 ered, the rachis becoming 12-20 mm, long : pedicels becoming 9- 

 12 mm. long : sepals 4.5-5.5 mm, long, nearly linear to some- 

 what spatulate : petals white or nearly so, 6-8 mm. long, the 

 claws prominently sharp-toothed, the blades orbicular to reni- 

 form, undulate : stamens 7-8 mm, long, the anthers about ^ as 

 long as the filaments : ovary-body about as long as the stipe :

This, apparently the most common species of IVarea, occurs 

 in great abundance, especially in southern peninsular Florida. 

 Specimens belonging here have hitherto been confused with 

 Warea alneifoUa (Muhl.) Nutt. Ware a Carteri differs from W. 

 cuneifolia in its narrower sepals, white corolla, suborbicular or reni- 

 form petal-blades, longer-stipitate ovary, shorter pedicels, longer 

 pod-body and shorter mature stipe. The type specimens were 

 collected in pinelands between Cutler and Black Point, Florida, 

 November, 1 903 {Small & Carter 83 /). Other specimens belong- 

 ing here are as follows :
