88 MONOGRAPH OF 



tinct from the last. The P, Walteri is very 

 akin, but has acute lobes. 



4. Peltandra heterophyla Raf. Petiols une- 

 qual terete, leaves variable oblong cuspidate, or 

 ovatoblong hardly sagittate or nearly auriculate 

 or base often entire obliqual, lobes unequal 

 rounded short or ovate obtuse — With the last 

 in the same places, even near Philadelphia in 

 the Schuylkill, but rare, seldom seen in flow^ers, 

 berries 1-3 seeded, different leaves out of the 

 same root. 



5. Peltandra hast at a Raf. Arum Virgin- 

 icum Elliot. Petiols vaginated at base, leaves 

 equal in length oblong, hastate cordate acumi- 

 nate, lobes subacute ; spatha oblong acute re- 

 pand, spadix equal, — In Carolina and Florida, 

 it blossoms in April there says Elliot, the ber- 

 ries have several seeds, and thus it is a Leu- 

 cospatha like the next. 



6. Peltandra alba Raf. Calla sagittifolia 

 mx. Caladius glaucum Elliot. Leaves glaucous 

 hastate cordate acuminate, lobes oblong obtuse 

 divaricate, petiols elongate ; scape short, spatha 

 cuculate oval lanceolate, white, end dilatate — 

 In Carolina and probably all over the southern 

 Statesa Elliot says the berries are red and 

 with several seeds. The white flowers and red 

 berries will distinguish this ; they are both green 

 in the others. This will be the type of Leucos- 

 patha and may have some other peculiar char- 

 acters in the flowers to make it a Genus — Thus 



1 have fully ascertained 4 sp. in the North and 



2 in the South ; but there are 2 other doubtful 

 sp. there. 



7. Peltandra Walteri Raf. Arum sagitti- 

 folium Walter, Arum Walteri Elliot. Leaves 

 triangular sagittate, angles divaricate acute*
