﻿tJUiNTKIlSUTlONS TO WESTERN BOTANV. 707 



corolla; scapes rather stout for the plant: capitate heads 

 of flowers subtended by obtuse, narrowly-oblong bracts, 

 2-3" long; flowers sessile or nearly so, 8 or more, in a 

 dense head; calyx narrowly-oblong, the lobes rounded 

 and obtuse; corolla purple, the tube barely surpassing 

 the calyx; lobes about i" long, throat yellow. This spe- 

 cies seems to be nearest to P. farinom, and may be only 

 a form of it, but it seems distinct.

 slender and entangled, 2-6' long; leaves linear-lanceolate 

 and acuminate, 2' long, little reduced above; plants flor- 

 iferous from base to apex; peduncles slender, 1%' or 

 less long, tortuous, often deflexed in fruit; flowers sev- 

 eral to each node, white, 3-4" long, oblong-campanulate ; 

 lobes elliptical, acutish, nearly as long as the tube; fringe 

 reduced to scattered setae on the base of the lobes: an- 

 thers nearly round, extrorse ; capsules short-stipitate, as 

 long as the calyx, oblong; seeds oval, |" long, smooth 

 and coat very close, yellowish; calyx tube almost none,
