Mr. Buckley on some New Species of Plants. 171 
Cumberland Mountains, Tennessee: flowers in April. Plant 
1-2 feet high, with the habit of Streptopus lanuginosus, but dif- 
fers from that species in its larger flowers and spotted sepals. 
SMILAX GRANDIFOLIA (7. sp.): leaves cordate ovate, abruptly 
acuminate, smooth, shortly petioled, 5-7 nerved; flowers nu- 
merous, reddish brown, on peduncles 1-2 inches long, anthers 
yellowish white ; stem terete, and upper branches often unarmed ; 
prickles slender, 3—4 lines long, and very acute. 
Hab. Alabama and Mountains of North Carolina. July. 
Stem climbing, 8-10 feet long, often the whole plant nearly 
smooth or with a few scattered prickles. Leaves large, on petioles 
2-4 lines long. Differs from S. rotundifolia in its larger leaves, 
longer peduncles, more numerous and differently colored flowers, 
and more slender prickles. 
Puace.ia Pursuit (n. sp.): assurgent, pilose ; upper leaves ses- 
sile, pinnatifid, lower petiolate and subpinnate ; lobes lanceolate ; 
acute segments of the corolla fimbriate.—Whole plant, especially 
the leaves and calyx, very hispid. Flowers blue, ina simple ter- 
minal raceme ; pedicels elongated; stamens exsert ; anthers oblong 
elliptic; style two-cleft, longer than the stamens. Differs from 
P. fimbriata of Michx. in its blue and more numerous flowers, 
erect habit, and also in being larger and much more rigid and 
pilose. Phacelia fimbriata, Pursh, Flora, Vol. I, p. 140. 
Hab. Western and Southern States. Mr. John Carey, of New 
York, showed me the error into which Pursh had fallen in sup- 
posing this plant to be P. fimbriata, of Michaux. 
Pracetia Fimpriata (Michx.): procumbent, assurgent ; upper 
leaves sessile, pinnatifid, lower petioled, subpinnatifid ; lobes of the 
upper leaves sublanceolate, acuminate; segments of the lower 
leaves ovate, subobtuse ; raceme solitary, short ; corolla white, sub- 
rotate, lobes of the margin ciliate; flowers subdistant on elonga- 
ted pedicels. 
Hab. High mountains, North Carolina. Michaux, Flora, Vol. 
I, p. 134. 
Whole plant slightly pilose or nearly smooth, 6-8 inches high. 
Easily distinguished from the preceding by its. procumbent habit, 
white subrotate corolla, and fewer flowers. It is also much 
smoother and less rigid.
