narrower leaves and the smaller flowers, these being hardly one- 
half as large as those of Vicia Caroliniana. 1 take pleasure in 
naming the species for my friend Mr. A. M. Huger, a very thor- 
ough explorer of the flora of the Southern States. I have speci- 
mens before me as follows: 
Georgia: Stone Mountain, May 1-18, 1895, J. K. Small; 
Americus, March 1, 1897; Atlanta, April, 1897, and Gainesville, 
April, 1897, A. M. Huger. 
Alabama: Auburn, March 28 and April 18, 1896, L. M. Under- 
wood and F. S. Earle.

SAMOLUS CUNEATUS. 
_ Perennial, fleshy. Stems solitary or tufted, 1-3 dm. long,ascend- © 
ing or reclining, simple or usually branched; leaves opposite or 
mainly so, obdeltoid-spatulate or broadly spatulate, 4-12 cm. 
long, truncate or coarsely mucronate at the apex, the bases de- 
current as broad wings; racemes I~3 dm. long, their peduncles 
longer than the stems, together with the racemes glandular-pilose ; 
pedicels slender, spreading or ascending, 1-3 cm. long; calyx 
campanulate, the triangular acute segments longer than the tube, 
or at maturity shorter; corolla white, 4*5 mm. broad, the 5 lobes 
broadly cuneate, flattish or truncate at the apex, toothed, as 
long as the tube; stamens included; capsules depressed-globose, 
3-3.5 mm. in diameter ; seeds .4 mm. thick. 
On limestone rocks or soil, Texas. Spring. 
A study of the genus Samo/us has revealed this hitherto un- 
described species; it is related to Samolus alyssoides and S. ebrac- 
teatus, from both of which it may be distinguished by the 
glandular-pilose peduncles and smaller corollas. The corollas of 
specimens of Samolus alyssoides and S. ebracteatus which I have 
examined vary from 6-9 mm. in breadth, while those of S. cune- 
atus are only 4~5 mm. broad. The corolla-segments of the new 
species are broadly cuneate as contrasted with the suborbicular 
segments of the two older ones. 
The following specimens belong to S. cuneatus : 
Texas: Kerrville, Kerr county, May 14-21, 1894, A. A. 
Heller, no. 1751 (type); Waco, 1887, Miss Sara Trimble. 
’ Limonium Nasuii. 
Perennial by branching rootstocks, glabrous. Leaves basal, 
the blades oblong or elliptic, sometimes varying to narrowly
