2. APH'tLLON, Mitchell. 



A. Ludovicl&mim, Gray, p. 313. Exclude the habitat " California," which belongs to 

 the following. 



A . Cooperi, Gray. A span to a foot high from a very thick ligneous-fleshy tuberous cau- 

 dex, puberulent, usually with some loose flowering branches : flowers pedicellate or the 

 upper sessile : calyx-lobes lanceolate, as long as the capsule : corolla violet or purple, three- 

 fourths inch long, rather deeply bilabiate ; upper lip 2-cleft, lower 3-parted ; lobes all lan- 

 ceolate and acute : anthers glabrous before dehiscence : stigma funnelform-dilated, nearly 

 orbicular. — Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 307 ; distributed by Pringle as A. Ludovicianum, var. 

 Cooperi. — Common in S. Arizona to the borders of California ; first coll. by Cooper. 



3. CONOPHOLIS, Wallr. There are two species of this genus, 

 viz. : — 



C. Americana, Wallr., p. 313, excl. reference to Endl. Iconogr. Cauline and bracteal 

 scales ovate to ovate-lanceolate, obtuse or acutish : corolla barely half-inch long. — Orobanche 

 Americana, L. Mant. (not " Suppl.") 88. Apparently also Mexican, coll. Botteri. 



C. Mexicana, Gray. Cauline (except the lowest) and bracteal scales lanceolate, mostly 

 attenuate-acute ; corolla larger. — Watson, Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 131. — C. Americana, 

 Endl. Iconogr. t. 81, but scales rather broad. — Mountains of E. New Mexico, Wright, G. R.

LENTIBULARIACE^E. 

 1. UTPwICULARIA, L. See Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 287-289. 



U. minor, L., p. 315. Add syn. : U. cjibba, LeConte, Ann. Lye. N. Y. i. 76, t. 6, f. 5, not L. 

 Xext to this, although somewhat resembling U. intermedia, comes the following. 



U. OCCidentalis, Gray. Stems and foliage of the preceding : scape a span long, 

 3-5-flowered : pedicels somewhat spreading after anthesis : corolla with rounded palate 

 (3 or 4 lines in length and breadth) a little shorter than the upper lip : spur broadly conical, 

 acutish (2 lines long), ascending. — Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 95. — Falcon Valley, Washington 

 Terr., Suksdorf. 



TJ. biflora Lam., p. 315. Add syn. . U. longirostris, LeConte, 1. c, and exclude the same 

 from U. fibrosa. 



TJ. purpurea, Walt., p. 316. The smaller-flowered plant, with corolla only 3 or 4 lines 

 wide, which proves to be the commoner form in the Atlantic Southern States, is probably 

 Walter's, with " floribus parvis." Probably it passes into the larger-flowered 



TJ. cornuta Michx., p. 317. Correct char. : stem 1-5-flowered at summit : lips of the 

 corolla half-inch long, lower with the two sides fully as broad as the ample palate : spur 

 subulate, as long as the lower lip, porrect or descending. — A common Northern as well as 

 Southern species. 



TJ. juncea Vahl. Resembles the preceding: stem racemosely or rather spicately 4-10- 

 flowered ; lower flowers more or less distant : lips of the corolla 3 or 4 lines long, the lower
