7 NEWBERRYA Torr. Ann. Lyc. N. Y. viii, 55. 
Low fleshy erect plants with red or brownish flowers in a ter- 
minal cluster.. Calyx incomplete, of two bract-like entire sepals. 
Corolla tubular-urceolate, 4- or 5-lobed, persistent. Stamens twice 
as many as lobes of the corolla; filaments filiform, long-hairy 
above the middle; anthers oblong, the cells opening from apex to 
base into two unequal valves. Ovary ovate, contracted at the 
apex into a long style: stigma depressed-capitate, umbilicate. 
Placentze 4, with broad divergent lamellae which meet adjacent 
edges, ovuliferous both sides, giving the appearance of 4 exterior | 
cells surrounding a central larger one. 
N. congesta Torr. l. c. Whole plant brownish. glabrous, 4-8 inches 
high : scales crowded or loosely imbricated, obtuse, thinnish, with obscurely 
erose margins; the upper forming similar bracts of the densely crowded 
glomerule of flowers: lobes of the corolla ovate, one third the length of the 
cylindraceous or slightly urceolate tube: filaments equalling the slender 
style: anthers narrowly oblong, the line of dehiscence close to the connec- 
tive. In the high mountains of Washington to California. 
OrpER LVII ARMERIACEA 
Somewhat woody plants with alternate leaves and regular 
symmetrical 5-merous perlect flowers: chiefly of saline soils. 
Calyx costate at the sinuses, persistent. Corolla with claws to 
the nearly distinct petals, or these united into a tube, conyolute 
or rarely imbricated inthe bud. Stamens as many as divisions 
of the corolla and opposite to them: the filaments adnate only 
to their base, or completely hypogynous: anthers 2-celled, 
opening longitudinally. Disk none. Ovary free, one-celled, 
with a solitary anatropous ovule pendulous on a slender funic- 
ulus which rises from the base of the cell. Styles 5, distinct 
or united. Fruit dry, utricular or achene-like, somewhat dehis- 
cent by a lid, or by valves. Seed with a straight embryo, and 
with or without mealy albumen. 
1 ARMERIA Willd. Enum. Hort. Berol 333. 
Acaulescent perennials with narrow persistent leaves in close 
tufts and naked scapes with a reversed sheath under the compact 
head of red flowers which are surrounded and subtended by 
scarious bracts and bractlets. Calyx funnelform, regularly 10- 
costate at base, the limb scarious, Corolla of 5 nearly distinct 
long-clawed petals, each with a stamen attached to its base. Styles 
5, filiform, united only at the very base, stigmatose above along 
the inner side. Utricleat length bursting irregularly at the base. 
A. vulgaris Willd 1. c. Scapes 8-12 inches high: leaves narrowly 
linear, flat or flattish, 1-3 inches long: bracts very obtuse: calyx at base 
simply decurrent on the pedicel; the tube 10-nerved, hairy at least on the
