sun. Amid the almost universal con¬ 
fusion of names in this family, it is diffi¬ 
cult indeed to be sure of names. Insofar 
as possible, plants listed below have 
been identified by comparison with herb- 
barium specimens named by National 
Museum botanists, or by direct identifi¬ 
cation by them of specimens.
