MONOCOTYLES. 
83 
tate, pubescent above, umbel multifiore (16) 
peduncles unequal some forked fulvous villose, 
bracts obsolete sepals unguiculate ovatoblong 
acute, berries globular — found in Collins herb, 
as Conv. umbel, certainly not the same as the 
last, distinct by leaves, scape sulcate, larger 
flowers nearly as large as in CL podanisia, ap- 
parently fulvous or nankin color, leaves 8 inches 
long. 
448. Clintonxa (Onyx) glomerata Raf. 
Leaves 3-4 similar obovate elliptical obtuse ci- 
liate, scape equal villose above, umbel multi- 
flore, bract lanceolate elongate, flowers subses- 
sile glomerate pubescent — Apalachian and 
WasiotoMts. my specimens have the flowers 
not quite unfolded with a longer bract. Only 
3 to 4 inches high, quite distinct by obtuse 
leaves and sessile hairy flowers. — Thus I have 
noticed about 20 sp. or striking var. of this 
pretty G. I had only 7 in my remarks of 1832. 
None of our Botanists know them, because rare 
vernal and alpine ,* or when seen mistaken for 
a single kind ! yet I venture to say they all ori- 
ginate from 4 or 5 original types. 
449. ETHEOSANTHES Raf. Neog. 42. 
fl. tell. 27. Near Tradescantia, difference Ca- 
lix and Corolla unequal, one petal larger con- 
cave, stamens 6 unequal curved villose, 3 longer. 
Stem ramose , flowers racemose without spa - 
thas — a fine Genus described by me as early 
as 1825, seen alive since 1820 in the gardens 
of Kentucky where received from Louisiana. 
I collected 50 specimens and have sent it to all 
my correspondents. I sometimes spelt the 
name Eothinanthes , both mean evanescent 
flowers. 
450. Etheosanthes ciliata Raf. stem erect
