32. OAKESIA. 
1. O. sEesstziFoL1a. Stem a foot high or less, naked or with a 
single leaf below the fork, glabrous: leaves oblong-lanceolate, acute 
at each end, minutely scabrous on the margin, pale, glaucous beneath: 
flowers 7 to 12 lines long, smooth within: anthers obtuse, shorter 
than the style: capsule stipitate, 10 lines long. — Uvularia sessilifolia, 
Linn. ; Smith, Exot. Bot. 1.101, t. 52; Sims, Bot. Mag. t. 1402; Lodd. 
Bot. Cab. t. 1262. U. Floridana, Chapm. Flora, 487. Canada 
(New Brunswick, Quebec) to Florida and Arkansas. 
2. O. PUBERULA. Branches usually somewhat scabrous: leaves 
firmer and darker green, ovate to lanceolate, mostly rounded at base, 
very rough on the margin: capsule sessile or nearly so, 10 to 12 lines 
long, brown-dotted. — Uvularia puberula, Michx.; Lodd. Bot. Cab. 
t. 1260; Sweet, Fl. Gard. 2 ser. t. 21. Virginia to South Carolina. 
33. STREPTOPUS, Michx. 
1. S. aMpLExIFoLius, DC. Glabrous throughout, glaucous, 2 or 3 
feet high: leaves cordate at base, the margin rarely slightly scabrous : 
flowers greenish-white, 4 to 6 lines long: anthers cuspidate with a 
single slender awn: stigma scarcely lobed: berry thin-coated ; cells 
10-14-seeded. — Uvularia amplexifolia, Linn.; Hornem. Fl. Dan. 
t. 1515. JS. distortus, Michx. SS. amplexicaulis, Poir.; Baker, Journ. 
Linn. Soc. 14.591. Alaska to N. California and across the continent, 
ranging south to New Mexico and Pennsylvania; also in temperate 
Europe and Asia. 
2. S. RosEus, Michx. Lower and somewhat pubescent: leaves less 
cordate or only clasping, scabrous-ciliate: pedicels often all sessile 
(i. e. not geniculate upon a peduncle): flowers rose-purple, 3 or 4 
lines long: anthers bicuspidate: stigma 3-cleft: berry with a rather 
thicker coat, the cells 6-8-seeded. — FI]. 1. 201, t. 18; Lodd. Bot. Cab. 
t. 1603; Baker, 1. c. 592. Uvularia rosea, Pers.; Ker, Bot. Mag. 
t. 1489. Hekorima rosea, Raf. Alaska to Oregon and Canada (Lab- 
rador) and south to Georgia. Eschscholtz’s specimens collected at 
Sitka and referred to Kruhsea Tilingii, Regel (Smilacina streptopoides, 
Ledeb.), belong to this species. On the other hand, the S. roseus of 
Wright’s collection in Ochotsk Sea is the same as Tiling’s plant (from 
the same locality) upon which Aruhsea was founded, but is properly 
a Streptopus (i. e. S. Ajanensis, Tiling). 
3. S. BREVIPES, Baker, 1. c. Glabrous throughout, very low and 
with very slender creeping rootstock: leaves not at all cordate nor
