uniflore, flowers ped uncled — in Kentucky, Ten- 
nessee and Apalachian mts. of Carolina, 2 or 3 
feet high, corol yellow, berries red. I collect- 
ed this in the glades of West Kentucky, 
286. Triosteum hispidum Raf, stem flexu- 
ose striate hispid, leaves sessile ovate spatulate 
acuminate smooth ciliolate, axils uniflore, flow- 
ers sessile, ovary hispid, calix smooth linear 
lanceolate — in the glades of West Kentucky 
with the last, but quite distinct by broader 
smooth leaves quite sessile, corol orange color. 
287. Triosteum levigatum Raf, entirely 
smooth, stem fistular, leaves sessile ovate rhom- 
boid al acute at both ends, axils 2-3flore, flowers 
sessile, berries safron color — on the Apalachian 
mts. of Georgia and Alabama, seen alive in 
gardens, quite distinct by perfect smoothness 
of stem and leaves, flowers small orange color, 
berries also or nearly safron color. 
288. Triosteum obovatum Raf, stem fistu- 
lar tomentose, leaves sessile obovate broad am- 
ple acuminate tomentose beneath, axils 2-3flore 
fl. sessile, berries red — from New York to Illi- 
nois, the most common sp. in the Western 
States, often mistaken for the Tr. majus, quite 
different from my connatum by sessile obovate 
leaves, larger than in any other, stem 3 to 4 
feet high. 
289. Phryma media Raf. subpubescent* 
leaves petiolate equally serrate, lower cordate* 
upper ovate acute, last pair sessile, bracts su- 
bulate shorter than calix — in Kentucky, annual 
and estival like all the species. Our botanists 
admit of only one, but it offers so many devia- 
tions that I have collected 3 incipient sp. 
which I add with the real type of Pkr. lepto- 
stachya.
