foliage : leaves inch to inch and a half long, with 6 to 9 filiform-linear 
segments and narrow rhachis: flowers 9 lines in length, in long rather. 
dense puberulent racemes ; lower bracts much like the leaves, the upper 
gradually reduced to small lanceolate or subulate scales ; pedicels erect, 
slender, 2 to 4 lines long: calyx fuunel-form, gradually and considerably 
ampliated, with broad orifice oblique, scarcely split ventrally and not at 
all dorsally, about half inch in length, golden yellow: corolla concolorous, 
about 9 lines in length, puberulent upon the considerably exserted galea: 
capsule ovate-oblong, acutish, 3 lines in length.— Collected by C. G. 
Pringle, on wet bluffs of barrancas above Cuernavaca, State of Morelos, 
altitude 7,000 feet, 19 November, 1895, no. 6204. Nearly related to C. 
tenuifolia, Mart. & Gal., and C. gracilis, Benth., but distinguished from 
the former by its yellow flowers, more dense and continuous inflorescence, 
narrower acuter capsule, and smaller seeds; from the latter by the color 
of the flowers and much more exserted galea, denser racemes, ete. 
Carlowrightia glandulosa. Low much branched shrub, 1 to 3 
feet in height, densely glandular-tomentose and viscid: cortex of the older 
branches pale gray: leaves ovate, acute, entire, cordate, soft-pubescent 
upon both surfaces, the larger ones 12 to 15 lines in length, three fourths 
as broad, the floral ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, half inch in length, 
somewhat acute at the base: petioles nearly or quite half the length of 
the leaf: flowers 1 to 4 in the opposite axils, closely sessile: calyx-tube 
very shorf, divisions narrowly linear-attenuate, 3 lines in length, glandu- 
lar-pubescent: corolla bluish, 4-parted; the emarginate posterior lobe 
purple-veined and marked with yellow at the centre; tube 2 lines longs 
lobes 4 to 5 lines in length: capsule glabrous and lucid, three fourths 
inch long, with pungent tip, seeds orbicular, dark brown with lighter 
colored margin, 24 lines in diameter. —Collected by C. G. Pringle at 
Monte Alban, near Oaxaca, altitude 5,500 feet, 5 December, 1895, n0- 
6276. This species is nearest C. pubens, Gray, but differs from it most 
obviously in its cordate and considerably larger lower leaves, as well as 
larger flowers and seeds. 
Carlowrightia (?) Pringlei. Shrub, 3 to 5 feet high, with slender 
glabrous terete stems covered with smooth grayish brown cortex : leaves 
ovate-lanceolate, acute, entire, rounded at the base, glabrous on both 
surfaces or minutely strigillose on the veins beneath, 8 to 12 lines long, @ 
third as broad ; petioles a fourth inch long, glabrous but often with a tuft 
of white hairs at the base within: floriferous branches slender, recurved : 
flowers sessile, secund, solitary or 2 together in the same axil, the opp 
site axil being empty: bracts small, subulate: calyx-tube very short ;
