coarsely toothed or pinnatifid: corolla 2-3 em. long; limb 3-5 cm. broad: capsules 

 about 1.5 cm. in diameter: seeds glabrous. {Ipomoea dissecta (Jacq.) Pursh.] 



In sandy places, near the coast, Georgia and Florida to Texas, and in tropical America. 



Page 965, after Jacquemontia Curtissii, insert : 



lb. Jacquemontia reclinata House. Perennial, tomentulose. Stems elongated, 

 prostrate or ascending, woody below: leaf -blades oblong to ovate-orbicular, 1-3 cm. 

 long, obtuse or retuse: peduncles usually shorter than the leaves: sepals 2-3 cm. long: 

 corolla 2.5 cm. broad; lobes ovate, obtuse: capsules ovoid, 4-5 mm. in diameter. — 

 Differs from J. Curtissii in the tomentulose young foliage, the succulent herbage and 

 the ovoid thick-walled capsules. 



In liammocks, eastera coast of peninsular Florida. Also in the Bahamas. All year. 



Page 966, at the end of Convolvulaceae, add: 



11. ARGYREIA Lour. 

 Perennial, climbing or twining vines. Leaves alternate: blades of an ovate type, 

 cordate, usually entire. Flowers few, in axillary peduncled cymes. Sepals leathery, 

 equal or unequal, often colored within. Corolla usually colored, showy. Ovary 2- 

 celled, 4-ovuled. Styles united up to the capitately 2-lobed stigma. Fruit baccate, 

 indehiscent. — Differs from the preceding genera in the baccate fruit. 



1. Argyreia speciosa (L.) Sweet. Stems tom.entose. Leaf -blades broadly 

 . ovate, 12-20 cm. long, glabrate above, silvery pubescent beneath, the veins con- 

 spicuous: bracts ovate-elliptic, unequal, glabrous within: sepals 4-5 mm. long: 

 corolla purple, about 5 cm. long, the tube inflated-cylindric. 



In hammocks and waste places, southern Florida and the West Indies. Naturalized 

 from tropical Asia. 



Page 968, after Cuscuia arvensis, insert: 



4a. Cuscuta Hdrperi Small. Foliage whitish or pale yellow. Stems very slender, 

 rather loosely matted: flowers distinctly slender-pedicelled, in loose clusters: calyx 

 short-campanulate ; lobes 5, deltoid-ovate to orbicular-ovate, obtuse, about as long as 

 the corolla-tube: corolla broadly campanulate; lobes 5, ovate, acute, shorter than the 

 tube: scales narrow, with very few irregular processes: capsules spheroidal, about 1.5 

 mm. in diameter, each seated in the persistent corolla: seeds less than 1 mm. long. 

 — Differs from C. arvensis in the more slender habit, the smaller flowers, the scales 

 with fewer processes and the smaller capsules and seeds. 



On Chondropliora, Georgia and Alabama. Summer. 



Page 978, after Phlox bifida, insert: 



13a. Phlox Stellaria A. Gray. Perennial, glabrous or nearly so. Stems diffuse, 

 the branches decumbent: leaves opposite; blades linear or nearly so, 1.5-6 em. long, 

 slender- tipped, often ciliate at the base: calyx 7-8 mm. long; lobes subulate, much 

 shorter than the tube : corolla blue or nearly white ; tube nearly twice as long as the 

 calyx; limb about 2 cm. wide, the lobes 2-cleft to above the middle, the segments 

 ovate or oblong-ovate: capsules 3-3.5 mm. long. — Differs from P. bifida in the gla- 

 brous or nearly glabrous foliage, the glabrous calyx and the shallowly cleft corolla- 

 lobes. 



In barrens and on cliffs, southern Illinois to Kentucky and Tennessee. Spring. 



Page 980, after Gilia rubra, add: 



4. Gilia longiflora (Torr.) G. Don. Annual, glabrous. Stem 2-7 dm. tall, 



paniculately branched, firm: leaves alternate; blades pinnately parted into slenderly 



linear segments 1-4 cm. long: flowers in corymbs: calyx about 6 mm. long; lobes 



lanceolate-subulate, shorter than the tube: corolla white; tube slender, 3-3.5 cm. 



long; lobes oval to orbicular-oval, fully 1 cm. long: capsule oblong, 11-13 mm. long. — 



Differs from G. rubra in the white corolla with its slender tube and the narrowly 



oblong capsule which much surpasses the calyx. 



On plains and prairies, often in pine woods, Nebraska and Colorado to Texas and 

 Arizona. Spring and summer. 



Page 989, after Solanum gracile, insert: 



5a. Solanum villosum (Mill.) Lam. Annual, villous-hirsute. Stema mostly 

 2-8 dm. tall, branched: leaf -blades ovate to suborbicular, 1-4 cm. long, obtuse or
