near Austin. The leaves on the flowering branches are from 
an inch to an inch anda half long; those of young sterile 
shoots larger. Tube of the corolla 5 lines long. —I possess

apparently differs only as the L. flava 6. Torr. & Gray, I. ¢.

appears to belong here: the figure shows at least subsessile, erect fruits; but the

plant are lanceolate.” G. ENGELMANN. 
1 From the collection made by Lindheimer in 1849, Dr. Engelmann communicates 
the following: 
SympnoricaRpus spicatus (Engelm. Mss.): foliis obovatis obtusis brevissime 
petiolatis supra demum glabratis subtus pubescentibus pallidis; floribus (15 - 30) 
in spicas axillares arcte glomeratas congestis ; corollis intus barbatis ; baccis rubris. 
— Shady bottom woods, New Braunfels. A small shrub, 2 or 3 feet high, with 
numerous slender branches. Leaves about three fourths of an inch long, half an 
inch wide ; the lower leaves wider, almost orbicular. Spikes from 4 to 6, or in fruit 
8 or 10, lines long. Flowers a little smaller than in S. glomeratus, to which our 
species bears a strong affinity. It is, however, distinguished by its smaller, obtuse 
leaves, the spiked flowers, the larger and apparently more juicy fruit, and the 
broader, more compressed seeds. Of the numerous flowers in each spike only a 
few mature fruit.” Engelm.
