Mr. J. Miers on the genus Saracha. 449 
the pedicels 4 inch in length, and the calyx nearly half an inch in 
‘diameter. 
18. Saracha conspersa (n. sp.) ;—caule dichotome ramoso, angu- 
lato-striato, pubescente ; foliis geminatis, oblongis, acuminatis, 
basi subobtusiusculis, repente attenuatis et in petiolum elon- 
gatum decurrentibus, utrinque molliter pubescentibus, nervis 
patentim pilosis, margine subrevoluto ciliatis ; floribus umbel- 
latis, pedunculo axillari petiolo duplo longiore, pedicellis 4-6 
dimidio brevioribus, patentim radiatis ; calycis laciniis lineari- 
acutis, patentim villosis ; corolla rotata, viridi-lutea, maculis 
plurimis viridibus ad medium notata, glabra, 5-angulata, an- 
gulis acutis, margine ciliata, staminibus glaberrimis, erectis, 
corollz szquilongis.—Mexico, v. in herb. Hook. (Dr. Coulter, 
Zimapan, no. 1227.) 
The leaves of this plant are 23 inches long, 14 inch broad, on 
a pilose slender petiole half an inch in length; the peduncle is 
1; inch, the pedicels 5 to $ inch long, the fucy 2 lines, the co- 
rolla 3 inch in diameter, avd the stamens + inch in length, 
19. Saracha acutifolia (n. sp.) ;—caule angulato, fere glabro ; 
foliis lineari-lanceolatis, grosse inciso-serratis, apice acumina- 
tissimis, imo in petiolum attenuatis, utrinque in nervis mar- 
gineque sparse pilosis ; floribus axillaribus, foliis dimidio bre- 
vioribus, pedunculo eracili, sub 2-floro ; calyce acutilobo, hir- 
sutulo ; corolla rotata, 5-angulata, lutea, glabra, margine ciliata, 
intus imo maculata et tomentosa, staminibus brevioribus, fila- 
mentis glabris, antheris tisque xquilongis.—California, v. in 
herb. Hook. (Dr. Coulter, no. 593.) 
The specimen above noticed is not more than 4 inches in 
length, and is probably only a fragment, but the plant would 
seem to be very small in its growth: the leaves are 1} inch long, 
5 lines wide in their broadest part, with about five deeply incised 
teeth on each side; the petiole measures only + inch, the hairs 
are very short and ‘seabrid, and are seen chiefly on the nervures 
and margin ; the calyx is very short with acute lobes, about a line 
long ; the corolla across its mouth measures about 5 3 inch in dia- 
meter, the filaments are 2 lines, the anthers 13 fine? and the 
pistil 3 lines long: the peduncle and pedicels together measure 
about half an inch. 
20. Saracha vestita (n. sp.) ;—caule fere suffruticoso, molliter to- 
mentoso-hirtello; foliis oblongis, apice attenuato-acuminatis, 
basi obtusiusculis, margine eroso-denticulatis, utrinque tomen- 
tosis, breviter petiolatis, petiolis pedunculisque pilis patentibus 
articulatis flavidis dense sericeis ; pedunculo axillari, sub-brevi, 
2-floro ; calyce piloso, 5- dentato ; ; corolla rotata, 5-angulata,
