obtuse, entire, glabrous above, usually pubescent along the midrib and 
lateral veins beneath: inflorescence terminating the stem and branches 
in leafy-bracted racemose cymes: flowers 1 to 3 in the axils of the 
bracts: calyx 5-parted to below the middle; tube glabrous ; lobes lance- 
attenuate, 4 to 5 mm. long, ciliate, otherwise glabrous: corolla scarlet, 
subcylindrical, 3 to 3.5 cm. long, 2-lipped to about one third its length, 
pubescent on the outer surface: ovary glabrous. —Merxico. State of

The specimens collected by Mr. L. C. Smith, in the Gray Herbarium, _ 
were referred to Anisacanthus virgularis, Nees, from which species, 
however, A. Gonzalezii differs in having the pubescence of the stem 
scattered over the entire surface instead of restricted to definite lines, 
usually broader leaves which are pubescent along the midrib beneath 
instead of glabrous, and finally by having a glabrous instead of usually 
glandular calyx. 
Dicliptera inequalis. Stem hirsute-pubescent, with glandular hairs 
intermixed especially throughout the inflorescence: leaves petiolate, 
ovate, 3 to 8 cm. long, 1 to 5 cm. broad, acuminate, acute, entire, nar- 
rowed at the base into the 0.5 to 2 cm. long petiole, hirsute-pubescent 
on both surfaces, somewhat paler beneath: inflorescence an elongated 
racemose-paniculate cyme: the flowers in small heads or floral clusters, 
terminating the primary and secondary branches and either subsessile 
or on peduncles 3 em. or less in length: outer bracts of the involucre, 
unequal, lanceolate, acute; the inner bracts linear-lanceolate, acute, 
exceeding the 5-parted calyx: divisions of the calyx lanceolate, acute, 
about 3 mm. long, longer than the tube: corolla 12 to 20 mm. long, 
purplish or dark red; tube about twice exceeding the lip: fruit not 
seen.— Mexico. State of Morelos: at Cuantla, near Cuernavaca, 
altitude 1250 m., 30 May, 1901, O. G. Pringle, no. 9665 (hb. Gr.). 
Dicliptera nervata. Stem and branches obscurely hexagonal, spar- 
ingly pubescent: leaves ovate, including the petiole 3 to 6 cm. long, 1 
to 2.5 em. broad, short-acuminate, obtuse or acute, entire, narrowed at 
the base into a rather short petiole, sparingly pubescent on both sur- 
faces: inflorescence in densely crowded axillary verticillasters : involucre 
1-flowered; the two outer bracts of the involucre obovate to obovate- 
rotund, about 1 cm. long and two-thirds to equally broad, retuse and not 
unfrequently apiculate, entire, ciliate, pubescent with a few scattered 
on the outer surface, glabrous on the inner surface, rather con-
