16 E. Koehne: Eine neue Cuphea von den Kleinen Antillen. 
filaments subulate, unequally inserted toward the base, the white anthers 
cordate-reniform ; style 2-cleft at apex; stigmas capitate; capsule oblong, 
5 to 6 mm long, obtuse, sparsely hispidulous; seeds about 12, angular, 
lanceolate-oblong, beautifully tuberculate in transverse rows, 1,7 mm long. 
This plant has long been confused with P. ivesiana Torr. of the 
Great Basin region southward, though attention was called to its distinct- 
ness long since. P. ivesiana differs in having its herbage more hispid 
and nearly glandless, and in having broader, obtuse, mostly entire leaf 
lobes, glandless calyx, and more deeply corrugated seeds.
