﻿•170 Small: Studies in the Botany 



Florida : Apalachicola, old specimen, collector uncertain ; 

 later specimen, A. H. Curtiss, no. 2014. Also two specimens 

 collected by Dr. Chapman. 



The habit of Conradina puberula suggests that of Hypericum 

 zalioidcs. 



KOELLIA BEADLEI. 



Perennial, deep green. Stem erect or ascending, 5-8 dm. tall, 

 simple or sparingly branched, minutely pubescent : leaves opposite, 

 lower glabrate but resinous-dotted, the floral slightly canescent ; 

 blades oblong-lanceolate, or those of the branches elliptic-lanceolate 

 to ovate, all acute or acuminate, 3-8 cm. long, serrate, rounded or 

 subcordateat the base ; petioles 1-3 mm. long : clusters solitary or 

 few, terminal, dense, 1-2 cm. broad : bracts narrowly linear or 

 slightly broadened at the middle : calices puberulent, 4-5 mm. long, 

 tube finely ribbed ; teeth triangular-lanceolate, with subulate tips 

 barely one third as long as the tube : corollas 6-7 mm. long ; tube 

 not surpassing the calyx ; upper lip oblong, obtuse ; lower lip 

 3-lobed, middle lobe oblong, notched, lateral lobes rounded : fila- 

 ments and style glabrous. 



On rocks, mountains near Highlands, North Carolina. Sum- 

 mer and fall. 



The center of distribution of the Koelliae furnishes us with still 

 another species. The plant in question is related to Kocllia pyc- 

 nantkemoides , but the leaves and stem are destitute of the peculiar 

 pubescence characteristic of such plants as Koellia pycnanthemddes, 

 K. albescens and K. incana. The leaves suggest those of certain spe- 

 cies of the genus Monarda. They are conspicuous on account o( 

 a very fine sprinkling of sparkling glands and the prominent whitish 

 nerves beneath. The calyx-segments are subulate from a tri- 

 angular lanceolate base and barely one third as long as the tube. 



The original specimens were collected on mountain rocks. 

 Highlands, Macon County, North Carolina, September 14, l8 97- 

 They were distributed by the Biltmore Herbarium, for whose 

 curator the species is named. It is numbered 5744. 



v Pentstemon calvcosus. 



Perennial, minutely pubescent or glabrate. Stem erect. 4-7 dnl 

 tall, simple below : leaves various ; basal and lower stem-leavt 

 spatulate, upper stem-leaves opposite; blades oblong to lance-
