 leaves subsessile uncial oblong cuneate ?rinerve 

 large obtuse teeth, margin and nerves ciliate ; 

 scapes hardly longer pubescent angular, spikes 

 oblong densiflore pubescent, bracts equal ovate

1 have described above 6 of rny most distinct 

 sp. of this Genus, 2 others PL gonophyla and 

 atrofusca of Illinois are in Atlantic Journal 

 page 150 j but I have in my Herbarium a crowd 

 of other N. Sp. and varieties, some of which are 

 blended with PL cordata, media, lanceolata, 

 major #c of our botanists ; when I shall pre- 

 pare a Monograph of this G..they shall be dis- 

 tinguished. I have called them PL elliptica, 

 compressa, crassifolia, undulata, repanda, 

 rolundifolia, riparia, longipes, pycnanthes, 

 paitcitiora, pilosa, brevifolia, breviscapis, 

 wiorkiza, serpentaria, peregrina, baldidni. 



748. LITTORELLA FLExuosA Raf. This G. 

 was not deemed American, and this sp. will 

 form perhaps a N. G. when examined alive ; it 

 is at least a subgenus, which I call XAMOTRIS 

 (dwarf raceme) and it differs by calix unequal, 

 imbricate segments of tuner perig. or corolla 

 also unequal. Habit scapes racemose with- 

 out bracts. Scapose, leaves cespitose linear 



obtuse falcate smooth, base wooly, entire or 

 with a few scattered gashes, uninerve ; scapes 

 shorter flexuose racemose pauciflore Sent me 

 from Alabama and found in Arkanzas by Nut- 

 tal. deemed by him a nameless Plantago in Coll.
