foliage : leaves inch to inch aud a half long, with 6 to 9 filiform -linear 

 segments and narrow rhachis : flowers 9 lines in length, in long rather 

 dense puberulent racemes ; lower bracts much like the leaves, the upper 

 gradually reduced to small lanceolate or subulate scales ; pedicels erect, 

 slender, 2 to 4 lines long : calyx fuuuel-form, gradually and considerably 

 anipliated, with broad orifice oblique, scarcely split ventrally and not at 

 all dorsally, about half inch in length, golden yellow : corolla concolorous, 

 about 9 lines in length, puberulent upon the considerably exserted galea : 

 capsule ovate-oblong, acutish, 3 lines in length. — Collected by C G. 

 Pringle, on wet bluffs of barrancas above Cuernavaca, State of Morelos, 

 altitude 7,000 feet, 19 November, 1895, no. 6204. Nearly related to C 

 tenuifolia, Mart. & Gal., and C. gracilis, Benth., but distinguished from 

 the former by its yellow flowers, more dense and continuous inflorescence, 

 narrower acuter capsule, and smaller seeds ; from the latter by the color 

 of the flowers and much more exserted galea, denser racemes, etc. 



Carlowrightia glandulosa. Low much branched shrub, 1 to 3 

 feet in height, densely glandular-tomentose and viscid : cortex of the older 

 branches pale gray : leaves ovate, acute, entire, cordate, soft-pubescent 

 upon both surfaces, the larger ones 12 to 15 lines in length, three fourths 

 as broad, the floral ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, half inch in length, 

 somewhat acute at the base : petioles nearly or quite half the length of 

 the leaf: flowers 1 to 4 in the opposite axils, closely sessile: calyx-tube 

 very short, divisions narrowly linear-attenuate, 3 lines in length, glandu- 

 lar-pubescent : corolla bluish, 4-parted ; the emarginate posterior lobe 

 purple-veined and marked with yellow at the ceutre ; tube 2 lines long ; 

 lobes 4 to 5 lines in length : capsule glabrous and lucid, tlu-ee fourths 

 inch long, with pungent tip, seeds orbicular, dark brown with lighter 

 colored margin, 2i lines in diameter. — Collected by C. G. Pringle at 

 Monte Alban, near Oaxaca, altitude 5,500 feet, 5 December, 1895, no. 

 6276. This species is nearest C. pubens, Gray, but differs from it most 

 obviously in its cordate and considerably larger lower leaves, as well as 

 larger flowers and seeds. 



Carlowrightia (?) Pringlei. Shrub, 3 to 5 feet high, with slender 

 glabrous terete stems covered with smooth grayish brown cortex : leaves 

 ovate-lanceolate, acute, entire, rounded at the base, glabrous on both 

 surfaces or minutely strigillose on the veins beneath, 8 to 12 lines long, a 

 third as broad ; petioles a fourth inch long, glabrous but often with a tuft 

 of white hairs at the base within : floriferous branches slender, recurved : 

 flowers sessile, secund, solitary or 2 together in the same axil, the oppo- 

 site axil being empty : bracts small, subulate : calyx-tube very short ;
