Petalostemon luteolus S. Wats., is P. Sabinalis S. Wats. Al- 
though the name /wteo/us appears in Patterson’s Check-List, it has 
no foundation, being a label name given to a specimen of P. Sa- 
binalis. 
KUHNISTERA MICROPHYLLA (T. & G.). 
Petalostemon phleoides var. microphyllum T.& G. Fl. N. Am, 1: 
340. : F633. 
The much smaller and 4 more numerous leaflets, as well as the 
pubescence, readily separate this plant from K. phleoides. 
A Texan species. ; 
KUHNISTERA MULTIFLORA (Nutt.) Heller, Mem. Torr. Club, 5: 197. 
1894. : 
Petalostemon multifiorum Nutt. Journ. Acad. Phila.7: 92. 1834. 
Kuhnistera candida var. multi tflora Rydberg, Cont. U. S. Nat. 
Herb. 3: 54. 1895. 
The corymbose and capitate inflorescence of this species debar 
it from being classed with K. candida. The ovate bracts, shorter 
than the calyx, although of lesser importance, do not agree with 
candida either, as shown by Mr. Rydberg’s description. There 
is only one other species in the genus, K. pinnata, which is corym- 
bosely branched. I have seen specimens from Kansas, Indian 
Territory and Texas only. 
KUHNISTERA OBovATA (T. & G.). 
Petalostemon obovatum T. & G. Fl. N. Am. 1: 310. 1838. 
Dalea agastachya Moric. P|. Nouv. 65. pl. zg. 1839. 
Kuhnistera agastachya Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 192. 1891. 
In Mem. Am. Acad. (Plantae Fendlerianae) 4: 33 (1849), Dr. 
Gray says in a foot note: “ Dalea agastachya Moric. Pl. Nouv. 
Amer. pl. 44 (1839) is Petalostemon obovatum T.& G.,” thus proving 
conclusively that odovatum is the earlier name. Moricand’s work 
was issued in parts, dating from 1833-46. 
A Texan species.
