This plant is described as having white bracts; our plants, aa well as a plant 

 collected in 1879 by Mr. Ball in Wichita County, Tex., has red bracts. Whether 

 this is a form or variety can not be ascertained from the material at hand. 



ILLECEBRACEiE. 



Paronychia Jamesii Torr. and Gray. Comanche County, Kana. June. No. 250. 

 Thia plant is the same as Nealley's plant of 1889 (referred to P. dickotoma) and 

 as Austin's No. 50 (referred to P. setaoea). The four so-called apecies P. dickoto- 

 ma, Jamesii, Lindheimeri, aud setacea, seem hardly deserving of specific rank.

 Froelichia gracilis Moq. ' Barber County, Kaus. June. No. 259. 



• After an eiamination of the material in the ISTational Herbarium of th6 five species belonging to 

 the section Oplotheca of thia genus, I ani led to think that tliey should be reduced to two or three 

 Bpecies. The section Diiopha is not represented in the collection, making a comprehensive examina- 

 lion of all the species of thia genus impossible at this time. The crests of the ripened fruit appear 

 to fumiah the most satisfactory guide to the determination of these plants. The forms which have 

 these crests spiny we may, for convenience, designate as the Gracilit group, including F. gracilit, 

 Floridana and Drummondii, with the last two reduced to varieties of gracilis. The forms which 

 hare the creats in the form of entire or barely orenulate wings may be designated as the Alaice, In- 

 cluding F. inter rupta, tomentom, and Dr. "Watson's Mexican F. alata.
