scaiiosis capsulam superantibus ; corolla " sulphurea " hypocraterimor- 

 pha, tubo vix bipoUicari usque ad limbum baud sesquipollicem latum 

 cylindraceo ; antheris in fauce inclusis ; seminibus Isevibus. — Tequila, 

 at the base of hills. (421.) This striking species does not agree with 

 the characters of any of those which Martens & Galeotti have referred 

 to Galonyction. As flattened in the dried specimens the tube of the 

 corolla is a third of an inch in diameter, while the expanded limb is 

 only an inch and a quarter. The filaments are inserted very low in 

 the tube ; the tips of the anthers are on a level with the orifice. 



Ipomcea Mexicana, Gray, Syn. Fl. 2. 210. Sepals broadly lan- 

 ceolate. Rio Blanco, among grass ; September. (583.) 



Ipomcea puxcticulata, Benth. Bot. Sulph. 136. The puncticu- 

 late leaves are well marked ; apparently an annual. Chapala, in old 

 fields. (702.) 



Ipomcea murdcoides, Eoem. & Schl., var. glabrata. "A large 

 irregular-growing tree, 20 to 30 feet high; the white blooms with a 

 yellow shading at the base of the tube." Chapala, on rocky hillsides. 

 (703.) — Palmer's specimens are glabrous or very early glabrate, even 

 to the calyx ; indeed, even the corolla is almost glabrous in the bud. 

 The calyx is short, the leaves acuminate, and the petioles elongated 

 (two to nearly three inches long). 



Ipomcea sid^folia, Choisy. Chapala, climbing over walls and 

 hedges. (721.)
