NEOBOT. 
the sea shore of Florida collected by Dr. Bald- 
win, the good specimen in Colh herb, has ena- 
bled me to fix this Genus and sp. very different 
from that of S, America. Stem erect terete, 
leaves uncial commonly longer than internodes, 
heads of flowers quite small depressed pauci- 
flore, flowers white seariose, two segments of 
the inner calix larger elliptic making the flow- 
ers appear compressed, fruit discoidal flat len- 
ticular, perhaps bivalve when ripe. I must add 
the linnean sp. for contrast, 
846. Bltjtaparon repens Raf. Illec, vermic. 
L. and of S. Amer. smooth creeping, leaves 
sessile linear carnose semiterete, heads of flow- 
ers oblong — Brazil, Guyana, Curazao, pedal, 
leaves like hyssop sometimes verticillate by 4. 
Thus I was right when in the first volume 
article Achyranlhes , I stated that the plants 
akin thereto were in utter confusion: our botan- 
ists seldom verifying the Genera of their sp. 
We have yet the G, Oploteea, with my Xeran- 
dra, see fl. tel. 562, some real Celosias, and 
Gomphrena naturalized, and my Adoketon see 
first part, to which add that the 111 ece brum al- 
sinefolium of Scopoli is another sp. different 
from my Ad. saxatile. 
847. Corispermum pi lose m Raf. pilose, stem 
angular, leaves alternate linear elongate uni- 
nerve, flowers in axillary glomerules ovate, se- 
pals seariose pilose ovate acuminate trinerve. 
— Found by Kin in Florida, realy of this G. 
hitherto not known as American, whole plant 
fulvous in the specimen and with scattered 
hairs, leaves 1 or 2 inches long narrow, glome- 
rules subovate, crowded and capitate at the top 
flowers imbricate glumaceous squarrose, 2 se- 
pals equal large, enclosing 1 single stamen fili-
