 seg-nients lanceolate, mucronate, nerved, with strong midrib. 

 Petals about as long as the calyx, thickish, obovate, strongly 

 nerved, the nerves about 10, branched. Filaments filiform, an- 

 thers short, sagittate. Styles united nearly to the summit, stout, 

 strongly appressed-pilose, the lobes shortly and stoutly fimbri-

Turnera Whitei 



Glabrous, except for some sericeous hairs on and near the 

 buds and young flowers. Much branched, the branchlets short 

 and leafy, the internodes mostly less than a third the length of 

 their leaves, brown, angled. Basal leaf-glands not manifest. 

 Petioles very short, margined, the blades 2.5 to 5 cm. long, 1 to 

 2 cm. wide, lance-oblong, short-acuminate at both ends, acute, 

 thickish, very sharply serrulate, the teeth slightly salient, paler 

 beneath, the brownish venation coarsely and strongly anasto- 

 mosing, prominent on both sides, especially underneath. Flowers 

 solitary or racemosely 2 to 5 in the axils, the very slender pedicel 

 about as long as the flower, bearing a pair of minute linear 

 bracts about or above the middle. Calyx n or 6 mm. long, cam- 

 panulate, yellow with five greenish ribs continued into the tri- 

 angular acuminate and acute teeth, which are a third of the 

 length of the tube. Petals a half longer than the calyx, at- 

 tached above the middle of the tube, broadly spatulate. Sta- 

 mens attached near the base of the tube and about equaling it, 

 the anther ovate, wdtli cordate base and slightly inflexed acumi- 

 nate summit. Ovary conic, more than half the length of the
