oblong obtuse — in Louisiana, sent me by Rid- 

 del as Sabatia gracilis ? pedal, not slender, fo- 

 liose, leaves large often 2 inches long, flowers 

 few white terminal, peduncles thick erect un- 

 cial. My G. Phienia fi. tel. 497 includes all 

 the Sabatias with unequal innltiple calix and 

 corolla, 6-12 stamens, style erect. 



974. Plfienta leucantiia R. slender 2-3cho- 

 tome branches anceps, leaves lanceolate acute 

 hardly trinerve, flowers on long peduncles,calix 

 8-lOparted linear, corolla double of calix, seg- 

 ments cuneate obtuse — this is the Sab. gracilis 

 of many botanists, but not of all, the true one 

 not being a Pleienta ! on Sea Shores from 

 South New Jersey to Florida, pedal, leaves un- 

 cial, flowers- large and fine, sometimes 2 inches 

 wide

 nal, calix base campanulate Sgone, segments 

 linear elongate nervose, corolla as long as calix, 

 segments broad obovate, trinerve at base — 

 anonymous sp. of Nuttal, which deserves per- 

 haps to be a genus Neurola Raf. by calix Sgone 

 corolla nerved, stamens rolled up but not twist- 

 ed, st3^1e declinate and with linear stigmas as 

 in Sabbatia. From Arkanzas, 8 inches high, 

 leaves small remote semi-uncial, flowers large 

 over uncial incarnate? Neiirola arkanzica 

 will be a better name.
