Mexico: Tamaulipas: Rincon del Toro, on the exsiccated maritime 

 creek Laguna Madre, June 1904, R. Endlich 549 (type in Herh. Berol.). 



Not seen; description translated from Wangerin 's original diagnosis. 

 The species seems doubtfully distinct from L. Nashii. 



5. Limonium Nashii Small. Plant 2.7-8.4 dm. high, the scape 

 solid. Leaves oblong or oblong-spatulate to obovate, obtuse or 

 rounded or retuse at the barely mucronulate apex, narrowed into the 

 petiole, the lamina 5-17 cm. long, 1.7-4.5 cm. wide, on petioles 4.5- 

 16.5 cm. long. Scape paniculately much branched from near the 

 middle, the panicle 1.8-3 dm. wide, the branches spreading-ascending, 

 the ultimate branchlets loosely flowered; spikelets l-2(usually 1)- 

 flowered. Outermost bractlet ovate, acute to acuminate, mucronate, 

 hyaline-margined, 1.8-2 mm. long; middle oblong, erose at the obtuse 

 apex, hyaline with distinct midrib, 2.5^ mm. long; innermost ellip- 

 tic, rounded or retuse, hyaline-margined, 3.8-4.5 mm. long. Calyx 

 obconic, sparsely or rather densely short-pilose at extreme base and 

 often on one or two of the ribs for about $-J their length, 6.2-0.8 mm. 

 long; limb erect, whitish, 5-lobed; lobes lanceolate-ovate, acuminate, 

 1-1.5 mm. long; teeth very short and bifid or obsolescent. Petals 

 violet. Plate 1 18, fig. D.

 calif or nicum); Galveston Bay, July 1842, Lindhcimer.

Tracy 6475, from St. Vincent, Florida, 4 Sept. 1899, is very puzzling, 

 having the bractlets of L. carolinianum, a calyx 6.5 mm. long, pu- 

 bescent at extreme base and on two of the ribs to middle or nearly so, 

 and ovate merely acute calyx-lobes about 0.7 mm. long. It may be a 

 hybrid of L. carolinianum and L. Nashii.
