*H. lobocarpum, n. sp. Hollow Rock, West Tenn. July. 



"H. lahocarpum Gattinger, n. sp. S3pals linear-lanceolate, small, 

 unequal, 1^-3 lines long. Petals unequal, unsymmetric, 3-6 lines long, 

 reflected, early deciduous. Capsule iive-celled, deeply five-lobed, lanceo- 

 late, tapering into a long beak. Carpels almost distinct, and at full 

 maturity falling away from a central axis. Seeds 1 mm. lonjr, incurved, 

 apiculate, striate lengthwise, transversely groove t. Leaves linear, obtuse, 

 slightly mucronate, attenuate downwards, pale underneath." 



Shrub, 5-7 feet high, with upright branches. Low swampy lands in 

 the orange sand formation at Hollow Kock, Carroll Co., West Tennessee. 

 First collected in fruit in 1867, and again Juh^ 1886, in flower. Only two 

 shrubs found, in very swampy ground, at the time nearly inaccessible. I 

 have since received specimens of a Hvpericum Libelled H. proliticum, 

 "collected by Dr. H. E. Hasse of Little Rock, Ark., in wet pine barrens," 

 which prove to be the same species. •
