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

 authers purplish : calyx in fruit oblong-ovate, about '■'> cm. long, defini 

 5-angled, with intermediate ribs: berry about 1 cm. in diameter, gla-

 Schlecht." P. Pringlei is evidently allied to /'. -. bul is qu 



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



calyx, and in the marking of the corolla. From /'. ghiiinosa 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 d ing 



lines: leaves undivided, spreading or Bomewhat reflexed, l-3-nen ed, lii 

 to linear-lanceolate, 1 to 2.~> cm. long, 1 to 1 nun. broad, a 

 slightly narrowed into a subpetiolate base, glabrous upon both Burfa 

 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 G 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. \ ; 

 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-l< 

 lip about 1.5 cm. long, only slightly spreading: perfect Btamens "-'. 

 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 Chi 

 ( uicatlan. Oaxaca, altitude 2.5<>0 m., 16-22 June. 1898, no. 760, and 

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

 altitude 1,500 m., June, 1899, no. 9G5. The author take- pleasure in 

 dedicating this beautiful species to Seiior Prof. C. Conzatti. whose i 



• efforts have contributed much to our knowledge of the llora of 



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



Sci. 1. L69, /-. Conzattii would stand near L. tenuifolia, Mart. & Gal., 



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



colored flowers.
