nerves conspicuous beneath; petioles 1.5 to 4 cm. long, pubescent at tip: 
inflorescence axillary or terminal; the staminate ament linear-oblong,

Related to Dalembertia, Baillon, which differs in the single brant 
(instead of a 3-lobed calyx) at the base of the anther. Also approaching 
Tetraplandra, Baillon, and Maprounea, Aublet, but the former is distin- - 
guished by its four terminal anthers, and the latter by its short staminate 
spike and two more or less connate stamens. 
Euphorbia (Anisophyllum) puberula.! Branching from the 
base, the branches subligneous, ascending, 2.5 dm. or less high, puberu- 
lent, the tips canescent and tomentulose: leaves rhomboidal, 1 to 2 cm. 
long, 0.5 to 1 cm. broad, very oblique, glaucous beneath, blunt, crenate- 
serrate, sparingly pilose ; Stipules setaceous: cymes dense, 1 or 2 cm. 
broad, terminating the leafy branches: involucre white-pilose, turbinate- 
campanulate, 1.5 to 2 mm. long, with deltoid hairy lobes; glands 4, 
short-stipitate, with or without narrow appendages; false gland absent 
m the broad shallow sinus: capsule appressed-pilose, subacutely lobed, 
1.5 mm. long: seed pulverulent, 1 mm. long, oblong or ovoid-oblong, 
quadrangular, with somewhat broken ridges between the angles. —

to £. pilulifera, L., and £. lineata, Watson, differing from the former 'D 
its terminal cymes and blunter leaves, from the latter in its rather 
stouter habit and more rhomboidal leaves, and from both in its cinereus 
puberulence.

the specimens, and who has already pointed out (Bot. Gaz. xxv. 13) the impor
