one or other of its congeners. 
4. C. Saururi (n. sp.); stem low branching, flowers 5- 
parted somewhat pedunculate at length in spikes, tube of the 
cor. campanulate, equal to the somewhat obtuse campanulate 
or spreading lobes and longer than the obtuse calycine seg- 
ments, stamens as long as the limb, scales pinnatifid-laci- 
niate convergent covering the ovary, styles as long as the 
ovato-globose ovary, with the stylopodium, remains of the cor. 
. Persistent at the base of the subglobosecapsule. (Tas. III. f.4.) 
Margins of lakes and swamps, opposite St. Louis, grow-

Like C. Polygonorum, but with stouter stems, larger flowers, - 
. larger and convergent scales and ovary furnished with a 
stylopodium. The season of inflorescence is also much later 
than any other species. (Tan. III. f. 4.) - 
5. C. pentagona (n. sp.) ; flowers pedunculate subumbellate 
. Small 5-partite, tube of the cor. open campanulate shorter 
than the long acuminate lobes and the smooth roundish 
obtuse segments of the 5-angled calyx, stamens shorter than the 
limb, scales ovate fimbriate converging, styles filiform about 
. €qual to the globose ovary, capsule—.(Tas. III. f. 5.)

earing some resemblance to C. Polygonorum, but with 
Small flowers, and a 5-angled calyx, of which the lobes are 
 TOundish and obtuse, not triangular, &c. :

- few-flowered, flowers (small) long-peduncled 5-partite, tube 
of the cor, campanulate shorter than the lanceolate acuminate 
lobes and nearly equalling the ovate subacute segments of

- briate equalling the tube, styles as long as the ovary, capsule 
Blobose surrounded at the base by the persistent cor.
