143. Scutellaria lindheimerii n sp. caule ramoso, erecto s. diffuso, piloso
foliis pubescentibus
ovatis, in petiolum abrupte attenuatis, infirmis subcordatis et mediis crenatis,
superi-
oribus subsessilibus integris; floribus in axillis foliorum solitariis, breviter
petiolatis, calycibus corollisque villosis.

On soil composed of fragments of shells, coast of Galveston island towards the bay.
May. — Many of our specimens are plants of the first year and have all
the appearance of an annual! — Stem much branched, 10 to 20 inches high.
This plant is near Sc. {Scutellaria } parvula, but it is well distinguished by being more
pilose and pubescent, but especially by the leaves not being sessile, but always
attenuated into a more or less distinct petiole; only the very lowest ones are
somewhat cordate. — We have specimens of a Scutellaria, collected in the black
soil of the praries west of the Brazos, flowering in July, which is distinguishable
from the Galveston plant only by its much smaller size, and smaller, mostly
entire leaves.
144. Scutellaria drummondii ? puberula, caule erecto ramoso, foliis omnibus
petiolatis, cordato-triangularibus, crenatis, obtusiusculis; foliis floralibus
minoribus subintegris, acutis, summis bracteriformibus; floribus axillaribus
breviter pedicellatis, corolla pubescente, nucibus tubercule.

In dry and wet places, open woods, under shrubs etc, near Houston; fl.
May to August, and again in September and October. — Stems 1 to 2 feet
high, leaves, even the upper bract-like ones, always petioled, all triangular,
sometimes 1 1/2 inch long and 1 inch broad; but mostly smaller, an inch long
and in specimens from dry sunny places sometimes only half as large;
and approaching to S. parvula (though always distinct for by the petioles)
Corolla large, 9 or 10 lines long. — Apparently intermediate between those
Scutellariae with single axillary, and those with racemose flowers; in some
specimens the upper leaves are large, more distant; in others they are
smaller and more approximated.
[I have collected the small forms also at the Hot Springs, Arkansas]

147. Dracocephalon {Dracocephalum} variegatum Vent. minutely agreeing
with Elliott's description, but
bracts smaller than calyx, corolla not pubescent, and style not hairy.
Wet praries west of the Brazos, July. Stem 2-5 feet high.

150 Teucrium laevigatum Vahl? caule erecto, s. adscendente, ramoso, glabro,
foliis basi cuneatis, in petio luni brevem attenuatis, inciso-3-multo-
partitis, laciniis oblongis, obtusis integris s.inciso-dentatis, margine non
revolutis; floribus in axillis foliorum solitariis oppositis; pedunculis
calycem acquantibus; laciniis calycis lineari-lanceolatis nucro natis,
tubo corollae multo longioribus; nucibus dorso 3 costatis.

Prairie, Galveston island, apparently very rare. Fl. April & May.
