to include B. spicata, etc., as is done by Hook. f. in Benth, & Hook. 

 Gen. PI. 3. 5. Farther division of the genus would be equally justi- 

 fiable. 



AcLEiSANTHES LONGIFLORA, Gray. Trailing ; flowers white with 

 a purplish tinge, rather fragrant. At Laredo, on the Rio Grande 

 (1115), and at Parras, Coahuila (1116). 



AcLEisANTHKS Beklandieui, Gray. Flowers white, fragrant. 

 At Uvalde, Texas (1117). 



Selixocarpus Palmeri, Hemsl. in Bot. Biol. Centr.-Amer. 3. 6, 

 t. 70. At San Lorenzo de Laguna, Coahuila (1118). 



Selinocarpus ANGUSTiFOLius, Torr. Same locality (1119). 



Pentac^na poltcnemoides, Bartl. (P. raniosissima, Hook. & 

 Arn.) At San Luis Potosi (129 Schafifner) ; 64 Parry & Palmer. 



AcHYRONYCHiA Parryi, Hemsl. Near Morales, San Luis Potosi 

 (132 Schamier) ; 53 and 64| Parry & Palmer. 



PARONYcntA Mexicana, Hemsl. At San Luis Potosi (133 

 Schaffiier) ; Q5 Parry & Palmer. 



CoRRiGiOLA ANDiNA, THan. & Planch. At San Luis Potosi (136 

 Schaffuer) ; 54 Parry & Palmer. 



Celosia paniculata, Linn. At San Antonio, Texas (1147). 



Celosia Palmeri. Glabrous, the herbaceous branching stems 

 about 2 feet high : leaves lanceolate, acute, somewhat hastately lobed, 

 cuneate at base and shortly petioled, | to 2 inches long: flowers ses- 

 sile, rather crowded in short terminal naked panicles ; bracts broadly 

 ovate, acute, a third to one half as long as the brownish lanceolate 

 acute many-nerved sepals (2^ lines long): stigmas 2. — At Mon- 

 clova, Coahuila (1148) ; also in the Parry & Palmer collection 

 (1144), collected on the route from San Luis Potosi to Tampico. It 

 is allied to C. paniculata and C. virgata^ and is referred doubtfully to 

 the latter by Hemsley. It differs in its foliage, inflorescence, and 

 broader and less acuminate bracts and sepals, the latter with more 

 numerous and fainter nerves. 



Amarantus spinosus, Linn. At Laredo (1126). 



Amarantus chlorostach ys, Willd. At the same locality (1127); 

 786 Parry & Palmer is referred to this species.

 which is a similar state of the last species.
