48 DIDTNAMIA. ANGIOSPERMlA. 



acute, and scarcely a line long. Fruiting peduncle nea>- 

 iy the leng-lh of the flower. Corolla very similar to that 

 of G. teJivifoUa. Calix campanulate, minutely 5-toothed. 

 Capsule ovate, longer than the calix. Root annual, very 

 small. Now and then very minute leaves appear to be 

 produced, but they are generally wanting. 



7. *fUfoIia. Perennial? Stem terete, branched; leaves 

 filiform, carnose, subfasciculale, and alternate; flower- 

 ing peduncles longer than the leaves, alternate, calix: 

 acutely toothed; corolla large, vertricose-campanulate. 

 Hab In West Florida. Dr.BaldWyn. Obs. Leaves fili- 

 form, about an inch long, nearly terete, smooth, and very 

 slender, in the only dried specimen before me alternate, 

 collected in axillary clusters; flowers purple, as large as 

 G. purpurea^ orifice of the corolla pubescent, and ventri- 

 cose, flowering peduncle near an inch and a half long. A 

 species in aspect very distinct from all the preceding. I 

 suspect it to be either suffruticose or shrubby. 



8. awiculata. Chiefly indigenous to the western states 

 as far as Louisiana, it has also been once found near Ches- 

 ter in Delaware by Dr. Darlington, as I h.ave been inform- 

 ed by Mr. Collins. Ihis plant is considered to be Erinus 

 Afncamis in Muhlenberg's Catalogue, but surely neither 

 the same species nor genus, if tliere be any essential cha- 

 racter in Erinus It is more probably a species of Seyme- 

 7va. 9. cnneifalia. Ph. Calix oparted; leaves serrate. 

 G.lancifaUa? Muhl Catal. Not of this genus? 10. fru- 

 Hcosa. Ph. Leaves lanceolate, serrate, calix 5-parted; 

 flowers racemose and bracteate. Is it not rather a Bigi- 

 talu?

 11. Jlava. 12. quevcifoJia. Ph. 13. Pedictilaria. Leaves 

 nearly smooth, oblong, and pinnatifid, segments uncinate, 

 seiTate. — Common throughout the middle sates, (i. pec- 

 tinata. Stem and branches denselv pilose; leaves ()vate> 

 pectinately subbipinnaiifid, softly pubescent; calix hir- 

 sute, peduncle much shoiter. Hab. In the sandy pine 

 forests of Carolina and (icorgia. A mucii finer plant than 

 the common sjiecies and {)robably distinct; the lacinije 

 and serratures diverge nearly at right angles; flowers ve- 

 ry large and yellow. 



Probably an American genus, excluding the species of 

 Africa and India.
