393. Seymeria tenuifolia Pursh. N. E. &c. 

 Afzeha cassioides Gm. Gerardia afzeha Mx. 

 branches terete rough, leaves smooth setaceous 

 lower pectinate pinnatifid, upper subcntire, flow- 

 ers racemose, peduncles subequal to leaves, seg-

 stem 3 or 4 feet (Elliot) much branched, small 

 slender leaves, calix quite cupular at base with 

 rounded sinusses and linear segments, corolla

 deeper and broader segments, sinusses obtuse, 

 corolla and capsule pubescent. 



395. Seymeria iieterophyla Raf. S. jack-

 leaves oblong lanceolate, lower pinnatifid seg-

 C. H, 2 to 4 feet high, branches incurved sub- 

 terete, leaves minute very short, calix almost 

 Sparted, corolla small segments ovate obtuse, 

 style short.
