 and 0-re/Ayu.a, crown.) - - Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 294. Single species. 



H. Pringlei, GRAY. 1. c. Diffusely spreading perennial herb, with branches a foot or so in 

 length, banlly at all twining, ptiberulent : leaves opposite, small, sagittate-cordate, half-inch 

 to inch long, on petioles of nearly same length: peduncles axillary, 2 -flowered : pedicels 

 slender : calyx-lobes attenuate-lanceolate : corolla-lobes lanceolate, thickish, veinless, 3 lines 

 long, the upper face dark brown-purple, its rameutaceous setae whitish, or those toward the 

 throat purplish and natter, more spatulate and stipitate : strap-shaped lobes of the crown 2 

 lines long, erect, purplish : follicles fusiform, armed with rather rigid processes : seeds co- 

 niose . Water-courses in rocky hills, JS T . W. Sonora, south of Altar, therefore not very 

 near the Arizona boundary, yet may reach it, Pringle, 1884.

 to the throat of the corolla.) HBK. Nov. Gen. & Spec. iii. 198, t. 232 ; Gray, 

 Proc. Am. Acad. xii. 74; Hcmsl. Biol. Centr. Am. Bot, ii. 335. Three good 

 species now known, two of them south of the Istlunus. 



L. Arizonicum, GRAY. Pubescent herb, freely twining : leaves thin, cordate-sagittate, 

 loug-petioled : peduncles slender, umbellately few-flowered : corolla white, externally gla- 

 brous, with narrow tube almost as long as the ovate-oblong lobes, these lightly green-reticu- 

 lated ; throat retrorsely villous: crown simple, its thickish free margin 10-crenate : follicles 

 ovate-lanceolate, smooth and glabrous, acutely 3-5-costate. Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 296. 

 Santa Cataliua Mountains, S. Arizona, Lemmon, Pringle. One specimen from Lemmon, in 

 flower, was mistaken for Gonolobus reticulalus, another (in fruit only) for Rothrockia, in Proc. 

 Am. Acad. 1. c. 295. 



15. GONOLOBUS, Michx. 



G. obliqUUS, Tl BR., p. 104. The flowers of this are said to have the scent of Calycanthus. 

 The var. Sliurtu is to be excluded. 



G. hirsutus MICHX., p. 104. Crown nearly as in G. olliqmis, that is, with the intermediate 

 crenatures more or less bidentate, all very short, Varies freely, as shown by Dr. Melli- 

 champ, into 



Var. flavidulus. Corolla from dingy brown-purplish to greenish and dull straw-color, 

 the reticulated veins more evident as the hue is lighter. G.flavidulus, Chapm. Fl. 368, & 

 Bot. Gazette, iii. 12; Gray, in ed. 1, 394. G. wacropltijllus, Ell. Sk. i. 327. Common with 

 the darker-flowered plants, from S. Carolina to Florida. 



G. Shortii, GRAY. (To come before G. Carolinensis, in the same subdivision.) Resembles 

 G. oblifjiiits. but commonly larger-leaved, and the flowers also said to have the scent of Caly- 

 canthus blossoms ; the bud conical-oblong : corolla dark crimson-purple, its lobes ligulate, 

 fully half-inch long: crown with about 10-dentate margin, the narrow intermediate teetli 

 thinnish, either emarginate or two-parted, a little exserted beyond the alternate broader and 

 thicker ones. Bot. Gazette, viii. 191. G. oUic/inis, var. Shortii, Syn. Fl. 104. Along the 

 mountains, E. Kentucky, Short, N. W. Georgia, Chapman. Probably common. 

 G. Carolinensis, 11. BR., p. 104. Flowers said by Engelmann to have a cimicine odor: 

 crown with more exserted subulate bifid teeth, but these variable. From near Washington 

 and S. Missouri, southward. 



G. Baldwinianus, SWKET, p. 104. Corolla clear white, according to Chapman. Where- 

 fore the G. hirsutus, Lodd. Cab., may be the \sr.flavidulus of that species.
