 as the peduncles, glabrous; leaflets 5 to s . broadly cuneate, 6 t<> li' nun. broad above, 

 deeply 2-notched or slightly lobed, the lobes broad and obtuse; flowers' - pedi-

Ionoxalis latifolia II. B. K. Rose. 



Oxalis latifoliaK. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5:237. pi 467. 1823. 



This species as heretofore undersl 1 has had a wide range extending, according to 



some authorities, from the southern United State- through Mexico and Central 

 America to South America, and from Campeche on the coast to high upon Mount 

 ( Irizaba. 



The only specimens 1 have seen which at all seem to answer Humboldt's ill 

 tion are those collected by DoctorGaumer no. 585 and by Doctor Schotl 

 and 918), in both case- in Yucatan, therefore from near the type locality. 



As I understand this species it is characterized by broadly cuneate leaflets which 

 arc rather strongly nerved, small flowers, small, broad, obtuse sepals, hairy stamens, 

 and a stipitate ovary. 



Ionoxalis lasiandra (Zucc.) Rose. 



Oxalis lasiandra Zucc. Abh. Akad. Muench. 2: 353. 1834. 



A condensed description is as follows: Leaflets 7 t" '.', 7."> cm. long, 2.5 cm. broad, 

 rounded at apex: sepals with glandular hairs outside; petals large, crimson; fila- 

 ments glandular-pubescent. This Bpecies is now grown in the open grounds of the 

 Washington Botanical Garden, having come from Edinburgh, the original source of 

 the Graham material. Mr. George Oliver tells me that it is very common in the 

 grounds of the Botanical Garden of Edinburgh, Bometimes becoming a weed. 



Oxalis lasiandra Zucc. and 0. lasiandra Graham have Keen heretofore considered 

 distinct Bpecies, Graham's name being the one in general use. After a careful 

 pari-<>n of the original descriptions I am led to believe that the name as used by 

 both authorities refers to the same species. Zuccarini described his plant about 

 1834 ?), having grown it from bulbs sent by Karwinski from Mexico to the botanical 

 garden at Munich. The Bpecies being such an attractive one would naturally be dis- 

 tributed. In L840< rraham received specimens from Berlin under the manuscript name 

 of 0. lasiandra, which name he nse<l in 1 842 when he figured ami described it in the 

 Botanical Magazine. Zuccarini should therefore be cited as the authority for this name. 



The Keu Imlex reference of Graham's plant to O.floribunda Lehm., a Brazilian 

 Bpecies, must he incorrect. 



Ionoxalis lunulata Zucc. I 



Oxalis lunulata Zucc. Abh. Math. Thy-. < lasse 1:200. L8 



In the Bernhardi Herbarium, now in the Missouri Botanical Garden, is what 

 appear - - to lie a part of the type of ' >. lunulata. It seems t<> answer that Bpecies in 

 every particular, character of hull) scale-, size, number, and shape of leaflets, num- 

 ber and color >'i flowers, etc. The label gives the locality " Mexico."
