Scutellaria longiflora sp. nov. 
Perennial, minutely hoary-pubescent: stem usually branched at 
the base; the branches erect or nearly so, 1-3 dm. tall, sometimes 
sparingly branched above, the hairs ascending : leaf-blades orbic- 
ular-ovate to ovate, 3-6 mm. long, obtuse, minutely pubescent on 
both sides, those of the lower leaves sometimes shallowly toothed, 
those of the upper entire, all short-petioled: pedicels about as long 
as the mature calyx, subtended by very small bracts similar to the 
ea calyx about 1.5 mm. long during anthesis, becoming 3 
. long, the relatively large crest about the middle: corolla deep 
phe about 1.5 cm. long; tube gradually from about the middle to 
broadly and shallowly 3-lobed: nutlets slightly over 1 mm. long,

A species related to Scutellaria Havanensts Jacq., differing in its 
erect stem, copiously pubescent and thick leaf-blades, and shaggy 
pubescent corolla. The type-specimens were collected in the pine- 
lands near Camp Longview in November, 1903 (Small & Carter,

both on the mainland and in the Bahamas, viz. :
