LOPfiZIA (after the Spaniard Lopez, who wrote on 

 thf^ natural history of the New World). Onagrdcew. 

 About 21 species of herbs from Mexico and Central 

 America. Erect, branching, glabrous or pubescent: lvs. 

 alternate or the lower opposite, dentate: fls. usually 

 small, in leafy racemes or subcorymbose at the ends of 

 branches, slender-pedicelled; calyx limb 4-parted, in- 

 equal, deciduous, linear-lobed; petals 4, short- or long- 

 clawed, inequal, the posterior ones narrower, the claws 

 glandular at the apex; stamens 2, attached to the pistil, 

 one anther-bearing, the other petal -like: ovary 4-celled: 

 capsule globose, leathery: seeds obovoid, with a leathery, 

 granulated coat. 



albilldra, Schlecht. Fig. 1310. Sulfruticose, diffuse, 

 2 ft. high; young branches somewhat villous: lvs. cune- 

 ate at the base, ovate-lanceolate, irregularly serrate or 

 remotely dentate, largest 1% in. long: pedicels hori- 

 zontally spreading, slender: petals white, often tinged 

 slightly pinkish at base, larger ones obliquely spatiilate, 

 obtuse and mostly notched, smaller ones linear, obtuse, 

 as long as sepals. Mex. — Cult, at Harvard Botanic Gar- 

 den, where the plant differs from the original descrip- 

 tion by the lvs. being usually ovate or perhaps oblong- 

 ovate, and the smaller petals longer than the sepals. It 

 seems to flower through the winter.
