90 vEOBorr, 



by Ware in 1821, Stem 2 or. 3 inchtes high, 

 leaves half inch long, head large, flowers green- 

 ish. I have a var of P. lutea near this same 

 size and habit, but w^ith few leaves narrower, 

 heads depressed, flowers realy bright yellow, 

 wings broader obovate acuminate : it will be 

 my var pnucifolia, and they all evince a ten- 

 dency to deviate from P. lulea, 

 GENTIANIDES. 



This lovely family of plants wai^ in utter con- 

 fusion, as I have proved in rectifying it, in fl. 

 tellur. 435 to 500, where many N. G. and sp. 

 are established. I have also restored the G, 

 Anthopogon, Pneumonanthe, Dasistepha, Ci- 

 minalisjCicendia, Tretorhiza &-c of former bo- 

 tanists, neglected by the linnean blenders. I 

 there gave also some new N. Amer. sp. and I 

 still mean to give hereafter their complete mo- 

 nograph, our species have been increased late- 

 ly by myself and Hooker tQ 50 or 60, while 

 Linneus had only half a dozen of this continent, 

 I now must merely add some other interesting 

 novelties. 



970. Anthopogon incarnatum Raf. Genti- 

 ana purpurea Muhl. fl. lancastr. Coll. herb, stem 

 humble branched, branches compressed sub4- 

 gone uniflore, leaves lanceolate, acute, lower 

 subcuneate, calix 4gone, segments ovate lanceol. 

 acum, margin colored, 2 alt, narrower, corolla 

 ciliate tyvfce as long— another beautiful sp. of 

 this fine G. discovered by Muhlenberg since 1790, 

 found by myself in the Alleghanies 1804, since 

 omitted or mistaken for a variety by our botan- 

 ists (myself included) but now restored and fix- 

 ed, only 6 to 10 inches high, with several erect 

 branches, leaves uncial, narrower than in A. 

 cHnitum. broader than in A, virgatnm fl. tel.
