A native of the Southern United States of North 

 America, from North Carolina to Louisiana and Florida, 

 where it is common in low pine barrens. It is an exceed- 

 ingly variable plant in the size of all its parts, and especially 

 in the obtuse toothing of the lobes of the corolla. A form 

 with the corolla-lobes quite entire has been described by 

 my father as P. edentula in the " Exotic Botany," and 

 which is considered by other botanists as a distinct variety ; 

 but A. De Candolle, who retains it as a variety, says of 

 P. lutea that in some specimens of lutea sent by M. 

 Michaux the lobes are all four-toothed, whilst in the figure 

 in the Botanical Register the upper are simply obcordate 

 and the lower four- toothed, and in specimens communi- 

 cated by A. Gray all are entire ; to which should be added 

 that in the Flora Exotica figure, the type of edentula, 

 they are all obcordate. In dimensions the corolla varies 

 from half an inch to an inch and a half in diameter. 



P. lutea differs from all others of the genus in the nearly 

 regular, not two-lipped, corolla and its yellow colour, upon 



Novejiber 1st, 1891.
