LOPEZIA (after the Spaniard Lopez, who wrote on 

 the natural history of the New World). OnagrdceiP. 

 Aboiit 21 species of herbs from Mexico and Central 

 America. Erect, branching, glabrous or pube.scent: lvs. 

 alternate or the lower opposite, dentate: fls. usually 

 small, in leafy racemes or subcorymbose at the ends of 

 branches, slender-pedicelled; calyx limb 4-parted, in- 

 equal, deciduous, linear-Iobed ; petals 4, short- or long- 

 clawed, inequal, the posterior ones narrower, the claws 

 glandular at the apex; stamens 2, attached to the pistil, 

 one anther-bearing, the other petal-like; ovary 4-celled: 

 capsule globose, leathery: seeds obovoid, with a leathery, 

 granulatrd .-oat. 



albiSlbra, Schlecht. Fig. 1319. SufPruticose, diffuse, 

 2 ft. high: young branches somewhat villous: lvs. cune- 

 ate at the base, ovate-lanceolate, irregularly serrate or 

 remotely dentate, largest IK in- long: pedicels hori- 

 zontally spreading, slender: petals white, often tinged 

 slightly pinkish at base, larger ones obliquely spatulate, 

 obtuse and mostly notched, smaller ones linear, obtuse, 

 as long as sepals. Mex. — Cult, at Harvard Botanic Gar- 

 den, where the plant differs from the original descrip- 

 tion by the lvs. being usually ovate or perhaps oblong- 

 ovate, and the .smaller petals longer than the sepals. It 

 seems to flower through the winter.
