NEW APOCTNUMS. 57 



pair either horizontally extending or nearly or quite erect, never 

 deflexed. 



The type specimens are from the vicinity of Southington, 

 Connecticut, and were collected in July and August, 1903, by 

 Mr. L. Andrews. The species has the habit of A. androsaemi- 

 foliutn, the inflorescence, however, not of that but of A. medium, 

 while its flowers are larger than those of the former, even. 

 The foliage is remarkably elongated, and the pods are, as in no 

 other known species, horizontal or suberect, the members of each 

 pair diverging at an angle of nearly or quite forty-five degrees. 



A plant common in Wisconsin and Minnesota, with erect 

 pods, and less elongated foliage, is provisionally referred to the 

 present species. 



A. AiTDREWSii. Smaller than the preceding, 1 to IJ feet 

 high ; herbage light-green ; leaves elliptic-lanceolate, 3 inches 

 long, I inch broad, subsessile, acutely mucronate, glabrous on 

 both faces, those of the spreading branches smaller : cymes small 

 and few flowered at the ends of all the branches : sepals lance- 

 ovate: corolla small campanulate, flesh-color: follicles not seen. 



This also is from about Southington, Conn., by Mr. Andrews, 

 copiously collected in flower in August, 1902, and July, 1903 

 by the collector taken to be vi. medhnn, Greene, from which its 

 long narrow foliage completely distinguishes it. The plant has, 

 by this character, much likeness to the A. cannabinum group, 

 though in mode of growth, position of branches, and character 

 of flowers, it is wholly of the A. androscBmifolium alliance. 



A. CALOPHTLLUM. A foot high, stout, parted from near the 

 base into several densely leafy spreading branches ending in a 

 panicle of 3 or more stout-peduncled densely-flowered compound 

 cymes : leaves firm, the lowest round-ovate or oval, 1 inch long 

 or more and retuse, the others W inches or more and ovate, very 

 obtuse, all saliently mucronate, glabrous, very glaucous and pale 

 beneath, above of the darkest green' but the veins and veinlets 

 white ; sepals ovate-lanceolate, short ; corolla large, deep flesh- 

 color, narrowly campanulate, deeply cleft, the segments ovate- 

 oblong, very obtuse, somewhat spreading: follicles stout, 3 

 inches long.
