neeticut, 5 from New York, !) from Pennsylvania, 2 from the Dis- 

 trict of Columbia, 1 from West Virginia, 1 from Virginia, 1 from North 

 Carolina, 1 from Indiana, 2 from Tennessee, 2 from Michigan, I 

 from Wisconsin, 3 from Illinois, 1 from Minnesota, 1 from Io\v:i, 

 5 from Missouri, and 1 from Kansas) have (lie ovary or capsule 

 strictly glabrous. Mr. Walter Deane informs us that in his extensive 

 herbarium there is only one sheet of V. criocarpn (and that a number 

 from Oklahoma already cheeked in the Gray Herbarium) with 

 pubescent capsules. It is thus apparent that the more widely dis- 

 persed plant has glabrous capsules and, extending far to the north- 

 east of the nomenclatorially typical V. criocarpn, is worthy varietal 

 separation. 1
