(425 ) 
A species with the habit of Linum medium (Planch.) Britton, 
with which it agrees in many characters. It may readily be dis- 
tinguished from L. medium by the ovate and toothed outer sepals; 
these in Z. medtum being lanceolate and entire. The type- 
specimens were collected near Nassau, N. P., Bahamas, by Mr. A. 
H. Curtiss, May, 1903 (no. 207). During the fall of 1903, the 
species was discovered in the everglades between Cocoanut Grove 
and Cutler, Florida, by Mr. J. J. Carter and the writer (no. 565). 
In March, 1904, Dr. Britton collected specimens of this species in 
the homestead country below Cutler (no. 180).
