twice as large as usual. Some of the flowers are slightly tinged 
with orange. 
6. LimoporuM PARVIFLORUM (Lindl.) (Calopogon parviflorus Lindl.) 
Quite common in the low pine land. It grows from 6 to 12 
inches high. Its flowers are deep purple, much resembling those 
of L. tuberosum of the north, which is also common, but flowers 
much later. L. parviflorum was in full bloom early in March.

Watson.) 
Finding this plant in Florida was a surprise. It-was previously 
known only from Mexico. 
857, 1703. Tillandsia juncea Le Conte. 
This has been placed with 7? setacea Sw. by Mr. Baker, in 
his monograph of the Bromeliaceae. The two are very common 
where I collected and are clearly distinct. 7: se¢acea has erect 
setaceous leaves, very narrow at the base while in 7: juncea the 
leaves are much stouter, with a much broader base, and are 
conspicuously recurved, The specimens in the Columbia College 
herbarium collected by Dr. Chapman and so named are'evidently 
another species, the 7: Balbisiana R. & S. Le Conte says [Ann. 
Lyc. N. Y. 2: 131 (1828)] that his species very much resembles the 
figure of Bonapartea juncea in Flora Peruviana, p/. 262. The 
plant referred to above certainly does bear a strong resemblance 
to this figure. | 
1562. Yucca filamentosa L. var. 
There are two forms of Y. filamentosa occurring in this region. 
One flowers in May, has conspicuously twisted leaves which gener- 
ally are strongly recurved and rather short, and matures its fruit in 
July.. The other is taller, has whiter flowers in a larger panicle, 
longer and more erect leaves which are narrower in proportion, 
and does not flower until August. They grow in similar sit- 
uations. With these differences it hardly seems possible that 
they can be the same. 
459. “Nouina BRITTONIANA n. sp. 
Roots a cluster of long spreading fleshy fibres. Radical 
leaves 40-70, recurved and prostrate, forming a dense mass around 
the base of the plant, linear, 1-2 metres long, s-1o mm. wide, 
strongly scabrous on the margins, attentuated into a long slender
