narrow sinus, appressed-pubescent above, paler and somewhat pubes- 
cent beneath especially upon the veins, 2-2} inches long, two thirds 
as broad; margins finely ciliated: peduncles filiform, half to two thirds 
as long as the petioles, 1-flowered ; pedicels about 5 lines long: calyx 
segments ovate, acute, 2-3 lines long; margin strongly ciliated: 
corolla rotate, green, a little over an inch in breadth; segments 
almost linear, narrowed to an obtuse apex, inconspicuously striate, 
but not reticulated, glabrous on the outside, white-bearded within, near 
the throat: corona fuscous. — Collected in the barranca of Tepic, 
10 October, 1893 (no. 5458). 
Gono.osus Jatiscensis. Branches densely and retrorsely pubes- 
cent: leaves narrowly oblong, attenuate, abrupt or cordate at the base, 
appressed-pubescent above, tomentose beneath, 15-20 lines long, 24-5 
lines broad ; petioles pubescent, 4-5 lines in length: peduncles short, 
nodose, 9-14-flowered; pedicels 4 lines long, finely pubescent: calyx 
segments ovate-lanceolate, acutish, densely pubescent, 1} lines in 
length: segments of the corolla ovate acutish, 1} lines long, somé- 
what reflexed, pubescent on the outside, bearded on the upper surface 
with short white hairs, yellowish green, somewhat striated: crowt 
orange: upper surface of the column brown: follicle fusiform, attenu- 
ate; outer surface roughened with fine longitudinal folds minutely 
pubescent ; inner surface light yellow, smooth, and shining. — Collected 
on dry, rocky hills near Guadalajara, 21 June, 1893 (no. 4402).

is thus of interest as establishing more accurately its geographic 
position. While corresponding in essential features to the original 
characterization and plate, the specimens at hand have 8—11-flower 
peduncles, and somewhat larger leaves. The corolla turns nearly 
black in drying, and Mr. Pringle states that the fruit is distinctly 
pentangular. 
PHYSALIS LEPTOPHYLLA. Stem slightly woody below, herbaceous 
above, striate, finely pubescent, more or less strongly geniculate, and 
with spreading branches: leaves ovate, entire, sharply acuminate, 
unequal, and not attenuate at the base, very delicate in texture 
green and nearly glabrous upon both sides, 10 lines to 3} inches long; 
two thirds as broad; margins finely ciliated; petioles 4-2} inches 
long, glandular-villous: flowers very small, commonly nodding,
