124. Corp1ia (Varronia) angustifolia, Roem. et Schult. Syst. v. 4. p. 460.—Bay of Magdalena. 
—An imperfect specimen, but apparently identical with the West Indian plant. 
125. Hexiorroprum eurassavicum, Linn.—Reem. et Schult. Syst. v. 4. p. 32.—Common on the 
sea coast throughout California.

The leaves are rather broader, and the flowers perhaps a little larger than in 
the specimens raised from seeds received from Dr. Fischer, but in every other 
respect precisely the same. Probably the M. Scouleri adverted to by Hooker and 
Arnott (Bot. Beech. p. 370), belongs also to the same species. 
PEDALIACER. 
127. Marrtynta altheefolia, sp. n., foliis alternis cordato-ovatis sinuato-3-7-lobis, calyce obliquo 
5-lobo antice fisso corolla tubo plus duplo breviore, staminibus fertilibus quatuor.— Bay of 
Magdalena. 
Herba rudis, diffusa, more generis hispida et viscosa, bis terve dichotome ramosa, et in axillis foliorum 
ramulis brevibus preedita. Folia omnia alterna vidi; caulina in petiolo 2-4-pollicari 1-1}-pollicaria, obtusissima, 
irregulariter sinuato-crenata vel in lobos breves latos divisa, basi profunde cordata, crassa et utrinque viscosissimo- 
puberula pilisque paucis presertim novella hispida, basi 3-7-nervia, nervis tamen venisve ob consistentia folioram 
vix aut non prominentibus; folia ramulorum multo minora, ovata vel suborbiculata. Racemi ad apices ramorum 
breves. Pedunculi pauci, inter se distantes, 2-3 poll. longi, hispidi, singuli ad axillam bractee minute 
squameeformis solitarii, uniflori. Calyx, forma M. proboscidee sed multo minor, vix enim 6 lin. longus, 
hirsutus, basi bracteolis duo ovatis vix 2 lin longis appressis instructus. Corolle tubus 12-13 lin. longus, 
puberulus, basi decurvus, superne ampliatus, minus tamen quam in M. proboscidea ; limbi lacinie breyes, late, 
patentissimee. Stamina inclusa, didynama; anthere per paria leviter coherentes, lineares, divaricato-biloculares. 
Stylus staminibus longior, lobis divaricatis obovatis obtusissimis supra undique stigmatosis post anthesin 
conniventibus. Drupa oblonga, rostro neglecto 2 poll. longa; rostram 4 poll. longum, incurvum, apice
