NEOPHYTON. 37 



nniflore, flowers pcd uncled — in Kentucky, Ten- 

 nessee and Apalachian mts. of Carolina, 2 or 3 

 feet high, corol yellow, berries red. I collect- 

 ed this in the glades of West Kentucky, 



286. Tkiosteum iiispidum Raf, stem flexu- 

 ose striate hispid, leaves sessile ovate spatulate 

 acuminate smooth ciliolate, axils uniflore, flow- 

 ers sessile, ovary hispid, calix smooth linear 

 lanceolate — in the glades of West Kentucky 

 with the last, but quite distinct by broader 

 smooth leaves quite sessile, corol orange color. 



287. Triosteum levigatum Raf. entirely 

 smooth, stem fistular, leaves sessile ovate rhom- 

 boidal acute at both ends, axils 2-3flore, flowers 

 sessile, berries safron color — on the Apalachian 

 mts. of Georgia and Alabama, seen alive in 

 gardens, quite distinct by perfect smoothness 

 of stem and leaves, flowers small orange color, 

 berries also or nearly safron color. 



288. Triosteum obovatum Raf, stem fistu- 

 lar tomentose, leaves sessile obovate broad am- 

 ple acuminate tomentose beneath, axils 2-3flore 

 fl. sessile, berries red — from New York to Illi- 

 nois, the most common sp. in the Western 

 States, often mistaken for the Tr. majus, quite 

 difterent from my connatum by sessile obovate 

 leaves, larger than in any other, stem 3 to 4 

 feet high. 



289. Phryma media Raf. subpubescent, 

 leaves petiolate equally serrate, lower cordate, 

 upper ovate acute, last pair sessile, bracts su- 

 bulate shorter than calix — in Kentucky, annual 

 and estival like all the species. Our botanists 

 admit of only one, but it offers so many devia- 

 tions that I have collected 3 incipient sp. 

 which I add with the real type of Phr, lepto- 

 stachya.
