ERYTHEA. 



long; npikes pedunculate, 1-2 cm. long, densely flowered; calyx 

 sessile, 3 mm. long, 5-toothed ; whitish corolla four times as 

 long, cylindrical, the short spreading five lobes crenate margined; 

 stamens inserted at the middle of the throat, slightly exserted; 

 anthers sagittate; style parted to the middle into two deeply-cleft 

 branches; fruit unknown. 



This plant somewhat resembles C. Palmeri Watson and like 

 that species belongs to De Candolle's Sec. Myxce {Splci former). It 

 is probably a shrub. Anthony's No. 384. Socorro Island. 



Cestrum Pacificum. De!)sely pubescent with branching hairs; 

 leaves oviite somewhat pointed, cuneate at base, 8-12 cm. long, 5-6 

 cm. wide, pubescent especially on the lower face with interlaced 

 branched woolly hairs; petioles 1-2 cm. long; inflorescence in 

 small axillary panicles, the flowers sessile or nearly so; corolla 

 10-12 mm. long, tubular-funnel form, the spreading pubescent, 

 acuminate lobes 3 mm. long; calyx tubular, half as long as the 

 corolla, pubescent with grayish branched hairs, teeth 1 mm. long, 

 deltoid-acuminate; stamens included; filaments thickened below 

 and toothed. 



Probably a bush. The specimens are young and lack mature 

 fruit. A grayish aspect is given to the whole plant by its dense 

 woolliness and the flowers, apparently ochroleucous, are very numer- 

 ous. Socorro Island. Anthony's No. 391. 



Nicotiana 5tocktoni. Pubescent throughout and somewhat 

 viscid above, 4-5 dm. high; leaves 8-10 cm. long, 6-8 cm. wide, 

 oblong to round-ovate, obtuse, cordate at base with undulate mar- 

 gins, on broad wing-margined and somewhat clasping petioles, 3-8 

 cm. long, more pubescent above than below ; flowers in a loosely- 

 spreading panicle, on pedicels 3-8 mm. long; corolla 4-5 cm. long; 

 tube narrowly tubular with ventricose throat, tubes spreading 6-8 

 mm. broad, greenish-white, pubescent; calyx lobes lanceolate, 

 obtuse. 5 mm. long, equaling the canipanulate tube; capsule as 

 long as the calyx. 



Collected on Socorro Island by Mr. A. L. Stockton. Apparently 

 annual and somewhat related to N. repanda Willd. Anthony's 

 No. 382. 



Teucrium affine. Low, diffuse, glabrous herb; leaves linear or 

 ovate, obtuse, cuneate at base, entire, 2—3 cm. long, 5-6 mm. wide,
