 Glatfelter, Pilot Knob, Aug. 20, 1895. A plant with strongly pubescent 

 stems and foliage as in L. procumbens, but apparently ascending and bushy- 

 branched as in L. violacea prairea, has been twice collected in the State, but 

 the specimens are too few to enable us to definitely dispose of them. The 

 specimens referred to are the following: Bush, McDonald Co., July 31, 

 1895.— Trelease, 223, Carter Co., Sept. 9, 1897. 



10. Lespedeza Manniana n. sp. 

 PI. II. f. 1. 



Perennial, 4-9 dm. tall, suberect, strongly pubescent above, 

 glabrate below; branches erect-ascending; leaflets oblong, 

 subcuneate, 1-4 cm. long, 4-12 ram. wide, obtuse and mucro- 

 nate at the apex, cuneate or rounded at the base, somewhat ap- 

 pressed-pubescent above, especially near the mid-vein, densely 

 appressed-pubescent beneath ; petiolules densely hairy ; 

 petioles (2-20 mm. long) and rachis less so; petaliferous 

 flowers in short racemes, on peduncles 12-24 mm. long, ex- 

 ceeding the leaves, the racemes often clustered near the 

 summit of the stem, 6-12 flowered ; flowers short-pedicelled ; 

 calyx strongly long-pubescent, the tube 2 mm. long, the 

 long acuminate subulate teeth 4-6 mm. long, and often ex- 

 ceeding the corolla; corolla purplish, 5-6 mm. long, the keel 

 usually not exceeding the wings and standard ; non-petalif- 

 erous flowers in nearly sessile clusters; pods oval, acute, 

 somewhat pubescent, from shorter than and included in the 

 calyx, to slightly exserted. 



Most closely related to L. N'lUtallii Darl., and to L. acu- 

 ticarpa (infra), but easily distinguished by its long sepals 

 and nearly included pod. Named in honor of Rev. Cameron 

 Mann, now Bishop of North Dakota, an ardent lover of nature 

 and a skilled botanist, with whom the writers have spent 

 many pleasant days in the field. It is very common in 

 open post oak land and in limestone barrens south of Kansas 

 City.
