P. Pennsylvanica Gray, Hall's Pl. no. 501. 
Perennial from a slender rootstock, %-1 m. high; stem ob- 
scurely angled; leaves thick, generally broadly ovate, acute at 
both ends and somewhat rho mboid, the lower often obtuse and 
obovate, generally much larger than in the preceding ; blade 5-10 
cm. long, entire or seldom sinuate, on petioles, 2-3 cm. long stri- 
gose with many-branched hairs, especially so on the lower sur- 
face; peduncles 1-2 cm. long, in fruit reflexed and 3-5 cm. long; 
calyx densely hirsute, not stellate, lobes triangular, generally a 
little shorter than the tube; corolla yellow with brown center, 
137-2 cm. in diameter; fruiting calyx generally more elongated 
than in the preceding, 4-5 cm. long, oblong-ovoid, a little sunken 
at the base, indistinctly 10-angle 
P. pumila is related to the preceding species and may be but 
a variety thereof, but as the stouter habit, the larger and more 
acute leaves, the longer and denser pubescence of the stem and 
the forked pubescence of the leaves are characters that nearly al- 
ways go together, I have given it, doubtfully, a specific rank. 
Seeing only the broad-leaved forms, nobody would hesitate to do 
so, but the narrower leaved forms, as for instance the type speci- 
mens of Nuttall, can scarcely be distinguished from. the broad- 
leaved ones of P. lanceolata, except by the forked pubescence. 
This character distinguishes also the more luxuriant forms with 
*Some with a few branched hairs.
