The first specimen observed was growing in sand on the beach, near 

 the water's edge, at the Oso. Later in the day a few more plants were 

 picked up in similar situations at Flower Bluff.

 At San Antonio, along the river banks. This plant, at least at San 

 Antonio, is not a shrub, as called for in the Manual of Western Texas. 

 It is herbaceous, stout, about five feet high.

 In rich, black land on the edge of a water hole near the Arroyo, Cor- 

 pus Christi, altitude 40 feet. Very few plants were seen, and only one 

 in flower, but the others in good fruit. Flower almost two inches in 

 diameter, greenish-yellow. Apparently a very rare plant.

VIOLACEAE. 



CALCEOLARIA Loefl. Iter, 183-185 (1758). 



[IONIDIUM Vent. Jard. Malm. /. 27 (1803).] 

 Calceolaria verticillata (Ort.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. PL 41 (1891). 



* Type locality; "Victoria, on the lower Guadalupe." I do not know that this species 

 has been collected since it was first described in 1850, until obtained by Mr. Heller. 

 The type was collected by Lindheimer in 1845, but ^ had been previously obtained 

 by Berlandier as early as 1834. The species had not been previously represented in 

 the National Herbarium, and is probably the same with many of the herbariums. 

 The type, which I have seen, is deposited in the Gray Herbarium along with 2 sheets 

 from the Berlandier Herbarium. Dr. J. Gregg's No. 523 collected in 1848-9 seems 

 to be a different species. Mr. Heller's plants were collected near Corpus Christi in 

 April, 1894, and are in fine condition. J. N. ROSE.
