By an oversight an error was made on page 37, under Cryptentke, 

 Krynitzkia glomerate Gray, is changed to C. glomerate Lehmann. It 

 should have been given as Oreocarya glomerata (Pursh) Greene.

SOLANACEiE. 



147 Physa lis mollis Nutt . var . cinerascens Gray . The leaves are broadly 

 ovate, 2 in. long, angulately toothed or repand, very thin; pub- 

 escence stellate or simple (even a little glandular,) very short, ex- 

 cept on the calyx, the pedicels, the petioles and younger parts of 

 the stem, where it is long and soft; petioles as long as the leaves or 

 longer; corolla greenish-yellow with a darker spot; anthers yellow; 

 fruiting calyx globose-ovate. Under the cliffs on the south side of 

 Scott's Bluff, July 20, 1891, (R.) 



148. Pliysalis sp . (near P. hedercefolia Gray.) Leaves scarcely over 1 in. 



long, ovate, thickish; petioles generally shorter than the blades; 

 fruiting calyx globose, about 1 in.; pubescence short, with a few 

 long hairs, a little glandular. According to Mr. Holzinger it stands 

 nearest P. hederaefolia, but it differs from the description of that 

 species in Gray's Synoptical Flora, in that the pedicels are much 

 longer, the leaves, larger and less toothed, and that it is very 

 little glandular. It approaches P. fendleri. Prairies near Ash- 

 ford, Banner Co., Aug. 6, (R.) 



149. (?) Physalis palmeri Gray Leaves thickish, ovate, angulately toothed; 



petioles of the length of the blade which is 1-1^2 in. ; fruiting calyx 

 ovate, (about an inch) on a slender pedicel. Stem low and nearly 

 prostrate, strong scented; pubescence viscid, with short hairs. Sandy 

 banks of a draw southwest of Sidney, Aug. 18. P. palmeri has 

 been collected in southeast California, and this is entirely out of 

 its supposed range. It may, therefore, be something else, (R.) 



150. Physalis longifolia Nutt. {P. lanceolate Michx. var. laevigata Gray . ) 



I believe that this has a very good right to be separated from P. 

 lanceolata. as the berry is yellow, stalked in the calyx which is ovate, 

 less angled and not sunken at the base; the bottom of the calyx, 

 stipe, and lower part of the berry glutinous, as if it were painted 

 with molasses. Lawrence Fork, Banner Co., July 8; Kimball, Aug. 

 12, 1891, (R.)
