312 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY. 
in 5 distinct areas with numerous dark purple spots, internally at the 
base densely pubescent; lobes obtusish: filaments about equal, glabrous; 
anthers purplish: calyx in fruit oblong-ovate, about 3 em. long, definitely 
5-angled, with intermediate ribs: berry about 1 cm. in diameter, gla- 
brous. — Collected by C. G. Pringle on the Sierra de Clavellinas, State 
of Oaxaca, altitude 2,700 m., 18 October, 1894, no. 6001, distributed as 
“ P. foetens, Poir.”; also on the Sierra de Ajusco, Federal District, alti- 
tude 2,600 m., 2 October, 1895, no. 6216, distributed as “ P. glutinosa, 
Schlecht.” P. Pringlet is evidently allied to P. foetens, but is quite 
different in the much less dentate-lobed leaves, larger flowers, longer 
calyx, and in the marking of the corolla. From P. glutinosa on the 
other hand P. Pringlet differs in the leaves being contracted and attenu- 
ate at the base into a petiole, not cordate. 
Lamourouxia Conzattii. Herbaceous, probably perennial; stems 
and branches dark red or purplish, minutely puberulent in decussating 
lines: leaves undivided, spreading or somewhat reflexed, 1-3-nerved, linear 
to linear-lanceolate, 1 to 2.5 em. long, 1 to 4 mm. broad, acute, serrulate, 
slightly narrowed into a subpetiolate base, glabrous upon both surfaces, 
margins more or less revolute: inflorescence in terminal usually one- 
sided racemes; pedicels 0.5 to 1 em. in length, minutely puberulent: 
flowers large, 5 to 6 cm. long, scarlet, dark red or reddish-yellow; calyx 
rather prominently 4-ribbed with intermediate less prominent ribs, puber- 
ulent to nearly glabrous, lobes more or less unequal, lanceolate, 4 to 9 
mm. long, equalling or exceeding the tube, obtusish, entire: corolla 
externally pubescent, rather deeply bilabiate; tube below narrow, ampli- 
ated just above the base but not conspicuously ventricose ; lower 3-lobed 
lip about 1.5 cm. long, only slightly spreading: perfect stamens 2, 
shorter than and included under the galea; anthers calcarate at the base, 
villous-pubescent ; the posterior pair of stamens much shorter and bear- 
“ing reduced villous anthers: style exceeding the anthers in length, pu- 
bescent; capsule ovate, narrowed above, glabrous. — Collected by V. 
Gonzalez and C. Conzatti on the Cerro de Papalo, camino de Cheve, 
Cuicatlan, Oaxaca, altitude 2,500 m., 16-22 June, 1898, no. 760, and 
by C. Conzatti on the Cerro de Yalina, District of Villa Alta, Oaxaca, 
altitude 1,500 m., June, 1899, no. 965. The author takes pleasure 17 
dedicating this beautiful species to Sefior Prof. C. Conzatti, whose ener- 
getic efforts have contributed much to our knowledge of the flora of 
Southern Mexico. As the species of this genus are treated in Am. Jour. 
Sci. 1. 169, Z. Conzattii would stand near L. tenuifolia, Mart. & Gal., 
but it is readily distinguished by the larger, longer, and more deeply 
_ colored flowers.
