. P. Reemeriana, Scheele in Linnea, 21, p. 463.) New Braun- 
fels; sparsely on rocky prairies. May, June. “Flower 
entirely blue." — 'The caudex or root often bears a globular 
tuber, as in P. esculenta, &c. The spikes become oblong or 
cylindrical, and looser in fruit; the bracts are ovate-oblong or 
obovate, and abruptly cuspidate-acuminate ; the calyx is some-: 
what gibbous, and its lower lobe soon elongated; points in 
which the species is not quite correctly described in the Flora. 
The legume is utricular, membranaceous and fragile. `
