In sandy or rocky soil, Texas. 
The species here described has been represented in her- 
baria for nearly fifty years. It is related to Passiflora tenuz- 
loba, but the two species may easily be separated from each 
other by the leaves and the characters may be contrasted 
thus: 
Middle lobe of the leaf-blades less than one-third as long as the nearly linear 
lateral lobes P. tenuiloba, 
Middle lobe - the leaf-blades as long as the cuneate lateral lobes or nearly 
SO. P. Bigelovit. 
The specimens cited below belong to the newly described 
Texas: Camp Green, Oct. 30. C. C. Parry, Mex. 
Bound. Surv., no. 393c; Mountains and rocky places on the 
Pecos, Sept. 10, 1852, J. M. Bigelow, Mex. Bound. Surv., 
no. 393d; San Diego, 1884, Mary B. Croft, no. 64. 
LEUCOTHOE ELONGATA. 
branching shrub 1-3 meters tall with puberulent or gla- 
brate foliage. Leaves firm; blades oblong, elliptic, or some- 
times oblong-oblanceolate or oblong-obovate, 2-5 cm. long, 
acute or slightly acuminate, serrulate, gradually or abruptly 
narrowed into short petioles: racemes 10-20 cm. long, quite 
slender: pedicels 1.5-3 mm. long, curved: calices us- 
ually puberulent; segments lanceolate, often narrowly so, 
3-4 mm. long, acuminate, ciliolate, involute: corollas 
with short subulate awns: capsules spheroidal, 3.5-4 
broad, much shorter than the calyx-segments. 
In swamps and low pine lands, Florida. Spring. 
The number of Leucothoés inhabiting the Atlantic sea- 
board and the Alleghenies must be increased to six. The 
species under consideration has hitherto been confused with 
Leucothoé racemosa. Specimens belonging here have been 
preserved in our herbaria for over fifty years. They may be 
segregated from specimens of Leucothoé racemosa by the 
elongated racemes and much longer, narrower and acuminate 
calyx-segments, which surpass the capsule. Besides these
