style about equalling the distal pair of stamens; capsule ovoid- 
oblong. 
Found by Mr. A. H. Curtiss, growing in the bottom of ditches 
between Jacksonville and Trout Creek, Florida, on July 13th 1893. 
- The above described species is related to Monniera amplexi- 
caulis of Florida, but is easily separated from it by its much larger 
size, its broader leaves, the elongated pedicel and the larger flowers. 
In some respects it is closely related to J. lanigera of the tropics, 
but in the latter species the nerving of the leaves is pinnate and 
the intenodes longer than the leaves, while in JZ. crenulata the 
leaves are flabellinerved and longer than the intenodes.

Is spontaneous about the village of Stone Mountain, Georgia, 
and also at points along the Georgia Railroad.

larger flowers. The achene is also larger and of a darker sar 
In C. angustifolia to the wings of the achene are cut in an eater 
manner and the awns persistent, while the wings in C. longifo a
