in the axil of a setaceous bract; the others on partially enclosed pe-. 

 duncles. Fruit, ovate, inflated, gradually tapering into a beak, beautiv 

 fully striate. Nai triquetrous, with very concave sides. 



Obs. This species has the habit and general aspect of C. 

 foUlculatn , Linn., from which it seems well distinguished by 

 the inflatad fruit with regular and prominent striae ; the nar-= 

 rower more rigid and scabrous leaves, &c. We suspect that 

 i| will prove to be the Cfalliculata of Elliott.
