*H. lobocarpum, n. sp. Hollow Rock, West Tenn. July. 



"'^H. lobocarpum Gattinger, n. sp. Sapals Hnear-lanceolate, small, 

 unequal, ll-Z lines long. Petals unequal, unsymmetric, 3-G lines long, 

 reflected, early deciduous. Capsule five-celled, deeply five-lobed, lanceo- 

 late, tapering into a long beak. Carpels almost distinct, and at full 

 maturity falling away from a central axis. Seeds 1 mm. long, incurved, 

 apiculate, striate lengthwise, transversely groove l. Leaves linear, obtuse, 

 slightly mucronate, attenuate downwards, pale underneath. 



Shrub, 5-7 feet high, with upright br.uiches. Low swampy lands in 

 the orange sand formation at Hollow liock, Carroll Co., West Tennessee. 

 First collected in fruit in 1867, and again July, 1886, in llower. Only two 

 shrubs found, in very swampy ground, at the time nearly inaccessible. I 

 have since received specimens of a Hypericum Libelled H. prolilicum, 

 "collected by Dr. H. E. Hasse of Little Kock, Ark., in wet pine barrens," 

 which prove to be the same species.
