FLORA OF THE CAPE RECxION. II5 



32. Drymaria CRAssiFOLiAf Benth. — San Jose del 

 Cabo, La Paz. 



33. Drymaria Fendleri Watson. — Sierra de la 

 Laguna. 



34. Drymaria carinata Brandegee, Zoe ii, 70. — 

 Sierra de la Laguna. 



35. Drymaria polystachya Brandegee, Zoe ii, 70. 

 San Jose del Cabo. 



36. Paronychia monandra. Perennial, prostrate; 

 branches 3-5 mm. long, with short lateral crowded branch- 

 lets: leaves opposite linear, pubescent, narrowed at base 

 and setosely acuminate; stipules ovate-acuminate, ciliate, 

 nearly as long as the leaves: perianth pedicellate, pubes- 

 cent, segments oblong linear, somewhat cucullate, with 

 a minute dorsal spine: stamen solitary; filament very 

 short, subulate; staminodia none: stigma very short, 

 minutely 2-lobed ; seed globose, large ; testa smooth; fu- 

 nicle long; radicle lateral. 



This plant bears a very considerable resemblance to 

 the familiar PentaccBna ramostssima. In the number of 

 stamens it does not agree generically with Paronychia 

 and the position of the radicle is unusual, but it seems 

 better to place it here than on such slight grounds make 

 a new genus. 



37. PoRTULACA oleracea L. — growing in the gar- 

 dens about San Jose del Cabo and in the gulches during 

 the rainy season. 



38. Portulaca lanceolata Engelm. — Not uncom- 

 mon on the mesas and hills about San Jose del Cabo 

 during the rainy season. It is usually erect and the color 

 and size of the flowers are variable. The petals are 



tZoe ii, 68-70. Dr. Sereuo Watsou has since written me that a part of 

 the type in the Harvard Herbarium is as pubescent as the preceding species.
