longioribus : ovarii loculis 5-6-ovulatis ; capsula calyce jiaullo brevi- 

 ore. — Hillsides west of the city of Chihuahua, Oct., Pringle, 559. 

 Also "W. Chihuahua about 150 miles north of Batopilas, Palmer, 431. 



Convolvulacece. 

 Jacquemontia Pringlei, Gray, Syn. Fl. ii. 434, var. gla- 

 BRESCENS. — Trailing or climbing over bushes, vrhite-flowered, near 

 Batopilas, Palmer, 107, 248. Appears to be essentially like the 

 greener and glabrescent form of J. Pringlei, as collected by Pringle 

 and also by Lemmon on the Mexican borders of Arizona ; but some- 

 what larger-leaved, and the climbing form with rather many-flowered 

 peduncles. Probably the genus were better merged in Convolvulus. 



Solanacece. 

 Physalis microphtsa. Species singularis corolla per anthesin 

 plano-rotata P. lobatce, tamen calyce fructifero exangulato, pube sim- 

 plici brevi parum viscida pubescens ; caulibus pedalibus e radice 

 perenni gracilibus paniculato-ramosis ; foliis parvis (seuiipollicaribus) 

 crenato-repandis, caulinis subrotundis pi. m. cordatis, ramealibus ovatis 

 longiuscule petiolatis, floralibus diminutis ; pedicellis calyce brevioribus ;

 brevioribus ; seminibus crassiusculis immarginatis favoso-rugulosis. — 

 Limestone cliifs, Santa Eulalia Mountains, near the city of Chihuahua, 

 Pringle, 317. The late Mr. Miers, who did much woik upon Sola- 

 nacece, when describing a new species of the present genus, remarked 

 that " all the species of PJiysalis are too well known and described to 

 require any observation." We heartily wish they were.
