BOTANICAL GAZETE. 158 



Doubtless all that has been called L. canescens from New Mexico 

 and Arizona is of this species. According to Dr. Gray it is Wright's 

 No. 1563, Cones and Palmer's 275, and Rothrock's 202 and 633. 

 'I'hac it is distinct from L. canescens, is obvious at first sight of tlie 

 living plant, by the conspicuous tuft of root leaves. The pale yellow, 

 fragrant flowers arc commonly a;j large as those of L. hirtiiin. I 

 name the species in reference to that classical locality, Santa Rita del 

 Cobre, where Mr. Wright collected it first, and where I first saw it 

 in 1877. 



LiTHO.srERMUM viRiDE. — Sparingly slrigillose, and minutely ap 

 pressed-pubescent ; clustered stems simple, 1J2 to 2]/, feet high; 

 leaves pinnately 3-5 ribbed ; the cauline lanceolate or oblong-lan- 

 ceolate, 1-3 inches long, passing into lanceolate bracts; pedicels 

 ?-3 lines long; calyx parted to the base mto linear lobes a half-inch 

 long ; the light-green corolla salver form, 10 lines long ; its ample tube 

 somewhat clavaie, being manifestly contracted at the orifice, withouL 

 crests, and the glandular ring nearly obsolete, limb of 5 small, 

 rounded lobes reflexed against the tube ; stamens inserted high in the 

 throat; style exserted ; nutlets contracted to a narrow base, the scar 

 excavated and surrounded with a prominent margin. 



Collected in the Mimbres Mountains, near Georgetown, in 1877, 

 and on Swan Mountain, near Silver City, 1880 ; flowering from May 

 to October. A singular member of the genus, having wholly the 

 aspect of an Onosmodiiiin, and nutlets suggestive oi Syinpliytu)n. — Y,D-

New LocALiriES for some Ft.ORiDA Plants. — 'i'wo years ago, 

 when botanizing on the Halifax river at Port Orange, I first saw that 

 beautiful shrubl)y vine, Chiococca raceinosa, Jacq., and fell in love with 

 its racemes of snow-white berries and glossy dark-green leaves. This 

 year a friend described to me a vine which she had transplanted un- 

 successfully from Anastasia Island, across our harbor, to her garden, 

 and I hoped it might prove to be the Chiococca. I looked for it there 

 in June, but did not find it. However, in August, a more extended 

 search proved to my great delight that it is well established u|)on the 

 Island. It was too late then to secure specimens of the flowers, as 

 the young fruit had all set. This plant seems to be according to situ- 

 ation indifferently a small shrub, or a high growing shrubby vine. As 

 soon as I have another opportunity to visit this locality, 1 shall trans- 

 plant roots to my garden, and see if I can have this thing of beauty 

 always near by. 



Cynoctomun ? scoparium, Chapm., is described in the Southern 

 Flora as growing from "West Florida to Key West." Six years ago 

 I found it near the old lighthouse on Anastasia Island, and it still 

 flourishes there, climbing six or eight feet high over bushes and cov- 

 ering them with its masses of round green stems and small leaves. I 

 also observed this Cynoctomun at Daytona, at Port Orange and in rich 

 hummock lands on the banks of the Indian river; so I presume it can 

 safely be ascribed to the east as well as the west coast of the State.
