1 have described above 6 of my most distinct 

 s[). of this Genus, 2 others Fl. gonophyla and 

 atrofusca of Illinois are in Atlantic Journal 

 page 150 ; but I have in my Herbarium a crowd 

 of other N. Sp. and varieties, some of which are 

 blended with VI. cordata^ media, lanceolata^ 

 major ^c of our botanists ; when I shall pre- 

 pare a Monograph of this G. they shall be dis- 

 tinguished. I have called them P/. elliptical 

 compressa, crassifolia, undulata, repanda., 

 rolundifolia^ riparian longipes, pycnanthes, 

 paticiflora, pilosa, brevifolia, breviseapis, 

 erlorhiza, serpentaria, peregrina, balduini. 

 . 748. LiTTORELLA FLExuosA Raf. This G. 

 was not deemed American, and this sp. will 

 form perhaps a N. G. when examined alive ; it 

 is at least a subgenus, which I call Xamotris 

 (dwarf raceme) and it differs by calix unequal, 

 imhricate segments of inner perig. or corolla 

 also unequal. Habit scapes racemose with- 

 out bracts. Scapose, leaves cespitose linear 



obtuse falcate smooth, base wooly, entire or 

 with a few scattered gashes, uninerve ; scapes 

 shorter flexuose racemose pauciflore — Sent me 

 from Alabama and found in Arkanzas by Nut- 

 tal. deemed by him a nameless Plantago in Coll.
