The original of this species I take to be “WV. rupicola, Pavon,” of which there are 
good and quite similar specimens in Boissier’s herbarium and at the British Museum, 
formerly in Lambert’s herbarium. As it is Pavon’s name, and as the plant is not found 
among the plants of Bonpland in the herbarium at the Jardin des Plantes, I suppose 
that Choisy has made a mistake in ascribing the name to the latter. The species has 
to be taken in a rather wide sense, even probably to include Seemann’s 2083. The 
original specimens are hoary villous, mostly round-leaved, with sepals little shorter 
than the corolla, and spatulate-dilated at the tip; the capsule mostly short and small, 
as described by Choisy. The specimens from Monterey of Edwards and Eaton have 
narrower leaves, much less dilated sepals, and an oblong capsule. And the following 
very marked form must be added :— 
Var. rotundifolium, A. Gr. 
Viride, pilis tenuibus interdum longis subviscosis villosum; pedunculis plerisque elongatis fili- 
formibus ; sepalis corolla (lineas 4 longa) dimidio brevioribus ; capsula aut ovali aut oblonga. 
Norta Mexico, near Monclova, Coahuila (Palmer, 983), near Monterey (Palmer, 984) ; 
Souto Mexico, Cuernavaca (Bilimek, 392). Hb. Kew. 
There are two forms. Palmer's 983 is remarkably green and large-leaved, probably 
from growing in moist and shady situations; 984 is villous, with very soft long hairs. 
Bilimek’s 392 connects this with the genuine NV. rupicolum. 
tt Folia fere sessilia, opposita. 
8. Nama serpylloides, A. Gr., n. sp. 
Puberulum, effuse ramosissimum, gracile; foliis spathulatis vel obovatis basi attenuatis fere eveniis 
(lineas 3-5 longis) ; pedunculis filiformibus brevioribus; corolla (lineas 2-3 longa) quam calyx 
duplo longiore.

The fine pubescence is seemingly somewhat viscid; and the long villous or hirsute 
hairs so common in related species are wholly wanting. ‘he leaves appear to be 
uniformly opposite!
