NOTES, 



Page 10. Gratiola neglecta, nobis : G. caule pubescente assur- 

 gcnte tereti ; foliis glabris lanccolatis pauci-dentato-serratis- 

 basi attenuatis connatisque : calycis foliolis aequalibus ; fila- 

 menta sterilia nulla. 



Root fibrous, perenial. Stem about six inches, branched 

 at the base, round ; leaves broad-lanceolate, narrowed at the 

 base and a little connate, smooth, rather obtuse. Peduncles 

 varying in length, some of them shorter, and some longer 

 than the leaves, the upper ones opposite. Calyx with obtuse 

 lanceolate segments a little more than one third the length of 

 the corolla ; bracts longer than the calyx, beset with glandu- 

 liferous hairs. Corolla with divisions rounded, the upper seg- 

 ment longer, and all of them emarginate ; limb white ; tube 

 yellow, bent obliquely, smooth ; throat hairy. Filaments 

 shorter than the tube. Stigma oblique, compressed. Cap- 

 sule ovate, acutish, and about the length of the calyx. 



This species approaches very near to G. Virginica, and 

 may be the plant which Pursli has described as such. From 

 the G. Virginica of Elliott it differs in several circumstances. 

 Particularly in having a pubescent stem, and in the ab- 

 sence of abortive stamina. It has great affinity to Grati- 

 ola sphaerocarpa. Ell.

Stems submerged. Roots, (leaves ?) capillary, diverging, 

 sparingly furnished with utriculi. Scape about a foot high, 

 seldom perfecting more than two flowers, which are large and 

 elegantly striated with red.

Roots fibrous, perennial. Culm growing in tufts, 5 to 12 

 inches high. Leaves situated mostly at the base of the culm 

 and nearly equalling it in height, narrow-linear. Umbel 

 sometimes very distinctly rayed ; the rays about three in
