Very similar to the preceding species, more or less glaucous: 

 stems simple or paniculately branched above, 2-6 dm. tall: 

 leaves ovate or ovate-lanceolate, rather thick, obtuse or acute, 

 sessile or very slightly auriculate at the base, 1-3.5 cm. long: 

 flowers purple, sometimes apparently pale; petals about 10 mm. 

 long claw slightly papillose: mature inflorescence 1-3 cm. long; 

 pedicels divaricate, about 1 cm. long, deciduous: pods, including 

 stipe, 2-4 cm. long; stipe 11-14 mm. long. 



Distribution: western Florida, Type from "pine lands at 

 Bellair, about 4 miles south of Tallahassee, Leon County." 



Specimens examined: 



Florida: Bellair, Leon County, Sept. 3, 1895, Nash 25 U (U. b. 

 Nat Herb type, and Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb.) ; sandy pine bar- 

 rens, Bristol, Oct. 25, 1895, Mohr (U. S. Nat. Herb.) ; Santa 

 Rosa Island, Sept., 187(1, Romer (U. S. Nat. Herb.) ; Santa Rosa 

 Island, Aug. 31, 1899, S. M. Tracy 6J&8 (Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb, 

 and U. S. Nat. Herb.). 



This species, although quite distinct, has been confused with 

 W. amplexifolia in the past. The illustration given by Nuttall 

 (Jour. Acad. Phila.) to illustrate that species is evidently of W. 

 sessilifolia. In this publication also the habitat is given as "West 

 Florida." It would seem that Ware collected both species but 

 thP onfi originally described as W. amplexifolia was from east 



and in it the leaves were truly am 



That 



then must retain the name because of priority of publication. 

 However, the plant that Nuttall really had in mind when he 

 described the genus Warea was that described by Nash as W . 

 sessilifolia.
