 shining, finely reticulate, glabrous, except for scattered hairs on the midrib 

 and on the short petiole: pedicels glandular-hirsute: calyx-lobes ovate, long- 

 ciliate, obtuse: corolla white, 3-3.5 cm. long, the tube somewhat enlarged near 

 the base, expanded near the limb, glandular-pubescent, the lobes narrow,

3. RHODODENDRON L. Evergreen shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate: 

 blades leathery, not ciliate. Calyx persistent: lobes broad and short. Corolla

 ally 10, slightly exserted with terminal pores. Style declined. Capsule elongate. 



1. B. Chapmanii A. Gray. Shrub 1-2 m. tall, the twigs scurfy: leaf -blades 

 oblong to oval, 2-5 cm. long, obtuse, resinif erous : corolla rose-colored, mottled 

 within; tube broadly funnelform, 16-20 mm. long; lobes crisped: capsules 

 nearly 1 cm. long. 



Pinelands, w. Fla. (Endemic.) Spr. Not recently collected. 



4. KALMIA L. Evergreen shrubs or trees. Leaves alternate, opposite, 

 or whorled: blades entire. Calyx persistent: lobes 5, leathery. Corolla regu- 

 lar, white or pink, rotate, the lobes obtuse: tube short, with 10 sacs. Stamens 

 10: filaments elastically straightening at maturity: anthers short, attached 

 near the top. Capsule spheroidal. 



1. K. latifolia L. Shrub, or tree becoming 12 m. tall, the twigs often fuzzy 

 when young: leaf -blades elliptic to oval, 5-12 cm. long, glabrous: sepals oblong 

 to oblong-ovate, about 2 mm. long: corolla white or pink, 20-25 mm. wide:

5. KALMIELLA Small. Evergreen low shrubs. Leaves alternate: blades 

 relatively small. Calyx deciduous: lobes 5, foliaceous. Corolla regular, pink, 

 mainly similar to that of Kalmia, but lobes acute. Stamens 10: filaments 

 elastic: anthers short, attached near the middle. Capsule of an ovoid type. 



1. K. hirsuta (Walt.) Small. Shrub 1-6 dm. tall, twigs hirsute: leaf -blades 

 oblong, lanceolate or oval-orbicular, 4-10 mm. long: pedicels 4-10 mm. long,
