south of Virginia, except about the village of Stone Mountain, 
Georgia, when I found it well established last July. 
CRACCA INTERMEDIA n. sp. 
Perennial by a woody base, pubescent throughout and slightly 
viscid about the nodes. Stems 4-6 dm. long, branched from the 
base and throughout, spreading, assurgent, flexuous and more or 
less angled; leaves oblong-obovate in outline, 6-12 cm. long, 
3.5—6 cm. broad; petioles 1-2 cm. long, rachis four-angled; leaf- 
lets 7-11, oblong-obovate, 1-3 cm. long, .7—1.7 cm. broad, strigose 
_ on the lower surface, glabrous on the upper surface, truncate or 
slightly emarginate at the apex, more or less apiculate by the ex- 
current midrib, very short petioluled; peduncles as long as the 
leaves, four-angled; pedicels 6-8 mm. long; flowers dark red, 
1.3-1.7 cm. long; calyx teeth lanceolate, acuminate; legume 
3-5-4 cm. long, either solitary or two arising from the same place; 
seeds five to nine, oblong or oblong-ovoid, compressed, smooth 
and variegated. 
Intermediate between Cracca ambigua and C. chrysophylla, but 
of the two, more closely related to the latter, from which, how- 
ever, it differs in its assurgent habit, the greater number and the 
shape of the leaflets, the smaller flowers and larger seeds. The 
habit of C. chrysophylla is strictly prostrate, the leaflets are 5-9 in 
number, and obovate-cuneate in outline. The seed is only one- 
half as large, dull and slightly roughened, and obliquely-obovoid | 
in shape. C. intermedia also lacks the silky pubescence of C.- 
chrysophyll : es 
The species grows in dry and poor “blackjack thickets” about 
Jacksonville, Florida, and was found by Mr. A. H. Curtiss in 
1893, flowering on May 3Ist and in mature fruit on July 11th.
