may always be distinguished by the broad semicordate base of, the leaves, 
the lower half of which is protracted and almost auriculate, and by the 
sharply cross-ribbed and at the angles, notched seeds. The form collected 
at Zuni is suberect, nearly a span high, with leaves more sharply serrate 
than usual, and more distinctly rugose.

186; Boiss. /. c. 48.—Plant, pale dull green, covered with a short, scanty 
pubescence; many prostrate stems from a perennial root, a span to a foot 
long; leaves rather large (6’’ long or more), oblique, oblong, obtuse, 
entire; small stipules triangular-subulate; involucres in few-flowered, 
lateral, leafy cymes; glands with broad, dentate appendages; capsules 
canescent ; seeds oblong, angular, strongly marked with 4 deep transverse 
grooves, deeply notched on the edges.—Cienega, near Tucson, Ariz, 
Rothrock, 1874 (576). A native of our extreme Southwest, from Arizona 
to Southern California and into adjoining Mexico; well marked by its 
larger, dull grayish-green leaves, and especially by the (for the section) 
large, deeply grooved and notched seeds, which curiously simulate some 
insect.

188; Gray, Man. 432.—T wo forms were collected.by Dr. Rothrock in 1874. 
The common form (672) from Camp Crittenden, Southern Arizona, is that of 
the States, called EZ. Preslii, Guss., Boiss. 1. c. 22, glabrous, with rather small, 
blackish, much cross-wrinkled seeds The other form (720), from Camp 
Lowell, Southern Arizona, has seeds larger than the last, in size between 
those of EL. Brasiliensis, Lam., and the large-seeded E. Bahiensis, Boiss., 
and in form similar to them; all of these have thick, short, almost ovate- 
cubic, black seeds, with few prominent tubercles arranged in about 2 inter- 
rupted transverse ridges. Our plant is nearly glabrous; leaves very pale - 
below, with long, sparse ciliz on the upper edge near the base-—The 
different species allied to E. hypericifolia require further study, as it is a 
mooted question whether the pubescence of the plant and even that of the 
capsules, and the size, the color, and the markings of the seed, constitute 
here specific differences. If they do not, then we have here one of the 
most polymorphous species, spread over all the warmer countries of the
