By Francis W. PENNELL 
Concluded from November TORREYA 
16. BuCHNERA L. Sp. Pl. 630. 1753 
Type species, B. americana L. 
I. BUCHNERA AMERICANA L. Lc. 630. 1753. “Habitat in 
Virginia, Canada.” Based upon Gron., Fl. Virg. 74. 
1743, typified by Clayton 142 from Virginia. Type not 
verified, but description distinctive. 
Flowering in July, fruiting in August and September. 
Sandy or sterile loam soil, occasional in the Piedmont Region 
in the southwestera extremity of our area. Delaware County, 
Pennsylvania (Williamson School), Lancaster Co. (Pleasant 
Grove), and in Newcastle Co., Delaware (Centreville). Ranges 
from Pennsylvania to Florida, southern Ontario, Illinois and 
Louisiana. 
17. SCHWALBEA L. Sp. Pl. 606. 1753. 
Type species, S. americana L. : 
I. SCHWALBEA AMERICANA L. l.c. 606. 1753. ‘‘Habitat in 
America septentrionali.” Linné had in his herbarium no 
specimen of this, so that his species is based wholly upon 
Gron., Fl. Virg. 71. 1743, typified by Clayton 33 from 
from Virginia. This from the description of the leaves 
as lanceolate and the plant as quite pubescent would 
appear to have been the species now considered. 
Flowering from mid-June to early July, fruiting in September. 
Sandy soil, usually rather damp, in pineland and about edges 
of salt-marsh, in the Coastal Plain of southern New Jersey and
