Physalis heterophylla umbrosa, var. nov. 
It resembles a tall form of P. virginiana, and its peculiarity is perhaps due to the 
shaded locality in which it grows. It has very thin, large leaves, nearly smooth; 
plant not at all viscid, but with a fine pubescence mixed with long, jointed hairs, 
The same plant was collected by Smith & Pound, in 1892, in Cherry County, 
Nebr., and a similar one, but with smaller leaves, which are scarcely toothed, by 
myself at Scott’s Blufis, Nebraska, in 1881. I named the latter Physalis mollis ein- 
erascens, which it resembles in the form of the leaves; in fact, it stands between the 
present form and the variety mentioned. Among bushes, Thedford, June 21 and 
August 22 (No. 1398). 
Physalis lanceolata Mx. FI. i, 149 (1803). 
Dr. Gray,' I think, includes two distinct species under P. lanceolata Mx. Which 
of the two is the original 2. lanceolata I am not ready to say, as | have not seen any 
type specimens. In his Manual? Dr. Gray acknowledges two forms which he calls 
P. pennsylranica and P, pennsylvanica variety lanceolata. Ile describes the latter as 
“the narrow-leafed and pubescent form (5 to 15 inches high), especially the state with 
a hairy ealyx (P. lanceolata Mx., P. maritima M. A. Curtis).” 1. maritima he after- 
wards includes in P, viscosa. What Dr. Gray held to bethe typical P. lanceoluta Mx. 
seems therefore to be my plant. In the Synoptical Flora he describes under this name 
rather the form which in the Manual he calls P?. pennsylvanica, hence I have hitherto 
regarded that as the true P. lanceolata. As synonyms under this Gray gives 2. pumila 
Nutt.3 and P. elliotti Kunze.4 Nuttall’s type specimen, preserved in the Philadelphia 
Academy of Science, I have seen, It is a more hairy form, but evidently belongs to 
P. lanceolata and is P. lanceolata hirta Gray, type specimens of which are in the 
National Herbarium. It is not different from Nuttall’s plant. Irom the description 
in Linniea of P, elliotti Kunze, it may seem likely to be the other species included by 
Gray under P. lanceolata, but the type specimens show that it is P. viscosa spatula- 
folia (Torr.) Gray. As far as I know them the distinctions between the two are as 
follows: 
The true P. lanceolata Mx. (P. pennsylvanica lanceolata Gray, Man, ed. 5; 1’. lanceo- 
lata Gray, Syn. Fl. in part) is low, 2 to 8 dm. high, upright or often decumbent; 
pubescence on the leaves short and stiff or none; onthe stem, especially the younger 
parts, and on the calyx longer, hirsute; corolla scarcely 1.5 em, in diameter; fruit- 
ing calyx globose-ovoid, scarcely angled and scarcely sunken at the base; berry 
yellow; leaves obovate, oblanceolate, or spatulate, mostly entire. 
The other form or species, which is a variety of I. virginiana Mill. not Gray (2. penn- 
sylvanica Gray, Man, ed. 5; P. lanceolata Gray, Syn. Fl. mainly), is generally taller, 3 to 
5dm. high, mostly upright, more or less pruinose, scarcely hispid at all; corolla 2 to 2,5 
em. in diameter, sulphur-yellow with dark eyes; fruiting calyx angled, with a deeply 
sunken, pyramidal base; fruit reddish; leaves ovate to lanceolate, angulately few- 
toothed or undulate, generally with an oblique base, and thinner than in the preceding. 
My specimens in this collection belong to the true 2. lanceolata. ‘Thedford, June
