■Pype specimen No, 20179 was collected Sept. 17, 1936, in the Coastal Prairie 
region of Texas, in Chambers County, about 6g miles north of High Island, This 
species is more closely related to G, filiformls Small than to the other species 
of Gaura occurring in Texas, Some points of differences are that of the pubescence 
of stem, foliage, inflorescence, and fruit, and the longer anthers. It agrees in 
some particulars with G, Nealleyi. and disagrees in others.
