P. nana and may be distinguished by the narrow leaf-blades, as 
contrasted with the more or less dilated spatulate leaf-blades of 
that species, and by the smaller flowers with less attenuate tips of 
the sepals. The type-specimens were collected in pinelands be- 
tween Cocoanut Grove and Cutler in November, 1903 (Small & 
Carter, no. 1276) 
pecimens were also collected by Dr. Britton, at Perrine below 
Cutler, in March, 1904 (no. 149). 
Polygala ioe sp. nov. 
Perennial, glabrous, deep green: stems several or many from a 
short caudex, eee ee ne decumbent, procumbent or declin- 
spatulate, the lower ones often broadly so, the upper narrowly so, 
or linear-spatulate, 4-11 mm. long, slender-tipped, sessile: racemes 
narrow, elongated and interrupted in age: bracts lanceolate or 
linear- uae 1.5-2 mm. long, deciduous: pedicels 0.5-1.5 
mm. long: flowers greenish, or pink-tinged: sepals not decurrent 
on the ae pale-edged, wings oval, usually acutish, 2.5—- 
oS 
petals broadly ovate, about 2 mm. lo se: stamens 8: s 
at nal incurved appendage and 2 auricles at the base of 
the stigma: capsule oblong, 2.5 mm. long: seed about 2 mm. 
long, hairy, the reflexed caruncle-lobe barely one half as long as 
the seed-body. 
A characteristic species related to Polygala BoykinizZ Nutt. but 
different in habit and typical condition with very numerous leaves. 
The flowers are commonly more numerous and smaller than in P. 
Boykinit, while the wings are obovate instead of ovate. The cap- 
sules are relatively longer and narrower than in P. Boykinéé and 
smaller. The type-specimens were collected in the pinelands, along 
the homestead trail near Camp Longview, in November, 1903 
(Small & Carter, no. 1078). Other specimens belonging to this 
species are as follows: 
Black Point, Small & — no. 829. 
Gossmans, &rztfoz, no. 169. 
Long Key (mainland), Smal & Wrlson, no. 1806. 
PEDILANTHUS TITHYMALOIDES (L.) Poit. 
This succulent vine, rather common in the West Indies, has be- 
come thoroughly established in Brickell Hammock south of Miami.
