Verbena bras Hiena is Veil# Herbarium of the New York botanical Garden __________ .........^ft^.....^f-y The verbena with the short thick spikes Seems close to V. Bonarieneis L. (Small p. 1010). In the key to the Verbenas, V. Bonariensis is placed with plants having bracts shorter than the calyx, whereas in the plant sent you today the bracts are longer than the calyxes. These plants are very common all along the levees and banks of Bayou Lafourche in the neighboring Parish of Lafourche, and also occurs on the north bank of Bayou Terrebonne about a mile above Houma, whence the specimens sent you were collected by me May 29. The stems reach a hgighth of 14 dm. and foliage is a bright green. Corollas 4*5 mm. high, limb 3 mm. wide, tube longer than calyx, bract longer than calyx. Corolla pale-purple or lilac.
