narrow sinus, appressed-pubescent above, paler and somewbat pubes- 

 cent beneath especially upon the veins, 2-2£ inches long, two thirds 

 as broad ; margins finely ciliated : peduncles filiform, half to two thirds 

 as long as the petioles, 1 -flowered ; pedicels about 5 lines long : calyx 

 segments ovate, acute, 2-3 lines long ; margin strongly ciliated : 

 corolla rotate, green, a little over an inch in breadth ; segments 

 almost linear, narrowed to an obtuse apex, inconspicuously striate, 

 but not reticulated, glabrous on the outside, white-bearded within, near 

 the throat: corona fuscous. — Collected in the barranca of Tepic, 

 10 October, 1893 (no. 5458). 



Goxolobus Jaliscensis. Branches densely and retrorsely pubes- 

 cent: leaves narrowly oblong, attenuate, abrupt or cordate at the base, 

 appressed-pubescent above, tomentose beneath, 15-20 lines long, 21-5 

 lines broad ; petioles pubescent, 4-5 lines in length : peduncles short, 

 nodose, 9-14-flowered ; pedicels 4 lines long, finely pubescent: calyx 

 segments ovate-lanceolate, acutish, densely pubescent, 1^ lines in 

 length: segments of the corolla ovate acutish, 11 lines long some- 

 what reflexed, pubescent on the outside, bearded on the upper surface 

 with short white hairs, yellowish green, somewhat striated : crown 

 orange: upper surface of the column brown: follicle fusiform, attenu- 

 ate ; outer surface roughened with fine longitudinal folds minutely 

 pubescent ; inner surface light yellow, smooth, and shining. — Collected 

 on dry, rocky hills near Guadalajara, 21 June, 1893 (no. 4402). 



Gonolobus diadematus, Edwards. This species, carefully 

 described and figured in the Botanical Register, iii. t. 252 (1817), is 

 referred to Mexico without more definite locality. So far as we know 

 the plant has not since been collected, and its present rediscovery by 

 Mr. Pringle in a barranca near Tepic, 10 October, 1893 (no. 5429), 

 is thus of interest as establishing more accurately its geographic 

 position. While corresponding in essential features to the original 

 characterization and plate, the specimens at hand have 8-11-llowered 

 peduncles, and somewhat larger leaves. The corolla turns nearly 

 black in drying, and Mr. Pringle states that the fruit is distinctly 

 pentangular. 



Physalis leptophylla. Stem slightly woody below, herbaceous 

 above, striate, finely pubescent, more or less strongly geniculate, and 

 with spreading branches: leaves ovate, entire, sharply acuminate, 

 unequal, and not attenuate at the base, very delicate in texture, 

 green and nearly glabrous upon both sides, 10 lines to 31 inches long, 

 two thirds as broad; margins finely ciliated; petioles h-'2\ inches 

 long, glandular- villous : flowers very small, commonly nodding,
