acute, and scarcely a line long-. Fruiting peduncle near- 

 ly the leng-ili of the flower. CnroUa very similar te that 

 of G. temiifoUa. Calix campanulate, minutely 5-tooihed. 

 Capsule ovate, longer than the calix. Root annual, very 

 small. Now and then very minute leaves appear lo be 

 produced, but they are generally wanting. 



7. *JiUfoUa. Perennial? Stem terete, branched; leaves 

 filiform, carnose, subtasciculate, and alternate; flower- 

 ing peduncles longer than the leaves, alternate, calix 

 acutely toothed; corolla large, veutricose-campanulate. 

 Hab. In West Florida. Dr.Baldwyn. Obs. Leaves fili- 

 form, about ari inch long, nearly terete, smooth, and very 

 slender, in the only diied specimen before me alternate, 

 collected in axillary cluster.s; flowers purple, as large as 

 G purpurea, orifice of the corolla pubescent, and ventri- 

 cose, flowering peduncle near an inch and a halt long. A 



■species in aspect very distinct from all the preceding. I 

 suspect it to be either suffi-utlcose or shrubby. 



8. auricnlata. Chiefly indigenous to the western states 

 as far as Louisiana, it has also been once found near Ches- 

 ter in Delaware by Dr. Darlington, as I have been inform- 

 ed by Mr. Collins. This plant is considered to be Erimis 

 ^Ifvicamis in Muhlenberg's Catalogue, but siu'ely neither 

 the same species nor genus, if there be any essential cha- 

 racter in Eriniis. It is more probably a species of Scyme- 

 ria. 9. cumifulia. Ph. Calix 5 parted; leaves serrate. 

 G. Zanc</b//fl.^ xMuhl Catal. Not of this genus? 10. fru- 

 ticosa. Ph. Leaves lanceolate, seiTate, calix 5-parted; 

 flowers racemose and bracteate. Is it not rather a Digi-- 

 talis? 



f t Floivers yelloto. ( Calix sernqnimpdjid.) 

 11. fava. 12. qnevcifulia. Ph. 13. Pedicularia. Leaves 

 nearly smooth, oblong, and pinuatificl, segments uncinate, 

 serrate.— Common throughout the middle spates. ^. pec- 

 tinata. Stem and brandies densely pilose; leaves ovate, 

 pectinately subbipinnatifid, softly pubesctnt; calix hir- 

 sute, peduncle much shorter. Hab. In the sandy pine 

 forests of Carolina and Georgia. A much finer plant than 

 the common species and probably distinct; the lacinix 

 and serratures diverge nearly at right angles; flowers ve- 

 ry large and yellow. 



' Probably an American genus, excluding the species of 

 Africa and India.

 Calix S-parted nearly to the base. Corolla 

 rotate-carupaniilate, alaiost equally 5-iobed.
