THE SESSILE-FLOWERED SPECIES OF PAROSELA IN MEXICO. 



In a former paper in thi- series the reasons ate given for taking 

 up the name Parosela instead of Dalea, ami a nearly completed li-t 

 is supplied of the Mexican species with pediceled flowers. Below will 

 he found the remaining species, so far a- studied, arranged in the 

 order in which 1 have classified them in my preliminary treatment. 

 Further work in thi- genus may change this arrangement somewhat. 

 There are perhaps still two dozen or even more species in Dalea not 

 included in these Lists, hut since these arc species not yet studied or 

 whose exact status is not known it seems best m>t to consider them 

 now. These will be reported upon in another paper after more study 

 and further exploration in Mexico. Besides these, a considerable 

 number of new species already indicated, but not yet ail described, 

 will he presented at another time. Name- which have been previ- 

 ously published under Parosela are given without synonymy.
