Blake — Revision of Polygala 65 
deest. — Banamas: New Providence: sandy loam, pine region, 
about 13.5 km. 8S. W. of Nassau, 12 Apr. 1905, A. E. Wight 272 
(rypE: G); Andros: Red Bays, 15 Apr. 1890, J. I. & A. R. North- 
rop 465 (GK). 
82. P. cusensis Chod. Very slender annual, slightly branched 
above, 4.5 dm. high, from a slender vertical root. Stem an 
branches terete, glabrous like the inflorescence, the branches in 
youth sparsely incurved-pubescent. Leaves linear or linear-lanceo- 
late, obtuse, mucronate, at base acuminate, slightly revolute, with 
about 3 pairs of faint lateral nerves, green and glabrous both sides 
(when young slightly incurved-puberulous), 1.4-2.5 em. long, 1-3.5 
mm. wide, on glabrous or sparsely incurved-puberulous petioles 1 
mm. long. Racemes laxly flowered, 6-12 em. long. Sepals her- 
baceous, with narrow pale margin, usually bearing 3-4 pairs of 
pedicelled glands, 1.1-1.3 mm. long. Wings obovate-oval, rather 
abruptly short-clawed, truncate-rounded at apex, purplish-tinged, 
glabrous, not venose (at least when young), 3.5 mm. long, 2 mm. 
wide. Keel with short flabelliform crenulate lateral lobes, 4 mm. 
long. Upper petals purple, obovate. Capsule oval-oblong, glab- 
rous, 4.4 mm. long, 2 mm. wide. Seed short-silky-pilose, 2.6 mm. 
long. Aril crustaceous, sparsely pilose on the sides, 0.8 mm. long, 
shaped like those of others in this section. — Chod.! Monog. ii. 62. 
t. 15. f. 36 (1893). — Cua: 1860-64, Wright 112 p. p. (TYPE COLL.: 
BG). — Chodat describes the sepals in his types as ciliate but not 
glandular. In the specimens above described, which were distri- 
buted under the same number and agree in other features with his 
description, they are glandular-ciliate. Without much more ma- 
terial of this group than is at present available a satisfactory under- 
standing of its species can scarcely be attained. 
83. P. Wricutm Chod. Erect perennial, branched from near 
the base, the stems or branches about 4, erect, 3 dm. high, densely 
griseous-pubescent with incurved hairs. Leaves linear, acuminate 
at each end, mucronulate, slightly revolute, 1 1-nerved, the lateral 
veins very obscure, glabrous above except for a few hairs near the 
margin, subsparsely incurved-puberulous beneath, 2-3.3 cm. long, 
1.5-2 mm. wide, on incurved-puberulous petioles 1 mm. or less 
long. Racemes at length loosely flowered and 10-13 cm. long. 
Flowers mauve-purple. Sepals rather densely ciliate with eglandu- 
lar hairs, ovate, acute, the two lower united for 3/4 their length,
