flowers very large glaucous, segments of corolla 
patent ovate obtuse deemed a Calotropis by 
Collins, but a real Anantherix and by no means 
a Stylandra N. or Podostima E. To the same 
Genus appears to belong Asclepias connivens of 
Baldw. Elliot &c which is very akin to this in 
leaves and flowers, but has stem terete and 
leaves opposite narrower, white ringed warts on 
the ster£, I’ll call it Anantherix verrucosa : 
my specimens are from Alabama. A. viridis 
N. differs by leaves narrower thick pubescent, 
umbels lateral suhsessile & c.

oskorides for an Apocynum. A cerates was bad 
derived from Acer and Aceras. This G. will 
be easily known by the sessile scattered leaves, 
the erect umbels and 5 small shining tips upon 
the stamina! apparatus, auricles ad pressed with- 
out appendages.

—Pubescent, leaves linear lanceolate elongate 
trinerve, umbels peduncled multiflore, auricles 
shorter than stamens— Carolina to Florida and 
Arkanzas, leaves 2 to 6 inches long, flowers, tri- 
color, centre yellow, corolla white, tip purple. 
The structure of the central apparatus is very 
peculiar, the little lucid tips almost concealed 
in the wings.— Yar. Hirsutum , several umbels 
with great many flowers 50 to 60 , pedicels long 
hirsute...

leaves narrow linear acute uninerve, margin 
revolute, rugose ; umbels sessile multiflore, au- 
ricles as long as stamens.— A very distinct sp»
