and rather weak prickles; entire plant whitish, with a dense stellate 
pubescence; leaves lanceolate, entire, or wavy-margined (sometimes 
slightly lobed); flower blue, 9’ in diameter, the linear anthers opening 
only at the tip; ovary tomentose; mature berry black, 6’ in diameter.— 
New Mexico and Arizona (83, 342). 
CHAMASARACHA* soRDIDA, Gray (Withania? sordida, Dunal, in DC. 
Prod. xiii, p. 456; also in Bot. Mex. Bound. p. 155)—Branching, somewhat 
glandular-pubescent; leaves oblanceolate, entire, attenuate into a petiole; 
calyx glandular-hairy, with forked hairs; corolla sulphur-yellow, 6” in 
diameter; stamens sub-exserted; style clavate; stigma sub-capitate— 
Camp Bowie, Arizona, at 5,300 feet (471). 
CramMa@saRAcHa Coronopus, Gray (Withania? Coronopus, Torr. Bot. 
Mex. Bound. p. 155).—Smoothish or slightly glandular-hairy, branching; 
leaves linear-lanceolate, attenuate into a petiole, irregularly deeply sinuate- 
toothed, thickish; calyx with forked hairs. Corolla light yellow; stamens 
sub-included; style clavate; stigma sub-capitate—McArthy’s Ranch, New 
Mexico (111). Notwithstanding the difference in leaves usually manifested 
by these two species, there is a decided tendency for them to vary toward . 
each other; this along with the similar pubescence, the close resem- 
blance of the flowers, and the same prominently ridged and roughened 
campylotropous seeds, make me feel almost sure they will have to come 
together. 
Paysais Losata, Torr—Low, spreading; root perennial; leaves oval 
or spatulate, tapering into a margined petiole. Corolla violet-purple ; fruit- 
ing calyx 6” in diameter, winged, inflated; entire plant glabrous, except the 
young calyx and pedicels, which are “mealy”; seeds thickish, somewhat 
tuberculate roughened.—Deer Spring, Arizona, 6,000 feet altitude (189).

*“CHAMASARACHA, Gray.—Calyx 5-lobed, enlarging after flowering, but remaining rather her- 
baceons, not reticulated, incompletely investing the rather dry-globose berry. Corolla rotate, 5-angu- 
late. Anthers short, on slender (not at all connivent) filaments, the cells opening lengthwise through- 
out.—Low Texano-Californian herbs; with the corolla of Saracha and a calyx between that of Solanum 
and Physalis, with rather narrow sae tapering into margined petioles, and in their axils filiform soli- 
tary or sometimes geminate pedicels, which are mostly refracted, or recurved in fruit. Corolla white, 
yellowish, or tinged with violet.”—Gray, FI. Cal. 1, p. 540.
