A. Ludoviclamim, GRAY, p. 313. Exclude the habitat "California," which belongs to 

 the following. 



A. Cooperi, GRAY. A span to a foot high from a very thick ligneous-fleshy tuberous cau- 

 dex, puberulent, usually with some loose flowering branches : flowers pedicellate or the 

 upper sessile : calyx-lobes lanceolate, as long as the capsule : corolla violet or purple, three- 

 fourths inch long, rather deeply bilabiate ; upper lip 2-cleft, lower 3-parted ; lobes all lan- 

 ceolate and acute : anthers glabrous before dehisceuce : stigma funnelform-dilated, nearly 

 orbicular. Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 307 ; distributed by Pringle as A. Ludovicianum, var, 

 Cooperi. Common in S. Arizona to the borders of California ; first coll. by Cooper. 



3. CON6PHOLIS, Wallr. There are two species of this genus, 

 viz. : 



C. Americana, WALLR., p. 313, excl. reference to Endl. Iconogr. Cauline and bracteal

LENTIBULARIACE^E. 







1. TJTRICULARIA, L. See Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 287-289. 



U. minor, L., p. 315. Add syn. : U. (jibba, LeConte, Ann. Lye. N. Y. i. 76, t. 6, f. 5, not L. 

 Next to this, although somewhat resembling U. intermedia, comes the following. 



TJ. occidentalis, GRAY. Stems and foliage of the preceding : scape a span long, 

 3-5-flowered : pedicels somewhat spreading after anthesis : corolla with rounded palate 

 (3 or 4 lines in length and breadth) a little shorter than the upper lip : spur broadly conical, 

 acutish (2 lines long), ascending. Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 95. Falcon Valley, Washington 

 Terr., Suksdorf. 



U. biflora, LAM., p. 315. Add syn.: U. longirostris, LeConte, 1. c., and exclude the same 

 from U.Jibrosa. 



U. purplirea, WALT., p. 316. The smaller-flowered plant, with corolla only 3 or 4 linos 

 wide, which proves to be the commoner form in the Atlantic Southern States, is probaldy 

 Walter's, with " floribus parvis." Probably it passes into the larger-flowered 



U. COrmita, MICHX., p. 317. Correct char.: stem 1-5-flowered at summit: lips of the 

 corolla half-inch long, lower with the two sides fully as broad as the ample palate : spur 

 subulate, as long as the lower lip, porrect or descending. A common Northern as well as 

 Southern species. 



U. juncea, VAHL. Resembles the preceding: stem racemosely or rather spicatoly 4-10- 

 flowered ; lower flowers more or less distant : lips of the corolla 3 or 4 lines long, the lower
