Herb. Sherard. 

 In Carolina. Catesby. ©. v. s. in Herb. Sherard. Re- 

 sembles C. trichosantlies very much ; I have only seen

Ipomopsis inconspicua. Smith exot bot. I, t. 14. 



In North America. Hoy. ©. June, v. v. in Hortis. 

 Flowers small, pale blue. I insert this plant on the 

 authority of Exotic Botany ; but at the same time I 

 doubt very much of its being a native of North Ameri- 

 ca, and more strongly suspect it to come from Mexico. 



jb. 148. Phlox acuminata. — P. erecta, pubescens; caule angulato, 



foliis ovalo-lanceolatis acuminatis interne angustatissub- 

 petiolatis subtus pubescentibus, floralibus subcordatis, 

 corymbis paniculatis, corollae laciniis rotundatis, tubo 

 pubescente, calycibus aristatis. 



Phlox decussata. Lyon catal. 1812. 



On the mountains of Georgia and South Carolina. Lyon. 

 11 . Aug. Sept. V. V, in Hort. Lambert. From four 

 to five feet high : flowers very handsomely variegated^ 

 with dark and light shades of purple. 



*. 149. Phlox nitida. — P. erecta, glaberrima ; caule tereti maculato 



laevigato, foliis ovato-oblongis subcarnosis supra nitidis 

 atrovirentibus, subtus pallidis, corymbis fastigiatis, ra- 

 mis inferiiribus elongatis nndiusculis, corollae laciniis 

 lato-obovatis subreiusis^ dentibus calycinis lanceolatis 

 mucronatis. 



P. suffruticosa. Hortul. 



In South Carolina. Fraser. % . Aug. — Oct. v. v. in 

 Hortis. Near two feet high ; flowers of a brilliant 

 purple, which is deeper than in any other species. This 

 species approaches near to P. Carolina ; but besides its 

 other characters it distinguishes itself very easil^y by 

 flowering later and longer than that species.
