 Ipomopsis inconspicua. Smith exot bot. I. t. 14, 

 In North America. Huy. ©. June. v. v. in Horlis. 

 Flowers small, pale blue. I insert this plant on the 

 authority of Exotic Botany ; but at the same time I 

 doubt very much of its being a native of North Ameri- 

 ca, and more strongly suspect it to come from Mexico.

P. suffruticosa. Hortul. 



In South Carolina. Fraser. % . Aug. — Oct. v. v. in 

 Hortis. Near two feet' high ; flowecs of a brilliant 

 purple, which is deeper than in any other species. This 

 species approaches near to P. Carolina ; but besides its 

 other characters it distinguishes itself very easily by 

 flowering later and longer than that species.
