CiiAM^SARACiiA piiYSALOiDES, Grceiie, in Ton-. Bull. ix. 122, is PJujsalis lobata, Torr. 



Bellinia umbellata, Roem. & Schult. (Saracha umhellatn, Don ; Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 

 xix. 91), a common Mexican species, was collected by Leminon in S. Arizona, on the Mexican 

 frontier, perliaps only adventive. The genus is known from tlie present and from P/ii/mlis by 

 the enlargement and rotate expansion of the fructiferous calyx under the bcn-y into a membratia- 

 ceous 5-angled plate. 



8. MARG-ARANTHUS, Sclilecht. P. 237, add a second species, — 



M. Lemmoni, Gray. Very much branched and decumbent, more leafy : leaves all quite 

 entire : calyx more deeply 5-ilentate ; the teeth at length half the length of the tube : corolla 

 white, campanulate urceolate above the very short tube ; orifice obtusely 5-lobed. (It njight 

 be Phf/sulis minutijiord, Mor. & Sesse, but leaves not at all repand, as they are in M. solana- 

 ceus. — Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 91. — Cave Canon, S. W. Arizona, Lemmon. 



10. LYCIUM, L. 



L. Richii, Gkay, Proc. Am. Acad. v. 4G. Name to take tlie place of the later L. Palmeri, 

 Gray, p. 2.38 (Proc. Am. Acad. viii. 292) ; abundant at All Saints' Bay, Lower California. 

 L. qiuidrijidiim, Dunal, founded on a rude figure, niiglit be the same, except for larger size 

 and much shorter tube of corolla, so that it is with more probability referred to L. CaroUnia- 

 ninn by Miers. 



L. macrodon, Gkay, p. 238. Rediscovered by Pringle, beyond the border of S. W. 

 Arizona, on tlie Altar River; has remarkalily long and uarrow calyx-lobes, white corolla 

 tinged witli green, and a very large hypogynous disk of a deep orange color. 



L. Californicum, Nutt., p. 2.38. Distinguished by its fleshy leaves, and limb of the small 

 tetramerous corolla nearly as long as the tube. — Common on the coast of S. California from 

 Santa Monica to San Diego. 



Var. Arizonicum. Leaves bright green, extremely fleshy, the small ones of the 

 fascicles on the branchlets pyriform or globular! — Desert of Arizona, Parry (imperfect 

 specimen was referred to L. parviflorum), at Lowell, Parish, and Maricopa, A. Gi-ai/. 



Li. parviflorum, Gray, p. 239. S. Arizona, Thurher, Pringle. May pass into L. harhino- 

 clniii (which is not within our limits), but does not show the tomentulose nodes of the 

 fascicles. 



L. Preraonti, Gray, p. 239, is not uncommon in Arizona (coll. Parn/, Vaseij, &c.), and it 

 passes into the equally abundant 



Var. gracilipes, L. gracilipes, Gray, p. 239, with pedicels from a third to half an incl» 

 long, often quite as long as the flower. — S. Arizona, Parish, Pringle, &c. 

 Other puberulent species, the first two more or less extra-limital, are : — 



L. exsertum, Gray. Very much like the last preceding: leaves spatulate (not over half- 

 inch long) : pedicels hardly half-inch long, about the length of the corolla : lobes of the 

 calyx acute, shorter than the tube : corolla-lobes very short, triangular-ovate, reflexod : 

 stamens much ex.serted. — Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 305. — Near Altar, in N. W. Sonora, 

 Pringle. 



L. Pringlei, Gray, I.e. Cinereon.s-puberulent : branches .slender: leaves spatulate and ob- 

 lanceolate (about quarter inch long): pedicels 2 or 3 lines long: calvx with oblong and 

 obtu.-ie foliaceous lolies equalling or longer than the tube and almost etiualling the tube of the 

 corolla, which is barely 3 lines long, and longer than its own 5 roundish lobes : stamens 

 shorter than the corolla lobes ; filaments densely bearded at base. — In stream-beds, N. W. 

 Sonora, near the boundary, Pringle. 



L. Parishii, Gray, 1. c. Resembling the preceding, equally small-leaved and puberulent : 

 pedicels 2 or 3 lines long : corolla narrowly funnelform (.5 lines long), thrice the length of 

 the obtusely and rather short-lobed calyx, with short 5-lol)ed limb ; the lobes a line long, 

 ovate, olituse, at length equalled by the stamens. — Mesas in the San Bernardino Vallev, 

 S. California, Parish.
