Abstract:

Since the publication of the last fascicle of Synoptical Flora, containing a revision of the North American Caryophyllaceae, four additional species,belonging to this family and growing within the range of the work mentioned, have come to the notice of the writer. These plants have been recently discovered in widely separated parts of our continent, and, with the possible exception of the Drymaria mentioned below, are undoubtedly indigenous, so that together they form a noteworthy addition to our already rich representation of this attractive family.
