There is also a panicle in Brit. Mns. (herb. Roemer) labelled "Sta- 

 tice nova species Carolina ita misit D. Decandolle qui in omnibus 

 speciminibua folia deesse dick." Bcrlandicr 3179 is placed by Wan- 

 gerin (1. c. p. 43) under Statice Nashii.. Of the two specimens, of 

 different dates (and perhaps confused), in the Gray Herbarium under 

 that number one is L. Nashii, the other L. carolinianum. The latter 

 differs from any others examined in its more densely flowered and 

 rather stiffly erect branches and slightly less obtuse calyx-lobes, but 

 it is somewhat approached in the former character by Dcam 2943, and 

 in the latter by Palmer 332. The calyx is also considerably larger 

 (6.5 mm.) with larger teeth (1 mm.), having however the same shape. 

 Further Mexican material may show its distinctness from L. caro- 

 linianum, but at present it does not seem advisable to distinguish it 

 by a name. 



2. Limonium angustatum (Gray) Small. Similar; leaves linear 

 or linear-lanceolate to lanceolate, the blade 5.5-8.5 cm. long, 4.5- 

 20.5 mm. wide, equalling or exceeding the petiole. Panicle 12.5-24
