Species incertae, mihi invisae. 



1 . Galphimia humilis (Rose) Niedenzu. — Thryallis humilis Rose in Contrib. U. S. 

 Nat. Herb. XII. 7. (1909) 280; Small in N. Amer. Fl. XXV. II. (1910) 151. — "Low 

 bushy shrub, 30 to 60 cm high, slightly pubescent; leaves lanceolate, 4 to 7 cm long, 

 2 to 3 cm broad, glabrous, very pale beneath, acute, tapering at base into a short 

 petiole, somewhat revolute-margined at least in herbarium specimens, bearing a stalked 

 gland on each margin a little distance above the base, but these sometimes wanting; 

 racemes terminal, elongated, sometimes 20 cm long; pedicels slender, 1 to 1,5 cm long;

Mexico: Collected by J. N. Rose on the road between Goncepcion and Acaponeta, 

 Tepic, July 29, 1897 (no. 1907). — Type U. S. National Herbarium no. 300792." 

 Nota. A Galphimia graeili Bartl. parum diversa. 



2. Galphimia latifolia Bartling in Linnaea XIII. (1839) 553; Jussieu Malp. Syn. 

 (1840) 327 et in Arch. Mus. III. (1843) 324. — Thryallis latifolia O. Kuntze Rev. gen. 

 pl. I. (1891) 89; Rose in Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. XII. 7. (1909) 281. — Thryallis 

 glauca p. p. Small in N. Amer. Fl. XXV. II. (19 10) 156. — " O. foliis ovalibus ob- 

 tusissimis basi cuneato-angustatis subtus glaucescentibus, petiolis mediocribus biglandulosis, 

 glandulis oblongis depressis, pedicellis infra medium articulatis, petalis oblongis, ungue 

 supremo concolore. — In regno Mexicano sec. b. Hunnemann, qui a. 1837 semina 

 misit (v. v. c). — Specimina H. Gott. a. 1837 e seminibus enata 2 — 3 pedes alta, 

 erecta, superne parce ramosa, habitu G. graeili similia, sed omnibus partibus robustiora. 

 Rami glabri, ramuli juniores serieeo-pubescentes. Folia omnia opposita patentissima 

 planiuscula glabra, supra opaca viridia, subtus glaucescentia, laxe reticulato-venosa, obtu- 

 sissima interdum retusa submucronata, basi breviter in petiolum euneato-angustata, plera- 

 que lato-ovalia, nonnulla ovato-subrotunda vel lato-ovata, interdum Cotini foliis simillima, 

 1 — 2 poll. longa. Petioli lamina plerumque triplo breviores, crassiusculi teretiusculi, 

 supra anguste canaliculati, obsolete puberuli biglandulosi. Glandulae medio petiolo vel 

 saepius eidem apicem versus immo ad basin laminae insertae, approximati vel distantes, 

 sessiles, oblongae patelliformes, guttulam limpidam secernentes. Stipulae vix semilineam 

 longae semiovatae acutae appressae. Racemi terminales solitarii erecti, laxi, breviter 

 peduneulati, digitales. Rhachis teretiuscula superne irregulariter angulata, pilis minutis 

 subfasciculatis rufis appressis adspersa. Pedicelli sparsi, inferiores oppositi, 8 — 1 lin. 

 longi, filiformes, rufo-subhirsuti, infra medium articulati, articulo inferiore erecto-patulo 

 bracteolas duas remotiusculas oblongo-lanceolatas */ 2 lin. longas gerente; superiore duplo 

 longiore divergente. Bracteae oblongo-lanceolatae appressae 1 — 1 */ 2 nn » longae. Galycis 

 segmenta glabra patula apice recurva lineari-oblonga acutiuscula, margine vix membra- 

 nacea, lin. longa. Petala patentissima calyce 3 — 4-plo longiora pallide flava, carina 

 venulisque viridibus, minutissime denticulato-ciliata oblonga obtusa, basi in unguem 

 calyce duplo breviorem attenuata; supremum reliquis paulo latius ovato-oblongum, ungue 

 parum latiore et profundius canaliculato. Filamenta filiformia glabra persistentia, 5 lon- 

 giora calycem aequantia. Antherae lin. longae. Styli flavi divaricati stamina paulo 

 superantes. Germen subglobosum, viride, glabrum." 



Nota. Species mihi potius O. glandülosae vel O. SeJiiedeanae quam O. graeili affinis esse 

 videtur. Specimine vero non suppetente, nil certi affirmari licet. 



3. Galphimia montana (Rose) Niedenzu. — Thryallis montana Rose in Contrib. 

 U. S. Nat. Herb. XII. 7. (1909) 281. — "A small shrub 1 to 2 meters high; branches 

 reddish glabrous ; blade broadly ovate 3 to 4 cm long 15 to 2 5 mm broad, acute or 

 sometimes rounded at apex, rounded or broadly euneate at apex (base?), bearing two 

 sessile glands at base; petiole 5 to 7 mm long; racemes 4 to 10 cm long, slightly 

 pubescent; pedicels 10 to 12 mm long, jointed much below the middle; sepals oblong, 

 glabrous obtuse; petals 8 mm long including the slender claw; fruit 4 mm long.
