more than 6 or 8 feet. In the open, or along the roadside, where 
the surrounding shrubs have been cut away, it often becomes 15 
or 20 feet tall. Mr. H. J. Webber, of the Sub-lropical Labora- 
tory at Eustis, kindly collected for me last November a lot of fine 
fruiting specimens, thus enabling me to distribute it in fruit, 
No. 2601. 
“ WAREA SESSILIFOLIA N. sp. 
Annual. Whole plant glabrous, branched, sometimes diffusely 
so, 3-6 dm. tall; leaves erect or ascending, ovate, sessile, those on 
the stem 1-2 cm. long, 5-10 mm. broad, those on the branches 
gradually reduced, the uppermost one usually about 5 mm. long; 
racemes densely flowered, 2-3 cm. in length; pedicels filiform, 
6-10 mm. long; sepals spatulate, purple at the broadened base, 
becoming greenish towards the apex, 7-8 mm. long, about I mm. 
broad, reflexed; petals deep purple, the claw 5-6 mm. long, fili- 
form above, gradually broadened toward the base, pubescent on 
the lower half, the blade broadly ovate or oval, abruptly narrowed 
into the claw, about § mm. long, 4—4.5 mm. broad; stamens about 
1.5 cm. in length, the filaments thread-like, purple except toward 
the white summit; anthers linear, coiled when dry, 2 mm. long, 
-5 mm. broad; pod not seen. 
Collected in the pine lands at Bellair, about 4 miles south of 
Tallahassee, Leon Co. The larger deep purple flowers and the 
ovate merely sessile leaves, not sagittate nor clasping as in W. 
amplexifolia, readily distinguish this plant from either of the other 
species. No. 2544. 
GLOTTIDIUM FLORIDANUM ATRO-RUBRUM DN. var. 
Flowers a deep black-purple. Otherwise much as in the type. 
Occurring from Tampa, where my specimens were secured, 
southward, No. 2415. In this region it entirely replaces the yel- 
low-flowered form which is very common from Lake Co. north to 
Jacksonville and west to Tallahassee. :

Eustis, Lake Co.; also at Tallahassee, Leon Co., where my speci- 
mens were obtained. No. 2359.

from, Lake City, Columbia Co., westward.
