long. aesin rather rigid, with revolute margins, 5 or 6 lines long, but from 3 to 5 inches in transverse diameter ; the 
lobes about 3 lines wide, the lateral ones sometimes bearing a posterior tooth or lobule. Flowers 8 or 9 lines in 
diameter. Only a single specimen was gathered by Lindbeizer.

subtus pubescentibus pallidis ; floribus (15-30) in spicas axillares arcte glomeratas congestis ; corollis intus bar- 
batis ; baccis rubris. — Shady bottom woods, New Braunfels. A small shrub, 2 or 3 feet high, with numerous slen- 
der branches. Leaves about three-fourths of an inch long, half an inch wide; the lower leaves wider, almost orbicu- 
lar. Spikes from 4 to 6, or in fruit 8 or 10, lines long. Flowers a little smaller than in S. glomeratus, to which our 
species bears a strong affinity. It is, however, dintineniabed by its smaller, obtuse leaves, the spiked flowers, the 
larger and apparently more oo fruit, and the broader, more compressed seeds. Of the numerous flowers in each 
spike on cif a few mature 
. Fepia aes STENOCARPA, Eingelm. mss. The fruit is not only much smaller and [217] 
more eae than that of F. radiata, but the proportion of the empty cells is different ; these being muc 
smaller than the seed; while in the former they are about equal, and in F. carinata (which has a different habit,) 
larger. Cauline leaves often rated dentate at the base, or almost pinnatifid, but sometimes entire. 
FEDIA AMARELLA, Lindh. mss. : glaberrima, erecta, versus apicem dichotomo-cymosa ; foliis inferioribus — 
latis basi longe attenuatis, mnie, oblongo-linearibus sessilibus vel basi subcordatis, omnibus integris o 
fructibus minimus subgloboso-ovatis obtuse auriculatis hispidis, loculis sterilibus fertili subgloboso multo EE ee 
brevioribusque pene obliteratis. — Comanche Spring; flowering in May. — Plant 8 to 12 inches high, in habit similar 
o F. radiata and F. stenocarpa; but the leaves are entire in all the specimens; and the fresh herb has a bitter taste, 
which the other species have not. The fruit is much smaller than in any other species known to me ; the sterile 
cells many times smaller than the seed, their cavity almost obliterated.

leo-atris) stipitem sequantibus. — Comanche Sprigg, climbing high over trees, in shady places. August-September. — 
Near P. lutea in aspect ; from which it is distinguished by the bracteate peduneles, the deeply lobed leaves, the 
larger flowers, smaller seeds, &c. Lower leaves 3 inches long, and 4 wide, less deeply lobed than the upper, which 
are deeply divided. Petioles 4-12 brane ae: Peduncles 12-15 lines long. Bracts 3, rarely 2, subulate, oblanceolate, 
or obovate, mucronate, often dista Flowers 16 lines in diameter ; the fimbrille as long as sepals. Stipe half an 
inch in length, longer in surest than in i other of our species. Berry of the same diameter. Seeds ovate, 
mucronate, transversely rugose, smaller and more id than in P. lutea. — DeCandolle’s division of the genus, 
which would separate this species from P. lutea on account of the bract, must be erroneous ; moreover, P. lutea has 
not “perigonium s. calycem 5-lobum,” but 10-lobum, as well as our species.*
