1 or 2 inches in diameter, very showy : sepals very unequal, often 

 enclosing the capsule : petals orange-yellow, firm, reflexed : sta-

 H. amnenum Pursh, 375 ; Nntt. Gen. ii. 10 ; Chois. 1. c. 

 South Carolina and Georgia, to Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas. 

 Varies much in the size of its leaves and sepals, the mountain forms usu- 

 ally having smaller leaves. 



8. fl. niyrtifoliuiu Lam. More or less branching: leaves 

 cordate-oblong, clasping, obtuse, half to an inch long, 3 to 6 lines 

 wide, those of the cyme much smaller : flowers not an inch in di- 

 ameter, in compound cymes : sepals resembling the leaves, larger 

 than the floral bracts, often reflexed : capsule as in the last, but 

 coriaceous and 3 or 4-lobed or angled, — Diet. iv. 180; Chois. I.e. 

 547; Torr. & Gray, 1. c. 162.

H. sessiliflarum Willd. Spreng. Syst. iii. 346; Torr. & Gray, 1. c 166. 



From South Carolina to Florida and Alabama. 



=^ =^ Sepals small, very narrow : flowers small, axillary and terminal : 

 leaves narrow and much fascicled in the axils : shrubby and branching. 



9. H. fasciculatura Lam. One to three feet high : leaves very 

 narrowly linear and revolute, coriaceous, crowded, closely sessile, 

 not tapering at base, usually with a line of large pellucid glands 

 upon each revolute edge, 2 to 8 lines long : sepals resembling 

 the leaves, shorter than the petals : capsule 3-lobed, oblong- to 

 ovate-conical, few-seeded, a line or two long. — Diet. iv. 160; 

 Chois. in DC. Prodr. i. 554; Torr. & Gray, Fl. 160.

Myriandra nitida, hrachyphylla, and galimdes of Spach. 



Wet pine barrens, from North Carolina to Florida. Louisiana, and E. 

 Texas. 



Very variable in length and fasciculation of leaves. Lamarck's original 

 specimen is our short-leaved form (var. aspalathoides), while his H. nilidum is a 

 loose, long-leaved form, approaching some forms of the next species. 



10. H. galioides Lam. Like the last, but leaves longer and 

 broader, linear-lanceolate to oblanceolate, generally mucronate,
