46 NEOBOT. 



the sea shore of Florida collected by Dr. Bald- 

 win, the good specimen in Coll. herb, has ena- 

 bled me to fix this Genus and sp. very different 

 from that of S. America. Stem erect terete, 

 leaves uncial commonly longer than internodes, 

 heads of flowers quite small depressed pauci- 

 flore, flowers white seariose, two segments of 

 the inner calix larger elliptic making the flow- 

 ers appear compressed, fruit discoidal flat len- 

 ticular, perhaps bivalve when ripe. I must add 

 the linnean sp. for contrast. 



846. Blutaparon repens Raf. Illec. vermic. 

 L. and of S. Amer. smooth creeping, leaves 

 sessile linear carnose semiterete, heads of flow- 

 ers oblong — Brazil, Guyana, Curazao, pedal, 

 leaves like hyssop sometimes verticillate by 4. 



Thus I was right when in the first volume 

 article Achyratithes, I stated that the plants 

 akin thereto were in utter confusion: our botan- 

 ists seldom verifying the Genera of their sp. 

 We have yet the G. Oploteca, with my Xeran- 

 dra, see fl. tel. 562, some real Celosias, and 

 Gomphrena naturalized, and my Adoketon see 

 first part, to which add that the Illecebrum al- 

 sinefolium of Scopoli is another sp. different 

 from my Ad. saxatile. 



847. CoRisPERMUM piLosuM Raf. pilose, stem 

 angular, leaves alternate linear elongate uni- 

 nerve, flowers in axillary glomerules ovate, se- 

 pals seariose pilose ovate acuminate trinerve. 

 — Found by Kin in Florida, realy of this G. 

 hitherto not known as American, whole plant 

 fulvous in the specimen and with scattered 

 hairs, leaves 1 or 2 inches long narrow, glome- 

 rules subovate, crowded and capitate at the top 

 flowers imbricate glumaceous squarrose, 2 se- 

 pals equal large, enclosing 1 single stamen fili-
