320 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY. 
armed with a few small scattered prickles: leaves orbicular, deeply 
cordate, shortly acuminate, entire, 2-4 inches in diameter, glabrous 
at maturity, somewhat paler beneath ; petioles 14-2} inches in length: 
peduncles very long, becoming nearly a foot in length, each bearing a 
regular rather closely 6 to 12-flowered cyme: pedicels thickened up- 
ward and becoming deflexed in fruit, 3-8 lines long: sepals smooth, 
ovate-oblong, obtuse, apiculate, in anthesis but 2} lines in length, 
becoming enlarged in fruit: corolla funnel-shaped, 1? inches long ; the 
tube and throat rather slender, white ; the limb bright blue (purple in 
dried specimen), 14 inches in diameter: fruit globose, apiculate. — 
Collected on hills about Tequila, 15 October, 1893 (no, 4531). 
Distinguished by its strikingly long-peduncled inflorescences and 
markedly bicolorous corolla. 
Evo.vu.us Prostratus. Perennial: root perpendicular with 
horizontal branches: proper stem very short; branches 4 to 8, pros 
trate, simple, 4—6 inches in length, silky-villous: leaves imbricated in 
two rows and somewhat reflexed, suborbicular, rounded at the apex, 
rounded or subcordate at the base, 4-5 lines in diameter, subsessile, 
glabrous above, silky-villous beneath: buds and fruit entirely con- 
cealed beneath the leaves: flowers raised between them; peduncles 
14 lines in length, equalling the calyx, both villous: corolla white, - 
lines in diameter: capsule 2—3-seeded ; seeds dull brown. -— First col- 
lected by Dr. Thomas Coulter in Mexico without exact locality (no. 
1011); then by Bourgeau in the Valley of Mexico at Santa Fé, 5 July; 
1865-6. (no. 323), wrongly referred to E. holosericeus, HBK. Col- 
lected by Mr. Pringle on dry thin soil of hills near Guadalajara, 26 
July, 1893 (no. 4445). In vegetative habit this species strongly sug- 
gests Lysimachia nummularia. . 
Bassovia Donnecu-Suituu, Coulter (Bot. Gaz. xvi. 145). Mr. 
Pringle has rediscovered this Guatemalan plant in the barranca of 
Beltran, 6 June, 1893 (no. 4378). The range is thus considerably 
extended. His specimens and field notes show that the stem is about 
10 feet high, twice regularly dichotomously branched. The calyx '8 
somewhat accrescent, and the fruit is globular, orange-red, many” 
seeded, and about 5 lines in diameter. ; 
PINGUICULA PARVIFOLIA. Base a small loose bulb, 4 lines 
diameter, provided with a number of fine fibrous roots: leaves 3 " 
5, elliptic-oblong, at the time of flowering not exceeding 3 lines 
length and 1} lines in breadth; petioles margined and becoming broad 
and somewhat scarious below: scape single, strict or slightly curved, 
very minutely glandular near the summit: the five segments of the
