SOLANACE.E. 437 



CHAM^SARACHA PHYSALOIDES, Greene, in Torr. Bull. ix. 122, is Phy sails lobata, Torr. 



BELLINIA UMBELLATA, Roem. & Schult. (Saracha umbellata, Don; Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 

 xix. 91 ), a common Mexican species, was collected by Lemmon in S. Arizona, on the Mexican 

 frontier, perhaps only adventive. The genus is known from the present and from Physalis by 

 the enlargement and rotate expansion of the fructiferous calyx under the berry into a membrana- 

 ceous 5-angled plate. 



8. MARG-ARANTHUS, Schlecht. P. 237, add a second species, - 



M. Lemmoni, GRAY. Very much branched and decumbent, more leafy : leaves all quite 

 entire : calyx more deeply 5-dentate ; the teeth at length half the length of the tube : corolla 

 white, campanulate-urceolate above the very short tube ; orifice obtusely 5-lobed. (It might 

 be Phi/salis mimitiflora, Moc. & Sesse, but leaves not at all repand, as they are in M. solana- 

 ceus. Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 91. Cave Canon, S. W. Arizona, Lemmon. 



10. LYCIUM, L. 



L. Richii, GRAY, Proc. Am. Acad. v. 46. Name to take the place of the later L. Palmeri, 



Gray, p. 238 (Proc. Am. Acad. viii. 292) ; abundant at All Saints' Bay, Lower California. 



L. quadrifidum, Dunal, founded on a rude figure, might be the same, except for larger size 



and much shorter tube of corolla, so that it is with more probability referred to L. Carolinia- 



num by Miers. 

 L. macrodon, GRAY, p. 238. Rediscovered by Pringle, beyond the border of S. W. 



Arizona, on the Altar River ; lias remarkably long and narrow calyx-lobes, white corolla 



tinged with green, and a very large hypogynous disk of a deep orange color. 

 L. Californicum, NDTT., p. 238. Distinguished by its fleshy leaves, and limb of the small 



tetramerous corolla nearly as long as the tube. Common on the coast of S. California from 



Santa Monica to San Diego. 



Var. Arizonicum. Leaves bright green, extremely fleshy, the small ones of the 



fascicles on the brauchlets pyriform or globular! Desert of Arizona, Parn/ (imperfect 



specimen was referred to L. parviflorum), at Lowell, Parish, and Maricopa, A. Gray. 

 L. parviflorum, GRAY, p. 239. S. Arizona, Thurber, Pringle. May pass into L. barbino- 



duin (which is not within our limits), but does not show the tomentulose nodes of the 



fascicles. 

 L. Premonti, GRAY, p. 239, is not uncommon in Arizona (coll. Parry, Vasey, &c.). and it 



passes into the equally abundant 



Var. gracilipes, L. gracilipes, Gray, p. 239, with pedicels from a third to half an inch 



long, often quite as long as the flower. S. Arizona, Parish, Pringle, &c. 



Other puberulent species, the first two more or less extra-limital, are : 



L. exsertum, GRAY. Very much like the last preceding: leaves spatulate (not over half- 

 inch long) : pedicels hardly half-inch long, about the length of the corolla: lobes of the 

 calyx acute, shorter than the tube : corolla-lobes very short, triangular-ovate, reflexcd : 

 stamens much exserted. Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 305. Near Altar, in N. W. Souora, 

 Pringle, 



L. Pringlei, GRAY, 1. c. Cinereous-puberulent : branches slender : leaves spatulate and oh- 

 lanceolate (about quarter inch long): pedicels 2 or 3 lines long: calyx with oblong and 

 obtuse foliaceous lobes equalling or longer than the tube and almost equalling the tube of the 

 corolla, which is barely 3 lines long, and longer than its own 5 roundish lobes : stamens 

 shorter than the corolla lobes ; filaments densely bearded at base. In stream-beds, N. W. 

 Sonora, near the boundary, Prinr/le. 



L. Parish.il, GRAY, 1. c. Resembling the preceding, equally small-leaved and puberulent: 

 pedicels 2 or 3 lines long : corolla narrowly funnelforin (5 lines long), thrice the length of 

 the obtuselv and rather short-lobed calyx, with short 5-lobed limb ; the lobes a line long, 

 ovate, obtuse, at length equalled by the stamens. Mesas in the San Bernardino Valley, 

 S. California, Parish.
