SCROPHULARIACEAE OF THE LOCAL FLORA. V 



By Francis W. Pennell 

 . Concluded from November Torreya 



16. BUCHNERA L. Sp. PL 63O. I753 



Type species, B. americana L. 

 I. Buchnera Americana L. I.e. 630. 1753. "Habitat in 

 Virginia, Canada." Based, upon Gron., Fl. Virg. 74. 

 1743, typified by Clayton 142 from Virginia. Type not 

 verified, but description distinctive. 

 Flowering in July, fruiting in August and September. 

 Sandy or sterile loam soil, occasional in the Piedmont Region 

 in the southwestern extremity of our area. Delaware County, 

 Pennsylvania (Williamson School), Lancaster Co. (Pleasant 

 Grove), and in Newcastle Co., Delaware (Centreville). Ranges 

 from Pennsylvania to Florida, southern Ontario, Illinois and 

 Louisiana. 



17. SCHWALBEA L. Sp. PI. 606. I753 



Type species, S. americana L. 

 I. Schwalbea americana L. I.e. 606. 1753. "Habitat in 

 America septentrionali." Linne had in his herbarium no 

 specimen of this, so that his species is based wholly upon 

 Gron., Fl. Virg. 71. 1743, typified by Clayton 33 from 

 from Virginia. This from the description of the leaves 

 as lanceolate and the plant as quite pubescent would 

 appear to have been the species now considered. 

 Flowering from mid- June to early July, fruiting in September. 

 Sandy soil, usually rather damp, in pineland and about edges 

 of salt-marsh, in the Coastal Plain of southern New Jersey and
