APPENDIX. 385 



I have little doubt it will prove a new species, intermediate 

 between G. pneurnonanthe and G. ochroleuca. I describe 

 it thus : 



Stein erect, simple, terete, very smooth and firm, of a 

 red colour; about one foot in height. Leaves about one 

 inch in length, alternately opposite at intervals, oblong- 

 lanceolate, of thick consistency, smooth, entire in margin 

 and slightly undulate, obtuse, sessile and sub-amplexicaule 

 or connate at base, with three nerves, the two lateral ones 

 inconspicuous. The upper leaves forming a pseudo-involu- 

 crum of ovate leaves, not exceeding the corollas in length. 

 Involucrum and leaves sub-erect. Corollas campanulate, 

 erect, sessile, terminal, fasciculate or single, sub-quinque- 

 fid. Segments sub-connivent, the interior plait with a sin- 

 gle tooth. Calyx very small in proportion to the flower, 

 5-fid. 



Appears to have been bluish. 



G. caule tereti glabro rubro : foliis oblongo-lanceolatis, 

 trinerviis, obtusis. Corollis terminalibus fasciculatis ses- 

 silibus, 5-fidis campanulatis non ventricosis, laciniis acutis 

 conniventibus; plicis interioribus unidentatis. 



Hab. Prairies of St. Peter's river.
