176 Mr. Buckley on some New Species of Planis. 
strongly ribbed and slightly stipitate, about the length of the 
slender style; filaments filiform, anthers linear, elongated, acute.— 
Plant 6-8 inches high, sending out numerous branches near 
the root. Petioles 1-2 inches long; those of the leaflets 3 lines 
to an inch in length. Differs from T. dioicum in being procum- 
bent, much smaller, and in having petioles to the leaflets, and 
fewer flowers. 
Hab. Rich woodlands near Allenton, Wilcox Co., Alabama, 
March and April. The stem and leaves decay and disappear 
about the first of May. | 
Ints Durrincxu (n. sp.): bearded, leaves subfalcate, ensiform ; 
scape 1-4 flowered ; petals obovate-spathulate, deflexed ; filaments 
inserted into the tube of the corolla; anthers linear oblong.— 
Stem 6-12 inches high, generally longer than the leaves. Fila- 
ments exsert from the tube nearly one third the length of the co- 
rolla; tube of the perigonium elongated, slender, exsert. A variety 
is stemless, one-flowered, with the leaves much longer than the 
flower. Described from specimens received from Prof. Duerinck, 
who collected them near St. Louis, Missouri. It is probable that 
‘ this species is the Iris Missouriensis, of Martins, which name be- 
longs to a species previously described by Nuttall. See Martins’ 
Delectus seminum Horti Botanici Louvaniensis, 1840. 
JusTICIA LETEVIRENS (7. sp.): leaves lanceolate, ovate, acumi- 
nate ; flowers axillary and terminal, white, in cylindrical com- 
pact spikes.—Stem erect, simple or branched, nearly 12 inches 
high, slightly glaucous. Leaves large, 2-3 inches long, 1-2 inch- 
es wide, glabrous on the lower surface, slightly hairy above, grad- 
ually tapering into short petioles. Flowers numerous in a com- 
pact bracted spike ; bracts ovate ciliate ; tube of the perigonium 
exsert, caducous ; corolla 3-4 toothed ; filaments 2, slender, inserted 
and included within the tube of the corolla; capsule at the base 
surrounded with numerous filiform bracts (calyx ?) poi 
Hab. Near rivers in shady woods, Wilcox Co., Alabama; flow- 
ers during the summer. | : eae 
_ Maxva LeConru (n. sp.): leaves subsagittate, entire, obtuse, 
dentate ; teeth large, obtuse; lower surface of the leaves very 
pubescent ; midrib and veins prominent ; upper surface scabrous ;

carpels wrinkled.—Stem shrubby, 4-5 feet high, pubescent, much
