DIDYNAMIA GYMtfOSPEMIA. 
91 
somewhat liispid, supported by petioles about half an inch long. Pamela 
composed of opposite, brachiate racemes. Bracteas lanceolate, entire,* 
with a long attenuated base, apparently longer than the calyx. The Flow± 
ers I have not seen, I suspect from the composition of the panicle they 
are not large. 
Grows in Georgia between the Oakmulgee and Flint Rivers, along 
the road leading from Fort Hawkins to the Indian Agency. 
Flowers May — July.
