 acterization of a new allied genus. Bull. Torrey Bot, Club 46: 363-373. 1919.— A key is pre- 

 sented for the species of Kneiffia with descriptions of the following new species: A. sessilis,

 made: A', fruticosa humifusa (Allen), A*, tetragona (Roth), K. tetragona hybrida (Michx.), 

 and K. perennis (L.); while A. tetragona var. longistipata is offered as i new variety. A new

2391. Pennell, Francis W. Scrophulariaceae of the local flora. I. Torreya 19: 107-119. 

 1919. — The area concerned is that included within the local flora range of the Torrey Botanical 

 Club and the Philadelphia Botanical Club. The author has personally collected material 

 of each species and made descriptions of fresh corollas. The object of the study is (1) to 

 present detailed keys to the genera and species included in our flora, (2) to confirm the nom- 

 enclature, by stating the type-species and tracing the later history, (3) to give preliminary 

 observations on distribution. Detailed keys for the entire family are presented, representing 

 8 tribes and 21 genera, The genera and species are then taken up in det ail ; the present install- 

 ment discusses the tribes Verbasceae and Cheloneae, including the genera Verbascum (4 

 species), Pentstemon (5 species), Chelonc (1 species), and Scrophularia (2 species). One new 

 combination is proposed, Chelone glabra L. forma tomentosa (Raf.) Pennell. The study will 

 be continued.—./. C. Nelson. 



2392. Pennell, Francis W. Scrophulariaceae of the local flora, III. Torreya 19: 161- 

 171. 1919. — This installment takes up the tribe Digitaleae, containing the genera Veroni- 

 castrum (1 species) and Veronica (15 species, 1 variety). A detailed key to the species of 

 Veronica is presented. Two new species are described: Veronica Brittonii Porter, Columbia 

 University, the type from Marble Hill, Phillipsburg, New Jersey; and V. glandifera Pennell, 

 from Suffolk, Nansemond County, Virginia. One new combination is made: Veronica xala- 

 pensis IIBK. is reduced to a variety of V. peregrina L. V. humifusa Dickson of Gray's 

 Manual, Ed. 7, is identified with V. ruderalis Vahl. — J . C. Nelson.

 216. 1919. — This installment takes up the tribe Buchnereae, containing the genera Aureolaria 

 (4 species, 2 varieties), Agalinis (8 species) and Otophylla (1 species). One new variety is 

 described, namely, Aureolaria pedicularia (L.) Raf. var. intercedens, collected at Mt. Arling-

 Australian members of the genus. — Eloisc Gerry.
