hardly viscose pubescent entire obtuse, flowers 
axillary subsessiie, calix hispid striate, petals 
white cimeate smalt — in the Alleghanies of 
Pennsylvania, only found once in 1833, north 
of Carlile, annual, semipedal, quite distinct from 
C . viscosissima having many purple flowers, 
stem much branched and clammy, leaves nar- 
rower lanceolate <$*c. 
269. Gomandra obovata Raf. stem ramose 
angular striate, leaves oboval subobtuse, um- 
fbellules 3-5iowered, pedicels equal to flowers, 
bracts obovate equal to pedicels— mts. AUegha- 
nies pedal. The Thesium umhellatum of L. 
has been well described as a N. G. Gomandra 
by Nuttal, but he neglected the species thereof, 
and so have done all our botanists, there are 
now 7 or 8 sp. of this G. and I will distinguish 
5 sp. of it, all blended by our careless Authors. 
All have white estival flowers. 
276. Gomandra elliptic a Raf. stem angu- 
lar hardly branched, leaves broad oblong ellip- 
tic acute, umbellules sub 5fiowered, pedicels 
shorter, bracts lanceolate equal to pedicels — - 
common, pedal, estival, probably the C. um~ 
bellulata of Nuttal and most of our Botanists. 
271. Gomandra obtusifolia Raf. stem an- 
gular branched above, leaves imbricate narrow 
oblong obtuse, umbellules 3-5fi. pedicels very 
short or wanting, bracts subulate — Ohio to 
Illinois, semipedal, 
272. Gomandra media Raf. stem terete stri- 
ate ramose, leaves broad oblong acute, umbel!- 
ules l-3fiore, pedicels equal, no bracts — in New 
Jersey and Virginia, pedal. 
273. Gomandra cuneifolia Raf. stem slen- 
der subangular, leaves lax cuneate nearly acute 
umbellules 3-5flore, pedicels very short, bracts
