species of Cuphea, by which the placenta with immature ovules 
pushes through the side of the calyx tube and stands exposed as 
4 curved projection for the purpose of ripening its seeds, which 
fall to the ground on maturity. The author also wished to make 
report upon her work, in connection with the Department of 
Agriculture, which she had been requested to make by Dr. J. N. 
Rose, and which consisted of tests of large numbers of seeds of 
tare plants from Mexico and other regions. Although the work 
has just been begun, there have been secured a large number of 
Tare /pomee, now growing in pots.
