of corolla oblong obtuse, capsule almost like Ve- 

 ronica, but semi adherent, 2locular, polysperme, 

 seeds reniform. Probably a subgenus, ETORO- 

 TIS Raf. meaning eared heart. 



999. HOUSTONIA GENICULATA Raf. stem geni- 

 culate 4gone assurgent, leaves subfasciculate 

 lanceolate acute, margin rough ; flowers axilary 

 solitary, corolla tube filiform, limb campanulate 

 4fid on the Wasioto hills of Kentucky, annual 

 semipedal, leaves uncial pale beneath, flowers 

 purple, calix linear, tube of corolla double of ca- 

 lix. Another subgenus by peculiar corolla, I 

 will call it GONIOTIS, I have not seen the cap- 

 sule. 



1000. HOUSTONIA RETICULATA Raf. stem gen- 

 iculate 4gone erect, radical leaves petiolate 

 obovate, on stem larger ovate acute trinerve, 

 veins reticulate, margin rough, flowers terminal 

 few corymbose, peduncles l-3flore, capsule glo- 

 bose Alabama, annual 3 to 4 inches high, akin 

 to H. purpurea, but radical leaves different and 

 smaller, on stem often uncial, calix adherent 

 with two thirds of ovary, segments linear. A 

 var. triflora has only 3 flowers, some leaves 

 oblong mixt, either obtuse or acute. 



For other sp. of Houstonias see my mono- 

 graph of 1820, it must form several subg. or 

 even Genera. I have all our sp. H. serpylifo- 

 Zuz, patens, rupestris, tenuifolia, longifolia, 

 august if. heterophyla, pubescens, purpurea, 

 varians $c and I may give another monograph 

 of all the Samolides,of Samolus itself I gave one 

 in my herbarium Rafinesquianum. 



I must now conclude this Flora, although I 

 have left many families untouched in which I 

 possess many novelties ; particularly in Gratio- 

 lides, Acanthides, Personates, Scrophularia,
