Stem leafy, about 5 dm. high, with several to many erect branches : leaves rather firm, distinctly ribbed, finely pubescent ; the lower petioled and with half clasping bases : basal leaves entire, very narrowly linear-oblanceolate ; middle stem-leaves erect, fully i dm. long, parted into 3—5 linear divisions : upper stem-leaves linear, entire : heads corymbose : involucre somewhat tomentose,...
Page 288 - This species is common on grassy hillocks at the Presidio, San Francisco, from which there are specimens in the herbarium of the California Academy of Sciences, collected by Dr. EL Greene, Mrs. Brandegee, and Miss Evelina Cannon ; also one from Bodega Port collected by the writer.
Page 564 - ... its divisions acute; petals acuminate; filaments 6, subulate; anthers rounded; style as long as the stamens; stigma trifid. Drupe globose, the fleshy farinaceous pulp rather tasteless, though edible: nut hard, of the size of a musket ball, unilocular, black, furrowed with a large number of greyish grooves, of which three are always much larger than the others; the kernel is white, very sweet, and very good to eat. Aiphanes grows in the ravines and forests of the high mountains of the district...
Page 462 - Mountain, at an altitude of 1220 ft. (no. 2 1 5). This is probably the southernmost known station for this species east of the Mississippi, the Florida plants being now referred to another species. ISOETES ENGELMANNI GEORGIANA Engelm. Trans. St. Louis Acad. Sci. 4: 384. 1882 On July 26th I discovered a second station for this little-known plant, in cool wet woods at the eastern base of Taylor's Ridge, Whitfield county, at 1 100 ft. altitude (no. 310). It grew in wet clayey soil, which is probably...
Page 531 - ... horizontal from an erect axis, have attained the unique adaptation of a decurved midrib which braces the sloping sides of the leaf and effectively prevents the breaking above the ligule common in some of the species of Thrinax. It is true that the palm-leaf hats manufactured in large quantities in Porto Rico are made from the present species. The center of the hat industry is at Joyua, a small village on the western coast of the island some miles southwest of Mayaguez and west of Cabo Rojo. Here...
Page 162 - Beyricliiana was, however, a MS. name of Hampe's under which, as it would seem, Hampe had communicated the plant to one or the other of the authors of the work. It is stated in connection with the first description that the plant was collected by C. Beyrich in North America, between Jefferson and Gainesville, there being no intimation as to what part of North America these two towns might be found in. But from what is known of Beyrich's travels and of American geography, it is evident that the Jefferson...
Page 28 - Stems 3-6 dm. high, glabrous or slightly puberulent above, simple : leaves opposite, glabrous and somewhat glaucous, dentate with small sharp callous teeth, acute : the basal ones petioled, lanceolate : the lower stem-leaves sessile, oblanceolate or oblong, 3-5 cm. long ; the upper lanceolate and slightly clasping : inflorescence an elongated interrupted thyrse : branches 1-2 cm. long, fastigiatecymose : calyx glabrous, about 4 mm. long, cleft...

Page 323 - Acctabulum, and while a segregation on this ground is doubtless defensible, the propriety of thus using the generic name Acicularia perhaps awaits the further study of the fossil remains on which the genus Acicularia was founded. The specimens on which the following observations were made were collected by the writer at Hungry Bay, Bermuda, on June 25, 1900. The plants were growing on small stones at about the low tide mark in a shallow creek leading out from a mangrove thicket. Through the kindness...
