366 LXXXV. ASCLEPIADEE (BROWN). — [Schizoglossum. 
coronal-lobes are those of a typical Schizoglossum reduced, their union at the base 
and shortness are of no generic importance. On account of the dorsal flattening of 
the coronal-lobes I place the plant under Schizoglossum. 
21. S. Carsoni, V. “#. Br. Stems simple, 1-2 ft. high, glabrous,

subsessile, 3-6 in. long, 1-14 lin. broad, linear, acute, narrowed at the 
base, with flat margins, glabrous. Umbels lateral and terminal, pedun-

lin. long, 3-4 lin. broad, elliptic-oblong, obtuse, glabrous, densely 
speckled and stained down the central area, with dark purple-brown on 
an ochreous ground. Coronal-lobes arising }—1 lin. above the base of 
the staminal-column and overtopping it by $ of their length, 24-23 lin. 
long, 1-1} lin. broad, erect, oblong, rather thin and flat, with incurved 
margins and a bluntly pointed denticulate or bidentate apex incurved 
over the anthers, neither keeled nor toothed on the face, apparently 
yellowish or whitish. Staminal-column 2-24 lin. long; anther-append- 
ages rather large, broadly ovate, obtuse, intlexed over the top of the 
staminal-column, Follicles (immature) 3 in. or more long, 4 in. thick
