SiDA LiNDHETMERi, Gray. Sutherland Springs, Texas (102). 



SiDA FiLiPES, Gray. At Mouclova, Coahuila (lOG). 



SiDA TRAGi^EFOLiA, Gray. Mouutaius north of Monclova 

 (103). 



SiDA piiTsoCALYx, Gray. At San Antonio, Texas (88), and at 

 Parras, Coahuila (87). Two other undetermined species of tliis 

 genus were collected by Schaffner in the San Miguelito Mountains 

 (IGO) and near Morales (1G2). 



Abutilon Texense, Torr. & Gray. A small-leaved form, from 

 Laredo, on the Rio Grande (108). A variety (?) was collected by 

 Dr. Palmer at Sutherland Springs, and has also recently been found 

 by Dr. Havard in Western Texas, with large leaves roughish on the 

 nerves beneath, paniculately many-flowered, the calyx roughish-pubes- 

 cent and erect in fruit, and the carpels stellate-pubescent. In the 

 ordinary form the calyx is reflexed in fruit. 



Abutilon hypoleucum, Gray. At Monterey, Nuevo Leon (109), 

 and a variety from Caracol Mountains, Coahuila, with the carpels 

 less hispid (110). 



Abutilon holosericeum, Scheele. At Soledad, Coahuila (111). 

 Collected also at Monterey by Berlandier (148 and 1408) and by 

 Eaton & Edwards. A variety (?), with the tomentum roughish 

 throughout and the leaves less acuminate, was collected at Mouclova, 

 Coahuila (112). 



Abutilon crispum, Don. In the San Miguelito Mountains 

 (103 Schaffner). 



Sph^ralcea hastulata, Gray. At Saltillo (a solitary speci- 

 men), and in the San Miguelito Mountains (165 Schaffner). Also at 

 Guadalupe, Texas, a variety with elongated pedicels (the same as 

 173 Berlandier), and in the mountains east of Saltillo a form with 

 shorter ovate or oblong-ovate subhastate leaves (93). This species 

 is distinguished from the next by its more slender habit, the several 

 decumbent stems from a slender perennial rootstock, and by the 

 larger calyx. 



Sph^ralcea angustifolia, St. Ilil. The typical form of this 

 species, as figured by Cavanilles (Icones, 1. 48, t. 08), is received 

 from Duges at Guanajuato, with large oblong-lanceolate leaves 3 to 5 

 inches long and extending nearly to the top of the stem, the large 

 carpels rounded at the summit and not at all beaked, and their lateral 

 walls obscurely or not at all reticulated. This is strictly Mexican, 

 but does not appear in this collection, which includes instead several 

 forms of the common polymorphous variety that ranges northward to
