673. Hibiscus incanus Wendl. 
This has been put*in with A. Moscheutos but it certainly ap- 
pears distinct from that plant. Its flowers are always pure white 
with a deep purple centre. The leaves are softly pubescent on 
both sides, and are very seldom lobed at the apex, and when they 
are the lobing it is very slight. 
378. Cardiospermun microcarpum Kunth. 
Of frequent occurrence in the “ hammock lands,” climbing up 
the bushes and small shrubs. It appears to be new to the flora of 
the United States. It occurs in the West Indies, and so its turn- 
ing up in Florida is not a matter of great surprise. It has much 
smaller fruit than C. Halicacabum L., which is very common in 
South Florida. , 
261. Amorpha virgata Small. 
Mr. Small found this on Stone Mountain, Georgia, and it has 
now been found in Florida, several hundred miles further south. 
1523.” KuHNISTERA Fray (Chapm.) (Fetalostemon Feayt Chapm.). 
This occurs very commonly in both the “scrub” and high 
Pine land. It forms large clumps 3 to 4 feet across. The flowers 
are a bright lavender. A white-flowered form was also found 
(No. 1524).
