tribution, and these specimens were probably all collected at the 

 same place. Those collected in May, 1893, show the growth of 

 a different season, with more simple stem and larger leaves. The 

 leaves on the more numerous branches of the September growth 

 are smaller than those of the main stem, and since only few of the 

 stem-leaves are retained in this stage, the general appearance of 

 the plants in the two stages is quite different.

E. Palmer no. 55, July, 1880, collected at Coahuila, Mexico, is 

 here considered as belonging to this species. Specimens are in 

 the Gray Herbarium, U. S. National Herbarium, and the Colum- 

 bia Herbarium. This determination is based on comparison of the 

 specimens with the published description and plate in H. B. K. 

 Nov. Gen. & Sp. and not on comparison with authentic specimens, 

 and I am not entirely satisfied that our plants are the same as those 

 described as /. verbenaceum.
