in 5 distinct areas with numerous dark purple spots, internally at the 

 base densely pubescent ; lobes obtusish : filaments about equal, glabrous; 

 anthers purplisli : calyx in fruit oblong-ovate, about 3 cm. long, definitely 

 o-augled, with intermediate ribs : berry about 1 cm. in diameter, gla- 

 brous. — Collected by C. G. Pringle on the Sierra de Clavellinas, State 

 of Oaxaca, altitude 2,700 m., 18 October, 1894, no. 6001, distributed as 

 " P. foetens, Poir." ; also on the Sierra de Ajusco, Federal District, alti- 

 tude 2,600 m., 2 October, 1895, no. 6216, distributed as " P. glatinosa, 

 Schlecht." P. Pri)iglei is evidently allied to P. foetens, but is quite 

 different in the much less dentate-lobed leaves, larger flowers, longer 

 calyx, and in the marking of the corolla. From P. glutinosa on the 

 other hand P. Pringlei differs in the leaves being contracted and attenu- 

 ate at the base into a petiole, not cordate. 



Lamourouxia Conzattii. Herbaceous, probably perennial ; stems 

 and branches dark red or purplish, minutely puberulent in decussating 

 lines : leaves undivided, spreading or somewhat reflexed, 1-3-nerved, linear 

 to linear-lanceolate, 1 to 2.5 cm. long, 1 to 4 mm. broad, acute, serrulate, 

 slightly narrowed into a subpetiolate base, glabrous upon both surfaces, 

 margins more or less revolute : inflorescence in terminal usually one- 

 sided racemes; pedicels 0.5 to 1 cm. in length, minutely puberulent: 

 flowers large, 5 to 6 cm. long, scarlet, dark red or reddish-yellow; calyx 

 rather prominently 4-ribbed with intermediate less prominent ribs, puber- 

 ulent to nearly glabrous, lobes more or less unequal, lanceolate, 4 to 9 

 mm. long, equalling or exceeding the tube, obtusish, entire: corolla 

 externally pubescent, rather deeply bilabiate ; tube below narrow, ampli- 

 ated just above the base but not conspicuously ventricose ; lower 3-lobed 

 lip about 1.5 cm. long, only slightly spreading: perfect stamens 2, 

 shorter than and included under the galea ; anthers calcarate at the base, 

 villous-pubescent ; the posterior pair of stamens much shorter and bear- 

 ing reduced villous anthers : style exceeding the anthers in length, pu- 

 bescent ; capsule ovate, narrowed above, glabrous. — Collected by V. 

 Gonzalez and C. Conzatti on the Cerro de Papalo, camino de Cheve, 

 Cuicatlan, Oaxaca, altitude 2,500 m., 16-22 June, 1898, no. 760, and 

 by C. Conzatti on the Cerro de Yalina, District of Villa Alta, Oaxaca, 

 altitude 1,500 m., June, 1899, no. 965. Tiie author takes pleasure in 

 dedicating this beautiful species to Seilor Prof. C. Conzatti, whose ener- 

 iretic efforts have contributed much to our knowledge of the flora of 

 Southern Mexico. As the species of this genus are treated in Am. Jour. 

 Sci. 1. 169, L. Conzattii would stand near L. tenuifolia, Mart. & Gal., 

 hut it is readily distinguished by the larger, longer, and more deeply 

 colored flowers.
