Jennings: A Nkw Species of Kneiffia. 481 



pubescence, and the widely diverging, tomentose- pubescent calyx tips. 

 In the dried specimens at least, there is no discernible inequality in 

 the length of the stamens, the species thus apparently overstepping 

 what is usually regarded as a generic character. Prof. D. R. Sumstine, 

 by whom the specimens were collected, reported the species as grow- 

 ing very abundantly in a field on a hill-top near Kittanning and in 

 September last the writer, hoping to secure mature capsules, made a 

 diligent but unsuccessful search in the locality indicated, but it was 

 found that the field had been mowed and all weeds destroyed. It is 

 hoped that in another year mature fruit may be collected and studied. 

 In I'late XIX. are shown a figure of the plant one half natural size, 

 and figures of the unopened bud and of the flower with the petals re- 

 moved, each natural size.
