446 Mr. J. Miers on the genus Saracha. 
9. Saracha viscosa, Schrad. Sweet. Br. Fl. Gard, (2nd ser.) 4.. 
tab. 323; Botanist, 4. tab. 168. 
10. pubescens, Willd. R. & Sch. Syst. 4. 687. 
il. allogona, Schl. Linn. 19. 808. Solanum allogo- 
num, Bernh. Linn. 8. 252; Walp. Rep. 3. 48. 
From this list are excluded S. punctata, R. & P., referred to 
Pecilochroma (Lond. Journ. Bot. 7. p. 854), and S. geniculata, 
Mart. & Gall. Bull. Ac. Br. 12. 1. 183; Walp. 6. 575, which is 
evidently referable to Physalis, on account of its solitary pendu- 
lous flowers and yellow corolla with large purple spots. Galeotti’s 
Mexican plant, no. 1226, is said by Schlechtendal (Linn. 19. 308) 
to be the Saracha angulata, Linn., which is clearly a typical error, 
instead of Physalis angulata, Linn. Among the doubtful or un- 
described species of Saracha may also be mentioned as of no 
value for want of sufficient details, S. brasiliensis, Klotzsch, Linn. 
14. 290; S. micrantha, DeC. Cat. Hort. Monsp. 1813 ; 8. peru- 
viana, D. Diet. Giartnerlexicon, 8. 525. 
The following new species are now to be added to this genus: 
12. Saracha ciliata (un. sp.) ;—caule angulato, glabro, vel sparse 
aspero-pilosulo, dichotome ramoso; foliis geminis, oblongis, 
utrinque attenuatis, subglabris, aut leviter glanduloso-asperis, 
eroso-denticulatis, et ad marginem ciliatis, breviter petiolatis ; 
edunculo brevi, axillari, vel e dichotomiis orto, umbellatim 
2-floro, pedicellis apice incrassatis, pilosis; calyce majusculo, 
5-partito, fere glabro, in nervis piloso, laciniis acutis ; corolla 
ampla, pallide lutea, rotata, angulato-5-loba, lobis acutis, 
glabra, sed in nervis 15 extus pilosa, staminibus coroll di- 
midio brevioribus, glabris—Peruvia, v. s. in herb. Hook. (in 
valle Lime, Mathews, n. 834), 
This plant im its habit much resembles S. diffusa, but it is dif- 
ferent in the form of its leaves, and in its much larger pale yel- 
low flowers, with comparatively short, glabrous stamens and large 
anthers. Its leaves are 1% inch long, % inch broad, on a petiole 
1 inch long: the peduncle is 4 lines long, and its much thicker 
pedicels are of equal length : its broadly spread campanular calyx 
is half an inch long, cleft nearly half way into five equal acute 
segments : the corolla is probably the largest of the genus, mea- 
suring in diameter nearly 2 inches, with five deep acute lobes, 
the stamens being quite glabrous, erect, and 4 or 5 lines long. 
13. Saracha propinqua (n. sp.) ;—herbacea, caule dichotome 
ramoso ; glabro ; foliis lanceolato-ellipticis, margine eroso-den- 
ticulatis, utrinque sparse glanduloso-asperis, petiolo gracili, 
pubescente ; pedunculo elongato, gracili, umbellatim 2—6-floro, 
axillari vel e dichotomiis orto, vix pubescente, pedicellis longis, 
filiformibus ; calyce rotato, lobis acutis ; corolla cerulea, rotata,
