 This is tho .same as raliucr's No. 4H> from .liilisco, rcA^ired as above by Dr. 



Gray. 



lu tliosamo colloctiou (No. 462) is a spocimen which Dr. Gray referred to C. 

 calocephala DC. TIuh was al30 collected by Priiijib^ in 1800 (Xo. 3T)(\) IVom near 

 the same locality. IJotli the latte" specimens seem to dil'ler I'nmi specimens dia- 

 tributed by Gapt. .lolin DonnoU Smith nnder the name ('. caloccjihtihi. Mr. 

 Smith's specimens have larger and more strongly veined leaves, and larger 

 calyx (3 lines long) and corolla (1 to ."> lines long), the latter blue: l'aliiier"s juid 

 I'ringle's.lalisco specimens have the calyx \h to2 lin«^slong, the corolla with very 

 sb^nder tnbe, 2 to 3 lines long, anil pnrjdc or rose-colored. 



1 am inclined to lliink that Mr. Smith's specimens are the line C calocephala, 

 while the latter belongs to an imdescribed species.
