160 Small : The flora of peninsular Florida 



especially on the lower part of the stem, 1.5-3.5 cm - l° n g> abruptly 

 pointed or mucronate, often slightly veiny: racemes many-flow- 

 ered, the rachis becoming 12-20 mm. long: pedicels becoming 9- 

 12 mm. long:, sepals 4.5-5.5 mm. long, nearly linear to some- 

 what spatulate: petals white or nearly so, 6-8 mm. long, the 

 claws prominently sharp-toothed, the blades orbicular to reni- 

 form, undulate: stamens 7-8 mm. long, the anthers about ^3 as 

 long as the filaments: ovary-body about as long as the stipe: 

 pod-bodies 5-6 mm. long, curved, terminating the stipe, which 

 becomes 6-7 mm. long. 



Named for Mr. J.J. Carter, of Pleasant Grove, Pennsylvania, 

 who has been associated with the writer in the exploration of South 

 Florida. 



This, apparently the most common species of Warea, occurs 

 in great abundance, especially in southern peninsular Florida. 

 Specimens belonging here have hitherto been confused with 

 Warea cuneifolia (Muhl.) Nutt. Warea Carteri differs from W. 

 cuneifolia in its narrower sepals, white corolla, suborbicular or 

 reniform petal-blades, longer stipitate ovary, shorter pedicels, 

 longer pod-body and shorter mature stipe. The type specimens 

 were collected in pinelands between Cutler and Black Point, 

 Florida, November, 1903 {Small &f Carter 831). Other specimens 

 belonging here are as follows: 



Miami, November, 1878, Garber 26; October and November, 

 1903, Small & Carter 511. Indian River region, September, 

 Curtiss 171. 



Cracca corallicola sp. nov. 



Perennial, densely pale-hairy all over, the branches, peduncles 

 and petioles short-hirsute: stem erect, 4-19 dm. tall, densely 

 branched, the branches decidedly zigzag, rather rigid: leaves 

 numerous, 4-1 1 cm. long; leaflets 11-15, 9-31 mm. long, the 

 blades linear to linear-oblong, mucronate, prominently ribbed, 

 copiously pubescent: stipules quite persistent, 1-3 mm. long: 

 racemes several-flowered, borne on short peduncles: pedicels 

 stout, becoming 2-3.5 mm - long: calyx permanently hirsute; tube 

 broadly campanulate; lobes subulate above the broader bases, 

 the lower ones nearly as long as the tube: corolla pinkish or 

 purplish; standard 7-1 1 mm. long; blades orbicular or obovate- 

 orbiculate; wings 6-7 mm. long; keel shorter than the wing- 

 petals: pods 3.5-4.5 cm. long, about 3 mm. wide, finely pubes- 

 cent: seeds fully 3 mm. long.
