Polygala Carteri sp. nov. 
Biennial, dark green, glabrous: stem erect. 1-5.5 dm. tall, sim- 
ple or corymbosely branched above, rarely, if ever, tufted: leaves 
few, alternate and remote above the basal whorl; blades spatulate, 
sometimes broadly so at the base of the stem, a. spatulate 
to linear-oblong or nearly linear above, 1-3.5 cm. long, or shorter 
near the top of the stem, obtuse or acutish, ae sessile: racemes 
ovoid to cylindric, mostly about 1 cm. long during early anthesis, 
often oe 2.5-3.5 cm. long: bracts lanceolate, acuminate, 
1.5-2 mm. long: pedicels barely 1 mm. long: eae decurrent on 
clavate or forked processes: lateral petals nearly oblong, notched 
near the apex: style enlarged near the stigma, the incurved append- 
age dilated at the apex: capsule nearly 1 mm. broad: seed ovoid, 
pubescent, 0.7 mm. long, the caruncle minute or obsolete. 
A species related to Polygala Baldwinzi; but distinguished by 
its elongated racemes and cuspidate wings. The type-specimens 
were collected in the pinelands between Cutler and Black Point, 
November, 1903 (Small & Carter, no. 813). The following 
specimens also belong to this species: 
Camp Jackson, fo/fs, no. 282; Small & Welson, no. 1921. 
Between Homestead and Camp Jackson, Small & Walson, no. 
1674. 
Camp Longview, Small & Wilson, no. 1916. 
Cocoanut Grove, Small & Wilson, no. 1926. 
Polygala arenicola sp. nov. 
Biennial, with a short simple or branching caudex, the short 
lanceolate, 1.5-5 cm. long, mostly acute: racemes sessil ar] 
$0, I-2.5 cm. long, cylindric: rachis aaa bracts oar cana 
olate, acuminate, ultimately deciduous: flowers green a rying 
green: sepals decurrent on the pe dic el: wings ie long- 
acuminate, 5-6 mm. long, remotely ciliatc- serrulate, the sepals 
shorter and relatively broader: keel terminating in 2 blunt pro- 
cesses: lateral petals rounded and undulate at the apex: stamens 
: style prolonged into an incurved tufted appendage: seed nearly 
2 mm. long, the 2 reflexed lobes of the caruncle barely as long as 
the seed-body. 
This dwarf species is most closely related to Polygala nana 
(Michx.) DC. The plants are commonly smaller than those of
