1847, Dr. J. Gregg, $45 (Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb.).

The species here proposed is nearly related to S. Pilosella Torr. 
from which it is distinguished by the pubescence of the stem, 
namely reflexed hairs disposed in decussating lines, somewhat 
narrower leaves, and uniformly shorter fruit. 
Siphonoglossa Pilosella Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. 124. 1859. 
This species is well represented in the herbarium of the Mis- 
souri Botanical Garden by a suite of more than thirty specimens. 
To it should be referred one of Lindheimer’s Texas plants, 
namely number 1065, collected in 1851, which by clerical error 
was distributed as “Ruellia Parryi Gray."

Specimen examined: 
Mexico: State of Yucatan, at Izamal, coll. of 1895, Dr. Geo. F. 
Gaumer, 589 (Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb.), түре. 
The divarieately spreading axillary spines, relatively small 
obovate leaves, and the minute flowers amply distinguish this 
species from all others of the genus. It is with pleasure that 
the authors dedicate this new species to Dr. Gaumer, who has 
done so much to further our knowledge of the flora of Yucatan. 
Randia Purpusii Greenman & Thompson, sp. nov. 
Verisimiliter frutex; ramis ramulisque cortice brunneo vel 
griseo tectis; spinis ad apices ramorum plerumque quaternis 
vel binis, vel rarius nullis, 3-6 mm. longis; foliis lanceolatis vel 
obovato-lanceolatis 1.5-5.5 em. longis 0.8-2 cm. latis obtusis
