qual, stamens 4 unequal, anthers villose. Leaves 
opposite serrate , flowers purple — to complete 
the compared account of all the Gerardias I 
add this Genus, with some others not seen by 
me, and very little known, which must be des- 
cribed better hereafter. This appears medial 
between Aureolaria and Dasistema , but the 
calix and purple corollas differ from both.

petiolate, flowers racemose bracteate. — Origon 
Mts. only seen dry by Pursh and Torrey.

Pursh 4* c perennial, branches erect, leaves 
cuneate unequaly serrate, upper alternate, pe- 
duncles axillary longer than leaves or bracts — 
Florida, disc, by Bart ram but not his fiammea, 
of doubtful Genus not even seen by Elliot. Ca- 
lix 5parted and purple flowers.

flexed flat emarginate, lower trilobe. Stam 4 
didyn. style and stigma simple, capsule as in 
Aureolaria. Leaves oppos. sessile , flowers ra- 
cemose white — This G. of mine 1817 is akin to 
all the above, but distinct by the calix bilabiate, 
white corolla 4* c.

Stem weak decumbent 4gone ramose, leaves 
sessile ovatoblong serrulate smooth, axils biau- 
riculate, flowers racemose on long peduncles, 
segments of calix striate — in West Louisiana 
and Texas probably, disc, by Robin, many 
weak stems pedal, white smooth flowers, cap- 
sule oval polysperm. This may be the white 
flowered Ger. auriculaia of Louisiana hinted 
at by some botanists.
