 the globular capsule.

 lower cordate-hastate ; the lateral lobes often with a posterior tooth : corolla purple or 

 sometimes white (half to an inch long), with a nearly closing palate: sepals lanceolate, 

 very acute : style slender : seeds strongly costate, the ribs corky. — Usteria antirrhinijlora, 

 Poir. Maurandia antirrhinijlora, Willd. Hort. Berol. t. 80; Bot. Mag. 1. 1643; Benth. I.e.

 what prominent, but not closing the throat : most of the leaves ojiposite or in 

 threes. — Gambelia, Nutt. PI. Gamb. 149. 



A. speciosum, Gray, 1- c. Shrub, 3 or 4 feet high, somewhat pubescent, leafy through-

 hardly an mch long, thrice the length the lanceolate sepals, and the tube thrice the length 

 of the narrow lips. — Gambelia speciosa, Nutt. 1. c. t. 22. — California, on the Island of 

 Catalina, Gambell. (Guadalupe Island, Lower Calif., Palmer.)

5. MAURANDIA, Ortega. (Dr. Maurandy, a botanical teacher at Car-

 triangular or hastate, only the lower opposite ; and showy purple or rose-colored 

 or rarely white flowers. — Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. vii. 377. Maurandia (excl. 

 § 1) and Lophospermum (Don), Benth. in DC. Prodr. I.e. This comprises the 

 two true Maurandias with wingless tuberculate seeds, Lophospermum, of one or 

 perhaps two species, with seeds bordered by an irregular and lacerate wing ; and 

 the section Epixiphium, Engelm., with a narrow entire wing to the seeds, and 

 capsule pointed by the subulate indurated style, containing the following 

 species. 



M. Wislizeni, Engelm. Glabrous, mostly low-climbing : leaves hastate, or some of 

 them sagittate; the lowest obtuse, the others acuminate and with pointed basal lobes: 

 peduncles short: corolla (pale blue, an inch long) with lips about half the length of the 

 rather ample tube : sepals in flower linear-lanceolate, becoming in fruit triangular-lanceo- 

 late and gradually acuminate, much enlarged, rather rigid, very veiny-reticulated, and 

 strongly saccate-carinate at base, enclosing the coriaceous globose-ovate capsule, and 

 about the length of the sword-shaped indurated style: seeds compressed, oval, surrounded 

 by a narrow entire wing, the sides chaffy-rugose. — Gray in Bot. Mex. Bound. 111. — New
