scariose, bracts and calix broadly lanceol. sil- 
ky — Texas and Arkanzas, submulticaule 5 or 
6 tnches high, only woody at the base, no sti- 
pules, floriferous stems or peduncles 3 or 4 
inches long, scales fulvous vaginate, flowers 5 or 
6, yellow, vexillum large round longer than 
calix. 
356. Crot. (Ioc?) asarifolia Raf. Pros- 
trate puberulent, stem simple slender angular 
not winged, leaves on long petiols broadly cor- 
date obtuse entire, stipules obsolete, peduncles 
axillary short l-2flore, bracts and calix lanceo- 
late — Texas, collected by Drummond, a very 
distinct sp. by petiolate leaves, probably not a 
Iocaulon, yet flowers similar small, petals equal 
to calix, annual ? leaves remote petiols uncial, 
leaves one inch broad but shorter, pods not 
seen. 
357. Crot. (Ioc ?) alatipes Raf. smooth, 
stem angular flexuose, leaves on winged cune- 
ate petiols, oblong acnte base subcordate, reti- 
culate above, stipules lanceol. scariose striate, 
flowers racemose terminal, bracts similar to sti- 
pules equal to pedicels — South Florida, herb, 
of Collins, not named, evidently of this group, 
but not a Iocaulon ! probably a peculiar subge- 
nus ( Alatipes Raf.) calix short with a subulate 
calicule beneath, petals subequal, keel quite 
curved acute, vexillum reflexed, pod not seen. 
It must be compared with the tropical sp. 
Quite smooth all over, perennial, leaves rigid 
2 or 3 inches long, petiols uncial, some lower 
leaves smaller oboval retuse, spikes slender cur- 
ved 3 uncial, flowers small saffron yellow. 
Decandole has another from N. Amer. Crot, 
platycarpa of Link, which hardly differs from 
Cr . pilosa , and is probably var. simplex , by its
