11. Miscellaneous Genera and Species. 



Malvacece. 



Callirrhoe LiNEAKiLOBA. Facies inter C. involucratam et C. 

 digitatam, parum hirsuta, nunc glabella ; caulibus adscendentibus ; 

 foliis 1-2-pedatipartitis, segmentis lobisve liuearibus vel laiiceolatis ; 

 peduuculis elongatis ; iuvolucri phyllis lis G. involucratce similibus sed 

 minoribus erectis ; corolla C. involucratce nisi colore pallide lilacino ; 

 carpellis glabriusculis, rostro brevi e margine dcnticulato dorsali 

 (modo C. Papaveris) libero. — Malva involucrata, var. lineariloha, 

 Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 226, probably, though I have not the specimens 

 of Drummond. It is evidently Berlandier's no. 1815. It comes not 

 rarely from Texas, is no. 85 and 86 of Palmer's Texauo-Mexican col- 

 lection from Lerios in Coahuila, and is now, June and July (1883) 

 flowering and fruiting in the Botanic Garden of Harvard University. It 

 might be supposed to be (7. jDaZ/noia of Buckley, in Proc. Acad. Philad. 

 1861, 449, the description of which omits all mention of an'involucre, 

 but that is said to be a prostrate plant, and the imperfect original 

 specimen in our herbarium seems to belong to a depauperate C. 

 involucrata. 



Leguminosce. 



COLOGANIA Lemmoni. C. kumifusce. similis ; pube magis villosa ; 

 foliolis obovatis 2-3-plo majoribus ; floribus ut videtur omnibus brevi- 

 pedunculatis vel sessilibus ; legumine lineari-oblongo utrinque obtusis- 

 simo polyspermo, stipiti nullo vel obscuro. — Arizona, on the high 

 mesas of the Chiricahui Mountains, 1881, and the Huachuca, 1882, 

 Lemmon. The specimens of both seasons are in fruit only, or with 

 remains of cleistogamous flowers. 



CuACCA SERiCKA.= C. J^dwardsii, var. sericea, Gray, Proc. Am. 

 Acad xvii. 201, now repeatedly collected, in flower and fruit, appears 

 to hold its characters, so that we have to admit it as a species. 



Astragalus Reverciioni, Gray in coll. N. American Plants, 

 distributed by A. H. Curtiss, no. 601 A, supplied by J. Reverchon, 

 from the central parts of Texas. It was earlier collected by Wright, 

 and by Buckley, but in insufficient specimens. Since its distribution by 

 Curtiss under this name, it has been identified as the Pliaca cretacea 

 of Buckley, Proc. Acad. Philad. 1861, 452, which was first referred 

 to A. lotijlorus and afterwards less incorrectly to A. Missouriensis, 

 and it lies in a certain sense l^etween the two. Tiiere is an Asiatic 

 Astragalus crelaceus, so that this species may well bear the name of
