NEOPHYTON. 69 



qual, stamens 4 unequal, anthers villose. Leaves 

 opposite serrate^ flowers purple — to complete 

 the compared account of all the Gerardias I 

 add this Genus, with some others not seen by 

 me,^and very little known, which must be des- 

 cribed better hereafter. This appears medial 

 between Aureolnria and Dnsistema, but the 

 calix and purple corollas differ from both. 



397. Dasanthera fruticos a R.Gerard ia do 

 Pursh &c shrubby, leaves lanceol. serrate sub- 

 petiolate, flowers racemose bracteate. — Origon 

 Mts. only seen dry by Pursh and Torrey. 



398. Dasanthera? cuneifolia Raf. Ger, do 

 Pursh ^c perennial, branches erect, leaves 

 cuneate unequaly serrate, upper alternate, pe- 

 duncles axillary longer than leaves or bracts — 

 Florida, disc, by Bartram but not his flammea, 

 of doubtful Gjenus not even seen by Elliot. Ca- 

 lix 5parted and purple flowers. 



399. PAGESIA Raf. fl. lud. calix Sparted 

 unequal, upper segment larger, corolla tube 

 ventricose limb rotate bilabiate, upper lip re- 

 flexed flat emarginate, lower trilobe. Stam 4 

 didyn. style and stigma simple, capsule as in 

 Aureolaria. Leaves oppos, sessile^ flowers ra- 

 cemose ichite — This G. of mine 1817 is akin to 

 all the above, but distinct by the calix bilabiate, 

 white corolla 4«c. 



400. Pagesia leucantha Raf fl. lud. 149. 

 Stem weak decumbent 4gone ramose, leaves 

 sessile ovatoblong serrulate smooth, axils biau- 

 riculate, flowers racemose on long peduncles, 

 segments of calix striate — in West Louisiana 

 and Texas probably, disc, by Robin, many 

 weak stems pedal, white smooth flowers, cap- 

 sule oval polysperm. This may be the white 

 flowered Ger, auriculata of Louisiana hinted 

 at by some botanists.
