata, d. yar. A large tree, 30 to 40
feet high, 1 foot or more io diameter : spikes very short, 6 to 10 lines long.— Oar
specimens are without frnit but seem to differ from this species only in the very
short spikes of flowers. Near Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 317. Palmer's
plant from Jalisco (1885) is a shrub only 12 feet high. Pringle (1889) has col-
lected the species in fruit from the same region. The trees are fast disappearing.
Dr. Palmer says it resembles the Mesqnit and is a good durable wood and makes
a fine shade tree. Called ** Tepehuaje."
Pithecolobium Mezicanumi n. sp. Small tree, 15 to 20 feet high, 1 foot in diame-
ter : leaves with straight stipular spines (sometimes wanting) 1 line long ; pinnte
2 to 5 pairs; leaflets 5 to 10 pairs, oblong, 2 to 4 lines long, midribs a little ec-
centric, pubernlent, as is also the rhachis and branches : inflorescence panicnlate ;
flowers in heads, pedicellate ; pedicels 1 to 2 lines long : calyx | line long : corolla
li lines long; the petals spreading or reflexed : stamens long, nnmerous : legumes
oblong, somewhat constricted, 3 to 4 inches long, 1 inch broad, straight, its valves
not elastic nor revolnte : seeds 2, oval, 2 to 4 lines long.— In the Alamos Mountain.
• March 26 to April 8. No. 297. Seeming nearest P. albican» Benth., but peculiar
in its pedicelled flowers. Commonly called ''Chino.'' The tree has much the
habit of the Mesquit and is valuable for its wood ; it is now rarely seen and is fast
becoming exterminated.
Sedum Alamosanum Watson. Proc. Amer. Acad. xxv. 148. This is the type, the
descriptions being drawn from the vegetative plant. The floral characters are

ular with deep sinus and shallow lobes, to ovate with deep lobes and almost
truncate base ; the lobes and apex spiny tipped ; the upper surface white papillose
with short spiny hairs on the veins, below somewhat scabrous; petiole abont the
length of the leaves, spinescent with a cluster of white hairs at the base of the
1 There is still considerable difference of opinion among botanists as to the claims
of this group to generic rank. As held by Cogniaux and other distinguished botan-
ists this should be referred to Echinocystia cirrhopedonctilata. He says, however,
there is reason for either course — '* vous verrez que j'ai 6t6 longtemps ind6cis avant de
r6unir oes deux genres dans ma monographic : on peut donner de bonnes raisons
pour la r6union, et aussi pour la separation." Still others would refer this to
Micrampelia cirrhopedunculata., claiming that Rafinesque's genus should be substi-
tuted for Eckinooy9ii$, See Pitt. ii. 127, etc

Sclerocarpus BpatulatuB, n. sp. Seyeral feet hiffh with widely spreadfng branohes :
leaves alternate, 3 to 5 inoheB long inolading the petioles, eoarsely serrate, a lit-
tle scabroas above, appressed-pubescent below : involncre bracts 3 to 6 lines
long, hirsote : rays yellow: central disk-flowers sterile. — Very common in woods

above, villous-pnbescent beneath: involucre bracts very small (2 lines long) mu-
cronate : chaffy bracts large (6 lines long), glabrous, with mucronate tip reflexed :
rays not seen : disk-corolla 2 lines long; proper tube slender (1 line long), swol-
len at base, abruptly enlarged into the long slightly puberulent throat : style
with bulbous base, hardened in age, attached or deciduous from the akenes :
akenes glabrous, top-shaped, 1^ lines long, without pappus. — Alamos. March
26 to April 8. No. 361. A single plant found half way up the mountain side.
It is called '' Bolallaqui ; " it exudes from the stem a gum which is much valued
by the common people for its healing properties. Although the number of rays
is not known, it clearly belongs to De CandoUe's $ Acanthocaphne, By comparing
the flowers with those of M. grandifiora (Palmer's No. 492 of 1886), I find that
the corolla is shorter and less pubescent and the latter lacks the bulbous style.
if. 8ubtruncata Gray has still shorter corolla (1^ lines long) with a very short
proper tube and a more abrupt throat, but possesses the bulbous base of our plant.
The akenes of M, suhiruncata have a thick margin forming a low crown which
is not possessed by the other two. M, patent has a corolla and akene with crown
similar to M. auhtruncataf but with or without a small bulbous style-base. There
seem to be very good specific characters in the structure of the disk-flowers.
Montanoa (Enocoma), sp. Large, loose shrub, 8 to 10 feet high : leaves 2 to 6 inches
long (including thei inch petiole), lanceolate, with acuminate tip and ouueate

hispid : rays small, yellow : akenes slender, 2 lines long, with awns as long or
longer. — Common along streams and on mountain side about Alamos. September
16 to 30. No. 645.
^igoiera montana, n. sp. Two to three feet high, slender, scabrous : leaves oppo-
site (except some upper bract-like ones), linear-lanceolate, 4 to 5 inches long by 3
to 7 lines broad, acuminate, sessile, 3-nerved, scabrous above, prominently reticu-
lated below : head turbinate, 6 lines long, with bracts closely imbricated in 5 or
6 series : bracts oblong, obtuse, or abruptly mucronate, conspicuously ciliate,
with soft white hairs : rays small, oblong, 5 or 6 : disk-flowers 2 lines long :
akenes 2 to 2^ lines long, villous-pubescent : pappus conspicuous, with two un-
eqaal awns and with several intermediate palese, laciniate, a line long. — Near
the summit of the mountain, under shade of oaks ; at the time of gathering,
almost past blooming. Alamos. March 25 to April 8. No. 340. A peculiar
Vtguiarat differing from all other species we have examined, in its many series
of Imbricating involucre bracts ; in this respect it is most like V. Purisimw, The
stems are slender and purplish and the base has a tuft of wool as in the native
specirs of Perezia, Alamos. March 30 to April 8. No. 340. It resembles V,
hlepharolepUf but the heads are smaller, bracts more numerous and glabrous on

pappus composed of united scales forming a short crown. — Only two plants seen.
Among bushes near a water-coui-se. Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 303. Dr.
Palmer says that at a distance this plant appears to be a beautiful shrub, with
numerous, large, bright-colored flowers. The stem is 4 inches in diameter at
the base and the wood resembles the Elder. This species is very different from
the rest of the genus in its tall shrubby habit.

PeriiyU microglossa Benth, yar. effu$a Gray. Bidwspiloia Oray, non L. Proo.
Amer. Acad. xxi. 432.
Tbi9 plant differs from P. microglosaa in several important particulars beside
those pointed oat in the Syn. Flora. The habit and leaves are different, the rays
white instead of yellow, and the inflorescence differs some. Its relationship
seems to be with P. microcephalaf from which it differs in its pnbescence, somewhat
larger heads, -different disk-corolla, et.c. Palmer's 238 is a coarser plant, more
yillose and with fewer heads, bnt it apparently belongs here. Like the latter
is Palmer's 373, from the mountain cafions about Alamos, where it is very common.
Porophyllum maorocephalum DC. Grows under bashes in cations. It has the
very strong odor of Rhue. Alamos. Bept. 16 to 30. No. 716.
Tagetes Lemmoni Gray. Collected but once before and this by Lemmon in southern
Arizona. Palmer found but a single plant near water^course in the middle of the
mountains of Alamos. It grows about 3 feet high, with a large top. March 26
to April 8. No. 339.
Pectis punctata Jacq. Stems prostrate or ascending. Common on stony ridges.
Alamos. Sept. 16 to 30. No. 730.
Pectis proBtrata Cav. Common near the water in grassy bottoms near Alamos.
Sept. 16 to 30. No. 659.
Hymenathemm anomaltun Canby & Rose, n. sp. Slender annual, 6 to 20 inches
high, with many slender branches, glabrous or nearly so: leaves opposite or
alternate, with 7 to 9 filiform segments bearing large oblong oil glands : involucre
campanulatc ; bracts in 2 series, equal, free, about 2 lines long, acute, broadly
lanceolate, bearing 1 to 5 oblong oil glands: rays conspicuous, about 10, spread-
ing, oblong, 5 lines long, 3- toothed : disk-flower tubular, l\ lines long, with throat
longer than the proper tube and 5- toothed : style-branches elongated, obtuse :
akenes linear-turbinate, slightly pilose: pappus paleaceous, in 2 series: outer
aeries 10 ; pale» spatulate, laciniate-toothed ; inner series 10, 3-aristata, the inner
longer, hiHpid.— Abundant near the base of Alamos Mountain. March 26 to
April 8. No. 346.
This genus combines the characters of several closely related genera but is near-
est Hymenathemmy yet it seems to break down its most distinctive character, viz,
the connate involucre. It seems to belong clearly to the subtribe Tagetineas as
laid down by B. &, H. and only differs in having a double involucre. It differs from
ffymenatherum in having 2 series of bracts and these ft«e, and as defined by B. &
H. in having a conical receptacle and in its 3-toothed ray and merely toothed
disk-flowers and pappus in 2 series. But as stated by Dr. Gray in a later
revision most of these characters break down in certain species. Of the species
of this genus, it resembles most H. Neo-Mexicanumj resembling it in habit and
haying a similar receptacle. It has the free involucral bracts of Jdenophyllum
but with different style-tips, and the pappus is very different from A. coccineum,
the only species left in this genus by Dr. Gray. It has the free bracts and the
bristles at the base of the leaves of Pectis, but with a different style and recep-
tacle.
Explanation of Plats YII.— Plant natand sise; a, ray; 6. corolla; e, style; d, pappui; all

PeresBia montana, n. sp. Three to five feet high, slender, purplish, glabrous:
leaves coriaceous, reticulated, narrowly oblong, 3 to 6 inches long, 9 to 12 lines
broad, with a broad clasping base, spinose-dentate : panicle loose, spreading,
glabrous: involucral scales 3 to 5 series, narrowly oblong, acute, sometimes a little
obtuse, the lower and smaller ones mucronate, glabrous except the puberulent
margin : akenes glabrous, 3 lines long, flattened, delicately ribbed, narrowed at
apex.— Very rarely seen : grows under oaks on the higher parts of the Alamos
Mountain. March 26 to April 8. No. 285. Belonging to the P. rigida group as
arranged by Dr. Gray.

TrijdB obvallata H. &, A. It grows about 2 feet high : the flowers are yellow, with
a strong pine odor. It is commonly called '' Yerba del aira," and is used exten-
sively by the common people in preparing a medicine for colds. Alamos. March
26 to April 8. No. 290. The plant differs from the figare in Beechey's Report in
having entire leaves, but it seems the same as Pringle's No. 2431, referred here by
Mr. Watson. It is certainly very near T. longifolia; Parry and Palmer's No. 1121,
referred here by Mr. Hemsley, is the same as our plant.
Lobelia laziflora H. B. K. Only a few plants found in a deep ravine in a portion of
the Mountain of Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 288.
Heterotoma tenella ' Mart. & Gal. This little plant is very variable ; our speci-
men being either simple, 1 to 2 inches high, 1 to few flowered ; or taller, 10 to 12
inches high, and often branching. It grows in moist spots halfway up the moun-
tain side. Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 289. Here belong also Bourgeau's
No. 1722, distributed as Lobelia Cliffortianay and also so referred by Hemsley in
Biol. Cent.-Amer. ii. 266. The Smifhsonian Institute distribute under the same
name a plant from Orizaba, collected by Botteri (No. 1191), which is also this
species : this plant is tall, with long filiform branches. All of these specimens
differ from the original description in being pubernlent below.
Metastelma latifolia, n. sp. High climbing shrub, nearly glabrous : leaves oblong
to lanceolate, roundish at base, obtuse with abrupt appendiculation, an inch long,
shortly pedunculate, margin and midrib pubescent (especially above) : ombel
short- pt3duncled, 3 to 7-flowered : pedicels \\ lines long : flowers very small, leas
than 1 line long : calyx lobes short, acute : corolla white, the oblong, obtuse
lobes densely pubernlent on their inner margins: column very short if any : lobes
of the crown about equal the stigma. — Climbing over the tops of bushes, it
forms a compact mass of sweet-scented flowers. Alamos. September 16 to 30.
No. 666. According to the recent Revision of Dr. Gray (Proc, Amer. Acad, xxi.)
it comes in the sub-section containing M, Pringlei; but the foliage is different.
Buddleia Terticillata H. B. K. A large bushy plant, early glabrate, 5 to 6 feet high,
with woody stems and rough bark : lower leaves ovate, 10 inches long and ser-
rate; upper leaves lanceolate with cuneate base, entire: heads on pedunolee
4 to 8 lines long : flowers yellowish with ''houey-like odor." Common on good
soil everywhere about Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 279.
Er3rthrsea Madrenaia Hemsl. Biol. Cent.-Amer. ii. 346. Collected on the top of
Alamos Mountain. March 26 to April 8. No. 405. Seemann's plant is the only one
referred here, but it seems to me that Parry and Palmer's No. 567 (oollectod in
1878) should also be referred here.
The variety (No. 2597) in Mr. Pringle's collection is lower and more spreading,
and with more twisted anthers.

Cordia (Sebeatenoidea) Sonorse, n. sp. A small tree 10 to 20 feet high, 6 inchea
in diameter; younger parts puberulent: leaves elliptical, 2 to 4 inches long,
obtuse, entire, a little scabrous above : racemes short and dense : calyx cylindri-
cal, 5 to 6 lines long : corolla white, 15 lines in diameter : stamens 5 to 7,
exserted. — A common tree in low places and on hillsides. About Alamos. Sep-
tember 16 to 30. No. 376.
Called Palo-de- Asta, and is one of the most beautiful of flowering trees ; the
whole tree is covered with large clusters of white flowers (becoming lavender by
age), a short distance away entirely hiding from view the large shining leaves.
The tree has a symmetrical top and is well worthy of cultivation.

Krynitskia micromerea Gray. This plant is very common on sandy bottoms.
Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 397.
Ipomoea murucoideB Rccm. & Schnltz, var. e;labrata Gray. This plant is without
leaves (except very yonng ones), and its appearance is pecnliar; as it is now
apparently for the first time collected in fruit, we append a description. A tree
20 to 30 feet high, 1 foot or more in diameter, with smooth bark and nnmerous
branches: leaves (immature) about 1 inch long, ovate-lanceolate, strongly reticu-
late and pubescent below: racemes terminal, many flowered: calyx as well as
pedicels and young branches pubernlent: sepals oval, obtuse, 5 lines long:
corolla about 2 inches long, white, yellowish below : filaments pubescent at
base: capsule 10 lines long, 2-celled, 4- valve, 4-seeded: seeds 5 lines in length,
oblong, with a long coma upon the sides. The tree is called *' Palo santo,'' and
is very abundant about Alamos. No. 316.
The wood is of no commercial value. The Mexicans use the ashes for soap-
making. Dr. Palmer says : ** But one flower of a raceme opens at a time, and tlic
large tree, devoid of foliage, and with only 3 or 4 large flowers, presents a pecu-
liar appearance ". The flowers of our plant are similar to Gray's type (Palmer's
No. 703, of 1886), and Pringlo's No. 2443 (of 1889), from near the same locality,
but the sepals are shorter and obtuse and not glabrate. The sepals resemble
Hemsley's figure of the species, which is probably Gray's form. According to
dates on the title pages, it appears that H. B. K.'s specific name macrantha is older
by one year than Room, and Schnltz, and if the oldest specific name is used,
Don's combination should be taken up. Convolvulus macranthua H. B. K. Gen.
et Spec., iii. 95; Ipomoea murucoides Roem. & Schnltz, iv. 248; Ipomcca macrantha

Ipomosa bracteata Cav. This is a climbing plant and without leaves, but with long
racemes of flowers with large purple bracts. It is called ^' Zicana." It has large
tubers, like sweet potatoes, which are eaten raw by the Mexicans. Alamos.
March 30 to April 8. No. 313.
Ipomcoa Orayi, n. sp. High climbing, glabrous or nearly so: leaves orbicular
to broadly ovate, 1| to 3 inches long, truncate or somewhat cordate at base, on
peduncles 2 to 5 inches long : peduncles variable, 1^ to 3 lines long, 1 to several-
flowered: pedicels 1| to2| inches long, somewhat thickened in fruit: sepals 3
to 4 lines long, broad and obtuse: corolla purple, 3 inches broad : stamens short,
included; capsule glabrous, ovate, 7 to 8 lines long, 4-valved, 2-celled, 4-seeded :
seeds 3i lines long, densely pubernlent. — Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. 710.
Also collected by Dr. Palmer in SW. Chihuahua (18a5). No. 102. This is a
profuse bloomer and a vigorous plant, climbing over fences, walls, and the high-
est trees.

Solanum Fendlerl Van Huck. and Milll. About 3 feet high. Only a single plant
found and this in poor condition. At the base of Alamos Mountain, March 25 to
April 8. No. 364. This approaches nearest Fendler's No. 254, ftrom Panama, of
any specimen seen in Gray or National Herbarium, but the pubescence is redder,
stems somewhat thorny, and racemes shorter.
Both these plants are merely tentatively referred as above as better material
may place them quite differently.
Solanmn (Androcera) Orayi, n. sp. A slender annual, 1 to 2 feet high, stems more or
less thorny : leaves pinnately parted with ovate to oblong segments irregularly

It differs conspicuously from 8. elwagnifolium in its slender, curved and dissimi-
lar stamens, and in its erect, fruiting pedicels : In the sterile flowers the calyx
is naked and three of the anthers much longer (6 lines long) ; in the fertile and
lower flowers the calyx is armed with prickles and the anthers nearly equal, or
often longer. Near Alamos. March 26 to April 8. No. 314.
Solanum ▼erbaacifoliom L. This is a shrub 4 to 5 feet high ; its fruit is " orange-
colored." Common along river banks among bushes. Alamos. March 26 to

flowering tree with its large Paulownia-like flowers, which Dr. Palmer describes as
light-mauve at base, with white and yellow patches; tbey quickly fade. Only
a few flowers were found at the ends of the naked branches. Two leaves, each
with 4 leaflets, were found on the tree and Dr. Palmer says the new ones had not
begun to appear; there was an abundance of long black pods. The trunk of the
tree is covered with a thick, rough bark, resembling the oak ; the wood is hard
. and durable and is generally used for rafters in the construction of houses in this
region. That this is a Tabehuia, as considered by Benth. and Hook., there can
be very little doubt, although the inflorescence is a little more compact than the
known species of this gttnus. It is a little surprising that such a handsome tree
of some economic value has until now remained unknown.

403; also in September. Letter A. The natives speak* of it as "Palo de la
flechaqne de los semas brinca doras"— "the arrow-wood which produces the
jumping beans.'' The generic position of the plant in which Carpocapsa is
found has long puzzled the botanist and entomologist. This is partly due to
the fact that the fruit which is stung (and this is the kind that is generally col-
lected) appears very different from those developed naturally. While this is
evidently a new species, still some uncertainty exists as to its position. Ita
relationship is doubtless with Sebastianiaf but it has close affinities with both
Oymnanthus and Botiania; in habit it seems closer to the latter than to either the
other two, however its minute or obsolete calyx seems to be sufficient to keep
it out of that genus. It has the rudimentary calyx and connate stamens of
Gymnanthus, but has dehiscent and contorted carpels which are thin walled;
car[iophore wanting; leaves serrate: all of which is at variance with this
genus, but corresponds with Bonania. Dr. Palmer says the boys gather these
beans, for which they find a ready market at Alamos. None of the beans which
had been stung were obtained, as they had all been carefully gathered before
Dr. Pailmer's visit and none of the so-called "jumpers'' could be obtained at
Alamos at this time. The plant produces an abundance of milk, which is
said to be used by the Indians for poisoning their arrows. The milk readily
crystallizes into a clear, rather brittle substance, and is a violent cathartic
The wood is very hard.
Ficus, sp. A large tree with many wide-spreading branches, 2 feet in diameter, with
thick, corky bark : leaves alternate, oblong-lanceolate, acute at both ends, 4 t-o.

diameter on a very short pedicel (2 lines long). Near Alamos. March 26 to April

Tradescantia Palmerl, n. sp. Stems erect, 6 to 9 inches high, glabrous, or with a
pubescent line : leaves lanceolate, 1 to 2^ inches long, glabrous except the ciliate
margin (and sheath), sessile, acute : umbels pedunculate (1 to 2 inches long), 4 to
9-£lowered: pedicels 3 to 5 lines long: sepals oval, 1^ lines long: petals white,
1^ lines long: stamens 6 ; filaments naked, the 3 longer with dilated filaments;
the 3 shorter almost sessile: style short: cells 3, each with 2 ovules: seeds 3,
triangular, 3-lobed, the margins revolute. — Found in moist shady places among
rocks near Alamos. September 16 to 30. No. T37.
It differs from most species of Tradescantia in its one-seeded cells; the ovules
however are two, the lower being abortive. The filaments differ considerably in
length, but the anthers are but slightly different. It is perhaps nearest the T.
ampUxieaulia and yet I am not certain this is the proper section. It resembles
T. iHsgrega very much in habit.
Mr. Watson has^nggested a relationship with T. genioulata from which species
it differs in having the lower surface of the leaves glabrous (at least not villous) :
unequal stamens, with glabrous filaments : seeds of different shape, glabrous and
alveolate.
IieptorhrcBO tennifolia, n. sp. Slender annual, erect or a little spreading and root-
ing at the Joints, glabrous or pubescent in lines: leaves linear, 1 to 1| inches
long, 1 to 2 lines broad, glabrous except a little pubescence at base : peduncles
from the axils of the leaves, mostly in clusters of 3 or 4, 9 to 12 lines long : flow-
ers in nmbellets of 2 to 4, sometimes solitary, glabrous: sepals 1 line long:
petals, 1 line long, blue : stamens 6, of two lengths : capsule 3-celled, 3-seeded.
— It grows in shade along water-courses at Alamos. Sept. 16 to 30. No. 744.
This makes the second species for this genus and confirms the wisdom of sep-
arating it from Tradescantia^ to which it is closely related and with which the
type species had for nearly forty years been associated. It differs from Trades-
eantia chiefly in having but 1 ovule in each cell, and in the shape of the seeds
and the central position of the hilum. It seems to be closely related to L.fiUformis
of Southern Mexico, but appears quite distinct, differing especially in its more
erect habit, narrower and longer leaves, glabrous pedicels and calyx, and in the
inflorescence.

with a somewhat elevated umbo which is especially strong toward the base:
seeds 6 to 7 lines long. Collected near the summit of Alamos Mountain. March
26 to April 8. No. 374.
The seeds of this species are described as being an inch long, and the trees are said
to be 40 feet high. As is generally known, Dr. Engelmann found in his study of
the leaves of pines that the resin ducts might occupy one of three positions in
the parenchyma, viz, internal, parenchymatous, or peripheral. In this species
the ducts are peculiar and can not be assigned to any of the gronp. On each
aide of the leaf are two ducta which with the surrounding strengthening cells
completely separate the parenchyma tissue into distinct regions; the ducts ex-
tend from the fibro-vascnlar bundle to the epidermis or its underlying strenghten-
ing cells. These ducts have the paradoxical position of being both peripheral
and internal. Dr. Engelmann in his arrangement places this species in the sec-
tion with internal ducts, but says he occasionally found parenchymatous ones.
We have not seen his specimens, but Palmer's plant of 18% referred here by Mr.
Watson has similar ducts. Dr. Palmer says there were many young plants which
would be especially fine for cultivation.

LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY DR. E. PALMER IN ARIZONA
IN 1890.
By J. N. Rose.
Dr. Palmer, after bavin^ made large aud valuable collectioDS in Lower
California aud Mexico iu tbe early moutbs of tbe year, visited Arizona
during tbe latter part of April, remaining tbere tbrougb May and June
and a part of July. He made collections at Gamp Huacbuca, Willow
Springs, and Fort Apacbe. A small collection made in 1889 at Camp
Huacbuca wbicb Dr. Palmer purcbased is included in tbis report; tbese
plants are designated by letters-only.
Camp Huacbuca is about 15 miles from tbe Mexican border at tbe
base of tbe Huacbuca Mountains, in tbe extreme soutbeastern part of
Arizona. Its elevation is 5,100 feet above sea level. Tbe mountains
are rougb and rocky. Tbe soil is of decomposed granite. Dr. Palmer
was bere from April 26 to May 21, and collected about one bundred
species. Tbe season was unfavorable for bis work as no rain bad fallen
for seven montbs and tbe mountains and valleys were dry and barren,
and tbe only plants found in proper condition for collectiug were in tbe
gardens and in two moist canons. Tbe plants of tbis collection are
numbered from 416 to 478; unfortunately tbe numbers 450 to 459 were
repeated, bence tbe latter are designated by tbe letter a in addition.
Tbe only otber important collection ^ made at tbis place is tbat of Mr.
J. G. Lemmon and wife in 1882, a very large aud valuable one, of wbicb
over fifty species were new.
Willow Springs is in tbe Wbite Mountains near tbe pass leading to
Fort Apacbe, at an altitude* of 7,600 feet. It is 75 miles soutb of Hol-
brook on tbe Atlantic and Pacific Bailroad and is reacbed only by stage.
Tbe mountains bere are covered witb oaks and pines, and tbe two large
meadows from wbicb tbis collection was largely made, kept damp by tbe
springs, were covered witb vegetation. Dr. Palmer remained bere from
June 10 to 25; tbe nigbts at tbis season are very cool, often tbin ice is
' Mr. Lemmon writes me that Dr. Palmer visited this place once before ; as it was
daring the dry season nothing of importance was obtained*
*Dr. Rothrook gives the altitadeof the pass 7,400 feet and of Willow Springs 7,195.

formed. At this time he collected the plants Dumbercd 479 to 574 ; on his
return from Fort Apache he remained two days, July 5 and 6, collecting
numbers 613 to 626.
Dr. Eothrock, in Wheeler's Eeport, vol. vi., has forty eight species
from this place ; most of these were recollected.
Fort Apache, upon the east fork of Salt River, in the Indian reserva-
tion of the valley of the White Mountains, has an altitude of 6,200 feet.'
It is only reached after one hundred miles of rough mountain staging.
The mountain here also is covered with oaks and pines, but the valley
is dry, having little or no vegetation. Salt River supplies water for the
fort and for irrigating the gardens and the farms of the Indians. The
temperature is 10^ warmer than at Willow Springs. Dr. Palmer was at
Fort Apache from June 21 to 30, collecting plants numbered 575 to 613.
Dr. J. J. Rothrock made a small collection here in 1874. (Wheeler's
Report, vi.)
Clematis Palmeri, n. Bp. A peculiar form which we have not been able to place. It
seems Dearest C. filifera Benth. of Mexico. The leaves very thin and delicately

It differs only in its more narrow leaflets and stipules.
In the type (Palmer's specimen) the stipules are described as linear, the flowers
solitary on pedicels (peduncles), 3 to 6 lines long. In the only other collection
of this form (Pringle's, 1887) I And some of the stipules almost subhastate, and
some of the peduncles an inch or more long, with 2 flowers. I should state here
that I have not yet seen any specimens of this form with 6 leaflets.

Hymenopappus radiata, n. sp. Perennial from a long slender root, li feet high,
branching at base floccose-tomentose becoming somewhat glabrate above : leaves
mostly radical, 1 to 2 pinnate into narrow linear segments: heads corymbose on
peduncles 1 to 2 inches long: involucre bracts broad, little or not at all pet-
aloid : rays about 5, white, 6 to 7 lines long: disk-flowers numerous ; proper tube
short, about i line long; throat swollen, camp anulate, about 1 line long; lobes
short, acute, about one-third the length of throat; anthers but not the lilo-
•ments exserted : akenes 1^ to 2 lines loug, obpyramidal, 4-angled with a delicate
intermediate nerve, glabrous or a little puberulent : pappus of numerous very
short palete. — Common in low rich bottoms under pines and oaks. Willow
Springs. July 5 and 6. No. 615.
This species differs from all other species of Hymenopappus in the presence of
ray-flowers, but in other respects corresponds with this genus. Its habit is per-
haps more like H, filifolius , but the akenes and pappus are more like H, fiavesceas.
Although it seems undoubtedly a Hymenopappus^ yet in all its external appear-
ances, including the rays, it resembles Leucampyx ; the disk-flowers, akenes, and
pappus are also similar. It has been a puzzle to me to separate this species
clearly from L. Neicherryiy and it is questionable whether they ought not te go
together and be placed under Hymenopappus, The following are the slight dif-
ferences I note between the two : In H, radiata the pappus is not so deciduous,
the proper corolla tube is shorter, and the style- branches a little thicker and not
so papillose. The absence of the bracts on the receptacle seems to be the only
reliable character separating the two genera.

long, distinct, sessile : capsule obtusish, about the length of calyx. Grows in
swamps. Willow Springs. June 10 to 20. No. 342.
According to Dr. Gray's Revision in Botanical Gazette this form would go into
his second section which contains only D. frigidumj as the stamens are distinct and
almost sessile, but it can hardly be his variety deniatum as the leaves are of a
different shape, entire, and flowers purple. It resembles inhabit the Rocky Moun-
tain variety alpina which has been variously referred. But it is not the variety
alpina recently described by Mr. Greene, Pitt. ii. 12, as D. pauciflara as this has
a stamineal tube nearly as long as the anthers. In the recent arrangement of Mrs.
Brandegee, Zoe i. 20, this would answer best in her variety Jeffreyij but as it is
here defined, I do not think it includes all the forms placed under it by Dr. Gray.
It most resembles a specimen of Cusick's collected in 1884 and distributed as D.

LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY DR. EDWARD PALMER IN
1890 ON CARMEN ISLAND/
By J. N. Rose.
This island is situated in the lower part of the Gulf of California, two-
thirds of the way down tlie Lower California coast, almost in sight of
land. It is 120 miles south of Guaynias. It is made up mostly of low
mountains, or hills, which in the north are only about 200 feet high, but
in the south rise from 800 to 1,000 feet, and are cut by many deep canons.
The surface is rocky, with very poor or no soil. No trees are found here;
a few shrubs, sometimes 15 feet high, give the prominent floral features
to the island. On the west side is a great salt bed covering about 640
acres to a depth of 12 feet, estimated to contain about 13,000,000 tons
of a very fine quality of salt. This island is owned and controlled by a
gentleman at La Paz, and a large quantity of the salt is shipped both to
Guaymas and San Francisco, and, when the salt is ground, sells as the
very best quality for table use. The source' of this vast salt deposit is
said to come from the surrounding hills and mountains. All the creeks
and canons open into this lake and, from experiments made, their waters
are found to be charged with chloride of sodium. After the rains have
ce^ised, in about fifteen days, the water evaporates and the work of ex-
cavation can go on. The only botanist or collector, so far as I know,
who has visited this island is Dr. Edward Palmer. He has made two
visits and has very thoroughly collected the plants of the island. His
first visit was January 1 and 2, 1870. I have not been able to learn the
number of species collected, yet it was not large. No report was pub-
lished on the plants, although most of them were then new species. One
or more of them have been identified from time to time as belonging to
new species and published as part of the type. Most of the others have
been collected elsewhere by Mr. Brandegee or by Dr. Palmer himself, and
published as new, without having seen the Carmen Island forms. Dr.
Pahner made a second visit last November and ^-emained a week (No-
' Read before Section F, of the A. A. A. S. August 22, 1891.
2 In Bulletin No. 84 of the LT. S. Hydrographic Ottiee (p. 28) it is stated, however,
that although the lake is separated from the ocean by a strip of beaoh.a tpiarter of a
mile wide, over which the sea never flows, yet the water rises and falls with the tide.

vcmber 1-7, 1800). He visited all parfc^ of the island and brought back
a small but interesting collection. The flora is almost identical with
that of the i)eniusula. Of this collection 40 species are known to be
conuiiou to the peninsula and island ; others will doubtless be found; 29
species are also common to Mexico, and 25 to the United States; of the
latter, 0 are grasses; 10 of the species were collected by Dr. Palmer at
La Paz in 1800; 7 species are, so fai* as known, local, 5 of which are
here for the first time describetl. The island was so thoroughly explored
that probably very few si^ecies will be added to the list, and a few details
will not be out of place. The number of genera represented on the
island is (U), and of species, 08. Of the species 21 are Polyi)etalaB, 24
Gamopetalie, 10 Apetahie, and 13 Monocotyledons. Of these, more
than one-half (37) belong to 4 families, viz: Leguminosse 7; Com-
posita^ 12; Euphorbiaceaj 6; and Graminae 12; one family belongs to
ejich of the four groui)S mentioned above; and over one-third (24) be-
long to two families, viz: Comi)osit« and Gramin«. Orchidaceae and
Filices, the third and fourth largest families of Mexico, are not repre-
sented on the island.
Drymaria diffusa Rose, ii. sp. Stems slender, much branched from a perennial base,
souiewliat glandular-pubescent throughout : leaves thin, broadly ovate to deltoid,
2 to i inches long (on petioles somewhat longer), truncate at base, acute or
slightly acuminate at apex: inflorescence few-flowered cymes: pedicels fiUfonn,
5 to 8 lines long: sepals equal, 1 to 1| lines long,- thin, oblong, acutish, delicately
1-nerved, scarious margin : petals twice as long as the sepals, 2-parted to the
middle into oblong or spatulate segments: stamens 5, unequal, shorter than the
petals : capsule globose, 1^ lines long, short stipitate, about 10-ovuled, 3-se6ded. —
Grows on the shady side of a cafion in roundish bunches. No. 819.
This is I), glandulosa Wat^son, Proc. Ainer. Acad. xvii. 328, in part. Onr plant
differs from this species in its leaves not being so broad, and in having long petalA :
lower stipules wanting or deciduous, not lacerate: sepals smaller and not so
strongly nerved.
Collected by Palmer in 1870 (No. 4) and distributed as D. ramossisima.

This species differs from D. virgatus in its shrubby habit, lower leaves, larger
and more numerous pods, etc. The marking on the side of the seed referred
to by Mr. Brandegee in his notes of this species seems to be a generic character,
and as it also varies in shape and size in different species it may be of some use in
identifioation. In D. virgatus, although the seed is not half as large as in the
above species, the marking is much larger.

The plant is called "Sandia de la Passion." The flowers bloom early in the
morning and last but a part of the day ; the ripe fruit, which has a sweetish taste,
is much relished by the children of the island.
This species seems nearest P. fatidaf some forms of which have very similar
foliage, but differs in its larger flowers, smaller crown, longer stammeal tube, and
the peculiar tip of the sepal.

LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY THE U. S. S. ALBATROSS IN
1887-'91 ALONG THE WESTERN COAST OF AMERICA.
The Division of Botany has from time to time reiwrted upon collec-
tions made by the AlbatrosH in its various cruises alon;:^ the American
coa8t and among the islands of the Pacific. The collectious here enu-
merated were made at various times, extending jus far back as 1887. The
first amd second jiarts are rei>orts by Mr. J. N. Itose on collections nnule
by Prof. Alexander Agassiz* on Cocos and the Galapagos islands; the
third part is a list of ferns from southern Patagonia, which have been
determined by Prof. Daniel 0. Eaton, of Yale College; the fourth part
is a report on the mosses from Fuegia and Patagonia, also by Prof.
Eaton, giving notes, syncmymy, and bibliography, besides the descrip-
tion of a new species; the fifth part is a list of Liverworts from south-
ern Patagonia, by Mr. A. W. Evans, with descaiptions and illustrations
of two new species; the sixth iiart contains a short list of the lichens
from southern Patagonia by J. W. Eckfeldt, of Philsidelphia.
All the material upon which these reports are based has been
mounted and preserved in the National Herbarium.
1. L.IST OF PL.ANT8 FROM COCOS ISLAND.
By J. N. Rose.
The few plants here enumerated were gotten by Mr. Alexander
Agassiz in 1891, who seems to have spent but a single day (February
28) on this island.
This island lies southwest of Panama about 500 miles, in latitude 5^
35' and longitude 87o.
Ipomcsa pes-caprae 8wet«t.
ZSpidendrum sp. Tbe^o specimens have neither flower nor fruit.
Paspalum vaginatum Swartz.
Polypodiuxn sp. Three different species were obtained.
Nephrodium pectinatum Presl. 1 have not seen specimens of this species, and it
IB donbtftilly referred here.
Meteomin patens^ Dozy and Molkenboer. ''This seemH to be M. patens of Dozy
and Molkenboer. jud«;ing by their figure; but it is not the same as the Wilkes
expedition specimen nor C. Wright's from Cuba. These have a shorter, rounde<\,
and flatter leaf. M. aureum^ from Java, is a good deal like the Cocos Island
specimen." — D. C. E.

2. lilST OP PliANTS FROM GAIiAPAGOS ISIiANDS.
By J. N. RosK.
These islands are ten in number, situated on the equator, and are 300
to 600 miles from the mainland of South America.
Two large collections have been made from these islands; Firsts that
of Charles Darwin in 1835, who obtained about 200 species; and second,
that of N. J. Andersson in 1851.
David Douglass, with Dr. Scouler, also spent several days on these
islands in 1825. Of the 150 si>ecies obtained by Douglass only 50 were
saved, and these in very poor condition. Hugh Cummings made a small
collection in 1829. Mr. Macrae also made a large collection, and Mr.
Edmonstone, in 1845, collected largely here. Admiral Du Petit-
Thouars obtained a few species. In 1845 Sir Joseph Hooker pub-
lished the first enumeration of the plants of these islands. He reports
upon 265 species, of which 253 are phanerogams and ferns, and of this
number 123 are described as now. In 1861 N. J. Andersson published
the second enumeration, being a report uj>on his collection (made in
1852) and including all the previous collections. He enumemtes 392
species, of which 372 are phanerogams and ferns, and of these 72 are
described as new.
MALVACE22.
QoBBypium purpurascens Poir. (f) Duncan Island, April 2. Tbis is prob-
ably the same plant that both Hooker and Andersson referred to the above
species. It is certainly near G, Barhadense L., but the leaves are more strongly
black-dotted than in any of the species in the National Herbarium. The flow-
ers appear to be yellow.

TribuluB maximuB L. Duncan Island. April 2.
I am not able to separate this from the many forms of this 8x>ecie8. I suppose
it is the same as the variety adBcendeas of Andersson, who obtained it from
both Charles and Chatham islands.
TribuluB servicenB Ands., var. humifusus Ands. Leaflets 7 pairs: petals 5 lines
long: carpels 5, one Jibortive. — Charles Island. April 1.
Also obtained here by Andersson. Only two small specimens were obtained,
but these have both flower and fruit. The original description contains no ref-
erence to the flowers and their size is given above. The flowers are considerably
larger than T. terrestrU, to which it is nearly related.
GERAKIACE2I.
Ozalia (HedyBarioideae) AgaBBizi Rose, n. sp. Annual, erect, simple or branched,
glabrate ; the younger part« hairy, 6 to 12 inches high : leaves on petioles 1 to I|
inches long; leaflets 3, the odd one distinct, the lateral on short petiolules,
broadly obovate, 6 to 9 linos long, 5 to 8 lines broad ; surface finely reticulat«<l
resembling a minute honeycomb : peduncle about the length or longer than the
loaves : flowers few, yellow : ovary oblong, obtuse, 3 lines long. — Duncan Island.
April 2.
Three other species have been found on these islands, viz : O. oamo9a MolinBy O.
Camelli Ands. and 0. Barreliari Jacq., with none of which it agrees. It belongs
to the same section as the last species, but differs in its annual babit^ color of
flowers, eto«

4. lilbT OF MOSSES FROM FUEGIA AND PATAGONIA,
By Daniel C. Eaton.
There are only 10 true mosses in this collection, while not less than
152 species are attributed to Fuegia. It is to be hoped that as Ujjited
States Government vessels pass through the Straits of MageUan some
person may be willing to gratify American bryologists by making large
collections of these interesting plants.

the lurid brown of the original description, but seem to differ in no other respect.
Raoomitrium lanuginosum Bridel. Mayne Harbor, Patagonia; not in fruit.
Ulota fiilvella Mitten. Joum. Linn. Soc. iv. 75. Borja Bay, Straits of Magellan,
growing on Berheris Uicifolia^ in fruit. This is one of four species ( U. fulvtUay
U, eremitensiSf U. glabella, and U. Fueyiana) into which Mr. Mitten divided the
Orthotrichum luteolum of the Flora Antarctica. The pedicels are 3 to 5 times
the length of the capsules, while Mr. Mitten's description makes them only
twice as long, but the leaves agree with his character of *' margined with a
single row of oblong hyaline cells." The inner peristome he was unable to
find. These specimens show it to be composed of eight slender cilia, about half
the length of the outer teeth, each of a single row of cells.
Brynxn ccelophylluin, Eaton n. sp. Plant half an inch high, densely cespitose and
niatte<l with brown branching radicles ; stems slender, mostly simple, not comose-
capitate; leaves consimilar, loosely imbricated when dry, erect -spreading
when moist, broadly roundish-ovate from a wide and scarcely decurrent base,
very concave, obscurely pointed, margins erect or slightly incurved, entire,
nerve rather stout, extending almost to the apex; cells of the leaf rhomboid-
hexagonal, hyaline, those along the margin longer and narrower except near
the base and the apex; flowers and fruit unknown.
Port Churruca, Straits of Magellan. A densely tufted plant with something
the appearance of the specimens of B. nivale collected by the Wilkes exploring
expedition, but the leaves here are shorter, broader, firmer, more concave, and
comparatively pointless. They measure 1.65 to 1.75 mm. in length, and are
nearly as broad, though it is difficult to measure their width, as under a cover-
glass they are forced into several hmgitudiual folds. The average length of
the leaf-cells is 0.05 mm. The color is a dull green, becomiug brownish as the
leaves grow older. B. platyphyllumj as figured by Schwiegrichen (t. 324) has
leaves much like those of this moss, but differs in having the ends of the stems
and branches comose-capitate.
CcBlidium cochlearifolium Jaeg. et Sauerb. Adumbr. ii. p. 383. Hypnum cochleari-

the plant growing on a slender twig, and with long straggling branches like a
Meteorium. The allied species, C auriculatumy though originally discovered in
the Straits of Magellan, is not in this collection. It has more decidedly auricu-
late leaves and a much longer pedicel than the present species.

has separated the American from the New Zealand plant on account of its greater
robustness and its swan-necked pedicel. But some of the New Zealand specimens
are even stouter than the Patagonian, and the curved pedicels are found also in
New Zealand.
Hypnum. fluitans L. Patagonia. Sterile specimen rather denser than the com-
mon forms of this species; possibly Amhlysiegium Fuegianum Mitten.
Hypopterygium Thonini Mont, in Ann. d. sc. Nat. ser. 3, iv. 86. Hypnum Thouini,

Fuegiana, expresses a doubt as to this moss having been found by Couimerson in
Fuegia. In the Flora Antarctica it is stated that Capt. King gathered it at
Port Famine. The present fine specimens amply confirm the southern range of
the 8i»ecies.

This curious specie* is very doubtfully roforred to the genus Lophocoleat ft'om
whose typical species it dift'ers especially in the large, entire ainphiga«tria and
in the extremely short fertile branch with its iovolucral leaves reduced to a
single pair. The sharply curve<l line of inMertion of the leaves (which is similar
fo that found in certain PlagiochilcB) also distinguishes it from most LophocoleeBj
where the leaves are rarely deeply decurrent ventrally. It differs from Chiloncyphns
in the position of the fertile branches and in the winged perianths.

REVISION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF
HOFFMANSEGGIA.
By E. M. Fi.siiKR.
In this paper species of tlie United States and Mexico are inclnded.
Foreign species are omitted except where they extend into this country.
The genus is taken as conunouly defined, no attempt being made except
to present a synoi>tical view of the sj^ecies. Tliis revision is based
upon the material contained in the National Herbarium, in which nearly
all the species are fully represented, and which has been placed in my
hands through the kindness of Dr. George Vasey. I am also indebted
to Dr. Sereno Watson, Dr. John M. Coulter, Dr. William Trelease, Mr.
John Donnell Smith, and Mr. I. C. Martiudale, who have placed at my
disposal the collections which they own or have in charge. I am espe-
cially indebted to Dr. Coulter for his many suggestions and his assfst-
ance at difficult points. The compound microscope wsis used contin-
ually throughout these observations, and is indispensable in testing
many relationships.
Historical sketch. — This genus was established by Cavenilles, and
published in his Icones iv. 63 (1797), as containing two species, H.fal-
carta and H. tri/oliata. Two years later (1799), in Icones v. 1. 1. 402, he
published the genus Pomaridj including one si>ecie^, P. glandulosa,
De Candolle defined the genus Melanosticta and published it in his
Memoires Leguminosiie xii (1835), including one species, M, Burchellii,
Torrey and Gray (Fl. N. A. i. 392) united them all without hesitation.
Up to that time (1H40) there were only 3 or 4 species described in North
America. At the present time 15 species and 9 varieties have come
under my observation, of which 2 species and 4 varieties seem to have
been undescribed.
Characters. — The glands furnish the first and most important group
of characters, and in several instances furnish specific distinctions.
They may be thrown into two different divisions: stipitate glands and
black sessile (or subsessile) glands. The forqier belong to Hoffmameg-
gia proper (having petals with long claws) and the old genus Pomaria
(having petals with short claws); while the latter are characteristic of
the old genus Melanosticta, Another group contains both kinds. The
Melanosticta group is further separated into three divisions by the
characters of the glands on the flowers, which is suflicient to clear up

the confdsion concemino: H, Jamesii and H, melanosticta. The claws
of the petals and the style furnish some important characters. The
pod furnishes some of the most important specific distinctions^ but can
not be of prime importance in grouping, for the fruit of a specdes and
its varieties may differ widely.
SYl^OPSIS.
^ 1. Stipitaie-glandular (except No. 4): ovate stipules and ovate attenuate bracts m^mhrO'
naceous; leaflets oblong j nerveless: filaments straight , tcith short and thick hairs.
* Claws of petals long^ densely glandular j that of rexillum thick and usually %roadly di-
lated: filaments and oblong Ofary glandular: style claratCy slightly beaked: pod falcate
and with persistent sepals: herbaceous.
1. H. falcaria Cav. Ic. iv. t. 392 (1797). Sterna procumbent, 2 to 25 cm. high, from a
creeping root (bearing now and tben a tuber), puberulent, sparsely glandulw,
ttcarious at bafie: leaves with 7 to 11 pinnse; leaflete 6 to 10 pairs, pubernlent or
glabrate ; stipules broadly ovate, scarcely acute : peduncle usually short, bear-
ing a raceme of few flowers on suberect i)edicel8: sepals scarcely acut«, 4 to 5
mm. long: petals with inner edge of claw densely glandular as well as back of
vexillum which has a thick dilated claw: outer stamens with copious clavate
glands : pod falcate, 3 to 4 cm. long, with round apex and acute base, on recurved
pedicel, more or less glandular, compressed between the 8 to 12 dark obovate
seeds.
Habitat: From Southern Arizona through Mexico (San Luis Potosi) to Chili and
Patagonia.
Specimens examined: Arizona (Z>mm on, 1881, in part); San Luis Potosi {Schaffner
832, 1876); Argentine Republic (at Cordova, 1829; Pntagonia, Andrews 333); Chili
{Morong 1191 ; Phillip's distribution 1324 ) ; also specimens culti vate<l at the botanical
gardens of Montpellier (1824) and Delile (1821).
This polymorphic species has a wide distribution, and has been heretofore divided
into several species and varieties. The specimens found in the Unit<»d States and
Mexico have been calle^l H. stncta with its var. demisMi, and H. densiflora^ while those
of South America and those cultivated in France have been called H. falcaria. Mr.
Bentham remarks that ''the above species (H. stricta. demissa and densifiora) agree
with H. falcaria in their most important characters," but does not state how they
differ. The only difference yet noticed between the North and South American forms
is that the latter have ovaries with fewer glands and the corolla is oft^'n a deeper yel-
low ; otherwise they agree. Some of the Morong specimens are very low, erect, very
glandular, with rather dense racemes; while others are 45 cm. high, with long loose
racemes. It differs from var. siricia in being procumbent and having the mature
fruit rounded at ainsx, approaching that of U. drepanocarpa in most respects. The
Srhaffner and Lemmon specimens agree with the descriptitm of H. faleariaj but
they agree more with the plants themselves. The following seem to be well marked
varieties:
Var. 8TKICTA. Erect, 10 to 30 cm. high: stipules obtuse, villous on margin: pe-
duncles long, bearing a loose raceme of suberect flowers : sepals obtuse : vexillum
with claw usually more dilated: pod long, obtuse (»r acute, usually on spre^uliug
pedicels; seeds 6 to 9.

short branchlets, its very small leaves, leaflet** and flowers, its vexillum much tuft**d
at base, and its stamens not glandular but much pubescent, with the upi)er prom-

NORTH AMERICAN PHANEROGAMS AND PTERIDOPHYTES,
PUBLISHED IN 1891.*
Compiled by Josephine A. Clark.
The increasing interest which is to-day manifested in systematic bot-
any demands some metliod of indexin^r which will brinp: together in
convenient form the information necessary to a complete history of the
investigations and discoveries which have been made in this line of
research. In the Botanical Division of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture a carefully made card index is kept, in which all new species
and new combinations are recorded. It is thought best to publish
this index which has been found so useful in our work, omitting the
synonoray and making no attempt to pass judgment upon the value of
any species. In other words, it is simply a record of the work ac-
complished during the year in this line, and designed in printed form
to be a convenience to monographers and others in their investigation'*.
To make this list still more useful, in cases of new species, the State
or region of the country in which they are found is given. A double
enumeration of the species is made, viz, systematic and alphabetic.
In the former arrangement Durand's Index Generum Phanerogamorum
has been followed for convenience, this being the arrangement adopted
in the National Herbarium. In the case of the revival of an old generic
name hi place of the one now in use the name will be found under the
genus, as given in Durand's Index ; also when an author has substituted
a new generic name for an old one it will be found under the latter.
Where a genus has been transferred by an author to a diflfei*ent family
from that commonly accepted it will be placed under both families. A
new genus has, inclosed in brackets, the number of the genus it
naturally follows, with the letter a added, the number under which it is
found in the National Herbarium.
The author of the species, place of publication, with volume and page,
and. as stated above, in cases of new species the locality are given.
* It is our purpose to pablish an annual index, and also to complete an index now
in preparation, covering preceding years back to 1885. That future issues of the
index may be as complete as possible, it is desired that authors will send reprints or
reviews to the National Herbarium of such of their publications as may not be
readily accessible. The accompanying carefully prepared systematic and alpha-
betic lists have been made under the immediate direction of my assistant, Mr. J.N,
Bose. — Georgk Vasky, Boiamnt.

As a general rule, a single reference is eitetl, but exception is made
in eases of list names accompanied by sets of plants, and in first publi-
cations which are obscure or doubtful; a few names, merely list names,
so far as we know, have been included.
Otto Kuntze's Revisio Geperum Plantamm, with its thousands of
specific changes, has, thus far, been but partially indexed, and is, there-
fore, passed over for the present, as this list has already been long de-
layed.
A bibliography of the works cited in this index is here added.

LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED BY C. S. SHELDON AND M. A.
CARLETON IN INDIAN TERRITORY IN 1891.
By J. M. HOLZINGER.
This paper is a report on two collections of plants, chiefly from Indian
Territory, the first made by Mr. 0. S. Sheldon, the other by Mr. M. A.
Carleton, whose paper on the native plants of Oklahoma Territory and
adjacent districts appears herewith.
Mr. Sheldon collected during June, July, and August in the southern
half of the territory. Mr. Carleton was in the field from the middle of
April to the last of September, covering the north half of Indian Terri-
tory and the adjacent parts of Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas.
Valuable help and suggestions were received in the determinations
from Dr. George Vasey, who also determined the grasses. The Carices
were referred for verification to Prof. L. H. Bailey.
I.-C. 8. SHlfiliDON'S COIiliECTION.
Mr. Sheldon's route lay through Colbert, Caddo, Atoka, the Sans
Bois Mountains, Stonewall, McAlester, Erin Springs, Fort Sill, Cash
Creek, Anadarko, the Washita Eiver, Mount Scott, the Shawnee Hills,
and Hartshorn.

This plant has the scaly bulb of the .species to which it is here referred. The
Howers are, however, rather larger, and no plants could be found with leaves.
The Indians familiar with it claimed that it never had leaves. But this is prob-
ably an error. In dry seasons plants in bloom and having no leaves are
found in Minnesota.

Thalia dealbata Roscoe. Sans Bois Mountains. July. No. 90.
Tliis plant has only the inflorescence "dusted over with powder." Further,
Mr. Sheldon reports this as 7-10 feet high, when, according to Chapman, p.
465, it is usually only 3-5 feet high. There are two other specimens of thia
species in the National Herbarium, Dr. Bigelow's Rio Grande plant, collected
in 1853 near the Choctaw Agency, and Elihu Hall's Texan plant No. 629. Hall's
plant, however, differs from Bigelow's and Sheldon's in that it has a ring or
beard of hairs on the rachis at the base of each flower, while the others are
glabrous at that point. Some close field work is necessary to reconcile and
explain these discrepancies.

Mr. Carleton started in at Vinita. From there be went westward
through the Creek and Seminole nations, Oklahoma, the Cheyenne
country, the southern tiers of counties in Kansas (April to July). Then
he went through the Cimarron Valley, Neutral Strip, into the north-
western counties of Texas, returning through the Indian Territory into
Kansas (August, September).

This plant is doubtfully referred here as a small form of this species. Its

Jermy*8 No. 134 from Qillespie County, Tex., and Dr. Palmer's No. 30, collected in
the Indian Territory in 1868. This form, so far as the three collections show, grows
only 3 to 5 inches high. The younger plants are simple, erect, with 3 to 5 pairs
of leaves below the branching inflorescence, while the older plants branch at
the base.

> This species and 2*. Ureti/olium look very macb alike. When in flower they can be separated by
the number of stamens, T. ealyeinum having 30, T. Ureti/oUutn 20. In fVuit the sopasation is more
difficult. The only tangible diatiuction that I ooold make out in in the duration of the sepals, which
fall with the corolla in T. teretifolium, but are somewhat persistent after the corolla falls in T, caly-
einum. The sepals are also produced below the poiut of insertion in T. ealyeinum and not pro-
duced in T. Uret^olium. Coherently stated, the matter stands thus:
1. Talinum calfcinam has 30 or more stamens, has sepals persistent after the corolla falls, and has
them produced below the point of insertion.
2. Talinum tercifolinm haa 20 stamens; its sepals fall with the corolla and are not produced b^low
the point of insertion.

' The lino between the groups of Riddellia is not well drawn on the size of the rays, aa in Gray,
Syn. Fl.ii. pt. I. pp. 317,318. This plant haa the short rays of i2. arachnoidea, but the glabrous
achenes and entire paleee of the pappuM of R. tajetina, with which species it is therefore placed.
On examination, the following numbers had to bo transferred to Riddellia tatjetina Nutt. : (1) No. 62S
of Mexican Koundary Snrvcy; (2) a plant from New Mexico, sent in 1887 by W. B. Pease ; (3) New.
berry's plant in McComb's expedition from the "Hills on the Chama;" (4) Letterraan's plants, sent
in \H»'I, from Big Springs, Tex.
Dr. Watson, to whom this matter had been referre<l for counsel, said, in a letter on the subj«-ct:
"Dr. Gray evidently made too little allowance for variation in the rays of the first group in the genus.
In fjirtn it is only in R. Coopen that the ray rciiches the dimensiijus given. In R. taijetina it is any-
where from 2 to 3 lines in length."

> The other specimens of this form of S. per/oliata in the National Herbarium are : No. 679, of Mex-
ican Boundary Survey; Dp. Palmer's No. 168, from Indian Territory; and a plant collected by C.
Thomas in the Rocky Mountains, in 18G9. The Mexican Boundary plant was first named Dytmieodon
ovatum Nutt., but was subsequently changed to Spectdaria bijlora Gray, with a question mark. The
other two plants were both found with Specularia perfoliata.
The capsules of this form are about 4 longer than in the common form ; the seeds, on the other hand,
are I smaller, and more oval, the ratio of the two diameters being as 3 to 2. Speexdaria leptocarpa lias
seeds of about this shape, but just double this length. The seeds of Specularia bi/lora the Qyn.Yl.
ii, 11, describes as lenticular, but on examining some ripe seeds of Reverchon's Texan plant under this
name, I find it to be oval, and of about the same size as in the plants under consideration. The char-
acteristic difference between Speculatia per/oliata and biflora is in the leaves, which are broader and
more amplexicaule la S. per/oliata, narrower and more distant on the stem in 8. biflora^ bat still am<
plexicikule; the length of the capsule varies some in both, so does the position of the valves, certainly
in per/oliata; the Syn. Fl. ii. 11, places these " at or below the middle," but both the figure in UBlv.
nov. gen. et sp. iii. t. 265, and the National Hebariiim spec^imons show valves in this species above th«
middle. The plants under consideration have the valves of the capsules above the middle, bat have
\he\iiayes of S. per/oliata. On the other hand. Mr. F. V. Coville collected a plant in Pennsylvania
which haa the more slender aspect, In leaves and stem, of S. bijiora. There is other material in the
National H«Mbarium tending to show that Specularia per/oliata and bi/lora are only variations of ooa
good spei'ioa, variable in width of leaf, Icngtli of capsule, and position of valvular openings on lh«
same.

Ipomcoa Carletoni Holzinger n. sp. A much branched glabrous vine, trailing on
the ground ; leaves narrowly lanceolate, truncate to acute at base, mucronate at
apex, about 2 inches long, exclusive of petiole (one-half to an inch long) : flowers
2 to 2| inches long, generally solitary but occasionally two or three at the end
of the common peduncle (1 to 1^ inches long) ; pedicels little shorter than
peduncles: sepals one-half inch long, much imbricated, of unequal length, apex
rounded or obtuse and generally mucronulate, glabrous outside, minutely scab-
rous inside, the outer ones more decidedly so: stamens about | length of cor-
olla; filaments densely hairy near their point of insertion on corolla: style
about I length of corolla; stigma rather discoid-peltate than capitate. Mature
fruit and root are desiderata to complete the characters. — Logan County, Okla.,
and Cimarron River, near Guthrie. August. No. 472.
This is near /. longifoliaj but is more slender, and smaller in all its parts. It
is not unlikely that it may turn out to bo a small variety of this species, but
until fruit and root are observed it is decided not to place it so.
Explanation of Plate XVII.— Upper part of a flowering plant; a, part of corolla laid open
to show insertion of stamena ; all parts of natural size, except peduncles and pedicels, which
•bow thicker in the figure than in the plants.

These specimens have pistillate flowers barely developed, and yet the leaves
are f inch long, which with the young shoots are pubescent. In this pubescence
and the simultaneous appearance of flowers and leaves this western form seems
distinct from the eastern.
EUPHORBIACE2I.
Euphorbia strictior Holzinger n . sp. An erect perennial herb, from a thick deep root :
diffusely branched from the base, 15 to 25 inches high, glabrous except the inflo-
rescence; branches simple to the inflorescence, straight and rigid, grooved:
leaves alternate, 1 to 2^ inches long, 1 line or less wide, generally more than
twice the length of the intemodes, becoming relatively shorter toward the in-
florescence, sessile by a tapering base, the margin entire and revolute ; texture
thick and leathery; no venation apparent except the midrib on the under
side; branches of the hi- or trifurcate inflorescence subtended by opposite or
whorled leaves toward the extremities reduced, and there surpassed by the in-
volucre-bearing pedicels ; pedicels i^ inch long, erect; iuvolucral cup as broad
The sabjoined diaposition of these forniB is suggested.

as hi«jjli, minutely puborulent: glands 4 or 5, yellowish, the potaloid appendage
reduced to a narrow, minutely scalloped margin; the pedicels carrying the
yellow anthers on short iilameuts raised above the cup ; ovary raised on an erect
pedicel 1 line long, puberulent when young, becoming glabrate with age; the
three shoi-t styles slightly bifid; fruit when mature spherical in outline, nearly
2 lines in diameter, grooved between the carpels, crowned by the short persist-

Explanation of Plate XVIII.— Lower aud upper part of pUuit natural size. Figs, a,
b, c, d, iuvolucrea, laid open, re«i»ectlvely of E. polyphylla, discoidalis, strict ior Wrightii,
seen from the inside. Fig. e end view, Fig. / side view of seed of E. thicHor, 3.
This dift'ers from the type of E. Wrightii in the National Herbarium in being
less diffusely branched, with the branches more erect and more rigid; leaves
shorter, those in the inflorescence markedly reduced, shorter than the subtended
pedicels; petaloid appendages much narrower than the glands; fruit and seeds
larger. E. fVriffhtii Ls described as having 4 glands ; one of the first involucres
examined from the type specimen had 5.
These two western species of Euphorbia are singularly paralleled by two
closely related Florida species, E. discoidalia Chapman and E, polyphyUa Engelm.
In £. discoidalis the leaves of the inflorescence surpass the ultimate pedicels ; in
E. polyphyUa they are shorter than the pedicels aud bract-like. There is uo ap-
preciable difterence in their seeds.
Dr. Chapman, on a recent visit to the National Herbarium (May, 1892), stated
that he considered his own E, discoidalis and Engelmann's E. polyphyUa one aud
the same species; that he had had correspondence with Dr. Englemann on this
point, but was not sure that he had convinced that gentleman. Subsequent
study and comparison of these plants by the writer tend to establish the claim
of E. polyphyUa to a distinct species. ITie only mention of it in the author's
works is on page 535: ** Euphorbia polyphyUa Engelm. Patterson, Check List,
p. 115 (name only)." Search for the description has proved fruitless. The only
publication known is through Curtiss' plant No. 2498, * accompanied by a i>rinted
label, **Eup1iorbia polyphyUa Eng., n. sp. Dry, sandy soil. Indian River, Flor-
ida," found in the herbaria at Columbia College, New York City, at Cambridge,
Mass., aud at the Department of Agriculture. I therefore give here a descTip-
tion of this species :
Euphorbia polyphyUa Engelm. in herb. An erect perennial, 6 to 12 inches
high, with usually several branches or primary stems from the base, simple for
5 to 10 inches; leaves alternate, crowded, numerous (somewhat as in Atclepias
verticillata), linear, succulent; those of the inflorescence opposite and always
shorter than the subtended pedicels; inflorescence hi- or trifurcate, its branches
elongated at maturity, and spreading; color of glands of the involucre purplish ;
ovary, fruit, and seed not appreciably different from those of E. di9coidali8.
Thus, while these two Florida plants are certainly closely related, E, poly-
phyUa differs in the short bracts of the inflorescence and the numerous, succu-
lent leaves of the stem. The glands in both vary f»om "5" to 4.'

a. Glands yellowish
1. Enphorbia Wrightii Torr. and Gray. Pac. R. R. Rep. ii. 1855, 174.
Leavea of inflorescence longer than subtended pedicels.
2. Em>horbia atrictior Holringer. l*etaloid appendage quite narrow.
Leavea of indoreMcence shorter than sabtenaed pedicels.
b. (Hands purplish.
3. Eaphorbia diacoidalis Chapm. Fl. S. States. 1865, 401.
Leavea of inflorescence longer than subtended pedicels. Stem leaves relatively broad.

This species is the same as E. ctfathophora Jacq. ; and E, barhelUifa Engelm. is
probahly not even a good variety of E. heterophylla. In aspect and variability
of leaves Engelmann's plant agrees exactly with E. heta'ophylla. The only
character indicated in the specific name barbellata is found in varying degree in
the Linua^an species and is not constant in all the leaves of any one plant.
Plants with strong bunches of hairs at the base of the leaves may at most be
designated by E. heterophylla L., var. barbellata,

Leaver of inflorescence always shorter than subtended pedicels. The erect, simple stems
crowded with short, linear, succulent leaves.
[Mr. Simpson sent in the following description of this plant as observed in the field: " Perexuiial ;
stems several from the same root, or liranching from the ground ; ascending, slender, very le«fy,
smooth, 6 to 10 inches high; leaves linear, fleshy, semiterete, smooth, entire, alternate, obtuse,
sessile, 8 to 12 lines long, a line or less wide," corroborating the impression that the leaves are
succulent.]

OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATIVE PLANTS OF OKLAHOMA
TERRITORY AND ADJACENT DISTRICTS.
By M. A. Carlkton, assiatunt hotanisty Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
In order to make out anything like a complete statement of the dis-
tribution and variations of the native plants of the above-named
country, it would, of course, be necessary to survey systematically the
entire territory included, visiting each district at all se^i^ous of the
year and taking two or three years of time for the purpose. The fol-
lowing notes are taken from a sojourn of less than six months in the
regions mentioned during the summer of 1891, although several of the
districts were visited two or three times during the summer. However,
1 have taken pains to investigate all distributions and variations of
plants that seemed to be in any way significant, and it is hoped the
following summary of results may prove interesting.
I shall first give some notes on the plants of the diflferent districts of
this region, and then direct attention to certain groups.
The entire region over which 1 have worked is approximately included
between the Arkansas and Canadian rivers, west of Arkansas and east
of Colorado and New Mexico, but some of my notes will refer to the
northeast portion of the Indian Territory and of New Mexico and the
southeast portion of Colorado. For convenience I divide the whole
region into five parts : (1) Oklahoma proper and eastern Indian Terri-
tory (or the Indian Territory east of the 98th meridian); (2) westc^m
Indian Territory (west of the 98th meridian), excluding No Man's Land:
(3) southwest Kansas (that i)art of Kansas cut off by the Arkansas
River); (4) No Man's Land or Neutral Strip; and (5) Texas Panhandle
north of the Canadian River.
OKLAHOMA PBOPEB AND EASTERN INDIAN TEBRITORY.
The greater part of this district I have visited but onc^, and then
early in the spring, and therefore can not say much about its flora fi-om
my own knowledge. But I believe I have made sufficient observations
to justify me in expressing the opinion that it is a country in the main

more especially adapted to horticulture, and in some places, perhaps,
stock-raisiug. I base this opinion partly upon the unusual abundance
of native species of fruits and partly upon the kind of soil present.
But of course there are other things to be taken into account, and I
folly admit the possibility of my being wrong in the matter.
I am especially inclined to believe that small fruits and plums and
perhaps pears will do well in this district, particularly in the southern
and eastern portions, while peaches are already quite successfully grown
by Indians and squaw men in the Cherokee Nation. The soil seems
to have the clayey consistency desirable for some fruits — as the plum —
and yet with sufficient sand or gravel to allow necessary drainage.
Moreover, native fruits are found in great abundance, as a rule. In
the Cherokee and Creek nations haws are extremely common, their
blossoms giving a white appearance to the woods and filling the air
with fragrance. They include the species Gratmgus arborescens Ell.
and O. tomentosa L., var. mollis Gray, and no doubt others that I did
not observe. In nearly all this district the following species are quite
common, especially the first named: Chickasaw plum {Prunus Ghicdsa
Mx.), the ordinary wild plum {Prunvs Americana Marshall), the wild
cherry {Prunus serotiiui Ehrh.), and Prunus gracilis Eng. and Gr. ; and
in the timbered portions of the southern part of this district dewber-
ries and strawberries are so very abundant as to form extensive wild
gardens, as I observed myself, both to my pleasure in the berries they
furnished and to my annoyance in the obstruction they offered to the
pedestrian. The common blackberry and raspberry {Rubiis villosus
Ait. and R. occidentals L.) are also found everywhere, and a low, bushy
species of blackberry {Rtibus trivialis Mx.) seems to be rather common
at Yinita.
The usual western grasses thrive well, and a native species of clover
{Trifolium Carolinianum Mx.) is common at Okmulkee, the capital of
the Creek Nation. Another larger-headed, clover (Trifolium reflea^um
ij.) was collected in the southern Seminole Nation, but did not seem to
be very frequent.
In theeastem portions there is excellent timber, including quite a num-
ber of the common oaks, several hickories, hard and soft maple, green
ash, the elms, box elder, sycamore, yellow birch, black walnut, cotton-
wood, etc. Post oak is especially common, and makes fairly good tunber.
Farther westward, except along streams, forests are reduced to small
groves of gnarly " black jack," remotely scattered here and there.
From my one trip through the eastern part of this district it was im-
possible to gain much thorough knowledge of its timber.
WESTERN INDIAN TERRITORY.
For the entire regfon included in Kansas and Indian Territory the
28th meridian may be taken as a very good arbitrary line separating
the Great Plains flora into an eastern and western section, some-

what distinct from each other in the character of their predominant
species. The natural boundary, it is true, would follow a zigzag
course, crossing this line many times, but its average course would lie
just about on this meridian. Going westward, such species as the fol-
lowing first make their appearance at this line: Astragalus mollissimw
Torr. (*'loco"), Oaillardia pulchella FovLg,j Malva^trumcoceineumQray^
Artemisia filifolia Torr. (^'sagebrush"), A. Wrightii Gray, etc., while
others, though occasionally found east of this line, now become more
largely predominant, as Oaillardia lanceolata Mx., Yucca angtisti/olia
Pursh ("Mexican soap-plant"), Solanum ekeagnifolium Cav., Evolvultu
argentexis Pursh, the grama grasses and several of the Drop-seed grasses.
And so, almost immediately after passing the meridian near King-
fisher, the flora of this district begins to exhibit the distinctive char-
acter common to the western Great Plains.
During the season of 1891 there was an excellent growth of grasses
nearly all over this district, consisting mainly of the blue-stems {An-
dropogon provinciali^ Lam., A. nutans Lum., and A, Hallii Hack., v.
flaveolus Hack.), interspersed throughout with a rich carpet of Buffalo
grtiss. But the season was an exceptionally wet one.
A very brilliant eryngium {Eryngium diffusum Torr.) gives pleasing
variety in some places to the usual monotony of this district; while
there are densely grown patches of the following species, scattered here
and there : Rudbeckia hirta L., Monarda citriodora Cerv., Hosackia Pur-
shiana Bentii., Solanum elceagnifolium Cav., and Phaseolus pauciflorus
Benth. The last three are often found growing together in prairie-
dog towns, sometimes with Gallirrhoe involucrata Gray, and occasion-
ally Martynia prohoscidea Glox.
In the North Canadian Valley a curious velvet-flowered crucifer
{Streptanthm hyacinthoides Hook.) appears as a Bpecies rather rare in
this district, so far as I have observed, and on the south side of the
same river, where the country is much different from the north side,
Lespedeza reticulata Pers. is occasionally found mingling with the more
common L, capitata Mx. Then the Gypsum Hills have their pecaliar
flora, to which 1 shall refer again. Although the greater portion of
this district will probably continue to be adapted only to the practice
of stock-raising, still there is no good reason why the eastern part may
not become a fine wheat-growing country, especially since it lies mainly
south of the counties of Harper and Barber, in Kansas, which have
already made a good record as a wheat-producing region. Besides, the
amount of rainfall, in the same longitude, seems to increase toward the
south.
SOUTHWEST KANSAS.
Until during the last three years the plants of this district have been
very little known to botanists, and now the results of recent collections
disclose to us a flora rich in interesting forms, both in the way of add-

ing to our.^st many species new to Kansas, and exhibiting very strik-
ingly the transition from the eastern to the western plains flora. Prof.
W. A. Kellerman and Mr. B. B. Smyth have preceded me in making
collections of the plants of this district, and reported quite a number
of the species that I shall mention in these notes.
Here we find species that would be wholly out of place in eastern
Kansas, but which become very fomiliar to the collector in the '* Pan-
handle'' or Neutral' Strip, and which are invariably characteristic of
sandy barren regions.-
But, going westward^'before we reach the more barren portions of the
district we first find in Kingman, Pratt, Barber, and Oomanche coun-
ties an extension from the Territory of the outcropping "red beds.''
Here there is not such a continuity of the flora as in the sandy regions,
but there are certain unusual forms quite local and broken in their
range, such as the following species: Oxytropis monticola Gray, found
so far only at Kingman, Oaillardia simplex Scheele., Astragalus bisulcatus
Gray, Seneeh BotigUisii DC. and Aster oblongifolius Nutt., var. rigidulus
Gray. Gypsum hills, too, are nuiperous here, and are accompanied by
their peculiar flora. Juniperus Vtrginiana L. and Celtis occidentalis L.
occur among these hills, the former probably as an extension of its
range from the Territory, rather thaqi from eastern or northern Kansas.
Aside from the plants of the "red beds" and sandy regions, there
are a few others that become familiar forms in western Kansas, distrib-
uted quite generally over the high prairies. Of these, besides various
cacti, buflfalo-grasses, and the grama grasses (Boutehtui racemosa Lag.,
B, oUgostachya Torr. and B. hirsuta Lag., there are the following
species: Lepachys Tagetes Gray (both purple and yellow-rayed forms),
Oaillardia pulchella Foug., Engelmannia pinnatifida Torr. and Gray,
Erysimum asperum DC, Astragalus lotiflorus Hook., A. molHssimus
Torr., Ipomwa leptophylla Torr., (Enothera Hartwegi Benth, etc.
The prevailing sunflower for all this district, and in fact for the entire
Arkansas Valley of the Great Plains, is Hdianthus petlolaris Nutt., al-
though ff. annuus L. is quite common.
Throughout this district, as in western Indian Territory, the most
important forage grasses are the buttalo-grass, blue-stems, switch grass
{Panicum virgatum L.), and the grama grasses. Along the Cimarron
River Sporobolus asperifolius Thurb. and MiiJilenbergia gracillima Torr.
are also rather common, occurring in dense patches. One of t)ie worst
weeds among the grasses is Schedonnardus Texanus Steudel, which
grows so thickly from Gray County westward as to become quite an
annoyance in the fields, particularly in those not constantly cultivated,
and is very provoking to the teamsters, by gathering mud on the whg<i3ls
of the wagon after a rain.
Li Seward County, the common "tumble weed" is Gycloloma platy-
phyllum Moq. I saw specimens of this species on exhibition at Arkalon
which measured as much as 3 feet across. It is common in sandy
wastes.

There are some interesting species in the extreme southwestern por-
tion of this district that, as far as yet known, seem barely to have crossed
the Kansas line in their distribution northward. A particularly interest-
ing locality, in which alone some of these species have so fsu: been
found in Kansas, is the Point of Bocks, a series of rocky bluffs jutting
out on the north side of the Cimarron River, near the Territory line, in
Morton County, at which place the headquarters of a numb^ of catUe
men have been established for some time. I shall mention some of
these species that I noted at this place and in a few other localities.
Krameria secundiflora DC. is common from Guthrie to Kingfisher,
Okla., and westward, but collected in Kansas only at Point of Boeks,
The following have also been found so far only at Point of Rocks:
Eriogonum la^hnogynum Torr., Berlandiera lyrata Benth., and Petalo-
stemon molaceus Mx., var. tenuis Coulter. The last one, described by
Coulter in his Manual of the Phanerograms and Pteridophytes of
western Te^as, is common fiEtrther south and west in Neutral Strip
and Texas. A singularly dwarfed form of (Enoihera serriilata Nutt- is
also found at Point of Rocks, which is common on gypsum hills in
Indian Territory and in Neutral Strip and Panhandle, but seen nowhere
else in Kansas. Convolvulus inca^itis Yahl also has so far been found
only in Morton County, and Pectis angustifolia Torr., and Franseria
discolor Nutt. only in Seward County, besides others.
NEUTEAL STEIP (BEAVER COUNTY, OKLA.).
This district exhibits more Mly the prevailing species of the south-
western Great Plains. Following the Cimarron River westward, the
species already mentioned as barely crossing the Kansas line first
become more common, then other new species appear, and finally, the
valley of the Cimarron assuming canon form, and reaching the mesas
terminating the spurs of the mountains, the flora presents an appear-
ance quite similar to that of eastern New Mexico and the canons of
Texas Panhandle.
About 50 miles up the river from Morton County, Kans., two or
three species of "tree cactus" are first found, also a new Mentzelia,
M. multijiora Gray, Paronychia sessiUflora Nutt., Dcsmanthus Jamesii
Torr. and Gray, several interesting ferns among the mesas, a new grass,
Lycurus phUoidcs HBK., etc. Besides, nearly all the spedes found in
Morton, Stevens, and Seward counties, Kans., now become very com-
mon.
On the divide between the Cimarron and North Canadian great
patches of Hymenopa^pus flavcscens Gray occur, filling the air with
their pungent odor. In the same region Eragrostis oxylepis Torr. and
Muhlenbergia gracilUma Torr. are quite common, as well as OaiUardia
pinnatijida Torr., and a variety of Chrysopsis villosa Nutt., while Hoff-
manseggia stricta Benth. grows in patches scattered about.

Of trees, the following were Tiote<^l in the Cimarron Oailon : hack-
berry, red cedar, cotton wood, and soap wood (Sapindm margimtm
Willd.); also a species of willow (unrecognized), and among the mesas
a small sensitive plant {Mimosa borealut Gray).
A very troublesome weed in the Cimarron cafions is Tribulus maxi-
mus L. Even within the recent beginning of settlement of the Neutral
Strip this plant has spread quite rapidly over the few cultivated fields.
I found it growing on the farm of J. J. Burnett, at Garrett. He told
me it waa already quite an annoyance.
In some places in the caiions very fair crops can be raised by irriga-
tion ttom springs iiowing out of the mesas.
TEXAS PANHANDLE.
Although this is a large district, still I can give only a few not.es in
regard to its flora, as I have made but one trip through it, passing from
Clayton, N. Hex., along the Denver, Texas and Fort Worth Railroad to
Tascosa; thence down the cailons of the South Canadian River to Cana-
dian City, and thence northward along the Santa Fe Railroad into the
Indian Territory.
Great portions of this district are vast plains of sand, but which
during the season of 1891 were clothed with a very good growth of
grasses, including the blue stems and a few species of the genera
Sporobolusy Bouteloua, Triodiaj and Panieum. These plains, on reaching
the river, are broken up into rocky mesas, and here the flora is rather
different.
Nearly all the characteristic species of the western Great Plains,
already mentioned as occurring in the other districts, are also found
everywhere in this district. Hence I shall note only a few of the
species not already mentioned.
The following species are found on the sandy plains of the western
and northern portions: Eriogonum alatum Torr.j a, giant Eriogonum,
more than 4 feet tall, common in the sand and on rocky bluffs in
Dallam County ; Oilia rigidula Benth., a small blue-flowered Gilia, found
in Dallam and Moore counties; PtnUtetnon ambiguus Torr., white flow-
ered, small, in Hartley County; Helianthus ciliaris DC, collected on
high prairies in Moore County, and Cuscuta cmpidata Eng., parasitic on
Artemisia filifolia Torr. and Ambrosia psilosrtachya DC, also in Moore
County.
Along the Canadian Caiion a number of interesting species were also
Boted. At Tascosa were found Bigelovia Wrightii Gray, Baceharis
salicina Torr. & Gray, and the mesquit, Prosopisjuliflora DC, the beans
of which are used by Mexicans and Indians for food. A grove of this
last species was also noted in the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe reservation,
about 12 miles northeast of Cantonment. It is also called screw-
beany and is quite common over the Southwest. A cactus {Opuntia
lepiocaulis DC), with very flue-looking fruit, was also collected at

Tascosa. The fruit is brilliant red, and at a distance looks like flowers^
It furnishes an acid juice that is quite refreshing to the tired travrfer.
BouUlotM eriopoda Torr. grows in abundance near Tascosa. At Cana-
dian City a splendid malvaceous plant {Hibiscus Uisiocarpus Cav.) i^^
common in the Canadian Valley (which here loses its canon form) ; also
Asclepias incarnata L. var. longifolia Gray was collected in the same
locality.
One of the foxtails {Setaria glauca Beauv.) forms a good part of the
hay in the Canadian Valley, and is considered to be of good quality.
The button bush {Cephalanthus occidentalis L.) is a very cx>miuon
shrub in this valley and along streams in western Indian Territory.
This district is, on the whole, one vast cattle range, with a few cul-
tivated fields in the Canadian canons, watered by springs in the mesas.
PLANTS CHABAOTEEISTIO OF SANDY EEaiONS.
Having given some attention to the distribution of plants for several
years, I have become especially interested in the fact commonly known
that certain plants are usually associated with particular soils and cli
mates. However, I can not hope to give anything new in this line^
except in so far as I may be able to present some additional observa-
tions, that may be of interest, from a study of the flora of the above
districts.
It has been noted by nearly all observers, I suppose, who have had
opportunity, that the plants of sandy or desert regions are usually,
and uniformly, protected against rapid transpiration by thickened
leaves and epidermis, absence or narrowness of leaves, or an unusual
amount of wooliness or hairiness. Now, as one would expect, we find
such characters commonly belonging to the species prevailing in the
western Great Plains. Of course the Great Basin and other regions
farther west and south than these districts that have come more imme-
diately under my own observations would probably furnish still better
examples of this peculiarity in plant distribution; but various circum-
stances do not permit me to include any notes upon those regions,
although I have been over a portion of the Great Basin.
It is particularly interesting to trace the gradually increasing tend-
ency to assume these protective characters on the part of those species
inhabiting both the eastern and western portions of the Great Plains
in their distribution westward. The very common evening Primrose
{(Enothera serrulata Nutt.) furnishes a good illustration. I have seen
specimens of this species in eastern Indian Territory growing more than
2 feet tall, with flowers nearly 2 inches across, while in Panhan-
dle, Texas, Neutral Strip, and at Point of Rocks, Kans., it becomes
I)eculiarly dwarfed, often not more than G inches tall, with flowers
little more than half an inch across, and the leaves and branches be-
come more whitish, narrower, and yet thicker, and the entire plant
more massive in proportion to its height. Between these extremes in-

tennediate forms can be traced. ChrysopHtM villosa Xiitt. and Aplo-
papp^is spinulosus DO. are well known to be quite variable, but their
variations, to the eastward and westward especially, will nearly always
be found to be in the line of a greater or less presence of protective
characters. Of the former, the very names of many of the described
varieties ought to, and do, indicate these facts, such as canescensy hinpida^
foliosa^ stenaphylUij viffcida, etc., while there are innuniorabie interme-
diate forms not worthy of varietal rank. RiddeUia tagctinu Nutt. be-
comes much more woolly fjirther westward, and Engelmannia pinnatifida
Torr. and Gray more hairy and somewhat dwarfed.
Besides Chrysopsis villosa Nutt. a number of other species become
so modified as to produce distinct varieties. Petalostemon tHoln<)eus
Mx. changes into its dwarfed but stouter variety t^nuift Coulter, Oxy-
baphus nyctdgineuH Sweet, becoming more and more hairy, finally pro-
duces the variety pilosm Gray (Barber Oounty, Kans.). Oenothera
Hartxcegi Benth. becomes the variety lavenduUvfolia Wats., dwarfed
and more hairy, and Aster ohlongifolius Nutt. gives place to its dwarfed
but stouter and more rigid variety rigidulus Gray.
Just so, species with thickened or hairy epidermis and fleshy, narrow
leaves take the place of other species of the same genus farther west-
ward in the sandy or desert regions. Soon after passing the 98th
meridian we find Astragahis mollissimus Torr. and A. lotijiorus Hook,
taking the place of other species of the genus, and they finally become
the dominant astragali of southwest Kansas. These species are well
known to be quite hairy. In my own experience the latter species is
almost invariably the only one of the genus found in sand hills. As-
tragalus pectinatus Dougl. and A.pictm Gray, \B,r,JilifoHus Gray, species
with very narrow or finely dissected leaves, and A. Parryi Gray, a
very hairy species, also become quite common, especially in eastern
Colorado. Lepachys Ta^etes Gray becomes dominant in place of L.
columnaris Torr. and Gray in extreme southwestern Kansas, and Oxyha-
phus husuttks Sweet replaces largely the other oxybaphi in the Neutral
Strip. Gaura villosa Torr. already begins to replace other gauras in
sand hills at Guthrie, Okla., and becomes quite common farther west-
ward. Solanum elceagnifolium Cav. becomes the dominant member of its
genus in southwest Kansas and Neutral Strip. It has very much thick-
ened whitish woolly leaves and epidermis. It also takes the place of
Solanum rostratum Dunal in furnishing food for great numbers of the
Colorado potato beetle in Barber County, Kans. Oenothera albicanlis
Nutt., with sparsity of leaves and much-thickened stem and leaves, and
Oe. pinnatifida Nutt., with finely divided leaves and hau-y all over, be-
come common in place of others of this genus in southwest Kansas and
southwestward. Gaillardia pinnatifida Torr., almost before one recog-
nizes the fact, appears in place of O. pulchcUa Foug., as the two species
resemble each other very much, but the former is really more ashy
pubescent, with leaves usually more finely divided. Art^mia filifolia

Torr. and^. Wrt<7*Yt/ Gray replace other artemisias, and Dalea mtna
Torr. and D. lanata Spreng. are found common in place of other nieni-
bers of that genus. All of these have either finely discected leaves or
gre^t woollinesft, or both.
Of the 8edges Cyperus Schweinitzii Torr. seems to be the most com-
mon in sandy wastes. From what I am able to le^m from other soarees,
however, it is a species that seems to be quite generally distributed
everywhere. In this connection it may be of interest to note a difference
in habitat between Cyperus Schweinitzii Torr. and 6'. Houghtoni Torr^
which two species have only recently been separated by Dr. Britton.
(Bulletin Torr. Bot. Club, vol. xviii. p. 368.) I have noted both sx>^^i^^
in many places all over the Southwest, and, while the former is quite
common in sandy wastes, I have never once noted C. Houghtoni in
such localities.
Bouteloua hirsuta Lag. is the dominant grama grass in the Neutral
Strip; and in western Texas and eastern New Mexico the ** black
grama " grass, B. eriopoda Torr., becomes quite common. Of the ferns
Cheilanthes Lindheimeri Hook, is a good example of a characteristic
western form. It is extremely villous to tomentose, found growing
in abundance among the rocks of the mesas in the Cimarron caiions.
To name all other species characteristic of these sandy regions, taken
at random from various genera and orders, would require a long list,
which would probably be both needless and uninteresting. Hence I
shall name only a few of the most striking examples: Heliotropimm
convolvulacetim Gray, a species covered with stiff, appressed hairs,
which I have invariably found growing in almost pure sand ; RedfitMU
flexuoso Vasey, a grass with slender, rigid leaves, seemingly restricted
even to "blow outs^ in sides of sand hills; Dipla4;hne rigida Vasey, »
grass having, as the name implies, a very rigid, thickened stem and a
few short, narrow, rigid leaves; Hymenopappus flavescens Gray, a sx)eciec»
white tomentose, common in southwest Kansas and Neutral Strip;
Franseria discolor Nutt., hispid hairy, in Seward County, Kans. ; Poljfp-
t^ris Texana Gray, Aplopappus rubiginosus Torr. and Gray, and A. dirar-
icatus Gray, all viscid-pubescent or woolly, with rather narrow leaves;
Krynitzkia Jamesii Gray, and K. crnssisepala Gray, both extrem^y
rough, hispid, or tomentose, in southwest Kansas and south westward;
Lycurus phleoides HBK., a grass somewhat similar in texture to the
grama grasses, among the mesas in Neutral Strip; Portulaea pilo^a It,
common in the Panhandle and in sandy wastes at Wichita, Kans,;
Biscut^lla WisUzeni Benth. and Hook., a densely woolly crucifer, oommon
in the Panhandle and found in southwest Kansas; Eriogonum annumm
Nutt., E. alalum Torr., E. lachnogynum Torr., E. Jamesii Benth., in
fact, nearly all the eriogonunis of the Great Plains, all pubescent to
densely tomentose, with few narrow leaves; besides all the vuiouft
cacti, with fleshy stems and no leaves; the mentzelias, with rougii,
thickened leaves and hard stems; the aristidas, stipas, yuccas, etc

It wonid seem to be a logical eouclusion from the above facts that
any sjiecies introduced into cultivation for use as forage plants, in
those desert regions, ought to possess these same characters protecting
them against too rapid transpiration if there is to be any hope at all
of success without irrigation. Such grasses as Uniota latifoln Mx.,
or the cut-grass, Leersia oryzoides Swartz, for instance, would make
utter failures. Fortunately the plants proper for such regions can
usually be found among the native species, but if they muM be intro-
duced from abroad they should certainly be selected from places similar
in soil and climate.
While the buffalo and grama grasses will probably continue to be,
for general purposes, the mainstay of the Western ranchman, at least
for many years to come, still it seems proper to note here a few other
8i>ecie8 that might be introduced into cultivation with success by the
farmer, esi)ecially in the lower lands and river valleys, and that ought
to receive a thorough test by our Western experiment stations. The
United States grass station at Garden City, Kans., has probably
already made a trial of some of these species that I shall mention, but
I think not all of them.
Colorado blue-joint {Agropyrum glaucum R. and S.). — This is a very
common si>ecies in southern Colorado and in Neutral Strip and extreme
western Kansas. It makes excellent hay, and is one of the most valued
grasses in the Cimarron canons. How far it has been tested in culti-
vation I do not know, although I was informed that a ranchman of
southern Colorado had produced a very good meadow from the seed
obtained from a small plat raised the year before.
Broom grass (Andropogon saccharoides Swartz, and varieties). — A
; ranchman at Garrett, Okla., calls this and the following species
the best grasses they have in the Cimarron canons, and others have
made similar statements. It is widely diffused all over the Southwest,
from Wichita and Guthrie westward, but not very abundant, although
increasing in abundance westward.
Panic grass (Panicum obtusum HBK.). — Sofar as I know, this grass
has never yet even been mentioned as one worthy of cultivation; but,
as far as its being relished by stock is concerned, experience points it
out as an excellent grass, both for hay and grazing. Its actual nutri-
tive value, of course, would have to be determined by chemical analy-
sis. It affords a fair supply of foliage, large spikelets which ought to
furnish good seed, matures rather early, and seems well adapted to the
river valleys of the Plains. It ranges fix)m Kingfisher westward, be-
coming rather common in the Neutral Strip.
HalVs broom grass {Andropogon HaUii Hack., and varieties). — ^This
is quite stemmy, but ftirnishes good grazing and, if cut young, pro-
duces a good quality of hay. It is much like the common blue-stem
. (Andropogon provincialis Lam.), and is quite frequent in canons as
well as on uplands.

Sicitch grass (Panicum rirgatum L.) is also a comraon and well-
known grass in the canons. The value of this grass for hay is al8<j
increased by early mowing. It is called a very good forage plant by
tlie ranchmen.
Yelhw foxtail (Setaria glauca Beauv.). — The ranchmen in the South
Canadian canons call this a very good grass for hay. I have seen them
mowing it in considerable quantity. It is rather common there. It
may possibly seem the more valuable simply because there is a lack of
other good species.
PLANTS CHARACTERISTIC OF GYPSUM HILLS.
It seems to be pretty well understood that the meaning of the Indian
word Oklahoma is "home of the red earth'' (Okla=red, homa=home);
which, if tnie, makes it a very appropriate name, since a large portion
of the Indian Territory north of the South Canadian River is plainly
distinguished by outcropping **red beds,'' which also extend north-
waid into Barber, Pratt, Comanche, and Kingman counties, Kans.
Now, gypsum and salt are also associated with the " red beds," out-
cropping at the surface in the form of gypsum hills and salt marshes,
especially along the valley of the Cimmarron and in central Kansas.
The gypsum deposits, being a little harder than the surrounding soil,
have been left standing by the eroding action of streams until they
have become very prominent hills, in some places forming what are
called gln88 mountains^ from the glistening appearance of the mica-like
gypsum covering their sides.
All these gypsum hills invariably have their characteristic plants.
The special characters of the plants are very much the same as those ot
the plants of sandy regions. This is explained by the fact that they
have to contend with the same general adversities of environment — a
dry, gravelly soil, from which the water is rapidly drained away through
the sides of the hills.
At the summits of these hills, near Kingfisher, Okla., certain species
are found which do not occur in the surrounding lower country within
a radius of 100 miles, so far as my experience goes. Of these, Riddellla
tagetina Nutt. is one of the most common, found on various hills along
the Cimarron River. The dwarf form of Oenothera serrulata Nutt., al-
ready mentioned, is also quite as common, as well as Oe. Hartwegi
Benth., Oaura villosa Torr., Yucca angu^tifolm Pursh, Oilia longiflora
Don., Mentzelia nuda Torr. and Gray, and M. oligosperma Nntt., are
frequent on gypsum hills from Caldwell to Barber County, Kans. Port-
ulaca pilom L. occurs on similar hills in the Cherokee Outlet, Ind. T.
The following species I have not seen in other localities than gypsum
hills: Lesquerella gracilis W'^^ts,, Kama dcmissum Gray, and Astragalus
microUhus Gray, in Cherokee Outlet, and Oxyhaplius nyctaginem Sweet,
var. pilosus Gray, in Barber County, Kans. I suppose, however, they
may be found, in other places. They are not very common, and this

fact may possibly account for my not having seen them in other local-
ities. Of cimrse it is not necessary that any species should be entirely
limited to a certain locality in order to be properly characteristic of
that locality.
PLANTS CHARACTERISTIC OF SALT MARSHES.
Experiments have shown that solutions of salt have a retarding influ-
ence upon the assimilative processes in plants; and now in a recent con-
tribution to botanical science ("Ueber Schutzmittel des Laubes gegen
Transpiration besonders in der Flora Javas," A. F. W. Schimper; Sitz-
ungsberichte der Berl. Akadem. der Wissenschaften, 1890, S. 1045), the
writer maintains that the presence of salt also interferes with the water
supply, much to the same extent as a relatively dry soil. Hence it is
argued that the thick, fleshy leaves, sunken stomata, and hairiness of
salt-marsh plants are all protective characters against too rapid trans-
piration, just as they are in the case of plants of desert regions. If tliis
view is correet, there are probably other characters distinguishing salt-
marsh plants from those of desert regions, for I have yet noted but two
species that are at all common to both localities.
The two species that I have found to be common to salt marshes and
barren sandy regions are Corispermum hyHsopifoUum L. and Cycloloma
platyphyllum Moq., belonging to the goosefoot ovA&v {Chenopodiacew).
The former I have collected in abundance in sandy districts in Texas
Panhandle and various places in southwest Kansas and in salt
marshes all along the Salt Fork, in Cherokee Outlet; the latter, in a
number of Kansas salt marshes, and in sandy wastes in extreme south-
western Kansas, wiiere it is a common tumble weed.
Atriplex expansa Wats., belonging to the same order to which the
above belong, is a common alkali and salt marsh plant in southern
Kansas, although this is its flrst publication as a Kansas plant. It is
also common along the Salt Fork in Indian Territory. It is well known
to possess thick, scurfy leaves. Kochia Americana Wats., another mem-
ber of the goosefoot order, and possessing unusually thick, terete,
fleshy leaves, is also a common salt-marsh plant throughout southern
and western Kansas. I have myself found it at Wichita and in salt
marshes at Geuda Springs (Sumner County) and in Stafford County.
It is according to my experience that a majority of the genera of the
orders Ohenopodiaceae and Amarantaceae represented in the Great
Plains fornish species peculiar to salt marshes and sandy wastes.
Of the sedges Soirpus maritimus L. and Scirpm Torreyi Olney are
invariably found associated with salt marshes throughout Kansas and
Indian Territory. Distichlis maritima Raf., var. stricta Thurber, and
Sporobohis diroides Torr. are such common grasses in salt marshes that
it would be quite strange to see a salt marsh without them. The latter
is also found in various alkaline and othcjr barren soils.

Sesuvium portulacastrum L., belonging to an order (Ficoide^) char-
acterized by fleshy, succulent plants, is very ft-equent in Kansas salt
marshes and on the Great Salt Plain of the Cimarron, and is strictly
characteristic of such localities, according to my observations. Olaux
maritima L. is also reported from Kansas and known to be a character-
istic salt-marsh plant. I have not observed it myself.
Cleomella angmtifolia Torr. is common in alkaline soils, but not at
all limited to such localities.
PLANTS OHABACTEEISTIC OF SANDSTONE OUTCROPS.
In the central and eastern portions of the Indian Territory are small
surface outcrops, usually of sandstone, at the summits or on sides of
hills, or even scattered over the general level of the country, which are
always clothed by a vegetation entirely distinct from that of the sur-
rounding soil. But I have only observed this peculiarity in the Indian
Territory, and probably have not yet the required facts to make it a
matter of very much importance.
I shall name a few of the species most strikingly characteristic ol
these localities that have come under my observation. These outcrops
are especially noticeable about Guthrie and Oklahoma City, where I
have collected the following species: Kama hispidum Gray, Evax proli-
fera Nutt., Euphorbia pepUdion Eng., Linum Berlandieri Hook., and
several others of less importance. In these same outcrops and in the
eastern part of the Territory I have collected some others, which are
also found in the western Great Plains, such as Actinella linearifolia
Torr. and Gray, and Evolvulus argenteus Pursh, both at Oklahoma City,
and (Enothera linifolia Nutt., Rumex a^etosella L., Pha^elia parviflora
Pursh, Phaeelia strictifiora Gray, and others, in the Creek Xation«

SYSTEMATIC AND ALPHABETIC INDEX TO NEW SPECIES OF
NORTH AMERICAN PHANEROGAMS AND PTERI-
DOPHYTES PUBLISHED IN 1892.
By J08KP111NE A. Clauk.
PREFATORV NOTE.
In conformity with the plan of the Index for 1891 both a systematic
and an alphabelic enumeration of names is given, the former following,
in both order and numbering, Durand's Index Gcnerum Phaneroga-
inorum. In the case of species or varieties described as new in the
year 1892, the State or other general locality follows the reference,
but in case of a mere change in the name of a plant that has been
I)re\iou8ly described no locality is given.

For Both Medicine and Dentistry, the
value of the first truly scientific dissections
by Galen, the Greek who lived in Rome
(130-200 A.D.), was equaled only by the
scientific w^/Ao^ propounded 600 years earlier
by Hippocrates.
Working only with pigs and apes (but urg-
ing his students to be on the alert for human
bones protruding from graveyards), Galen
was first to recognize the different kinds of
nerves, most muscles, the brain as the center
of the nervous system and the fact that arter-
ies, containing blood rather than air, were
somehow connected with th

Optimal size crystals of crystalline penicillin G sodium in refined pea-

Accuracy assured. One cell contains a single accurate dose of 300.000
units. The other cell provides a sterile aspirating test solution, the use
of which guards against accidental intravenous injection.

This handbook might well be likened lo a
well-charted road map, so direct is the aim
to guide the reader to a satisfactory end
of the case at hand. The simple method is
given precedent, with application as greatly
simplified as possible. Yet, where necessary,
more formidable procedures are described.
Thus, there is no uncharted fork in the road
where hesitation might ensue as to which
route would most readily reach success.
Here the usual lengthy discussions of the
manner of injury, together with signs and
symptoms of fracture

of treatment. Throug

REPORT ON A COLLECTION OF PLANTS MADE IN THE STATES OF
SONORA AND COLIMA, MEXICO, BY DR. EDWARD PALMER, IN THE
YEARS 1890 AND 1891.
By J. N. Rose.
The collection here reported upon was made by Dr. Edward Palmer,
chiefly in the States of Sonora and Colima during the latter part of
1890 and the early months of 1891. The localities visited were Agia-
bampo, Mauzanillo, Colima, and Armeria.
I>r. Palmer arrived at Agiabampo September 12, en route for Ala-
mos. Heavy showers had previously fallen and vegetation was well
advanced, but few plants were as yet in flower. From this place he
went directly to Alamos and obtained a valuable collection, upon which
a report has already been made.* While at Alamos one of those dry,
hot winds, so characteristic of this region, occurred and seriously
injured or killied many of the plants; heavy showers fell again on Octo-
ber 1, reviving some plants which were in unexposed places. Dr.
Palmer returned to Agiabampo October 3, and was much disappointed
at finding the vegetation in so poor a condition. Collecting was diffi-
cult and unsatisfactory, but his work under these circumstances was
most admirably done, as shown by the many new and interesting plants
enumerated in this report. About 55 species were obtained. The
specimens are numbered from 752 lo 815, the result of two weeks' col-
lecting at this place.
The town of Agiabampo is a small seaport on the Gulf of California,
in the extreme southern part of Sonora. It is 145 miles southeast of
Gnaymas and about 60 miles from Alamos, the latter of which is almost
wholly dependent upon Agiabampo for supplies. After finishing the
work at Agiabampo, Dr. Palmer visited Carmen Island and returned
to Guaymas, where the trip to the State of Colima was plaijne^.
Manzanillo was reached by steamer December 1. This Village is a
small one, containing only about 500 inhabitants, has an excellent har-
bor, and is situated at the foot of a low range of mountains. It is the
seaport of Colima and is connected with that city by railway. Dr.
Palmer spent the month of December, 1890, about Manzanillo, collecting
chiefly in the mountains and in the low, marshy places about the bay.

He stopped here two weeks in the following year (March 2 to 16, 1891),
secuiing many plants not obtainable earlier in the season.
From Manzanillo he went to Colima, the capital of the state of the
same name. Almost a month was spent here (January 9 to February
6, 1891), and a second visit was made later, February 27 and 2S. One
day (February 15) was spent in Armeria, a small place half way between
Manzanillo and the city of Colima.
The following table will show the places visited, with the dates of col-
lection and the numbers of the plants:

The following interesting account of Colima and Manzanillo is taken
from the consular report for January, 1885, by Emil Mahlo, U. S. con.
sul at Manzanillo:
The state of Colinja lies between 18^* 30^ and 19° 28' north latitude, and 105^ to 107°
west longitude ; is bounded north by the state of Jalisco, east by the same state and
Micboacan, and south and southwest by the Pacific Ocean. It covers, probably, an
area of 4,000 square miles and is said to have between 70,000 and 75,000 inhabitanta.
All these figures are approximations, as no survey of the state has ever been made,
nor have they had an official census since 1871. The city of Colima may have 30,000
iuhabitants.
The topographical and geological features of the state are interesting. The groand
rises gradually from the coast, frequently intersected by detached, unconnected
ranges of the Cordilleras (Sierra Madre), forming between them terrace-like, fertile
plains which make Colima one of the richest agricultural states of Mexico.
The city of Colima, in an altitude of 1,450 feet, and.58 miles distant from its port
of Manzanillo, is situated almost in the center of one of the plains, which is proba-
bly 75 miles in circumference, traversed by several rivers and creeks.
Southeast and west of it are wooded mountains from 2,000 to 4,000 feet high, while
to the north the ground again at first rises gradually, when suddenly, proud and majes-
tic, the double volcano of Colima, about 20 miles distant, pushes itself high up above
the surrounding country into the limits of eternal snow.
From here radiate the almost impassable deep ** barrancas" which traverse the
state in its northern and northeastern portion, making the communication with the
interior of the Republic exceedingly difficult.
The base of the geological formation is granite ; it is in many places overlaid by
feldspathic porphyry, conjointly with limestone, gypsum, and shale. In and near
the barrancas porphyry, trachite, and calcareous conglomerate predominate. The
structure of the volcano of Colima is trachite.
Although entirely within the hot zone, this consular district can truly be said to
present all kinds of climates. From the snow of the volcano and the cold climate of
*The numbers between 1410 and 1810 represent Dr. Palmer's collection in the state
of Sinaloa, made in 1891. The identification of these plants is nearly completed
and will form the basis of a future paper.

the high Burronnding coantry through the temperate, beautiful climate of the ter-
raced slopes aud plateans, down through the semitropical to the tropical heat of the
shores of the Pacific, are represented the three principal climatic zones.
To this difference in the climate is due the great variety of the agricultural prod-
ucts grown in this district. There. are only two marked seasons — the rainy and
the dry season. The rains commence invariably at the end of May or the beginning
of June and terminate about the end of October.
I give herewith in a tabular form a r^sum^ of the annual rainfall as observed by
an intelligent private citizen of Colima during the years 1869 to 1880, inclusive.
This is, as far as I know, the first reliable compilation of meteorological observations
ever made on this coast of Mexico. The place of observation is the city of Colima.

It is to be regretted that no hygrometric observations have been made. The atmos-
phere contains considerable humidity the whole year round.
The maximum temperature in the shade, as observed, was, in July, 96^ F. ; the
minimum in February, 70^ F. ; greatest variation during the year, 26^; annual
mean, 83^.

Od the higher plateau in the interior the thermometer ranges from 54^ to 9(P.
While the climate of the port of Manzanillo is not very healthy, the city of Colima,
at an elevation of 1,450 feet, and other places farther inland and of a higher alti-
tude, are considered healthy places.
The state of Colima, small though it is, is one of the most fertile of Mexico, and
ia noted for the variety of agricultural products. It produces maize, rice, coffee,
sugar, cotton, cocoa, indigo, tobacco, the castor-oil bean, etc. ; and upon the higher
plateaus of Jalisco and'Michoacan wheat, maize, and potatoes are cultivated.
Of all the tropical and semitropical fruits which this part of Mexico produces I
will iiieution only the following: Cocoa, limes, oranges, mangoes, bananas, pineap-
ples, tamarinds, the chico (a very delicious fruit), the '^ aguacate," and the mamey.
Limes are exported from Manzanillo to San Francisco to a considerably extent; also
some pineapples, oranges, and mangoes.

In the small state of Colhsa «kiMe«v«r tw« faioidnd diSBiait kinda o£ usefol and
valuable woods are encountered; fine cabinet and dyewoods and woods iar con-
struction. The most valuable of these, as, for Instance, mahogany, cedar, ''pnao-
vera," granadillo, ^^tampinziran" palo-maria, palo-fierro, are articles of export to
Europe and to the United States. They grow in abundance all along the coast and
to a considerable distance inland. Among the dyewoods are the '' campeachy,'' and
palo Brazil. On the higher plateau fine oak and pine forests are met with. Fibrous
plants and trees also grow in abundance. Besides the majestic ''palma de coco"
we h^ve the useful palm-nut oil tree (palma de coquito de aceite) and other species
of palms.
The rubber tree grows wild in the forests of the lowland along the Pacific coast.
Some crude rubber is made, chiefly by the natives, and is exported to Europe and to
the United States.
I am under obligation to many botanists who have aided me in com-
paring my specimens with those owned or controlled by them.
Dr. George Vasey, late chief of the division of botany, gave me every
facility to carry on this work, and is wholly responsible for the deter-
mination of the grasses. The following list comprises the grasses
determined by him:

tlie following species :
Eupatorium diasectum, Forchhammeria pallida,
Fleischmannia rhodostylu. Heieropterys palmeri.
Forchhammeria waisani.
Dr. B. L. Eobinson, the present curator of the Harvard Herbarium,
lias again and again loaned specimens for comparison and study. He
lias also aided me in the study of Ayenia manzanilloana and GraUeva
pulmeri. Specimens of nearly all the new species have been submitted
to him.
Dr. Gasimir DeOandolle, of Geneva, has determined all the plants
of the genus Fiper^ including one new species and two varieties, as
Tvell as two new species of the genus Trichilia. The following are
the species examined by him:
Piper palmeri. Piper umbellatum.
Piper palmeri manzanilloanum. Piper unguiculatum long\folium.
Piper realefoanum, T'richilia palm^.
Piper tuberculatum, Trichilia coHmana,
I also submitted to him for examination a new species and variety of
my own, Quarea palmeri and Trichilia havanensis spattUata.
Mr. J. G. Baker, curator of the Herbarium at Kew, in addition to
suggesting the relationship of the Agave, identified for me Tillandaia
polysta^chya and T. recurvata.
Mr. W. Botting Hemsley, also of the Kew Gardens, has been espe-
cially helpful in definitely ascertaining that many of my new species
were clearly distinct from closely related ones, specimens of which are
to be found in several cases only at Kew, The following species were
submitted to him for determination or comparison :
Bumelia arhorescene, Ipomoea neUoni.
Colubrina arhorea, Kancinakia parvifolia,

The following species have been determined by Prof. A. Gogniaux:
Corallocarpus emetocatharticus. Luffa operculata intermedia.
Curcurbila radicans, Sicyoa aertuliferus.
Cyclanthera graoillima. Tibouchina schiedeana,
I have also received advice and assistance from the following well-
known specialists: Dr. F. Pax, of Berlin; Mr. R. A. Rolfe. of Kew;
Dr. K. Schumann, of Berlin; Dr. O. floflftnan, of Berlin; Dr. Hans
Schinz, of Zurich; and Dr. A. Engler, of Berlin.
iMr. William M. Cauby, Oapt. John Donnell Smith, and Mrs. Katha-
rine Brandegee have repeatedly loaned me specimens and aided, me in
many ways.
The following plants have been cultivated by Mrs. H. L. T. Wolcott
at Halifax, Mass., during the summer and fall of 1892 from seeds
obtained by Dr. Palmer:
Agave angustiasima,
Asclepiaa curassavica.
Henrya acorpioidee.
Hibiacua aabdariffa,
Iponicea bracteata.
Iponircea grayi.
Ipomcca nelaoni.
Ipomaa peduncularia.
Ipomosa quinquefolia.
Ipomaa umbellata,
Juaaieua octonervia,
Manihot angu6tiloba,
Nicotiana trigonophylla,
Portulaca atelliformia.
Theretia cuneifoUa.
It is proper to state here that this work of Mrs. Wolcott has been ot
great assistance to me in supplementing the herbarium si>ecimens
with fresh flowers, fruits, etc. She has entered into this work with
enthusiasm and has looked after the plants almost continually, sub-
jecting herself to no little outlay of time and money.

Capparla cynophallophora L. Sp. PI. ed. 2. i. 721 (1762). A loose-growing shrub,
10 to 12 feet high. Collected near the base of the mountains at Manzanillo, Jan-
uary 9 to February 6, 1891. No. 1068.
Capparla palmerl Rose, sp. nov. A compact shrub, 8 feet high: leaves oblong,
acute or obtuse, cordate at base, on very short, puberulent petioles, dull green
on both sides ; veins not prominent : petals white, 6 to 8 lines long : stamens
about 60, 15 Hues long, about equal to the stipe. — On the mountain sides.
Manzanillo, March 2 to 18, 1891. No. 1358.
Near C cynophalloph&ra, from which it differs in its more compact habit,
smaller flowers, and leaves not strongly reticulated nor shining, cordate at base.
Both species grow about Manzanillo. This species grows on the mountain sides,
while C, cynophallophora is found in the plain, between the mountain and lagoon.
The favorite habitat of the latter species is along the coast. It was collected
the latter part of January in fruit, while C. palmeri was collected in March in
flower.
Capparla sp. With the above species was sent a branch with immature flruit
which difiers iu its larger leaves, 3 to 5 inches long, acuminate and cuneate at
base, on petioles sometimes 15 lines long. No. 1358 a.
This plant very much resembles Jaquin's figure of C, frondosa; see Jacq. Stirp.
Amer. t. 104 (1763). It may not, however, belong to this genus.
Cratasva palmerl Rose, sp. nov. A diffuse shrub, 8 feet high : leaves 3-foliolat<e,
on petioles 2 to 4 inches long; leaflets oval to ovate, 2 to 4 inches long, slightly
acuminate, rounded or cuneate at base and more or less oblique, a little rough-
ened above and with crisp hairs beneath: inflorescense corymbose; flowers
on pedicels li to 2 inches long : torus 1^ lines long : sepals 4, oblong, 2 lines
long, acute : petals 4, cuneate at base, 3 lines long, not including the long slender
claw (6 to 10 lines long): stamens 16; filaments 2 to 2^ inches long: stipe of
ovary 2| to 3 inches long, that of fruit 3^ to 4 inches long : fruit pear-shaped,
l^to 2 inches long, obtuse, often slightly appendiculate. — Armeria, February 15,
1891. No. 1285.
This plant seems very distinct from any of the other species. Dr. B. L. Rob-
inson, who has examined it, says: ''It seems to have considerable in common
with C. tapia and C henthamij but differs from both in its scurfiness, in its smaller
less conspicuous lenticels, its short sublateral inflorescence and longer anthers.^'
Cratasvasp. A tree 40 feet high and 40 inches in diameter; fruit the size of a
lime. Manzanillo, December 1 to 31, 1891. No. 1013.
Called '^Zapatillo amarillo.'' This tree is taller than either C.gynandra or
C. tapia, the only two species attributed to Mexico. The leaves are more like
the former, but the fruit is larger than in that species.
Moxlaonla (f) sp. A small tree, 12 feet high, 3 inches in diameter: leaves oblong,
acute, perfoliate near the base, thick, shining and glabrous above, stellate-pubes-
cent beneath : fruit spherical, 1^ inches in diameter. Manzanillo, December 1
to 31, 1890, No. 1011.

The shape and size of the fmit resembles that of the species of CraUeta (Ko.
1013) collected here also. These specimens do not belong to any described
species, so far as I can learn, and the genus has not been reported previoiulT
from Mexico. It seems to belong in Morisonia^ bnt in the absence of flowers it
is better to refer it doubtfully, as above.
Forchhammerla pallida Liebm. Kjoeb.Yidensk. Meddel. 1853. 94 (1854). A small
tree, 15 to 20 feet high, 5 to 8 inches in diameter, with a large top and a great
profusion of leaves : leaves 2^ to 4 inches long, including the petioles (2 to 8 lines
long), 8 to 12 lines broad: calyx of male flowers minute or wanting: in flower
while in full leaf. On a sandy beach near ManzaniUo, March 2 to 18, 1891. No.
1333, in flower; No. 1348, with immature fruit; No. 1366, with leaves only.
The tree is somewhat taller with the leaves larger than in the type, but in other
respects it agrees with it. Only the male flowers were collected. This is a v«y
rare plant in herbaria and has not been collected for many years. It was first
seen and described by F. Liebmann, and is now collected the second time.
In habit and flowers the following new species is closely allied :

Forohhammeria watsoni Rose, sp. nov. A tree with large spreading top, 15 feet
high, lto5 feet in diameter; young branches finely pubescent: leaves coria-
ceous, narrowly to broadly linear, 3 to 5 inches long, 2 to 6 lines broad, more or
less puberulent, cordate at base, strongly reticulated beneath, with prominent
midrib and revolute margins: flowers in slender racemes 2 to 3 inches long:
stamens 18 to 22: fruit pear-shaped, orange-colored, but when fully ripe a
" purplish red," 5 to 6 lines long. — Common about Guaymas, Mexico, and at low
elevations in the cape region of L«wer California, Collected by Dr. Palmer in

1887 (No. 179); February 15, 1890 (No. 167); April 1 and 2, 1890, in flower; and
July 30, 1891, in fruit. Mr. Brandegee reports it from Lower California, and
has recently written me that he obtained it also at Guaymas in 1892.
For illustrations see Frontispiece and Pis. xxiv and xxv.
Considerable doubt has existed among our American botanists as to what this
]>lant is, owing to the insufficient material which has been collected. This is the
plant referred to under No. 167, on page 90 of this volume. A long note by Dr.
Sereno Watson with reference to the same may be found in.Proc. Araer. Acad-
xxiv. 82 (1889), and another by Mr. lirandegee in Proc. Cal. Acad. ser. 2. ii. 215
(1889). The ripe fruit is much eaten by birds.
I have named this remarkable tree in honor of tlie late Dr. Sereno Watson,
• who made a careful study of the plant when it first appeared in the collection of
Dr. Palmer in 1887.
In this species, which is clearly distinct from F.pallidaj the flowers appear just
after the leaves of the previous growing season have fallen and before the new
leaves are put forth. In F. pallida the flowers and leaves appear together: in
both cases the racemes of flowers arise in the axils of the old leaves. F. pallida
seems to be clearly dio'cious as described, while F. watsoni often has more or less
developed ovaries in the staminate racemes.
Forchhammeria has been variously ijlaced, sometimes in Cappaj-idaceWf some-
times in EaphorhiacetVy and once in Malvac€(v. It certainly does not belong to
the latter order nor does it seem to me that it can be placed m Euphorhiacew.
Prof. Kadlkofer has made a very careful study of the genus, and l^elieves that it
should be retained in Capparidacew^ where it was first placed by Liebmann.
BTXACEiE.
Cochlospermum hibiscoides Kunth, Syn. PI. ^^q. iii. 2U (1824). A tree 25 to 30
feet high. Common about Mazanillo, December 1 to 31, 1890. No. 1096. This is
a beautiful flowering tree, remaining in bloom for more than two mouths.
Biza orellana (?) L. Sp. PI. i.5I2 (1753). A small tree, 20 feet high, leavt-s mostly
rounded at base, rarely truncate: fruit broader than long. Along the bay oppo-
site the city of Manzanillo, December 1 to 31, 1890. No. 920.
Xylosma horrlda Rose, sp. uov. A tree 30 feet high, 8 inches in diameter; thorns on
the trunk large, often 3 to 6 inches long, branching: leaves 2A to 3^ inches
long, acute 6t slightly acuminate, broadly cuneate at base, bluntly serrate,
glabrous and shining: flowers hermaphrodite in short axillary racemes; sepals
small: glandular disk prominent: stamens about 20, much longer than the
sepals: ovary glabrous, prolonged into a slender style; stigmas 2: seeds 2 to 6,
oval in outline,— Manzanillo, March 2 to 18, 1891. No. 1340.
This species agrees with A', tw/ermerfta, collected in Panama, in having its
flowers racemose and hermaphrodite, but this latter plant is described as a
shntb 10 feet high, with large leaves, without thorns, with sepals nearly as long
as the stamens and with 3 stigmas. Its nearest alliance is probably with A'.
calophjfllum. I am indebted to Capt. .lohn Donnell Smith for comparing my
specimen with No. 1600 of Spruce, already referred to A', ealophyllum, of which
he writes : " Like your 1340, the spines are long and branched and the herma-
phrodite flowers are racemose and glands of disk numerous, but the leaves are
quite different."
Xylosma palmeri Rose, sp. nov. l>i(rcio-polygamous, glabrous, armed at the nodes
with slender straight spines 5 to 15 lines long: leaves about 2 inches long,
elliptical, cuneate at base, alternate, shining, dentate: flowers fasciculat^ly
grouped, 6 to 10 together: pedicels 4 to 5 line^i long: male flowers with 4 sepals,
20 to 26 stamens set within the disk, and no style: female or hermaphrodite

This species was collected four different times. All the S]>ecinieii8 are to
similar in habit and leaves that 1 am unable to separate them. Noe. 969 aini
969o have all the flowers staminate; in No. 930 they are pistillate or nearly »o,
while in 930a they are hermaphrodite and fertile. No. 930 is said to bt* a \mi^
shrub, while No. 969 is said to be a small shrub. Dr. Palmer states that the fruit
of No. 930 is red, while that of 930a is fleshy and black. In No. 930a the stylts
become cleft to the base in the fruit.

These plants bear numerous slender tubers similarly to I*, stdli/ormis, which
difters from this species in tlie color of the flowers, longer leaves, and a some-
what diflerent habit. Perhaj»8 it should be referred to /*. steW/ormis as a variety.

When I first studied this plant, more than two years ago, I considered it a
new si>ecieH of inssadnlay and so sent it to Mr. E. G. Baker, who was then pre-
paring his Synopsis of Malvea*. He reported it as the lUutardia hirsuH^orm of
Presl. While my plant does not answer to PresFs description in all respect*.
Mr. Baker is doubtless right in considering them the same. One thing, however,
seems certain, and that is that PresFs )dant belongs with Wisstadula rather than
with liastardiOf although Mr. Baker (see Jouru. Bot. xxxi. 68) still retains it in
the latter genus.
It differs from Ba^iardia in having three styles and carpels instead of fivr,
three ovules instead of one in each cell, and the car|>els constricted with a&
internal projection. It is like IViasadHlaf in having the peculiar carj>el structure
of that genus, but the carpels are rounded at the apex and only three in number.
The flowers are violet instead of yellow. While these differences may not be
surtici«»nt to establish a generic separation from UinHaduIa^ yet in the light of
other material which 1 have studied they seem to suggest a good subgenus.
Either there are 8«'veral valid species belonging to this group, or JT. himmti-
flora is an extremely variable 8[>ecies. One of these forms is Ahutilon ( Wi^Modmla)
cinvtHm Brandegee, Zoe, iii. 348 (1893), collected at Las Durasnillas, Souora, and
with it should probably be referred Palmer's No. 38 (1890) from Alamos. These
specimens hav*- small rounded leaves, merely acute, with short petioles, and the
pubescence is short and dense throughout except some pilose hairs on the calyx.
Another f<»rm, and it certainly seems specifically distinct from that above, is
Mr. Pringle'sNo. 4610 (1893) from the state of Jalisco, which he has rec*ently dis-
tributed as a new sj)ecies of Wissadula. The stems are covered with pilose hairs,
and the leaves, which arc much larger, gradually tai)er from near the base into
alongacumination. In the same distribution (No. 4578) is another form, near the
last, but with slightly different pubescence. Paluier's Colima plant has thinner,
broader leaves, with a broad, open sinus, and an abrupt acnmination. Still
another form is Palmer^s No. 1720 from Yniala, which has not yet l>een distributed.

Dr. Palmer writes as follows of this plant: " The natives call this plant * Tro-
uadora,' which signifies pojiping of the leaf. It grows about 8 feet high, acquir-
ing the greatest perfection upon rich bottom lands. It yields a strong, durable
fiber, which the Zotlahnacar Indians, who live 40 miles southeast of Manzanillo,
utilize in making hammocks, ropes, and carrying-nets, which are so durable that
they last from seven to ten years when in constant use."
According to Dr. Palmer, the fiber is prepared as follows: " When the plant is
mature, the lateral branches are cut away and the stems areburied in the mud at
the etlge of Lake Alcuzagiia (Lake of the Devil). Three to four days afterward the
plants are removed and washed, and are then ready for the stripping of the inner
bark or fiber. This is done in the following manner: The workman, standing
npright, with the stem which rests firmly npon the ground in his left hand, presses
the right thumb firmly upon the stick, and taking the fiber between the fingers,
he pulls steadily, bending gradually to the work until he falls upon his knees.
When the fiber is removed the stem rebounds and flies over the shoulder of the
operator, stri]>ped of half its bark. This seems a very slow process, but Jute was
formerly cleaned as slowly, and it was only after many and repeatecl trials that
machinery was perfected to perform this tedious work. Probably this, like jute,
if allowed to die before cutting, would become brittle, and fit only for paper
manufacture; therefore, in more northern latitudes it maybe best to cut the
plants before frost. Experiments will be necessary to ascertain the proper time
for cutting, the length of time it should be immersed,if water will accomplish
the same result as mud, rendering the bark soft and pliable."

be looked for further north. JIuh species had not been collected since the Mexi-
can Boundary Survey was published, until Pringlc and Nealley got it in 1890.

opposite the village. Manzanillo, December 1 to 31, 1891. No. 927.
This genus is not credited to Mexico by Mr. Hcmsley in Biol. Centr.-Amer.,nor
do I iind it reported anywhere from Mexico. The range of this si>ecies is given
as Brazil and (tuiana. It is not rei)re8ented in the National Herbarium, but
through the kindness of Dr. Robinson I have examined the three sheets from
the (iray Herbarium.
My specimens have broa<ler leaflets and the terminal one has a narrow cuneate
bsise, the peduncles longer, and the two larger sejuils broa<ler, and the pellucid
dots are not so conspicuous. Future study may show that this form constitutes
a good variety.

SIMARUBACE^:.
Quassia amara L. f. Siippl. Syst. Veg. 235 (1781). Only a single plant seen near
the edge of woods. Manzanillo, March 2 to 18. 1891. No. 1.338.
Xligiostachys bracteata Plan. Lond. Journ. Bot. vi. 30 (1847). A small tree, 10
feet high, with trunk 3 inches in diameter, bearing a large branching top;
leaflets very variable in size and shape: flowers "white" or yellow: petals
oblong, 4 lines long, cuncate at bane: ovaries 1 or 2, 2-9eede<l: seeds collateral:
fruit, a small drupe (f), 8 to 9 lines long: brown, glabrous, with a thin brittle
integument: seed oblong, 6 lines long: cotyledons fleshy, incumbent; albumen
none. Manzanillo, March 2 to 18, 1891. No. 1334.
Bentham and Hooker state that the ovules are frequently solitary. In the
few cases I have examined, the ovules were uniformly two. This species has not
before been collected in fruit. Galleotti'88i>erimens were only in flower and were
obtained from the coast of Oaxaca about the year 1839. 8o far as I can learn
this species- has not since been collected. The position of the genus is very
uncertain, as the history of it will show.
This genus was described by Planchon in Hooker's Lond. Journ. Bot. vi. 29
(1847). He places it next to Snriana ( Simarubaceo') andconsiders it a connecting
link between the orders Connaracew and Ochnaceo', Ho states that it has the
leaves of a Sapindua {Sapindacew), the aspect of a Gomphia, and the structure
of Suricna.
Walper in his Annalcs Bot. Syst. i. 202 (1848) refers the genus to Connaraoece,
and Bentham Hooker in Gen. Plant, i. 309 (1862) place it in Simaruhacece, but
speak of its doubtful athnities and suggest its probjiblo reference to J^oeaceat.
Baillou in Adinsonia x. 42 (1871) is also inclined to refer it to this latter order.
Hemsley in Biol. Centr.-Amer. i. 173, retains it in Simarubacecv.
Baillon also refers to the genus in Hist, des PI. iv. 408 (translation iv. 415) and
Diet. Bot. iii. 738.

Prof. Kadlkofer considers that this genus belongs to Simarvbacea^ rather than
to Sapindac€(F, to which it has generally been referred.

Zizyphua mezicana Kose^ Hp. uov. A tree 25 feet liigii, 9 inches iu diameter, with
large, dense top; spines straight au<l Hcattered; leaves oblong, 2 to 3 inches
long, strongly 3-nerved, coriaceous, glabrous, obtuse or retuse, cuneute or
rounded at base, crenately toothed; petioles 3 to 8 lines long; peduncle 6 lines
long; flowers 8 to 10 in a small umbel; peduncle and pedicels (as well as young
leaves and branches) a little pubescent: calyx nearly glabrous, 5-parted: petals
5, small: stamens 5: fruit drupaceous, 6 to 8 lines in diameter.— On hills about
Armeria, February 27 and 28. No. 1278.
This species seems nearest Z. gnatenialensis, but it is a small tree, with leaves
commonly cuneate at base, and longer petioles and peduncles. Mr. Ilemsley writes
me that the species is quite distinct. The fruits are gathered by the Mexicans
and sold in the markets by the dozen. They are used m the place of soap and
are highly i)rized for washing woolen goods. They are called " Amole."

Called " Margareta." The twigs and leaves are much used in cases of fever,
etc.
Karwinskia parvifolia liose,sp. uov. Large bush, 5 to 10 feet high, glabrous through-
out: leaves opx)osite or subopposite, small, oblong, or linear-oblong, about 1
inch long on short petioles, obtuse, rounded, or somewhat tapering at base, the
margin somewhat black-dotted ; stipule minute : pedicels short; peduncles short
or none : stigma 2-lobed : fruit mostly single, axillary, black, 2-celled. — Agia-
bampo, October 3 to 15, 1890. No. 773.
For illustration see PI. xxxi.
This plant is not in flower, but it has all the iiulications of being a Kancins-
kia. It differs from K, humboldliana in its much smaller leaves, the fruit more
tapering at base, its larger disk, etc.
Mr. Hemsley writes me that it is not Coulter's (No. 3) from Sonora, nor is it
represented in the Herbarium at Kew.
Colubrina arborea (f) Brandegee, Zoe, iv. 401 (1894). Along the edge of thick

Dr. Palmer says this tree has the habit of the weeping willows. Its long
hanging branches are loaded with fruit. I have referred this plant as above
' with some doubt. I at first described it as a new species, but since then Mr.
Brandegee has described a species from Lower California under the above name,
to which my jilant probably belongs.

Although I have not seen this species, yet this plant is probably rightly
referred. Most of the upper leaflets are small (one-half inch long) as described,
yet they are often 1^ inches long. Dr. Palmer writes of it as follows: "One of
the most attractive of plants. It is upright and with a compact symmetrical
top. It is a free bloomer and the flowers are a beautiful yellow with brown
patches, and it is worthy of cultivation."
In 1891 1 sent seed to Kew where it was ]>lanted antl proves to be a most prom-
ising plant. Sir Joseph Hooker has recently figured and redescribed it in Curtis's
Botanical Magazine (vol. xlix. pi. 7306).
The following note is taken from the above arti<'le :
''A very handsome greenhouse plant described as suftruticose, but, though
copiously branched, harbaceous as grown in the Koyal Gardens, Avhero it forms
a conspicuous winter feature in the Begonia house, flowering freely from Decem-
ber to March and attaining a yard in height. It was discovered by the late Dr.
•Sin<'lair, surgeon in H. M. Jilossom, during the surveying voyage of Capt. Beochey,
at Acapulco on the west coast of Mexico, and also in the province of Jalisco by
other orticers of the shij), and on the Volcano de Fuego in Guatemala, altitude
5,300 feet, by Mr. Salviu, F. R. S., and at Mazatenango, by Bernoulli."
The Garden, in its issue of March 25, 1893, contains the following note respect-
ing this plant:
^* Crotalaria lonyiroslraia may be seen in bloom in the stove at Kew. It is a
thoroughly useful plant for flowering in the winter months, and the specimen
there has kept up a gay display for over two months, notwithstanding the fogs,
which are peculiarly trying to stove subjects. This species is still in full bloom,
bearing at the ends of the long slender shoots clusters of large, bright yellow
pea-shaped flowers, which make a great show of color in the winter season. It
is easily propagated by cuttings, and all Avho wish for something distinct and
attractive in their stoves during the so-called dark months of the year, should
make good note of it."

4 to 5 lines long ; stipules ovate-acuminate, early deciduous : the bractlets

This species was doubtfully referred to Brya
by Dr. Watson in the Proc. Amer. Acad. xxii.
406. The material from which his description
was drawn was only in flower, although speci-
mens in the National Herbarium of the same
distribution (Palmer's 1886) have nearly ma-
ture legumes. In the above description I have r, . «. ,

the original. This species seems to belong very
clearly to Jischyuomene rather than to Brya. Dr. B. L. Robinson has independ-
ently reached the same conclusion. J'^ftchynomnie ditters from the latter in hav-
ing the staminal tube cleft below as well as above, the bractlets appressed to
the calyx, leaflets more numerous and appendiciilate, stipules not spinescent,
and joints often more than 2. In all the above points my specimens agree with
ACschynomene. Brya also has large yellow flowers. Two of the three species of
Brya have single leaflets and in B. eberus the leaflets are evergreen.

referred it without specific name.

This plant is called "Palo alej<».'* The bark is used by fishermen, who crush
it and throw it into the water to stun fish.
Apparently very common on mountain sides both at Colima and Manzanillo.
Its published range is now extended much farther northward. According to Mr.

Caesalpiuia (Coulteria) platyloba Watson, I'roe. Anier. Acad. xxi. 425 ( IK?;^). A
shrub, 8 feet high, glabrous: leaves twice pinnate; pinna* 2 to 4 i)airH; leaflets
6 to 9 pairs, oblong, acute, 1 to 2 inches long, glabrous: racemes axillary, 3 to 4
inches long: lower 8e]>al pectinate-timbriate: petals yellow: stamens hairy at
base, about the length of the petals: pods indehiscent, glabrous, 3 to 6 inches
long, 10 to 15 lines broail. Along the sandy beach a few feet above tide water.

This seems to be the plant that Dr. Watson referred as above while qaestionin^
its generic position. My plant ditlers in several minor details, and especially
in the length of the pods. Flowering specimens are now for the first time col-
lected and show clearly that the plant belongs to this genus and to the section
CoulUria. The specimens ought to be compared with the South American spe-
cies (\ tinvtoria, to which it is certainly closely related. Here, perhaps, may be
referred Coulter's No. 873 from Ziraipan, citod by Mr. Hemsley in Biol. Cent.-
Amer. vol. i.
Caesalpinia (Pomariaj sp. Shrub, 15 feet higli, loosely branching: lea ves 2-pinnat^ ;
pinnu' 2 to 4 pairs; leatlets, 2 to 3 pairs, oblong or oval, obtuse, nuecjnat at

lary, 5 to 10 inciies long; pedicels 4 to 5 lines long: sepals 5, pubernlenl,
strongly imbricated, obtuse, 4 about equal, the fifth exterior and longer: petals
5, yellow, covered more or less with short stipitat<3 glands, 4 to 5 lines long:
stamens 10, woolly at base, a little longer than the corolla: legume falcate, nar-
rowed downward, 2 inches long, densely covered with stipitate glands, 3- to
4-seeded: seed 4 lines broad. Manzanillo, March 2 to 18, 1801. No. 1397.
This species resembles C. palmei-i in its legumes, but in foliage approaches
r. wcjricana.
Dr. Palmer also collected a form closely related to this IVom Colima, but with
larg^, straight pods, less tapering at base, leaflets smaller and often 4 pairs,

This species could only be collected in poor condition,
and only a few leaves and no flowers were obtained.
It is referred here, owing to its close resemblance, to

Fio 6. — Leucama inacroearpa; a, the torminal pair of leaflets ; h, n Hectioii or tlic legume.
This is a rare species and has been jioorly understood in this country. This
confusion has been due to two factors: First, the absence of the si)ecie8from all
our collections, and, second, because Mr. Bentham referred to it (Trans. Linn.
Soc. XXX.) an undescribed species, which proves to be a species of Alhizzia. I
should state here that it is through th<' kindness of Mr. Hemsley, of Kew, that
I have been able to clearly fix ujion this as the true L. macrophylla.
The pods described above wore detached, and while a little huij'or than the
type seem to be the same. They may, however, as suggested by Mr. Hemsley,
belong to a dift'erent 8j)ocie8.

Acad. xxii. 409, collected by Palmer at Rio lUanco, 8tate of Jalisco, August 18^
(No. 320). The flowering specimens of No. 320 are made the type of this species.
Here undoubtedly belongs Pringle's No. 3848, from the same State, collected in
1891 and distributed under L. macrophylla, but the name is corrected in Mr.
Pringle's list for 1892. Palmer's No. 981 from Manzanillo (December 1 to 31, 1891 )
is also referred here, but with less confldence. The specimens are only iu fmit
and the foliage and legumes are so similar to Mr. Brandegee's JIbiszia occidentalim
that without flowers it is next to impossible to separate the two. Palmer's Jalisco
plant, which is undoubtedly a true Leucama^ has pods exactly like tho^e from
Manzanillo.
Mr. Ilemsley has compared these specimens with the type at Kew and decided
that it is not the L. macrophyUa of Bentham. The leaves are in fact much
larger than in that species.

Dr. Palmer collected this plant in 1887, but it is not reported in Dr. Watson's
list. Roots were sent to the Department in 1887 and were grown for some time
in the greenhouse, but finally died.
Dr. Palmer says that the large roots are cut into thin slices and dried, and are
in this form found in the markets, haviug various medical uses.

This is the Bame as Palmer's No. 416 from Jalisro^ n* ferred as abore by Dr.
Gray.
In the same collection (No. 462) is a specimen which Dr. Gray referred to C.
calooephala DC. This was also collected by Pringle in 1890 (No. 3256) from neix
the same locality. Both the latter specimens seem to differ from specimens di»-
tributed by Capt. .John Donnell Smith under the name (\ calocepkala. Mr.
Smith's specimens have hirger and more strongly veined leaves, and larger
calyx (3 lines long) and corolla (4 to 5 lines long), the latter blue: Palmers and
Pringle's Jalisco specimens have the calyx H to 2 lines long, the corolla with ven-
slender tube, 2 to 3 lines long, and purple or rose-colored.
1 am inclined to think that Mr. Smith's specimens are the true C. calocepkala,
while the latter belongs to an undescribed species.

The finding of this plant by Dr. Palmer brings to light an old but little-
known species. It is probably not in any American herbarium, nor have they
it at Kew. It has only twice before been collected, first by Thaddaeus Haeuke
in the latter part of the last century — about 1790 or 1792. It was probably
obtained on his trip with Luis Nde from Acapulco to the City of Mexico. It was

(reprint, 20) and Eng. &. Prantl, Pflanzenf. iv. abt. 5. 390 (1894). A new genus of
Helianthoidew. Heads heterogamous, radiate, few-flowered; ray-flowers sterile,
in 1 row; disk-flowers hermaphrodite, fertile. Involucre oblong; bracts in 4
series, broad and obtuse; receptacle very small, almost flat; corolla of ray-
flowers without style, spreading, 2-lobed or merely notched : corolla of disk-
flowers regular, 5-toothed; proper tube short; throat tubular: stamens entire
at base; style-branches short, somewhat flattened, with an ovate, acute tip:
akeues a little flattened, cuneate-oblong : pappus none. — Shrubby, much
branched: leaves opi)08ite, slender and entire: heads in small compact cymes
terminating the branches.
For illustration see PI. xxxu.
This genus seems to belong to Benthnm and Hooker's third section of Verbe-
sinece and near Varilla, although it differs from it quite widely.
Mr. Canby in a letter to me points out the close resemblance in habit of this
species to Gymnosperma, but of course its opposite leaves and bracts on the
receptacle keep it distinct from this genus.
Dr. O. Hoffinann, of Berlin, has placed the genus next to Gymnolomia^ from
which it differs in its cylindrical involucre and very unequal bracts.
Aglabampoa congesta Rose, 11. cc. A loose-growing shrub, 4 to 5 feet high, quite

3-nerved, a little hispid on both sides, 2 to 6 inches long: heads (sessile or on
short pedicels) 3 lines long: involucral bracts 3- to 5-uerved, coriaceous with
green tips, oblong and obtuse and with long, oily glands on the back : rays 5,
yellow, oval to oval-oblong, 1| to 2 lines long: disk-corolla 2 lines or less long
with a very short proper tube: akones black, glabrous, 1^^ lines long. — Common

This is the S. alba of Hemsley's Biol. Cent.-Amer., but differs from the descrip-
tion in the number and shape of the involucral bracts. Fendler's No. 166 from
the Isthmus of Panaoia seems to be the same species. S, paeudo-acmella var. of
Capt. Wilkes' Kxped. (probably from the East Indies) seems very near our
plant.
Cosmos sulfiireus Cav. Ic. i. 56, t. 79 (1791). About 4 feet high, with a rough
pubescence : leaves hi- to tri-pinnatifid, often 12 inches or more long, with rachis
and midrib hispid; ultimate pinna, entire or 2- to 3-t'Oothed: peduncles 7 to
10 inches long: bracts of outer involucre 2 lines long, ovate-linear, 3-nerved ;
inner involucre, twice longer, scarious: rays 6 to 8, oblong; 6 to 9 lines long,
3- toothed, ** amber" or deep orange: akenes 8 to 9 lines long, including the long
beak, upwardly scabrous and with 2 spreading awns. Not common, and at the
time of collection almost past blooming. Colima, January 9 to February 6, 1891.
No. 1222.
This species is the same as the one collect-ed by Palmer in Jalisco (1886) and
referred as above by Dr. Gray.

plate of the same. The style tipe are peculiar for the genns, being long and
filiform.
I have grown this species in my grounds ficom seed. It is a rank, weedy look-
ing plant, with rather coarse foliage. Some of the larger specimens reach the
height of 7 feet. None of the plants bloomed out of doors, bat they had budded
when killed by frost the Ist of November. A small specimen was saved and
tran8plani«;d to the greenhouse and flowered about the middle of December.
The flowei-s are very attractive and are fully 2 inches in diameter. The chief
objection to tne plant is its very late blooming, being several weeks later than
the commonly cultivated species. The flowering continues for several months.

Tridax dubia Rose, sp. dov. A slender and more or less procumbent herb, somewhat
hirsute : leaves opposite, ovate to lanceolate, serrate : inflorescence a few-flowered
corymb; pedicels variable in length, sometimes 2 to 3 inches long: involncral
bracts 5, distinct, herbaceous, ovate, acute: rays yellow, 5, fertile, 3- toothed;
disk flowers perfect, fertile: pappus of 10 oblong, obtuse, ciliate-pectinate
palae : akenes slightly flattened dorsally, a little pilose.— Along the river bot-
tom ; not common. Colima, January 9 to February 6, 1891. No. 1173.
For illustration see PI. xxxiii.
This species is doubtfully referred to Tridax, from which it differs in its less
simple inflorescence, involucral bracts in a single series, and fertile rays, and in
the character of the pappus.
Mr. Wm. M. Canby, who has been very much interested in the plants, writes
me as follows: ^'The plant clearly belongs where you place it, viz, in subtribe
GaliuBogetB, of tribe Heliauihoide(e. Bentham and Hooker give but 7 genera
in this subtribe and this plant is nearly related to but two of these, Galinsoga and
Tridax f and does not fully agree with either. On the whole, however, it seems
to me to be sufficiently near Tridax to be taken into it. In the detailed generic
description of Bentham and Hooker is the phrase concerning the pappus of
' aristato-acuminataB.' If this were left out you would not have much difficulty
in bringing your plant int-o it. Now, in Tridax trUobata (which has been put under
GalinBoga by good botanists) you have a pappus which is reaUy nearer that of
your plant than of other species of Tridax. Bentham and Hooker suppress, I
think, with reason, all the genera which have been found to accommodate spe-
cies not just Tridax or Qalinsoga and unite them with the former. Your plant
* is much like the original species of Tridax ( T. procumhenB) in the receptacle,
chaff, and scales of the involucre. It approaches T, trilobata in the pappus.
It seems to me that the simple fact of its having a definite number of pappi
which are only ciliate-pectinate instead of plumose-ciliate and which are not
aristate should not take it out of a genus in which there is as much variation
in species as in Tridax.**

A comparison of these specimens
with those referred to A. glaucescene
from the United States shows that the latter belong to a different though closely
allied species.
A. glaucescenn was described and figured by H. B. K. in Nov. Gen. et Spec, iii., p.
190, t. 227, from plants collected between Acapulco and La Verta de la Moxonera.
The following note is from the Bot. Gaz. xvii. 193.
Dr. Gray in Syn. Fl., ii. 92. refers the J.«M?/iraii/u Torrey, Bot. Mex. Bound,
p. 162, to this species. The United States species, however, is clearly distinct from
A.glauctscenSf and should be referred to A, elata Benth. Dr. Gray, indeed, in
the Syn. Flora, Suppl. p. 407, considers the two to be the same species; but in the
light of this new material I am convinced we have two good species, although
closely related.
A. elata Benth. has oblong or oval leaves, rounded at the apex, very similar to
those of A. obt usifo lia . •
A, glaucescena has much longer and narrower leaves, oblong to linear-oblong
and acute : the flowers are much larger in A. eJatay and the hoods are spreading,
exposing the gynostegium; in A. glaucescentf the hoods are longer instead of
shorter than the gynostegium, and erect and connivent. There is also a good

branches, which was entirely hidden by it. I do not find that this plant is
reported from Mexico, but it seems to be common there, and as it corresponds
fairly well with the description and with a single specimen from Brazil, 1 have
no hesitancy in referring it as above.

This species belongs to Choisy *s sub-section Multilobce of Stropkipomaa ns laid
down in DC. Prod. vol. ix. As considered by others, it would be referred to the
section Operculina; for although the capsule is not strictly circumscisaile, y^
it is clearly diflereutiated into an upper and lower part. A. Peter in Engler and
Prantl, Pflanzenf. keeps Operculina distinct from Ipomoea on account of tho cap-
sule, but I do not find that this character holds in the Mexican species. /. rkod^
calyx G*"ay has a very difl'erent leaf and corolla from my species, but the capsule
has very thin valves throughout, irregularly breaking apart.

Tabebuia donnell-amithii Rose, Bot. Gaz. xvii. 418, t. 26 (1892) A tree 50 to ~
feet high, often 4 feet in diameter : leaves palmately compound on long pedunelr-
5 to 10 inches long; leaflets 7, very variable in size (the largest on petiolulee I
to 3^ inches long), oblong to ovate, acuminate, rounded or truncate at base,
serrate, glabrate in age, 2 to 10 inches long, often 3 inches broad: flowers
arranged in a large terminal panicle of small cymes, 8 inches long, with short
glandular-pubescence throughout : cymes few-flowered, with deciduons scariou*
bracts; pedicels 6 lines long: calyx closed in bud, deeply cleft and two-lipped
in flower, 6 lines long: corolla yellow, tubular, 5-lobed ; tube 1 to 1^ inches loo.^:
limb 1^ inches broad: stamens 4, included, didynamous; filaments incurvetl
glabrous except at base; anther cells glabrous, oblong; sterile filament 1| line?
long: ovary sessile: pods 12 inches or more long, 10-ribbed, glandular-pubescent
and loculicidally dehiscent : seeds in 2 rows. Common on the mountains about
Colima and cultivated about the town. Collected by Capt. John Donnell Smith,
at Cuyuta in the department of Escuintla, at an altitude of 200 feet, April
1890, No. 2070; and, also, by Dr. Edward Palmer, at Colima, January 9 to Feb-
ruary 6, 1891. No. 1098.
This is said to be one of the most beautiful trees of Mexico, and is called
" Primavera." The flowers are of a beautiful golden yellow, produee<l in great
abundance, and generally appearing before the leaves. The trees are often large,
sometimes 4 feet in diameter, and the wootl very valuable. The trunks are rni
iuto logs about 12 feet in length and shipped from Manzanillo, in the State of
Colima, to the Unite<l States, principally to Cincinnati and San Francisco, where
they are much used for cabinetwork and veneering. The tree is very com-
mon in the lower part of the department of Escuintla; it is tall and slender,
usually leafless, and with the profuse delicate yellow flowers standing out agniast
the sky like golden clouds.
The following note is from a letter of J. D. Smith, January 7, 1892 : ** The tre«
were too branchless for my servant to climb, too stout for him to fell with hi»
machete, and too high for me to discern what manner of leaves were those which
occasionally showed themselves among the flowers. My flowers were all picked
up on the ground. I think there must be many trees in those countries of which
botanists have not been able easily to collect specimens, and which, therefore,
remain unknown."
I have not been able to place in any known species this interesting tree. U
seems curious that a tree so widely distributed, of such attractive flowers, aod
of some commercial importance should have remained unknown to botanists.
The species, while not agreeing in all respects with Tabfibuiaf answers better to
this than to any other known genus. In its inflorescence and ribbed pods it if
more like Godmannia and CyhistaXy but does not agree in other particulars.
Since the above description of this tree was published by me in the Botanical
Gazette I have written to several New York dealers in imported woods and learn
that they are well acquainted with it. I give two of these letters. Mr. John
R. Graham wrote, under date of December 29, 1892:

" Replying to yonr postal, ' Primavera ' or ' white mahogany ' are the two names
for the same wood, which grows in Mexico. It is used largely in the manufac-
ture of fine furniture and interior decoration. We handle it in the logs and
lumber, also veneers. Worth from 12 cents per foot in the log to 15 to 25 cents
iu lumber."
William E. Uptegrove & Bro. write, under date of December 29, 1892:
** We do handle * Primavera' or * white mahogany.' The two names are used
for the same wood. The former is correct. It is a native of Mexico. That
growing on the west coast is the best. It is used only moderately and costs
somewhat higher than ' red ' mahogany. We do not consider it a desirable
cabinet wood."
A condensed account of the original description is given iu Hardwood (vol.
iii. 21), by Geo. B. Sudworth.
Prof. C. S. Sargent, in Garden and Forest (vol. vi, p. 12), says :
*' In the December issue of The Botanical Gazette there is a figure reproduced
from one of Mr. Faxon's drawings of a species of Tahchuiay a native of Mexico
and Central America, which Prof. Rose, of the Department of Agriculture,
describes as a new species, and which he dedicates to Mr. John Donnell Smith,
of Baltimore, its discoverer. For the last twelve or fifteen years a handsome,
light-colored wood has been imported into the market of Sau Francisco from the
west coast of Mexico, and is said to have been produced by a tree called * Prima
vera.' This wood, of late years, has been quite extensively brought into the
Eastern markets under the name of 'white mahogany,' and is now considered
here one of the most valuable and useful of all cabinet woods. Its origin has
long remained unknown, and although there may be still some doubt as to the
identity of white mahogany with the ' Pyimavera ' of Manzanillo, Prof. Rose's
note gives the indication of the direction in which further investigations of the
origin and source of supply of this wood should be made."

Parmentiera sp. A small tree, 12 feet high with horizontal branches: leaves in
fascicles of 2 to 5 subtended by a single spine; leafiets 3, obovate, obtuse,
entire or toothed towards the apex; petioles slightly winged, about the length
of the leafiets: pods 10 inches long, yellow. Iu shady woods about Manzanillo,
March 2 to 18, 1891. No. 1347.
This species difi*ers certainly from P. cereifera and P. eduliSf which by some are
considered the only two species; from the former it diff'ers in its pods, acuminate
leaflets. and calyx: from the latter, in its pods, etc. Miers considered there
were six species; of these it seems nearest to P.foliolosaj but differs in being
spiny; P. aculeata has similar spines, but its leafiets are often simple; in P.
lanoeolata all the leafiets are simple ; P. alata has very properly been referred to
the genus Crescentia.
Mr. John Donnell Smith has since written me that he has in his collection two
numbers which he considers the same as mine, which he has referred to P.
edulia.

Dr. Palmer's notes state that the flowers are sulphur-yellow, but this must be
a mistake; in the herbarium specimens they area dark violet.
In this species only the 2 anterior stamens are developed, but there are 3 small
scaly hairy staminodia at the base of the corolla.

The seed is called ^'Chnna" at Colima and Manzanillo, but elsewhere it is
known as *' Chia granda." The '*Chia" proper is the fruit of a Salvia. This
species is collected in considerable quantities and sold in the markets under the
above names. With sweetened water it makes a cool, refreshing drink, much
used by the sick. The roots are also gathered and used medicinally.

This is a medical plant much used by the Mexicans and sold in the market at
Colima. It is probably cultivated in the gardens, but it was not seen by Dr.
Palmer in any of his excursions.
The specimen from southern Mexico, doubtfully referred by Mr. Hemsley to
D. parviflonnUf could hardly be confused with ^his species.

'* Crypiocarpua (1) mpHaUiB Watson [Proc. Amer. Acad. xxiv. 71 (1889)]. Fresh
bpcciniens of this doubtfully named species, collected by Dr. Palmer at Guaymae,
show it to be a form of the widely-distributed and very variable Pimnia aculeata.
It does not diff'er essentially from the var. UirsatiBsima Schmidt. Fl. Bras. xiv. 354^
distinguished by its blunt obovate leaves and dense, short-hirsute pubescence. The
want of spines (they are few on these specimens also), the unusual form of the leaves,
and the presence of only staminate flowers served to effectually disguise Dr. Pal-
mer's original specimens."— 8. W.

The following note has been sent me by Dr. Hans Schinz in regard to this
8i>ecies :
'' 1 have to thank you very much for having sent me the very interesting
Amaraniacecp. No doubt your Celoaia monosperma is a very interesting and puz-
zling plant, but I also take it for a Cehsia. Unfortunately, most of the flowers
are destroyed by a little beetle, so that I could not make out for sure if the
anthers are 2-celled or 1-celled, but as you say in your description that they are
2-cellcd it can not be anything else than a Celoaia, The Velotia monosperma does
not stand alone, for the different species that were formerly united nuder the
name Lagrezla generally have but one or Iwo seeds.''

Colima, January 9 to Febniary 6, 1891. No. 1208.
This plant is referred as above, although I have not seen other specimens of
the species.
Very little is known of this species. It was probably collectcil by Bonpland,
and is No. 3r>4 of Ghiesbreght. The localities from which these collectors obtained
the j»lant is not known. Perhaps Ghiesbreght obtained his specimens from
near this locality. He seems to have visited Colima, although I find very few
species of this region credited to him. A type specimen is said to be in Herb.

Moquin was uncertain whether the utricle was circnmscissile or not. My
specimens, while not quite mature, clearly show that the utricle is circumsciasile.

1 have referred my plant as above without having seen any si>ecimen8 of that
sx>ecie8. It differs from the description in some slight details and it has not
been collected so far north before.
The foliage is rather coarse, bnt Dr. Palmer writes that the white flowers are
very attractive and he thinks it would be a good plant for ornamental cultiva-
tion.

These two species are very similar, but the former may be distinguished from
the hitter by its larger, thicker, glabrous leaves and sesnile fruit.

LAURACE2.
SasBafridium maorophyllum Ro»e, sp. nov. A diffase shrnb with numerous stems,
15 feet high: leaves alternate, oblong, 6 to 10 inches long, 1 to 3 inches broad,
cuneate at base, acuminate, '* emerald-green,'' shining, strongly veined beneath;
petioles 3 to G lines long: panicles axillary and terminal, 4 to 8 inches long,
inclnding the peduncle; pedicels 3 to 5 lines long: flowers white, sweet-scented,
5 to 6 lines in diameter: calyx 6-parted, the outer considerably larger: perfect
stamens 9, 4-celled, 4-valved, sessile; the three inner with a pair of glands at
base; staminodia 3, capitate. — Very abundant in the wet bottom of a small
creek on the opposite side of the bay from Manzanillo, December 1 to 31, 1890.
No. 1033.
The only described species is S. veraguense from Nicaragua, although there are
said to be 2 undescribed species from South America. My species differs from
the above in baving nearly all the parts much larger, especially the leaves; the
latter are also acuminate, with stronger lateral veins, but the veinlets are not so
strongly or regularly reticulated.
Meissner, in the original description of the genus (DC. Prod. xv. 171), as well
as Benth. and Hook. (Gen. Plant, iii. 160), states that the berry is unknown.
Charles Wright, however, collected mature fruit in Nicaragua as long ago as
1853-'56. The berry is oblong, glabrous, 6 to 8 lines long. By some mistake
these specimens of Wright's were distributed under the name *' Daphnidium
veragiiense Meissu."
Here I am inclined to refer J. N. Rovirosa's Nos. 35 and 15, although they have
somewhat smaller leaves, and the No. 35 is said to be a tree 8 to 10 meters high.
Rovirosa's specimens are from Tabasco and were collected November 6 and 20,
1887, respectively.

Tliis is a very peculiar Avalypha. It diff'ers from all other species which £
have seen in its staminal spikes being aments or catkins. They appear as scaly
buds and seem to have been formed at the close of the last growing season. The
flowers seem to develop just before the leaves appear. The position of this spe-
cies in the genus is doubtful; it is perhaps near J. longipes, which has similar
pedicels and ovaries in the female flowers, but the latter has the flowers arranged
In panicles.
The plant has much the habit of the hazelnut, and hence the specific name.
The followhig note is taken from F. Pax's letter of December 28, 1892 :
"Indeed, it is a very peculiar plant, not allied with any other species of
Joalypha, There is no doubt that the plant shows the greatest affinity with
the genus Acalypha: the flowers are identical with those of Acalypha^ but the
inflorescence is very unlike. I do not know any other species of Acalypha

Ficus fascictilata Watson, Proc. Amer. Acad, xxi v. 78 (1889). A tree, 30 feet high,
bearing a widely spreading top ; trunk 2 feet in diameter : leaves often 5 inches
long on petioles 1 inch long. Colima, January 9 to February 6, 1891. No. 1119.
This seems to be the same as Mr. Watson's species although the leaves are
considerably larger. Mr. Watson afterwards thought that hie species was pos-
sibly referable to F, sapida.
This wild fig is called "Camichin." The fruit, which is small, is sweet and
juicy, and is much used by the people of this region.
Ficus sp. Tree, 20 feet high with trunk 1 foot in diameter, and bearing a widely
spreading top ; branchlets pubescent, especially on the stipular lines : leaves
oblong, 3 to 5 inches lont;, 2 to 2^ inches broad (on petioles 9 to 20 lines long)
obtuse, rounded at base, plnnately veined: fruit sessile, in pairs, small, 3 lines in
diameter: involucre 3- to 4-lobed; lobes obtuse, puberulent. At the base of the
mountains growing among the rocks. Manzanillo, March 2 to 18, 1891. No.
1387. Pringle's No. 3887 (1891), from Barranca, near Guadalajara, is the same
plant. It was distributed as F. iecohilcimSf from which it differs in its smaller,
sessile fruit, 3- to 4-lobed involucre, pubescent stems, eto. It is, perhaps, a new
species.

Hymenocallis sp. Scape strongly compressed, 12 to 15 inches high: leaves
(appearing with the flowers), about 6, 10 to 20 inches long by 10 to 14' lines
broad, glaucous : scape 3- to 6-flowered ; spathe 2-leaved ; bracts ovate, mem-
branaceous, 2 inches long: perianth tube 4 to 5 inches long, green; lobes 2.} to
3i inches long, linear, white: staminal cup funnel form, 10 lines long, 10 lines

green, a little longer than the stamens ; cells with 2 ovules. P*robably collected
near Agiabampo, October 8 to 15, 1890. No number.
Only bulbs were collected by Dr. Palmer. I had these planted and twospeci-
mens flowered during the summer of 1891 ; none flowered during 1892, and only
a single specimen flowered during 1893. It is a very delicate little plant and
well worthy of cultivation.
This species is near H. harrisianaj but the leaves are glaucous, and not nearly
so wide, of different shape, and with difterent tip.

9 to 10 lines long. Growing among rocks with little soil, along the margin of the
bay at Manzanillo, December 1 to 31, 1890. No. 1070.
I have given a full description above, as the original reference is very incom-
plete.
The following note appeared in Garden and Forett of January 4, 1893 :
** It will be of considerable interest to the readers of Garden and Forest to
know that Dr. Edward Palmer has collected what seems to be the little-known
Atjare anguBtissima (see figure 11). The plant is entirely unknown to the
gprowers of Agaves^ and is only represented in herbaria by the type specimens
in the Engelniann Herbarium at the Shaw School of Botany, St. Louis.
''The following note from Dr. Engelmann, published in the Transactions of the
Academy of Sciences, St. Louis (vol. iii, p. 306), contained all the information
that we previously ha^l respecting this plant :
" * Dr. Gregg collected near Ocotillo, direction of Tepic, in western Mexico,
leaves of a plant which he says bears a scape 5 to 6 feet high, and which,
like many narrow-leaved Agaves and Yuccas y was called " Pamilla" by the natives;
unfortunately no flowers came along, but as it seems to be an nndescribed Agate,
it may be designated as A, angusiissima; leaves 2 to 3 feet long, 2 and 1^ lines
wide, convex on the back, lilamentose on the margin, narrowed into a short {2|
lines), stout, triangular, brown spine. It seems allied to A. filamentosa Salm.,
which, however, has much shorter and wider leaves. The form of the terminal
spine precludes its being taken for a Yucca.^
*^ Dr. Palmer^s plant reaches 12 feet in height. The leaves are numerous in
a dense rosette, the flowers, in pairs, as in ^. schotiiiy yellow, with linear lobes.
I submitted this 8X>ecie6 to Mr. J. G. Baker, of Kew, as probably a new species,
who wrote nie as followH : ' We have nothing like this either in the herbarium
or the garden; its nearest affinity is evidently the imperfectly described A.
anguatissimaf of which we have no specimens.'
*'With this suggestion I applied to DrAVilliam Trelease for the loan of Engel-
mann's plant. Through his kindness I have been able to examine the type of
this species. I have little hesitancy in referring my specimens here. The type
si>ecimeus, however, consist of only a few leaves cut off above the enlarg^ed
base. With such material any comparison is very unsatisfactory, but nntil
specimens can be obtained from the original station, and it is proved to be dif-
ferent, this plant should st/and for A. avgustUsima.
'*Dr. Palmer's plant was collected at Manzanillo, December 1 to 31, 1890 (No.
1070). The plant is common, growing among rocks, with little soil, along the
margin of the bay. I have some small plants growing in the greenhouses of the
Department of Agriculture.
'^ Seeds when planted in pans, germinated in seven to ten days. Seeds have
been sent to Kew and to tlie Shaw gardens, but no report has yet been received."
Mr. W. Watson, of Kew, also writing in Garden and Forest (vol. vi. p. 76) has
this to say regarding this discovery :
'^The picture anil full account of this Agavej published in Garden and Forest
(vol. vi. p. 5), were highly interesting to growers of succulent plants in this conn-
try, and still more interesting is the fact that, through the kindness of Prof.
Sargent, who sent seeds of it to Kew, it is likely soon to become known in col-
lections here, the seeds having germinated quickly and freely. The offer of seetls
through your pages (vol. vi. p. 6) to any person wishing to grow this plant should
be taken advantage of by all cultivators of such species of agave as A, filifera
and A, schotiii, to which ornamental and compact growers A. angustUnma is
closely related. The attention of collectors and botanists generally shonld be
drawn to the forethought and good nature which attended the rediscovery of
this plant. It is difficult to interest botanical collectors in the introduction of
desirable plants into cultivation."

the nut is thick and hard; embryo nearly filling the cavity. Across the bay

I have not been able to place these specimens satisfactorily, not having them
in flower, but they seem to have many of the characters of Coco8, The albumen
has the taste of the common cocoanut, but it is more oily. The central cavity
is almost wanting. The nut is 1-celled and has three eyes near the base.
The nuts are used in making a kind of soap.
It is variously called *'coqueto," ''Palma de Coqnito de aceita," "Coco de

if it really belongs to that genus.

I have an unpublished drawing of this plant from Paris by which it is easily
recognized. M. Fournier enumerates the following localities and numbers:
Vera Cruz, Gouin No. 76; Acapulco, Thiebaut No. 1042; San Augustin, Liebmann
Nos. 50i, 50o ; without locality, Karwinski No. 1000. Probably the reference to
Florida, Karw. is an error. The following two species belong to the same
genus : —
O. latifolia Vasey; Tricuspia (Neuroblepharum) latifolia Griseb. PI. Lorentz.

cidm almost reed-like, the leaves 8 to 10 lines wide, the panicle 1 foot long, the
branches 7 or 8 inches long, with the lower one-fourth or one-third part naked,
the spikelets 3- to 4-flowered, 4 to 6 lines long, with the awns one-third or one-
half as long as the floral glumes.
