Oxalidaceae novae mexicanae. 257 



I. drummondii has been reported in Sonora by Torrey, but no 

 specimens are cited by Doctor Trelease. I have seen only the Mexican 

 Survey specimens cited by Torrey. 



The species is characterized by the broadly spreading lobes of the 

 leaflets and by the blue flowers. The scales of the bulbs are thin and 

 -3 -nerved, the stamens glabrous. 



10. lonoxalis furcata Rose, 1. c. p. 111. pi. XXXV, fig. 2. 



Bulbs solitary, small, globular, covered with the fibers of the old 

 scales; scales ovate, acute, many (more than 10)-nerved; petioles shorter 

 than the peduncles, glabrous; leaflets 7 to 9, linear in outline, glabrous, 

 each two-cleft; lobes about onefourth the length of the leaflets, diverging, 

 linear, obtuse; peduncles 3 to 7-flowered; involucral bract small, ovate, 

 acute; pedicels slender, 10 to 12 mm long; sepals shortly oblong, 3 mm 

 long, obtuse or rounded at apex, 3-nerved, pubescent; corolla purplish, 

 10 to 12 mm long; stamens all hairy; styles (in specimens seen) of one 

 length and very short; capsule not seen. 



Type U. S. National Herbarium no. 396715, collected by C. G. 

 Pringle on wet ledges near Guadalajara Jalisco, July 10, 1902 

 (no. 8659). Here perhaps belongs J. N. Rose's no. 6402 collected in 

 1901 near the same locality. 



II. lonoxalis galeottii (Turcz.) Rose, 1. c, p. 112. 



Oxalis galeottii Turcz. Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc, XXXI, 1 433; 1858. 



Type locality; „Oaxaca, altitude, 7000 ped.;" type collected by 

 Galeotti (no. 3995). Oaxaca: Sierra de San Felipe, altitude, 2700 and 

 3000 meters, C. G. Pringle, May, 1894 (no. 4660). 



I have seen no authentic specimens of this species, but Doctor 

 Pringle's plant comes from the same general locality and answers the 

 description fairly well. 



12. lonoxalis gonzalesii Rose, 1. c, p. 112. 



Bulbs solitary, globular, covered with many fine fibers; scales with 

 numerous nerves; leaflets about 9, broadly linear, 6 to 7 cm long, acute, 

 glabrate in age; peduncles 20 to 30 cm long; umbels many-flowered; 

 pedicels slender, 1 to 2 cm long; sepals ovate, obtuse, glabrous: petals 

 1 cm long, deep purple; styles long, hairy. 



Type U. S. National Herbarium no. 371938. collected by C. Conzatti 

 and V. Gonzales on San Felipe, Oaxaca, June 10, 1897 (no. 333). 



This species is perhaps nearest 0. lasiandra, but it has differently 

 shaped leaflets, glabrous sepals, etc. 



13. lonoxalis grayi Rose, 1. c, p. 112. 



Bulbs surrounded by a thick coat of old fibers; scales thickish 

 many-nerved; leaflets 5 to 8, simply notched, or deeply parted; peduncles 

 longer than the leaves; flowers purplish; filaments hairy. 



This is the Oxalis decaphytta of Gray and of all American writers. 

 It differs greatly from the material from the Valley of Mexico in the 

 texture of the bulb scales and in having numerous veins instead of three. 

 I have referred tentatively to this species all the material heretofore
