98 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT OF THE SPECIES 
as the tube of the corolla; lacinie of same length, reflexed, at the obtusish apex inflexed ; styles as [506 (56)] 
long as the conic ovary, at last divaricate; lower part of the depressed somewhat glandulous capsule 
covered by the corolla, upper half free. — Brazil, near Rio, Sellow! 4.99 B. ; southern Brazil, the same! in Hb.

smallest forms of C. Palestina; of a deep red color when dry ; limb of corolla spreading but not reflexed ; fruit 
unknown. In var. 8. the pedicels are two or three times as long as the “whitish” flowers; lacinis and especially 
filaments much longer and more slender. 
tt Lobes of corolla obtuse, not incurved.

island of New Zealand, on some Apocynea, Dr. Lyall! — Perhaps too near C. racemosa, but apparently distinguished 
by the much finer capillaceous stems, the very short capulate calyx, the short, ovate, obtuse-spreading but not reflexed 
nor inflexed lobes of the corolla, — which are only about one third as long as the deeply campanulate tube, — and hy 
the solitary globose seeds of a brown-red color, with a short linear transverse hilum on the radiately marked umbili- 
cus, — Flower 13-2 lines long, dotted with yellow glands, which Dr. Hooker describes as oil-canals ; pistils the same 
as in C. racemosa; dead corolla covering and enveloping the capsule.

On he volcano of Antuco, Chili, Reynolds! 95, in Hb. Hooker. — The only specimen seen is very young, with 
only few flowers open, and a staal half-grown capsule. — Nearly allied with C. racemosa, but well distinguished by 
the large conic ovary with the thick and rudimentary but nevertheless quite unequal styles; flower 14-1} lines long, 
thick and fleshy, yellow when dry, dotted with darker glands ; whole plant furnishing a deep yellow dye.

Plentiful in the province of St. Jago de Tucuman, La Plata, Tweedie! 1191, in Hb. Hooker. — Flowers on 
short and thick pedicels, wide open, about 1} lines long; ovary large, almost filling the tube, subglobose with an 
abrupt stylopodium in the shape of a fleshy ring; stigma very small, pale yellowish ; capsule with a very small 
intrastylar aperture; seeds brown-red, 0.7 line ws with an oblong, perpendicular, or oblique hilum. Distinguished 
by the shape of the flower, the pistils, and stigmas from C. racemosa, var. Sesunad nd from C. Gronovii, with which it is 
still more closely allied, and which it seems to represent in South Ameri

C. wmbrosa, Beyrich! in sched. in part ; Hooker! Fl. Bor. Am. II. 78; Torrey! Fl. N. Y. — This, the most common 
North American species, is characterized by the loosely-paniculate, rarely from the first more compact inflorescence, 
which at last becomes densely crowded ; by the deeply campanulate tube ; the obtuse, flat, spreading but 
scarcely ever reflexed laciniz ; the large, oval, deeply fringed scales; the oval, slightly conic ovary. [508 (58)] 
Seeds 0.6-0.9 line long, obliquely oval, rarely rostrate, with an oblong-linear, usually perpendicular 
hilum. — The following varieties may be distinguished : —
