NATURAL SCIENCES OP PHILADELPHIA. 165 



61. Phileozera (Philoxera was intended) multiflora, nov. gen., is Hyme- 

 noxys odorata, DC, Actinella odorata, Gray, PI. Fendl. 



62. Heleniuni Texanum is just Berlandier's plant, H. microcephalism, 

 DC, a species to include also H. elegans and heterophyllum, DC. 



63. Cirsium Texanum is C.filipendulum, Engelm., inTorr. k Gray, FL, 

 there regarded, I think correctly, as a variety of C. Virginianum. 



64. Specularia (Campanula) Linsecomia and Campanula Colorado- 

 en s e are S. (Campanida) leptocarpa, Engelm., Campylocera leptocarpa, Nutt. 



65. Arbutus Tex an a is the A. Menziesii of the Bot. Mex. Bound., p. 108, 

 and, so far as known, differs from the Western plant only in its smaller leaves. 



G6. Comarostaphylis glauca is the same plant as the foregoing. 



67. Bunielia arborea is B. oblongifolia, Nutt., the common species of 

 Lindheimer's and other Texan collections, and certainly a form of B. lanugi- 

 nosa. The long hairs of the lower surface of the adult leaves are not scanty. 



68. Pentstemon pauciflorus is Phlox pilosa, L. ! as to the solitary speci- 

 men in the Academy's herbarium, and nearly the whole description ; while to 

 Durand's herbarium was supplied a bit of the same Phlox and two small 

 specimens of Pentstemon gracilis, Nutt. or (which is probably the same thing) 

 a slender form of P. pubescens. The character " filamento sterili glabro apice 

 dilatato" is factitious, since there is no sterile filament in the Phlox, and that 

 of the real Pentstemon (which has been dissected out and displayed in the 

 specimen) is heavily bearded ! 



69. Pentstemon amplexicaule is P. Fendleri, Gray, well figured in the 

 second volume of Pacif. R. Road Reports ; and it is also, with scarce a doubt, 

 both P. acuminalus and P. nitidus of Douglas, &c. 



70. Drejera parviflora is the first plant of the collection at all new to 

 me. I believe it to be a congener of Sdiaueria parviflora and linearifolia, Torr. 

 Bot. Mex. Bound. 



71. Lithospermum prostratum is exactly Berlandier's No. 2311, L 

 Matamorcnse, DC. The nutlets are rather tawny than white, and are better 

 described by De Candolle than by Buckley. 



72. Echinospermum p i 1 o s u m is E. Redowshi, Lehm., which has been 

 confused with E. palulum, the same as Fendler's No. 634, Wright's 1569, &c. 



73. Echinospermum scabrosum is E. strictum, Nees, Torr., Bot. Mex. 

 Bound. 



73a. Eritrichium hispidum is E. Texanum, DC 



74. Nemopbila h i rs u ta (founded on decumbent branches) and N. p i 1 o s a 

 are both essentially alike, do not differ in the kind of pubescence, and are 

 both the original N. phacelioides, Nutt. 



75. Phacelia (Cosmanthus) hispida is Eutoca patuliflora, Engelm. & 

 Gray, PI. Lindh., (in herb. Durand) forms verging to E. slrictiflora, Engelm. & 

 Gray, 1. c. They all run together, and into Phacelia hirsula, Nutt., the proper 

 name. 



76. Phlox mac rant ha, the quite peculiar characters of which are totally 

 overlooked, and the seeds of which are wrongly said to be alate, has long been 

 known in Wright's and Lindheimer's collection (No. 467 of the latter), was 

 named P. Lindheimcri by Engelmanu, but published by Scheele under the name 

 of P. Rcemeriana. 



77. Convolvulus (Ipomea) caddoensis is Ipomca leptophylla, Torr., long 

 ago well figured in Emory's Gila Report. 



1862.]
