tion, did not speak of the pubescence, and Miller's plate’ which he 
cites represents glabrous capsules. 
On the other hand, some of the earlier botanists noted this tendency

(t. 355) Curtis represented the plant with capsules pubescent as in the 
southern Maine specimens. In his Monographia Onagrearum, Spach 
describes the capsules of the plant (his Afia pumila) as puberulent, 
and Torrey and Gray speak of them as minutely puberulent. — M. L,
