1885. 
Perennial from a stout woody tap-root, glandular a 
branched from the caudex, 1-3 dm. high; leave es I-3 cm. long, on 
petioles of the same length, oblong to ovate-cordate, pd ut 
SN muricate; peduncles erect, 2-3 cm. long, in fruit curved, 3-5 
m. long, generally as long as or longer than the subtending leaves ; 
aly pubescent with short hairs; lobes lanceolate, shorter than 
the tube; corolla hairy on the outside, greenish yellow with 
brownish. throat; fruiting calyx rounded ovoid, distinctly 16- 
angled, reticulate, puberulent, not sunken at the base. 
C. C. Parry’s plant, which is the only one collected within the 
United States, differs from the typical specimens, in the shorter 
peduncles, the ovate more crenate leaves, and more glandular 
pubescence. It is, perhaps, distinct, but sufficient material is lack- 
ing. P. muriculata is very nearly related to P. Greenet, from which 
it differs principally in being a perennial. It connects the peren- 
nial Heterophyllae group with the annual Leptophyllae.

VIL Stellatae. Perennials from a slender (except in Z. Fendleri) creeping root- 
stock; pubescence more or less stellate, at least on the margin of the calyx; 
fruiting calyx only Miu angled and seldom sunken at the base; lobes con- 
nivent. All the species grow in sandy soil and most of them near the coast. 
They intergrade more or less.
