2. New oh Note\y6kthy Species, 



EuPHOBEiA ( ^ Anisophyllum ). 



E. PiLULiFEEA, rai\ PROCU31BENS3 Boiss. (U. C. Prod. Pars. 

 XV. 2. p. 21). Collected by Dr. J. Eiddell, at Key AVest, Fla., 

 1839 ; communicated to me for identification by Dr. Charles 

 Mohr, from liis herbarium. This extends to the Uniteil 



States the North American range of this plant> 



E. Fendleri, vai\ ch^tocalyx, Boiss. (D. C. Prod. Pars. 

 XV. 2. p. 39). Specimens collected by Prof. Greene at Peacli 

 Springs, Arizona, during his journey of 1889, agree exactly 

 with Torrey & Gray's E. Fendleri as represented in Dr- 

 Torrey's herbarium by Thurber's No. 408 ; but differs greatly 

 from his No. 407 which is on the same sheet. The specimens 

 farther agree with Boissier's description of var. chcefocalya- 

 which is drawn from AYright's No. 1847 collected in New 

 Mexico. We must therefore judge that Thurber's 408 is not 

 a type of the accepted species. Marcus E. Jones' No. 4217. 

 collected at El Paso, Texas, in 1884, and distributed as the 

 species, is a fine example of this variety.
