 large obtuse teeth, margin and nerves ciliate ;

 oblono densiflore pubescent, bracts equal ovate

1 have described above 6 of my most distinct 

 sp. of this Genus, 2 others PL goiiophyla and 

 atrofiisca of Illinois are in Atlantic Journal 

 page 150 ; but I have in my Herbarium a crowd 

 of other N. Sp. and varieties, some of which are 

 blended with P/. cordata, media, lanceolata^ 

 major ^SfC of our botanists ; when I shall pre- 

 pare a Monograph of this G..they shall be dis- 

 tinguished. I have called them VI elliptica, 

 comprcssa^ crassifolia, undulata, repanda, 

 roluudifolia, rlparia, longipes, pycnanlhes, 

 paiictuora^ pilosa, brevifolia, breviscapis, 

 ei'lorhiza, serpentaria^peregrina, halduini, 



718. LiTTORELLA FLExuosA Raf. This G. 

 was not deemed American, and this sp. will 

 form perhaps a N. G. when examined alive ; it 

 is at least a subgenus, which I call Xamotris 

 (dwarf raceme) and it differs by calix unequal, 

 imbricate segments of iimer perig. or corolla 

 also aucquaL Habit scapes racemose with- 

 out bracts. Sca|)ose, leaves cespitose linear 



obtuse falcate smooth, base wooly, entire or 

 with a few scattered gashes, uninerve ; scapes 

 shorter flexuose racemose pauciflore— Sent me 

 from Alabama and found in Arkanzas by Nut- 

 tal. deemed by him a nameless Plantago in Coll. 

 herb, annual, leaves 1 or 2 inches long narrow.
