dentatis, inferioribus oblongo-lanceolatis petiolatis; floribus 
4-meris 8-andris ; bracteis oblongis ovario longioribus e basi 
brevi persistente caducis; rachi ideoque squarroso-dentata ; 
tubo calycis ovario longioribus segmentis brevioribus; nuce 
sessili alato-tetraquetra ovato-pyramidata glabra, faciebus con- 
cavis unicostatis levigatis aut basi parce subtuberculatis. — 
Cedar woods, in sandy and rocky soil, New Braunfels. May, 
June, in flower and fruit. — Plant, with much the aspect of 
G. Drummondii ; but the leaves smoother, less toothed, and 
* longer petioled than any other ;” the stem villous or hirsute 
below with long spreading hairs, while the rachis, calyx, 
bracts, &c. are perfectly glabrous. The petals appear to be 
paler than those of G. Drummondii, and the fruits are closely 
sessile, without any narrowed base or stipe. It is much 
more closely related to the Gaura tripetala, Cav.; judging 
from Spach’s description, and from Texan specimens with 
triquetrous fruit and trimerous flowers, gathered by Mr. 
Wright, which agree well with the character.!
