pear types of two subgenera differing hsPnnc* 

 tenis and Aureolaria. 



407. Macranthera leconti Torrey (or 

 Toxopus gymnanthes Raf.) leaves smooth pe- 

 tiolate ovate lanceol. sinuate pinnatifid, bracts 

 and segments of calix linear lanceolate entire 

 in Florida and on the R. Alatamaka, 2 or 3 

 feet high, flowers atitumnal deep yellow. Tor- 

 rey states the stigma to be simple and yet his 

 figure shows it quite bifid and bilamellar. 



408. Macranthera fuschioides T. Benth 

 (or Toxopus calycinus or Tomilix bracteata 

 Rat) Conradia Nut. rar. 41. fig. Smooth 

 leaves petiolate lanceolate sublyrate pinnatifid, 

 bracts ovate sinuate, segments of calix lanceo- 

 late unequal foliose serrate — in' Alabama, fine 

 large plant with golden flowers, the calix is 

 nearly as in Panctenis, and the stigma certain- 

 ly simple, these two characters indicate a sub- 

 genus if not a Genus ! my Tomilix meaning cut 

 calyx. 



409. APENTOSTERA Raf. (no fiflh ste- 

 rile) Calix 5parted subequal, corolla yentricose 

 campanul. bilabiate, upper lip erect bilobe, low- 

 er trilobe. Stamens 4 didyn. anthers villose, 

 no fifth sterile filament. Capsule ovate acute, 

 seeds angular not winged. Leaves opposite, 

 flowers axillary, racemose purplish — this N. 

 'G. of Origon is probably fecond in sp. It links 

 the Gerardia group with the Pentostemon. 

 Totaly unlike our real Chlonanthus (chelone) 

 having the corolla convex short and winged 

 seedsr Pentostemon which now includes a 

 crowd of sp. that must be divided into 5 Gen- 

 era, differ by the fifth filament and various co- 

 rollas. Also near to Pagesia.
