GREENMAN. — NEW ANGIOSPERMS FROM MEXICO. 85 



which are frequently 1.5 cm. broad. To this species is also to be 

 referred Dr. Edward Palmer's no. 781 (hb. Gr.), from Agiabampo, 

 State of Sonora, collected in 1890. 



CuscuTA Epithymum, Murr., in L. Syst, ed. 13, 140. This Euro- 

 pean species, collected in the Valley of Mexico, altitude 2250 m., 27 

 June, 1901, by Mr. C. G. Pringle, no. 8514 (hb. Gr.), seems not to have 

 been hitherto reported from Mexico. 



Phacelia madrensis. Perennial, subacaulescent, hirsute-pubescent 

 throughout, not glandular-viscid: leaves mostly clustered at the end of 

 an ascending or erect rootstock, jiinnatifid, 1 to 4 dm. long ; segments 

 7 to 9, obovate or cuneate, coarsely and rather deeply toothed, 8 to 

 22 mm. long, 5 to 15 mm. broad, terminal segment somewhat larger, 

 the lowermost remote: inflorescence equalling or exceeding the leaves: 

 flowers scattered, mostly remote, on pedicels 8 to 16 mm. long: calyx 

 of 5 slightly unequal lanceolate, acute, or obtusish sepals : corolla cam- 

 panulate, 10 to 12 mm. in diameter, pale blue or whitish; tube about 

 equalling the broad semirotund lobes ; folds of the corolla-tube not 

 diverging at their free tips, puberulent along their margins : filaments 

 hirsute-pubescent: ovary conspicuously hirsute, about IC-ovulate; style 

 divided nearly to the base. — Mexico. State of Chihuahua : Sierra 

 Madre, near Colonia Garcia, altitude 2300 m., 2 July, 1899, Townsend S^ 

 Barber, no. 100 (hb. Gr.). 



The species here described belongs to the section Eutoca, and is ap- 

 parently most nearly related to Phacelia rupic(jla, Rob. & Fern., and 

 P. pimpinelloides, Gray. From the former it differs in the foliar char- 

 acters, the shorter pubescence, smaller calyx-lobes, and finally by the 

 approximate not divergent folds of the corolla-tube. From the latter 

 species, namely, P. pimpinelloides, Gray, the species here proposed is 

 readily distinguished by the spreading not appressed pubescence. 



Nama parvifolium. Low depressed annual, 0.5 to 1.5 dm. high, 

 cinereus-hirsute-pubescent throughout : stems j^rostrate or ascending, 

 more or less dichotomously branched : leaves broadly spatulate, or some- 

 what obloug-spatulate, 0.5 to 1.5 cm. long, 3 to 6 mm. broad, obtuse, 

 entire, contracted below into a narrowly winged petiolar base: flowers 

 axillary, solitary or in pairs on unequal frequently curved slender 2 to 5 

 mm. long pedicels : calyx deeply 4-5-parted ; divisions linear, acutish, 4 

 to 5 mm. in length, not dilated at the tip, hirsute-jjubescent with hairs 

 of unequal length : corolla 8 to 10 mm. long, white, or somewhat violet, 

 subequally 5-lobed : ovary pubescent : mature capsule oblong, obtusish, 

 4 mm. long, pubescent. — Nama rupicolum, Pav., ace. to Hemsl. Biol.
