linear, curved, 3-5 cm. long (including stipe) ; stipe slender, 3-6 

 mm. long; style very short, stigma subentire. 



Distribution : southern and eastern Florida. Type from "pine- 

 lands between Cutler and Black Point," collected by Small & 

 Carter 831 . 



Specimens examined: 



Florida: Miami, Nov., 1878, Garber 26 (U. S. Nat. Herb, and 

 Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb.) ; sand ridges between the ocean and In- 

 dian River, Sept., 1879, Curtiss 171 (U. S. Nat. Herb.). 



This species, according to Dr. Small, "occurs in great abun- 

 dance, especially in southern peninsular Florida." It is closely 

 related to W. cuneifolia and has been almost universally referred 

 to that species in the past.
