that this one was made the type of a new genus by Rafinesque. 
MEIBOMIA PAUCIFLORA (Nutt.) Kuntze 
Collected in rich shady woods near Chokee Creek, Sumter 
County, on the morning of July 25 (no. 1114). This species differs 
considerably from its relatives in its flowers. The corollas are not 
only pure white, as is hinted in the Illustrated Flora and Dr. 
Britton’s Manual, but also more regular than in the other species. 
-The two lower petals instead of being united into a keel are widely 
diverging, as are the very similar wing-petals. The corolla is there- 
fore hardly papilionaceous, and almost the only evidence of irreg- 
ularity about it is the larger size of the standard, which is three 
or four times as broad as the other petals. Most descriptions say 
nothing about the color of the petals of this species, but Mr. T. 
H. Kearney and Professor A. Ruth, who have collected it in Ten- 
nessee, inform me that their experience has been the same as mine 
in this respect. 
This may perhaps be considered the most primitive species in 
the genus. In its other characters besides those mentioned it re- 
sembles very much its near relative WZ. grandiflora (Walt.) Kuntze, 
which was found intimately associated with it and collected at the 
same time (no, III5). 
EUPHORBIA ERIOGONOIDES Small, Bull. Torrey Club, 25: 614. 
1898 
In rather dry pine-barrens, Bulloch County, June 10 (no. 846) ; 
not common. Previously known only from McIntosh County, 
where Dr. Small discovered it in 1895. My specimens are less 
branched than his, but otherwise identical. 
HELIANTHEMUM ROSMARINIFOLIUM Pursh 
This long neglected (and perhaps not yet very well known) 
plant seems to be the most abundant species in the vicinity of 
Millen, growing in dry sandy soil, where I collected it on June 5, 
(no. 759), at which time it was not yetin flower. Mr. A. H. 
Curtiss collected it five weeks later at Oliver, 33 miles farther down 
the Ogeechee River and Central R. R., (no. 6838, distributed as
