Streptopus curvipes Vail

Streptopus curvipes Vail sp. nov.
Simple, glabrous, except the margins of the leaves and the
peduncles. Stems 1—3 dm. high, from a slender rootstock cov-
ered with few fibrous rootlets : leaves sessile, oval or oblong-
lanceolate, 3—8 cm. long, acuminate at the apex, rounded and
, slightly clasping at the base, 3-5-nerved, the margins finely gland-
ular-ciliate : flowers 3-5, solitary: peduncles not geniculate, 5—15
, mm. long, glandular-pubescent: flowers pale purple or rose-
colored : perianth-segments lanceolate, 5~7 mm. long, minutely
I glandular-pubescent on the inner surface: anthers 2-beaked;
beaks slender, about half the length of the anther: style 3-cleft,
the spreading branches stigmatic along the inner side : berry glo-
j bose, when mature brick red, 7-9 mm. in diameter : seeds clavate,
j 3—4 mm. long, with many cross-striate ridges.
Differs from Streptopus roseus in its simple habit and the non-
i geniculate and much shorter peduncles. The beaks of the anthers
seem to be a trifle longer than in S. roseus. It is closely related to
j Sibrevipes Baker, but is larger and coarser in every respect. The
i flowers of the latter species are not known.
