Plante Lindheimeriane. 43 
Industry. June — August. Also, in Drummond’s Texan 
Collection. Stems six to sixteen inches high, from a very 
thick perpendicular root. Leaves mostly broadly oval, and 
obtuse. Flowers large and greenish: calyx pubescent, one- 
third the length of the corolla. Follicles ovate-lanceolate, and 
with a long acumination, ‘‘ 8-angled, the angles often some- 
what tuberculated ; the outer one furnished with soft spines, 
or a dentated crest.” Lindheimer. ‘This species is nearly 
allied to A. longicornu, Benth., which we find has a similar 
gynostegium, only a little more decidedly 3-lobed at the apex, 
as well as a bifurcated horn, both lobes of which are shorter 
than in our species. There is also a bifurcated horn in 
A. obtusifolia.

in open woods, near Industry. April—June. (Also, No. 190 
and 203 of Drummond’s second, and 237 of the third Texan

times almost truncate at the base. Corolla greenish purple, 
about two lines in diameter. The fleshy lobes of the cup- 
shaped corone are furnished in the middle with a small pro-
