If all that passes under this name is one species, it cer- 
tainly has a most remarkable geographic range, being found 
in the tropical and subtropieal parts of all the continents 
and of every archipelago that lies within those lines. It is 
curious that Linneeus names only “ Virginia" as the habitat 
of the species, while it had been known as thoroughly in- 
digenous to the Mediterranean regions of the Old World for 
at least a hundred years before his day. w 
P. LANCEOLATA. Lippia? lanceolata, Michx. Fl. ii. 15 (1803). 
Zapania lanceolata, Juss. Ann. Mus. Par. vii. 72 (1806). In- 
digenous to the Middle and Southern United States, prob- 
ably also extending to Mexico, and even to Central America 
if the Lippia Queretanensis of Kunth be, as some suppose, the 
same species. 
P.cuwErFOLIA. Zapania cuneifolia, Torr. Ann. N. Y. Lyc. 
ii. 234 (1826). Lippia cuneifolia, Steud. Nom. ii. 54 (1841), 
Torr. Marcy’s Report 261, t. 17. A very strongly marked 
halophilous species, common on moist subsaline or alkaline 
plains of the Rocky Mountain region, ranging westward to 
California, southward to Arizona and perhaps Mexico, and 
with a near relative or two in South America. 
P.nEPTANs. Lippia reptans, HBK. Nov. Gen. et Sp. ii. 
263(1817). Common in tropical America ; allied to the pre- 
ceding, but its obovate-euneate leaves are strongly pinnate- 
nerved and distinctly plicate, thus differing greatly in appear- 
ance from those of any United States Phyla.
