nerve reticulate, petiols and nerves hirsute, pan- 
icle formed by corymbs of short secund race- 
mes — handsome plant 1 or 2 feet high, not 
smooth as said Nuttal, but quite viscid bypedi- 
celate glands appearing rough when dry, leaves 
like Napellus, base truncate becoming acute in 
upper leaves less divided subsessile : flowers 
white on pedicels shorter than calix unilateral. 
It grows in the Unaka Mts. or Iron Mts. of 
North Carolina, a region full of new plants as 
yet. The habit when out of bloom is so like 
Aconitum napellus that it may be the doubtful 
plant of that name said to grow there likewise. 
Probably early vernal. 
904. TRIODANIS Raf. Campanulacea new 
G. or subgenus diff. from Legousia by calix 
with 3 unequal teeth, capsule with 3 unequal 
cells, — This is apparently a very material dis- 
tinction; but in one or perhaps more sp. the 
corolla is besides lacking ! or very minute with 
5 short sessile anthers, and some deem it a va- 
riation ! it is indeed a strange one amounting to 
a Generic character l and thus being perhaps 
a peloric Genus, a spontaneous late Generic for- 
mation ! the name means 3 unequal teeth > 
905. Triodanis scabra Raf, erect rough 
humble, leaves sessile oblong acute subentire, 
upper linear ; capsules axillary solitary terete 
curved crowned by 3 subulate teeth — annual, 2 
to 4 inches high, seldom with one or two 
branches, lower leaves broader subcrenate. 
Found by me 1823 in the glades near the mouth 
of the Tennessee R. and by Nuttal at Cedar 
prairies in Arkanzas ; but out of 7 specimens 
not one is in bloom, all are in seeds, probably 
very early vernal. 
906. Triodanis rupestris R. procumbent
