250 PITTONIA. 
only angular-lobed, the lobes scarcely acute: corolla very 
short, open-eampanulate, the very broad lobes shallow and 
obtuse: stamens long-exserted and conspicuous: berries 
large, globose, apparently dark blue, very glaucous. 
A Floridan species, collected by Mr. Nash in 1894, and 
distributed as V. stamineum. 
VACCINIUM REVOLUTUM. Shrub low and depressed, the 
short very leafy branches spreading horizontally: leaves 
very glaucous as in the last, but more pubescent, more oval 
and obtuse, their margins revolute: flowers solitary and 
axillary as in the last: lobes of calyx deeper, acute or acumi- 
nate: corolla also with deep but rounded lobes: stamens 
very short for the V. stamineum group, only by about half 
their length longer than the corolla: fruit unknown. 
Of the same region with the preceding, and by the same 
collector; the two said to be of different habitat as to soil, 
humidity, ete. 
VACCINIUM OBLONGUM. A compact and symmetrical de- 
ciduous shrub branched from the base and 3 to 5 feet high, 
the branchlets and foliage hirtellous-pubescent : leaves thin, 
narrowly oblong, obtuse: flowers copious and showy, soli- 
tary in all the axils, on pedicels rather exceeding the leaves, 
these not full-grown at flowering time: lobes of the cam- 
panulate calyx deep, triangular, rather obtuse and their tips 
pubescent: open-campanulate corolla white, cleft to the 
middle into very obtuse lobes: stamens about twice the 
length of the corolla. 
Common on open hills along the lower Cumberland River 
in western Tennessee, near Dover, etc., the type specimen, 
and the only one seen, collected by author in May, 1863. 
The three species here defined are all related to V. sta- 
mineum, and, though very different one from another, are all 
alike in respect to the manner of flowering from the axils of 
allthe leaves. In true V. stamineum and its more immediate
