(sac, upcurvecl toward hood, its anterior surface incurved forming 

 a broad pouch into which anthers shed pollen and into which the 

 stigma grows, apparently ensuring self-pollination); externally gla-

 long. Anthers .6 mm. long, elliptic or hemispheric, yellow, the 

 walls thin; sacs contiguous by a broad contact, opening throughout.

13. Fagelia micrantha Pennell, sp. nov. 



Stem spreading and laxly ascending, 2-3 dm. long branched, 

 sparsely pubescent below with short few-celled gland-tippecl hairs. 

 Leaves 2-4 cm. long, the blades acute or obtusish at apex, irregu- 

 larly pinnately lobed with 1-2 pairs of segments, the incisions usually 

 reaching ^ to f the distance to the midrib, the lobules and main 

 portion of the blade irregularly dentate, 1 5-3 cm. long, 1.5-2.5 cm. 

 wide; each on a petiole .5-1 cm. long, slight'y winged, pr3ximally 

 clasping stem and slightly connate with, that of opposing leaf; abo-ve 

 cleep-green, with sparse scattered pubescence soon becoming gla- 

 brous, beneath pale-green and nearly glabrous. Corymb leafy- 

 bracted at base (the two primary flowers developed), the secondary 

 branches scarcely or not longer than the primary pedicels, usually 

 once dividing, and bracted with reduced leaves. Peduncles and 

 pedicels pubescent with short gland-tipped hairs. Calyx 3-4 mm.
