1. Fragaria cuneifolia Nutt. 
Fragaria Chilensis var. Torr. & Gray, Fl. N. Am. 1: 448. 1840. Not Molina. 
Fragaria cuneifolia Nutt. ibid., as synonym; Howell, Fl. N. W. Am. 1: 174. 
Rootstock short but not very thick. Leaves rather few, firm and somewhat coria- 
ceous, but not as thick as in / Chiloensis and scarcely reticulate, silky above when 
young, glabrate in age, densely silky and slightly tomentulose beneath ; stipules lanceo- 
late, brown, scarious; petioles slender, covered with long silky spreading or reflexed 
hairs; leaflets cuneate to obovate, obtuse or truncate, toothed only at the apex with the 
middle tooth often smaller, 1.5-4 em. long, subsessile or the middle one slightly peti- 
oled ; the lateral ones only slightly oblique. Runners long and slender. Scape slender, 
less than 1 dm. high, with spreading or reflexed long hairs, few-flowered, without folia- 
ceous bracts. Flowers 1.5-2 em. in diameter; bractlets and sepals lanceolate; petals ob- 
ovate-cuneate, a third longer than the sepals. Fruit hemispheric, about 1 em. in di- 
ameter, more villous than in the other species ; achenes superficial, or set in shallow pits. 
F. cuncifolia is nearest related to F. Chiloensis and has generally been included in that 
species, but differs by its smaller flowers, its more hairy fruit, its narrow and scarcely 
oblique leaflets, its slender habit and more scanty and more spreading hairs on the scape
