 the natural history of the New World). Onagrdc 

 About 21 species of herbs from Mexico and Cent 

 America. Erect, branching, glabrous or pubescent: Ivs 

 alternate or the lower opposite, dentate: fls. usualb 

 small, in leafy racemes or subcorymbose at the ends o 

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

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

 clawed, inequal, the posterior ones narrower, the claw: 

 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 

 granulated coat. 



albifldra, Schlecht. Fig. 1319. Suffruticose, diffuse 

 2 ft. high: young branches somewhat villous : Ivs. cune 

 ate at the base, ovate-lanceolate, irregularly serrate o: 

 remotely dentate, largest IK in. long: pedicels hori 

 zontally spreading, slender: petals white, often tinge( 

 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 Ivs. being usually ovate or perhaps oblong 

 ovate, and the smaller petals longer than the sepals. 1 

 seems to flower through the winter.

 glossy, glabrous: two upper petals linear, bright 1 

 two side ones larger; lamina roundish obovate, h
