Webera Lachenaudi Card & Ther. n. sp. Plate IX. 
A new Webera has been collected recently in our locality, Webera 
Lachenaudi Card. & Ther., named after M. Georges Lachenaud, of 
Limoges, France. The following are M. Cardot’s notes on it. (Translated.) 
“ Webera Lachenaudi C. & T. (species nova), near to Webera lutescens 
Limpr. It differs in its larger stems, its strongly dentate leaves, its more 
chlorophyllose tissue and its capsule more urceolate (not pyriform).” 
It is found on wet sand and clay banks in the woods south of the north 
bay of Lake Union. Fruit and male inflorescence shown in the illustration.
