of corolla oblong obtuse, capsule almost like Ve* 
ronica, but semi adherent, 2locular, polysperrae, 
seeds reniform. Probably a subgenus, Etoro- 
Its Raf. meaning eared heart . 
999. Houstonia geniculata Raf. stem geni- 
culate 4gone assurgent, leaves subfascieulate 
lanceolate acute, margin rough ; flowers axilary 
solitary, corolla tube filiform, limb campanulate 
4fid — on the Wasioto hills of Kentucky, annual 
semipedal, leaves uncial pale beneath, flowers 
purple, calix linear, tube of corolla double of ca- 
lix. Another subgenus by peculiar corolla, I 
will call it Goniotis, I have not seen the cap- 
sule. 
1000. Houstonia reticulata Raf. stem gen- 
iculate 4gone erect, radical leaves petiolate 
obovate, on stem larger ovate acute trinerve, 
veins reticulate, margin rough, flowers terminal 
few corymbose, peduncles l-3flore, capsule glo- 
bose — Alabama, annual 3 to 4 inches high, akin 
to H. purpurea , but radical leaves different and 
smaller, on stem often uncial, calix adherent 
with two thirds of ovary, segments linear.— A 
var, trijlora has only 3 flowers, souie leaves 
oblong mixt, either obtuse or acute. 
For other sp. of Houstonias see my mono- 
graph of 1820, it must form several subg. or 
even Genera. I have all our sp. JET. serpylifo- 
lia , patens , rupestris , tenuifolia , longifolia , 
angustif. heterophylaj puhescens , purpurea , 
varians fyc and I may give another monograph 
of all the Samolides,of Samolus itself I gave one 
in my herbarium Rafinesquianum. 
I must now conclude this Flora, although I 
have left many families untouched in which I 
possess many novelties ; particularly in Gratio- 
lides, Acanthides, Personates, Scrophularia,
