The collections of the different countries will be described nearly in the order of the places given in the above list. Those of Rio Janeiro, (the place first and last visited,) will, as being perhaps of less interest than the rest, be described the last. BOTANY OF CAPTAIN BEECHEY’S VOYAGE. CHILI. [Visited Valparaiso in October and November, 1825; and again Valparaiso and Coquimbo in May, 1828.] After the investigations of Feuillée, of Ruiz and Pavon, of the Naturalists of the Russian Expedition under Capt. Kotzebue, partly made known by Chamisso and Schlechtendal in the different volumes of the Linnea, and of Mr. Macrae, Dr. Gillies, and Mr. Cruckshanks, some of whose collections have been described in the Botanical Magazine and Register, and in the Botanical Miscellany, it is not to be expected that this portion of Capt. Beechey’s Herbarium should be of a very novel nature, particularly as the Naturalists had but little opportunity of visiting the interior of the country. CL. I. DICOTYLEDONE. Susct. IL THALAMIFLORAL.

Conception. Not unfrequent upon the hilly grounds. Mr. Collie.—More perfect specimens of this plant, probably, than came under the observations of preceding authors, show that it is incorrectly placed by the excellent De Candolle in his section of Anemonanthea. It ranks in that of Anemonospermos, having, though sometimes a solitary flower on each scape, quite as frequently three or more, of which, as De Can- dolle has well characterized the groupe, one is destitute of involucellum, and the rest have each a two- leaved one. Indeed, its nearest affinity is the A. multifida of North America and the Straits of Magellan, differing, however, essentially in the shape of the leaves and involucre, and in the lengthened head of carpels. We possess specimens from the Horticultural Society, gathered by Mr. Macrae at Conception and at the Baths of Collina, and at Valparaiso by Mr. Bridges. Tas.

Conception.—This species we do not find any where described. It bears the name of Ranun- culus humilis in Mr. Collie’s notes ; and since the R. humilis of Persoon is referred to 2. pusillus, we retain the appellation given by its discoverer. It comes next to R. pusillus in a systematic arrangement. It is also allied to R. flagelliformis of Smith, and R. bonariensis of Pursh: but besides the great difference in size, the former has orbiculari-cordate leaves, and the latter has the upper ones lanceolate sessile and serrated, and smooth carpels. In habit our plant approaches to 2. ophioglossoides ; but that plant has mar- gined and tuberculated carpels. Tas. II.

Carpella sub-20, orbiculari-compressa, levia, marginata, stylo mediocri paululum recurvato terminata. Has. Conception.—The specimen here figured has the leaves nearly similar in form from the base to the extremity of the stem, and thus the peduncles which accompany them appear solitary and single-flowered. But in others which we possess, gathered by Mr. Cruckshanks in the same country, the upper leaves gradually become smaller, different in shape, narrower and tripartite, with the segments acuminated and entire, whence the upper part of the stem resembles a bracteated panicle.

Conception.—Our Chilian specimens have the petioles dilated, which constitutes the character of De Candolle’s var. «. brasilianus: but the same circumstance occurs in the North American individuals. Mr. Douglas finds the species at Juan Fernandez: but as all the stations both in the southern states of North America and in South America are near towns or cultivated places, may it not have been imported from Europe? In Carolina, Elliott says, it is probably of exotic origin. Orv. IL BERBERIDEA. Vent. 1. BERBERIS. JZ. 1.

Petala siccitate fusco-lineata. Has. Coquimbo.—This appears to be entirely an undescribed species, most nearly allied perhaps to the B. ruscifolia of Lam. Ill. t. 253, a native of Buenos Ayres: but that is a much larger plant, with fewer flowers on the racemes, and differently shaped leaves. Orp. III. FUMARIACE/. DC. 1, FUMARIA. Tourn. De Cand. 1.

Conception.—This does not differ from the larger state of C. hirsuta found in our country, and which Continental Botanists have called C. sylvatica: and it equally appears to be the C. flaccida of Chamisso and Schlechtendal, which the former Naturalist gathered also in Chili. 2.

Stligue, vix mature, unciam longe, erecte, graciles, basi in stipitem brevem, apice in stylum vel rostrum semiunciam longum, tenuissimum attenuate. Stigma parvum, capitatum. Has. Conception.—In habit this plant is certainly allied to C. pratensis, and especially to that var. with narrow leaflets which is described in the Flora Boreali-Americana, under the var. angustifolia: but its leaflets, and in particular those of the root-leaves, are still narrower, the flowers are smaller, and, in the extremely attenuated beak to the pods, it differs from all the species we are acquainted with.

Those we have from the same country, gathered by Mr. Bridges, are a foot long, much branched, especially from the base. In both we find all the essential characters of the Z. bipinnatifidum of Desvaux, who justly observes that it is nearly allied to Z. bonariense. Bixinee.} CHILI. 7 4, CAPSELLA. Vent. 1. C.

Conception.—It is remarkable that De Candolle, who has so fully described this plant in his Systema Vegetabilium, and De Lessert, who has otherwise given so excellent a figure of it in his Icones Selects, should both consider the cotyledons to be accumbent; whereas, in many seeds that we have examined, we find that they are constantly incumbent (||0), hence we have removed the genus to the “ Notorhizex angustisepti.” Orv.

Conception—We have given a figure of this plant, because we are not aware that any exists ; but we have to regret that the fruit is unknown to us, and that it is therefore out of our power to offer any remarks on the natural order in which it should be placed. Ventenat thought it ought to rank with the Samydee or the Rosacee, only that Ruiz and Pavon expressed their opinion that it was allied to Prockia, Adrien de Jussieu, in the Dict. Classique, says, that allied to Abatia and Prockia, it should be ranked with these genera among the Bixinee of M. Kunth, where, indeed, De Candolle has placed it: but this latter author has classed Abatia with the Tiliacee. The leaves of this plant are bitter, the flowers fragrant. Tas. IV. Azara serrata.

Coquimbo.—Of the six species of Krameria described by De Candolle, and the three by St. Hilaire, not one can be said accurately to correspond with the present; which is, moreover, a native of Chili; whereas all the others are inhabitants of Cumana and St. Domingo, of Mexico, of Pers, or Brazil. Assuredly, in general habit, our K. cistoidea comes near to the Peruvian K. triandra; but that has vastly larger flowers, according to the figure (FU. Per. t. 93), and only 4 sepals, 3 stamens, and 4 petals: whilst in our plant, (and we have examined specimens gathered also at Coquimbo by Mr. Cruckshanks and Mr. Macrae,) there are constantly 5 sepals, 4 stamens, and 5 petals; on which account, and taking the different countries they respectively inhabit, we have thought it safer to distinguish the Chilian plant specifically from that of Peru. Inthe number of the parts of the flower, our species agrees with the K. grandiflora and K. ruscifolia of St. Hilaire, both of which, from Brazil, have also 5 sepals and petals, and 4 stamina; but in these the stems are simple, or nearly so, and the flowers almost spicate, having very short pedicels; while in ours the stem is much branched, and the flowers distinctly racemose. K. cytisoides has also the same number of parts, but the central of the upper petals appears to be longer than the two others, and nearly filiform, and the leaves are ternate. K. tomentosa, St. Hil., has 4 sepals and stamina, and 5 petals. In K. Irina and K. glabra, Spr., 4 sepals, petals, and stamens have been observed, a peculiarity caused by the dis- appearance of the upper unguiculate petal. K. linearis, Poir.and DC., (K. peniapetala, R. P.) has 5 sepals, 4 stamina, and 3 petals, of which the upper solitary unguiculate one is 3-lobed, indicating its triple origin. In K. triandra, as we have already observed, there are only 3 stamens; but it is probable that the upper one is double, or formed by the union of two, or that the anther contains four cells. Of K. pauciflora and secundiflora, from Mexico, nothing is known of the structure of the flower. But if we are at a loss to determine satisfactorily the species of this plant, our difficulty is greater in ascertaining the order in which it should be placed. Jussieu, in the Ist vol. of the Mémoires du Mus. p. 390, has arranged it with the Poiygalee.] CHILI. : 9 genera allied to Polygalee ; but. he observes that it recedes from them “in the number and structure of the parts of the flower, and in the absence of a perisperm.” Mr. Brown, too, as also St. Hilaire, refers it to Polygalee. The flowers present peculiarities in their structure very unlike any thing we have seen in other plants. There are three bracteas, one on the stem at the insertion of the pedicel, the other two opposite, on the pedicel itself, and decussating with the lower bractea. The sepals are in a triple series; the lower, or that which is in the same line with the lower bractea, together with a similar superior one, are larger than the others, and exterior; the two intermediate ones are rather smaller and alternate with the exterior pair; the interior is still smaller, and is situated between the upper exterior and one of the intermediate ones, usually that on the right, but, in some blossoms, that on the left, as seems to be represented and described by St. Hilaire, under K. grandiflora. Petals 5; 3 similar in shape to each other, of which the lateral ones are opposite to the upper exterior and to the interior small sepal, while the central one is inter- mediate between these; 2 fleshy petals are placed opposite the two intermediate sepals. Stamens 4 and declinate, of which the two lower are longer and more bent, and alternate with the upper petals, and with these and the carnose ones. The ovarium has the placenta on the side next the central upper petal; and the style, bending first downwards towards the lower exterior sepal, afterwards rises towards the central petal. Such is the structure that presents itself to us in this species, the only one we have had a sufficient oppor- tunity of examining. It must be remarked, however, that this view of its structure is completely at variance with the analysis of K. grandiflora, given by St. Hilaire, (Mémoires du Mus. v. 17. t. 31, and Fl. Brasil. Merid. v. 2. p. 73,) for, by that able author, the insertion of the ovules or the line of the placenta is “ a petalis mnferioribus aversum,” while he declares the lower petals to be the three uniform ones. If, then, St. Hilaire were correct, there could be little doubt of the genus Krameria belonging to Polygalee, each anther and stamen with a double cell and double terminal pore being viewed as composed of two stamens, and two anthers, each with a single cell and pore, or tending to show that in Polygalee each pair of stamens forms but one; but our species presents the very different arrangement we have described, and from it we may state that, whether we take as our guide the subtending bractea, or the ascending style, which Brown finds to be anterior in every plant, or the placenta situated on the upper interior side of the ovarium, we consider the three similar petals to be superior, and, consequently, that an inversion of the common arrangement in plants, and in the Polygalee, takes place here. The relative position of the sepals and petals to the axis of the spike or bractea, is thus scarcely different from what exists in the Leguminose, where Sir J. E. Smith seems disposed to fix this genus. But neither is it altogether the same as in that order, for, looking at the sepals by themselves, the odd one, or that which has least relation to the others, is undoubtedly the small interior one: but with regard to the bractea, and a symmetrical disposition of the petals, stamina, and style, the inferior must be termed the odd one, the two intermediate ones forming one opposite pair, while the upper exterior, and the small interior, although placed in a very different series, must thus constitute the next pair. Viewing the analysis in what way we will, we are beset with difficulties, which are increased by observing that the two fleshy petals do not alternate with any of the sepals, but are opposite to the two that are intermediate, which would almost incline us to believe, with Kunth, that these are abortive stamina, and not petals. If Krameria belong to Polygalee, the arrangement and nature of the organs in that order are still involved in doubt; and if it be one of the Leguminose, its nearest affinity is with the genus Cassia, from which, however, it differs in very many important points. Perhaps some allied genus may yet be dis- covered, and a new groupe formed, exhibiting an additional intermediate link between these orders. We have not seen the ripe fruit, but St. Hilaire describes the cotyledons as auricled at the base, the auricles surrounding the radicle, which perhaps led De Candolle and others to believe in the presence of a fleshy albumen: that, however, is no objection to its forming part of Polygalee ; for in some genera truly belonging to this order, as Monnina and Securidaca, the albumen has a tendency also to disappear. We may add, that in our idea of the position of the parts of the flower, we are borne out by Ruiz and Pavon, Jussieu and Kunth. The whole arrangement will be best understood by the following reference to the figures in the plate. Tas. V. Krameria cistoidea. Fig. 1, Section of a flower-bud; a.a.a.a.a.

Nat. v. 7. p. 211. t. 49.” At the time the account of it was published in the Botanical Miscellany, v. 1. p. 174, under the name of Macrea, given to it by Mr. Lindley in Brande’s Journal of Science, v. 5. p. 104, we were not aware of its being identical with that of Cavanilles, whose name must, of course, be preferred. The same has also been described by Cambessedes, (Mém. du Mus. v. 18. p. 369. t. 18,) as a new Brazilian genus, and called Caesarea. We regret to say that it does not appear to have been gathered by the Naturalists of the Expedition, but we possess specimens of three species from Mr. Cruck- shanks, Mr. Macrae, and Dr. Gillies, from various parts of Chili.

Conception.—There are so many points in common between this plant and the Mauria simplici- folia of Humb. and Kunth, Nov. Gen. v. 7. t. 605, that it is difficult not to believe them to be generically the same: but in Mauria the flowers are hermaphrodite; the stigma is solitary, thick, and angled, and the seed is pendulous: whereas, except in habit, our plant differs only from the simple-leaved species of Rhus in the greater number of its stamens; whence we have been led to refer it to that genus. This, Dr. Gillies, to whom we are also indebted for specimens, as well as to Mr. Cruckshanks and Mr. Bridges, considers to be the true “ Laurus caustica” of Molina, the Llithi or Litri of the natives, on which our friend observes, “ The state- ment made by Molina, relative to the poisonous nature of this tree, seems to be well founded; as Iam informed, by several intelligent people, that individuals resting or sleeping under it at certain times of the year, are afterwards attacked with eruptions all over the body.” We take this opportunity of stating, that we are enabled to correct, by means of Mr. Cruckshanks’ remarks, a mistake in Feuillée, which has led most succeeding botanists into a serious error. Feuillée, in his description, attributes the same properties to this plant as Molina has since done, and says he has not seen the flower or fruit: yet the figure to which the name “ Lilith” is affixed, represents a fruit larger than a chestnut; and Lamarck and Sprengel have, in consequence, described the Laurus caustica with such a fruit. But the whole has arisen from the names in the plate having been engraved under the wrong figures; the plant on the right without fruit is the Llithi ; while that in fruit on the left is the Zucuwma obovata.

Its nearest affinity is with the section “ Vesicastrum” of De Candolle’s Prodromus; but there it is the upper lip of the calyx which becomes inflated, here the standard of the corolla.

Conception—Whether or not this plant should continue in the genus Lotus is a matter of doubt. Its nearest affinity is with Lotus tetraphyllus of Linn. fil., having, like it, more leatlets than the three ter- minal ones usual in the genus; in L. tetraphyllus, there is one additional; in our plant éwo, and these two are constantly unilateral. The former, however, has a capitate stigma; ours an obtuse one: in these respects also departing from the true Loti, in which, as now circumscribed, the stigma is subulate. From Cc 18 CHILI. [Leguminose. Hosachia, Benth., to which it approaches by the tendency to a pinnate leaf, it differs by the appressed alz, the entire absence of stipules, and the solitary flowers. De Candolle seems to have observed monadelphous stamens in his specimens, hence he has been led to refer this plant to the genus Anthyllis; but we find the stamens to be truly diadelphous. Tas. VIII.

This exactly agrees with our original specimen of T’rigonella Americana, received from Mr. Nuttall, except that the leaflets are rather shorter in proportion to their breadth. There is, however, nothing silky about the plant in its dried state, as Pursh’s name would seem to imply: it is clothed with soft and short patent hairs, which give no glossiness to the stems or foliage, and which are best seen when the plant is held up between the eye and the light. In the greater number of its leaflets, this species differs from H. unifoliolata, «., and in the larger flowers and seed-vessels. 1.

Prodr. v. 2. p. 274. The legumes of this very fine species of Phaca, which was first found by Mr. Menzies in California, are remarkably large, inflated and membranaceous; in these respects, exactly resembling those of Phaca inflata, of Dr. Gillies (in Bot. Misc. ined.), from Uspallata in South America. The habit of the two species is like- wise very similar; but, in Dr. Gillies’, the whole plant is glabrous, and the flowers are much smaller. 2. Lathyrus decaphyllus; glaber vel pubescens, foliolis 4—6-jugis ellipticis rarius ovatis vel suboblongis, stipulis parvis semisagittatis lanceolatis lobo deflexo stipulam subeequante, pedunculis folii longitudine multifloris, calyce pubescente dentibus duobus superioribus valde abbreviatis, (corollis purpureis,) leguminibus lineari-oblongis compressis.

This appears to be a very variable plant, and the specimens in the Collection have the leaflets smaller and narrower than is the case with the plant figured in the Bot.

We cannot be mistaken in this plant, although only a single leaf exists in the Collection. 2. Lupinus macrocarpus; suffruticosus, foliosus, foliis subbrevi-petiolatis septenis, foliclis lanceolatis obtusissimis inferne attenuatis supra glabris subtus appresso-pubescenti-sericeis, racemo multifloro, floribus (inter maximos) raro verticillatis, calycibus pedicellis rachique appresso-sericeis, leguminibus lineari-oblongis tumidis hirsutis 8—10-spermis. Found by Mr. Menzies during the voyage with Captain Vancouver, and probably common about San Francisco; yet it does not correspond with any described species, nor with any found by Mr. Douglas. The lower part of the stem is decidedly shrubby, the leaves and legumes large in proportion to the size of the plant, apparently yellow when recent. Perhaps, in habit, its nearest affinity is with Z. littoralis, Dougl., but the leaves are, in that plant, silky on both sides, the flowers are differently coloured, and the legumes are not half the size. 3.

This, along with the preceding, has long lain in our Herbarium undescribed, the gift of the generous Menzies, who gathered it in California, and probably at San Francisco. It is, without doubt, the Z. sericeus of Eschscholtz, and probably too of Pursh; though we have no authentic specimen to confirm this opinion. It is among the most beautiful of the genus, small, suffruticose, densely leafy, often throwing out numerous short branches, and every where, except the corolla, clothed with densely appressed aureo-nitent silky hairs. The flowers are described by Eschscholtz as yellow, though in the dried state, as that author observes, they become tinged with purple. Orv. XVI. ROSACEA. (Sect. Sprracemz. De Cand.) ADENOSTOMA.

It is to be regretted that we do not possess perfect fruit of this plant, which we consider as unquestionably belonging to the Natural Order Rosacee, and very different from any genus yet described. In habit, it perhaps comes nearest to some species of Spirea, yet the flowers are abundantly different: the calyx being furnished with five conspicuous fleshy glands or scales at the mouth, and the germen remarkably and obliquely truncated at the extremity, and there and there only very pubescent. It constitutes apparently a small rigid shrub, glabrous in every part, with upright twiggy branches clothed with greyish-brown bark. The leaves are small and always fasciculated, the fascicle, as well as each individual Jeaf, being subtended by a stipule ; that of the latter is bifid. Flowers in an interrupted terminal leafless spike, clustered, with many small imbricated bractee at their base. It grows in sandy plains in the Bay of Monterrey. Tas. XXX.

[ Cornea. unculo foliis breviore, involucri foliolis foliaceis lanceolatis integerrimis umbella compacta simplice longioribus. First discovered, along with the following species, by Mr. Menzies. The general similarity of the plant to Arctopus capensis has suggested the specific name. There are scarcely any stems, and the umbels are nearly concealed among the leaves, which are almost fringed with long narrow and much acuminated teeth, the larger ones of which are likewise so fimbriated. 2. Sanicula Menziesi ; caulescens, superne subpaniculata, foliis longe petiolatis profunde trifidis, lobis lato-obovatis cuneatis inciso-serratis serraturis acuminatissime mucronatis, umbellis compositis, involucelli foliolis lanceolatis acutis umbellam equantibus. Evidently allied to the S. arctopoides; but having a stem nearly a span high, with compound umbels, the umbellules globose, flowers small, yellow. 1. Eryngium aquaticum ? Linn. There are no leaves, and only the extremity of a stem of a solitary specimen, so that we are unable satisfactorily to determine the species. 1. Cicuta maculata ? Linn. 1. Apium graveolens.

This has a good deal the habit of the Helosciadium repens of Europe, but is vastly larger, with more numerous and more divided pinne. It appears likewise to depart from the generic character, in having several leaves to the involucre, and a long style. The fruit is essentially the same in both. The Herbarium contains two other Umbelliferous plants, from California, but with fruit so young, that we cannot refer them to any known genus. Both have their leaves many times divided into very narrow, linear, almost filiform segments, and the vagina of the leaf is singularly large and inflated. The one is nearly stemless, very pubescent, almost woolly about the umbels and involucres. The cnvolucella are about as long as the umbellules, broadly lanceolate, and apparently entire: the very short stems (many arising from the crown of the root) bear each a peduncle about as long as the leaves. The other has a flaccid, apparently procumbent stem, with remote leaves, and is nearly glabrous. There are no involucres, and the involucella are lobed in a somewhat palmated manner, with the lobes acute, and about as long as the small compact umbellule. Orv. XXI. CORNE. De Cand. 1. Cornus alba.

We presume this is the Caprifolium ciliosum of Pursh, which Lewis found on the Kooskoosky river, but the character given by Pursh is too imperfect to enable us to speak with certainty. It seems to be a large climbing plant, with perennial coriaceous leaves. The younger, or upper branches, are remarkable for the hairs which clothe only one side, the other being glabrous, or nearly so. These hairs are coarse and rigid, and still more so upon the peduncle and among the flowers, which are truly hispid; they are generally terminated by a minute gland. The corolla we have not seen; it is described as yellow by Pursh. The Caprifolium occidentale of Lindley, in Bot. Reg. t. 1457, differs from this in the glabrous branches and peduncles, in the capitate flowers, and red corollas. 2.

Act. Soc. Petersb. 10. p. 284.” Cham. et Schlecht. in Linnea, v. 3. p. 138. De Cand. Prodr. v. 4. p. 336. We have kept this distinct from the LZ. involucrata of the Banksian Herbarium, Xylostewm involucratum of Dr. Richardson, with considerable hesitation. That our plant is the same with Z. Ledebourii of Eschscholtz and Chamisso, there can be no question, for it exactly agrees with authentic specimens now before us. These differ from Dr. Scouler’s and Mr. Douglas’ Z. involucrata, from the mouth of the Columbia and Puget’s Sound, (which is assuredly the same as that of Sir J. Banks, gathered on the same coast, between lat. 56° and 64° North,) solely in their more elongated and straighter branches, their greater degree of pubescence, and the more rigid and wrinkled leaves, usually oblong rather than ovate. Dr. Rich- ardson’s plant, and specimens gathered by Mr. Drummond in the Rocky Mountains, between lat. 42° and 46°, are in every respect similar to those of Dr. Scouler and Mr. Douglas, only that the leaves are still less pubescent, and more membranaceous and flaccid: and the Z. imvolucrata of Bot. Reg. t. 1179, is equally characteristic of both these. In our plant, and probably in the LZ. involucrata also, the two inner bractew are hardly visible till the fruit advances to maturity, when they become remarkably large and enclose the fruit. 1.

Menziesii of Pursh, although we only know his plant from the short character above quoted. Ours is a branch, 7-8 inches long, waved, and as thick as a swan’s quill, with excessively hard wood, and having a glabrous, slightly wrinkled, ferruginous surface, from which, however, it appears that a coarse bark has peeled or scaled off. The petioles are an inch or more long; the leaves 3-4 inches long, oval or elliptic, obtuse at the base and the extremity, coriaceous, almost black (in the dry state,) quite entire, glabrous, pale, and apparently glaucous beneath, with innumerable reticulated, and slightly prominent, rather dark-coloured veins. The racemes are in fruit, and in that state the bark has in a great measure peeled off. Berries about the size of peas, black, the integument areolated, or cracked into a number of small scales. Seeds many.—Mr. Collie had named the specimen “ Arbor ferruginea,” from which it may be inferred that the stems and branches, and probably the leaves below, are of a rusty colour. We regret much that we can give no better account of this fine arbor- escent Arbutus. 2. Arbutus fomentosa; fruticosa, ramis angulatis foliisque cordatis pungenti-acutis cori- aceis pubescentibus vel glabris, petiolis brevibus, racemis subcapitatis terminalibus bracteatis, bracteis inferioribus longitudine fere florum, corollis urceolatis, calycibus glabris ciliatis obtusis. Pursh, Fl. Am. v. 1. p. 282. Of this we have several varieties, differing, however, almost solely in the pubescence.—Var. «., the original plant from Mr. Menzies, and from which Mr. Pursh drew up his character, has the whole specimen, except the flowers, very downy, especially on the underside of the upper leaves and young branches; and these latter, and the petioles, and lower part of the costa beneath, have numerous long rigid hairs mixed with the pubescence, so as to give the plant a remarkably hispid appearance. This is from the Columbia.— Var. 2. is destitute of long rigid hairs ; but has the pubescence on the young stems and young leaves still copious, as is the case with some of Mr. Menzies’ specimens, which have no more particular locality than North-West Coast of America, and with some in Captain Beechey’s Herbarium.— Var. @., with the branches slightly pubes- cent, and the leaves almost entirely so, except the petioles and the base of the costa beneath; and var. 4, with the stems and leaves perfectly glabrous: both these we have from San Francisco, in California; the former is in the present Collection, and the latter we received from Dr. Fischer, marked “ Arbutus Menziesii ?”— In all, the foliage, in a dry state, is of a singularly pale green colour, remarkably coriaceous, and marked with copious but minute reticulations. 3. Arbutus pungens ; fruticosa, ramis prostratis subpubescentibus, foliis petiolatis per- ennantibus ovalibus obovatisve coriaceis nitidis minute reticulatis pungenti-mucronatis gla- briusculis tenui-marginatis subintegerrimis, racemis terminalibus brevibus, floribus bracteatis. Habit of Arbutus Uva Ursi, and with leaves of the same size, but sufficiently distinct, being broader, upon longer petioles, often quite obtuse, or even retuse at the base, downy with a whitish pubescence except the oldest, more or less serrated, and always terminated by a very sharp pungent point. Flowers small, ur- ceolate. Orv. XXV. VACCINIEA. De Cand. 1.

This, in its foliage, almost exactly resembles the Arbutus mucronata of the Straits of Magellan, but the flowers are racemose, and truly those of a Vaccinium. It was first detected by Mr. Menzies, and after- wards, according to Mr. Pursh, found by M. Lewis on the Columbia. Composita.| CALIFORNIA. 145 Orv. XXVI. COMPOSITE. Juss. 1.

Lessing in Linnea, v. 6. p. 501. This is certainly the plant of Lessing, agreeing both with specimens received from him, and now in Dr, Hooker’s Herbarium, and with his description; but since in the true species of Zroximon, the pappus is harsh and persistent, while in our plant, it is soft and very caducous as in Sonchus, we have referred it to Borkhausia, notwithstanding the different involucrum which most species of that genus possess. The achenia are atten- uated into a long beak, which is dilated at the apex, forming a disc for the reception of the pappus and florets. In Zrozimon, although usually described with a sessile pappus, or, in other words, without a beak to the achenium, there is really a short beak, by which, and by the different kind of involucre, that genus seems principally distinguished from Leontodon. 1.

In habit it is very different from the common variety. 1. Erigeron Canadensis. Linn. 1.

Syst. v. 3. p. 538? The leaflets of the involucre are probably squarrose, although they do not present that appearance in the dried plant, whence arise our doubts ; but as in this very difficult genus, it is almost impossible to describe in words the slight differences between the species, and as neither figures nor authentic specimens are accessible for the purposes of elucidation, it is not unlikely that the present may either prove to be a new species, or something very distinct from Aiton’s plant. 3.

The only species to which this approaches is Aster sericeus, Vent.; but whether, like it, the stems are shrubby, the specimen before us can scarcely permit us to say: we think they are. The floccose tomentum on the stem and branches is easily rubbed off. Upper leaves entire; lower ones probably furnished with a few sharp serratures near their apex, at least one or two of the lower ones on the specimen in the Collection are so. Florets of the ray emarginate, and neuter. Stigmas of the disc exserted, furnished about their extremity with a conspicuous tuft of hairs ; which double character seems to remove this plant from Aséer. Pappus brown, scabrous. A fragment of another allied, but certainly different species, exists in the Collection, which may be characterised as follows:— 4.

Pursh, Fl. Bor. Am. v. 2. p. 559. Bot. Mag. t. 1706. a. Folia punctis glutinosis micantibus conspersa. 8. Folia subintegerrima carnosula opaca. Although we do not consider these two varieties as distinct species, yet it must be confessed their aspect is very different. Our second variety has quite that peculiar appearance which many plants assume which grow on the sea-shore ; but we are ignorant if this be its true locality. Most authors unite this species with G. inuloides, Willd.; and if they be correct, then the following species stands in a similar situation, for it is in many points intermediate between the two others. 2. Grindelia hirsutula; pilis albidis hirsutula, caule caespitoso herbaceo parce ramoso, ramis elongatis unifloris, foliis angusto-oblongis subamplexicaulibus serratis, involucri pubescentis squamis lineari-lanceolatis basi appressis apice subsquarrosis. Very closely allied to G. angustifolia, Kunth, (not Dunal,) but that species appears to have always a simple stem. This differs from the preceding, by the hairs that are found on its stem, leaves, and involucre, and by the long one-flowered branches. 3. Grindelia humilis; glabra, caule herbaceo simplici unifloro, foliis radicalibus linearibus obtusis basi attenuatis caulinis sessilibus inferioribus angustissime linearibus superioribus subulatis bracteiformibus, involucri foliolis lineari-lanceolatis apice squarrosis. The only specimen in the Collection is about eight inches hich, and is very unlike any of the other species. The cauline leaves decrease gradually upwards, resembling subulate bractez. On this plant Messrs. Lay and Collie remark :—“ folia recentia lineari-spathulata, antiquiora oblonga basi dilatata spinuloso-dentata ;” the latter kind of leaves we have not seen. 1. Baccharis glutinosa; fruticosa, foliis anguste lanceolatis basi in petiolum attenuatis argute remote serratis 3-plinerviis subtus excavato-punctatis, corymbis terminalibus, involu- cri foliolis margine laceris, achenio scabro.—Pers.—Molina salicifolia. Luiz et Pav. Syst. p. 210? Perhaps B. salicifolia, Pers., is not distinct, but then Sprengel unites to it B. gniditfolia, Kunth, of which plant the leaves are described as sessile, and not attenuated into a kind of petiole at their base, as in ours. Chamisso does not appear to have met with this species; but Lessing (Linniea, v. 6. p. 505,) mentions having found B. linearis, which is surely distinct, otherwise we might have supposed that Lessing and we had the same plant in view. We can perceive only one series of hairs of the pappus. 2. Baccharis glomeruliflora; fruticosa, foliis approximatis obsolete trinervibus obovatis T2 148 CALIFORNIA.

Bor. Am, v. 2. p. 523. > There are two very distinct states of this plant, which we had almost supposed to be different species ; but Lessing, whose authority is doubtless high, as he appears to have seen numerous specimens, describes both without distinguishing them even as varieties. In one, the heads of flowers are collected usually by threes, into short compact spikes or racemes, which are almost invariably axillary. In the other, the inflorescence is more lax, and the heads of flowers are constantly solitary and terminal. Neither in the involucre, achenium, pappus, nor leaves, is there any difference. It was found also by Mr. Menzies, on the coast of California. 1. Xanthium Canadense. Mill—X. maculatum. Raf. in Sill. Journ.—X. orientale. Linn. fil. The fruit of this species is larger than that of X. strumarium, and the two beaks to it are slightly incurved at the apex, while in X. strwmarium they are nearly straight. Whether these be sufficiently good characters, we are inclined to doubt, but have not been able to discover any others. We presume it is the X. stru- marium of Pursh, Nuttall, Elliott, and other North-American Botanists, and indeed we have seen no other from North America. 1.

Achenia (juniora) oblonga, erostrata, basi attenuata; radii glabra, apice calva; disci pilosa; pappo persistente rigido basi plumoso apice simplici. If this were to form a new genus, we would propose the name of Layia, after one of the discoverers; and this would principally differ from Zridax or Balbisia, by the shape of the involucre, its consisting of numerous leaves, which are opposite to, and are respectively wrapt round, the achenia and tube of the corolla Composite.] CALIFORNIA. 149 of the radical florets; by the marginal achenia without pappus, and by the imperfect manner in which the receptacle is provided with scales: indeed it is difficult to say if these in the present case ought not to be viewed as an inner series of involucral leaves, to which some of them bear a close resemblance in colour and texture. In Tridax procumbens, the leaves of the involucre do not surround the achenia, and the marginal achenia have a pappus precisely the same as those of the disc, and similar to what we have above described in our plant. Only one specimen, and that far from a good one, exists in the Collection: the inflorescence so resembles a Galardia, that had we not examined it minutely, we should have placed it in that genus. 1, Helianthus dongifolius; herbaceus, foliis alternis oblongo-lanceolatis basi in petiolum planum longe attenuatis integerrimis flaccidis penninerviis utrinque glabris margine ciliato- scabris, involucri foliolis subaequalibus discum superantibus spathulato-oblongis appressis margine hispido-ciliatis, pappi aristis solitariis vel binis inaequalibus validis.— Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. v. 1, p. 313. This appears to be a true species of the genus, but the leaves are more like those of a Rudbeckia: these, particularly the lower ones, are about five inches long, and much attenuated at the base into a flat petiole, which is about three inches in length. In the upper ones the limb is longer, while the petiole is shorter. In Mr. Douglas’s specimen from the Columbia, the leaves are decidedly glutinous, as if varnished. 1. Bahia artemisiefolia; foliis alternis sessilibus profunde pinnatifidis subtus niveo-tomen- tosis margine revolutis, capitulis fasciculatis, involucris 9-phyllis 1-serialibus cylindraceis, floribus radii lingulatis.—Lessing in Linnea, v. 5. p. 160, et v. 6. p. 253. The above character applies to the usual state of the plant; but sometimes the leaves are either quite entire, or they present one, or at most two, short lobes or segments at the side, about the middle. We much suspect that in this state it may become the Eriophyllum stechadifolium of Lagasca. All the florets are fertile: those of the ray are without stamens, and usually about six in number. Leaves of the involucre at first tomentose, but afterwards becoming often quite glabrous. Achenia with four or five angles, or pro- jecting ridges, somewhat hispid. Scales of the pappus eight or ten, unequal, linear, obtuse and striated, about one-fourth of the length of the achenium. Between Eriophylium of Lagasca, to which Mr. Lindley has united Trichophyllum of Nuttall, and Bahia, there appears to be almost no difference: indeed, the only character pointed out by Lessing consists in the palez of the pappus being unequal, linear, and truncated in Bahia, and equal, obtuse, and narrowest at the base in the other genus. In the present individual, the palez are not, as Lessing says, truncate, but rounded at the apex: while, on the other hand, those of Tricho- phyllum appear sometimes truncated and lacerated. Nor does their attenuation below, or their equality, prove a good character, since in our specimens of what we consider Bahia ambrosioides, from Chili, (the only species we have received from that country, and which consequently is the type of Lagasca’s genus Pahia,) the palew are short, equal, obtuse, not truncate, and narrower at their base than at the apex. Bahia artem- isiefolia was first discovered by Mr. Menzies, in California. 1. Helenium pubescens ; herbaceum, puberulum, caule ramoso alato, foliis alternis oblongis inferioribus obtusis superioribus acuminatis decurrentibus pellucido-punctatis integerrimis, capitulis solitariis in ramis longe ante apicem aphyllis, involucro polyphyllo reflexo discum superante, receptaculo subgloboso, radii flosculis lingulatis trilobis pellucido-punctatis.— Helenium pubescens. Ait.?—Cephalophora decurrens. Lessing in Linnea, v. 6. p. 517%. Lessing appears entirely to have overlooked the marginal series of scales on the receptacle, which con- stitutes this a Helenium, as its habit indicates, and not a Cephalophora or Actinella. From H. quadriden- tatum it differs by the shape of the receptacle, and from H. autumnale by the leaves, which we have always found entire, and by the much smaller ray, as well as by the long simple one-flowered branches, like those of H. quadridentatum. 150 CALIFORNIA. [ Composite. 1. Spilanthes pseudo-acmella. Linn. ? Of this there is only one, and that a very imperfect specimen, in the Collection. 1. Achillea Millefolium. Linn. Chamisso appears only to have found A. magna, (with which Lessing unites A. Janata, Spr.) but specimens, gathered by Messrs. Lay and Collie, appear in no respect distinct from A. Millefolium, and certainly do not accord with what we possess in our Herbaria as A. magna. 1. Coinogyne carnosa. Lessing in Linnea, v. 6. p. 521. As this genus is peculiar to California, and only lately constituted, we extract the following character :— Cotnocyne; Involucrum cylindraceum pauciseriale, foliolis obtusissimis margine scariosis, inferioribus brevioribus. Receptaculum conicum nudum. Flores disci tubulosi hermaphroditi; radii lingulati foeminei. Anthere ecaudate. Achenia calva. Stylus ramis cono superatis.—All the plant is fleshy. The leaves are decussated, lingulate, very entire, united at the base into a sheath about a line long. The genus approaches most in character to Chrysanthemum, but the branches of the style in this last are truncate. Lessing con- pares its appearance with Kleinia suffruticosa. There is but one specimen in the collection. 1. Artemisia Californica; fruticosa, ramosa, foliis gemmuliferis approximatis pubescenti- incanis pinnatisectis segmentis angustissime linearibus obtusis, superioribus sensim integris, racemo subsecundo, capitulis cernuis brevissime pedicellatis, involucro subgloboso, foliolis obtusis margine late scariosis glabriusculis, receptaculo nudo, corollis glabris.x—Lessing in Linnea, v. 6. p. 523. Allied both to A. Santonica and A. herbacea: the above character will readily distinguish it from both. 2.

Chilense. Spreng. Syst. v. 3. p. 480.—Lessing in Linnea, v. 6. p. 525. When describing the Chilian species in this work, (p. 31,) we were led to suppose that what we then called G. Chilense might, notwithstanding the great difference in the characters, be the plant of Sprengel. In the sixth volume of the Linnza, however, at p. 227, Lessing describes Chamisso’s plant, and from his description it is obvious that what we have called G. Chilense,is G. falcatum, Lam.: while he unites Sprengel’s G. Polemonidee.| CALIFORNIA. 15] Chilense to G. Piravira, Mol., which is the same as our G. citrinum, a name that of course must yield to that of Molina’s, although we are yet ignorant where it is published. When Lessing referred hither the G. Chilense, he must have trusted a little to Sprengel’s character, as we did, for no other plant of Chamisso, from whom Sprengel had it, approached more closely. At p. 260, Lessing informs us that he had overlooked a packet, the description of which would form a supplement. Among these he adopts the G. Chilense, Spr., from California, and although, perhaps inadvertently, he refers to the former part, where he united it to G. Piravira, yet he now adopts the name from Sprengel; contrasting which with the character given by that author, we have now no doubt of the present being what he intended; and as it is not a Chilian, but a Californian plant, we have considered it necessary to change the specific name. To G. lanuginosum, Kunth, it is very closely allied; but although Sprengel unites them, we consider the leaflets of the involucre “ argute acuta fuscescenti-virescentia” of the latter, may keep it distinct. Sprengel places this plant erroneously among the “ Filagines,” but it is much more nearly allied to G. polycephalum, and particularly to G. decurrens. We may here remark, in addition to the two Chilian species already noticed, and described at p. 31, that our G. ulophyllum coincides with Lessing’s G‘. Indicum, and G. coarctatum with his G. stachydifolium. 2. Gnaphalium decurrens; caule herbaceo lanato, foliis lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis decurrentibus supra scabriusculo-puberulis subtus albo-lanatis, corymbis paniculatis glomer- atis paucifloris, involucri foliolis oblongis acutis argenteis nitidis.—ZJves, in Sillim. Amer. Journ.—Spreng. Syst. v. 3. p. 478. Lessing in Linnea, v. 6. p. 525. In the specimens before us, the leaves are narrower than in those we possess from the United States, and the panicle more destitute of foliage, but we can see scarcely any other difference. The woolly coat on the underside of the leaves is subject to be rubbed off. The Californian state approaches very nearly to G. Sprengelii, above described, from which it principally differs by the leaves not being cottony on both sides. 3. Gnaphalium luteo-album. Linn.

At the time Dr. Hooker published this species in the Botanical Magazine, he was not aware of a specific name being already given to it by Eschcholtz, which, however, has the claim of priority. Messrs. Lay and Collie appear to have found it about Monterey, Mr. Douglas near the source of the Multnomack River, one 52 CALIFORNIA. [Solanee. of the southern branches of the Columbia.

The leaves are precisely those of NV. parviflora, a species found by Dr. Scouler and Mr. Douglas on the Columbia River; but in that individual the flowers are very small, and the peduncles scarcely so long as the leaf.

In addition to the character given by Eschscholtz, we may remark that the stamens are distinct, the filaments very short, and broadest at the base. Style straight. Stigma slightly capitate. Before the corolla is fully expanded, it appears campanulate, as in Atropa, with which genus the present individual has con- siderable affinity. The anthers are, however, furnished with two pores, or rather clefts, at their apex; but in some flowers, these pores showed a tendency to split downwards to the base of the anther.

As remarked by Chamisso and Schlechtendal, this species approaches very closely to the European S. nodosa: according to these authors the affinity is less with S. Marilandica, although to us it appears extremely allied to that species. From 5S. nodosa, the shape of the calycine segments and of the capsule will readily distinguish it. Our specimens have no root. 1. Mimulus guétatus; glabriusculus, caule quadrangulari basi radicante, foliis inferioribus petiolatis ovato-oblongis obtusis superioribus subsessilibus subrotundo-ovatis basi subcordatis plurinerviis ineequaliter dentatis, pedunculis pubescentibus bractea sessili longioribus, calyce campanulato pubescente corollaque guttatim maculatis. De Cand. Cat. Hort. Monsp. p. 12%. —M. luteus. Bot. Mag. t. 1501. Although undoubtedly a distinct species from the Chilian JZ. luteus, it is by no means easy to point out a constant distinctive character. In M. guttatus the size of the flowers is usually much smaller, the peduncles are pubescent and shorter; but we do not find them so short as to verify the assertion that they are shorter U 154 CALIFORNIA. [Scrophularinee. than the bracteas or floral leaves: they are generally shorter than the flower, while in MW. luteus the lower ones especially are often considerably longer. What Sprengel means, when he says that in the one the peduncles have bracteas, and in no other are ebracteate, we scarcely comprehend. 2. Mimulus floribundus; annuus, caule prostrato villoso, foliis bracteisque consimilibus petiolatis cordato-ovatis acutis denticulatis glabris plurinerviis, pedunculis pubescentibus bractea sublongioribus calyce urceolato pubescenti dentibus acutis subaequalibus.— Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1125. This quite agrees with Mr. Menzies’ original specimens from the same coast. 3.

Castilleja affinis; caule herbaceo subsimplici piloso-hispido, foliis lineari-lanceolatis trinerviis pubescentibus integris, floralibus linearibus integris vel (raro) apice dentato-lobatis, floribus inferioribus pedunculatis, calyce florifero tubuloso antice posticeque fisso lobis bifidis segmentis lineari-lanceolatis acutis, corolla calycem superante. 7 It will be seen from the above character, taken from the Californian specimens, that there are considerable points of difference between them and the C. pallida of authors, the Bartsia pallida of Michaux. The floral leaves, not dilated, also separate it from C. lithospermoides of Kunth. From C. integrifolia, Linn. to which it is also allied, the tubular, not ventricose, calyx, during flowering, will keep it distinct. 2. Castilleja datifolia; caule subherbaceo ramoso inferne subhirsuto pubescente superne subvilloso, foliis ovato-oblongis obtusis integris dense pubescentibus, floralibus dilatatis cuneatis apice trifidis lobis brevibus obtusis medio latiori, floribus subsessilibus, calyce florifero tubuloso antice postice aequaliter fisso lobis breviter obtuse bidentatis, corolla tubo calycem aequante. According to Mr. Collie this is from three to six inches high, and grows in wet sandy places: he mentions that the flowers are ina lax terminal spike; but, with the exception of one specimen, in which the bracteas have fallen away, those in the Collection exhibit a spike which is both short and dense. Chamisso appears to have found in the same place, “in arenosis littoralibus ad portum S. Francisci Nove Californie,” a I ’ ’ species which surely must be the same with ours, but which he refers to C. Toluccensis, H. B. K., owing, perhaps, to his having only seen “ serotinas autumni proles.” This and the next must belong to the same subgenus or section of Castilleja as Euchroma coccinea, Nutt. having the same kind of calyx, while C. affinis has more the calyx of Euchroma grandiflora. 3. Castilleja foliolosa; niveo-tomentosa, caule fruticoso ramoso, foliis confertis inferioribus linearibus obtusis superioribus floralibusque divaricato-tripartitis rariusve integris, floribus subsessilibus, calyce florifero tubuloso antice postice aequaliter fisso lobis leviter emarginatis, corollz tubo calyce breviore.

Bartsia tenuifolia, Pursh, seems closely allied to this species. The lower lip of the corolla is quite at variance with the character at present given of the genus, yet the upper lip, and the whole habit of the plant agrees with it. The upper lip is so short, that when the lower is pressed against it, the two are nearly of the same length. At each side of the central lobe of the lower lip is a small gland, as in several other, if not all the species, of Castilleja. The seeds are oblong, acute at each end, and enclosed ina loose reticulated membranous bag, from which, when it is cut, they fall out. Perhaps, however, this bag is the testa. Orv. XXXII. LABIATAL.

Benth. in Linnea, v. 6. p. 80. The leaves are almost an inch long, and nearly the same in breadth. The bractez in the same specimen are sometimes situated near the middle of the peduncles, hence we have doubts if 7.

Benth. in Linnea, v. 6. p. 80. Mr. Bentham farther mentions it to be from three to four inches high. The only specimen in the Col- lection is about eight inches: it differs slightly from the above character, by the leaves not only being not rounded at the base, but decidedly acute. 2. Stachys Chamissonis; caule erecto tetragono angulis pilis rigidis obverse aculeatis, foliis ovatis obtusis crenatis basi cordatis limbo utrinque velutino-lanato, petiolo pilosissimo, floralibus sessilibus ovato-lanceolatis calyce brevioribus, verticillastris sexfloris distantibus, calycibus subsessilibus tubulosis hispido-pilosissimis dentibus ovatis acuminatis subpungenti- bus, corolla tubo recto calyce subduplo superante labio superiore villosissimo. Benth. in Linnea, v. 6. p. 80. We have only seen one specimen, which is about two feet high, and nearly simple. There is also a fragment of an allied species in the Collection, too imperfect to be satisfactorily determined: its character, as far as we can draw it up, is as follows:—caule erecto gracili tetragono, angulis pilis rigidis raris reflexis hispidis, foliis supremis ovatis sessilibus floralibus subrotundo-ovatis basi subiter attenuatis omnibus crenato- dentatis dentibus rotundatis mucronulatis, limbo utrinque molliter breve piloso, verticillastris bifloris distan- tibus, calycibus subsessilibus folio florali triplo brevioribus tubulosis pilosissimis dentibus ovatis acuminatis pungentibus.—This, if new, may be called S. diflora.

B. K. Nov. Gen. et Sp. v. 2. p. 321? The specimens are in bad condition, and only show one or two upper leaves, which may account for the difference between the above character and that given by Kunth. In addition to the above of this Order, there is a specimen of what may probably be a Salvia. Orv. XXXIV. VERBENACEZS. Juss. 1.

H. B. K ? That V. biserrata is the same with V. Caroliniana, as is stated by Sprengel, is rendered probable by there existing a specimen, found by Humboldt, in Willdenow’s Herbarium: the habitat, however, attached to it, according to Schlechtendal and Chamisso, (Linnea, v. 5. p. 98,) being “ Mora in Mexico,” applies more strictly to V. veroniceyolia, which seems to differ from the true V. Caroliniana by the roundish stems. 2. Verbena lasiostachys; caule diffuso hirsuto quadrangulari, foliis cuneato-ovatis sub- incisis duplicato-serratis scabris, spicis filiformibus axillaribus terminalibusque, calycibus patentim pilosis fructiferis conicis attenuatis fructum plus duplo excedentibus bractea hirta longioribus.—Link ?

Two other species are found along with this in the sands of the sea-shore in California, both of which, however, have yellowish flowers: the one is A. latifolia, Eschsch.; foliis latis subovatis obtusis basi acutis, involucro 2-3-phyllo paucifloro.—The other is A. arenaria, Menz.; foliis late cordatis, involucro 5-phyllo multifloro, perianthii limbi laciniis rotundatis undulatis. All the three have glabrous leaves, a persistent involucre, an elongated tube to the perianth, and the stamens unequal in length, and included within its tube: by which they form a distinct section from A. parviflora, H. B. K., where the involucre is deciduous, the tube of the perianth short, the stamens equal in length, and exserted. It is to be regretted, that Esch- scholtz has not given more detailed characters of his A. /atifolia; for with the exception of the colour of the flowers, there being few within the involucre, and the greater breadth of the leaves, which, however, he states to be extremely variable in shape, there is scarcely enough to separate it from A. wmbellata.

Whale-Ship Bay. Sometimes, though rarely, the fascicles of flowers, instead of being arranged in a dense head, are situated singly at the extremities of short branches; this is probably what Sir James Smith means by saying that they are proliferous, and ought perhaps to be viewed as the normal state of the plant: the uniform abbreviations, and almost total disappearance of these little branches, causing the appearance we have above characterised, and which is the common state in the specimens before us. The specimens, how- ever, entirely accord with our original ones from Mr. Menzies. 2, Eriogonum arachnoideum ; caule suffruticoso subprolifero, foliis subradicalibus approxi- matis alternis longe petiolatis ovatis margine undulatis subtus dense tomentosis supra primum arachnoideo-tomentosis demum glabratis, florum fasciculis saepius binis ternisve subumbella- tim secus ramos pedunculi scapiformis communis dispositis, perianthio pedicellisque glabris. —E. arachnoideum.

The flowers are too little advanced to permit us to ascertain whether the pistillum becomes fertile, and the plant consequently hermaphrodite: it however appears to us to be so. The inflorescence and involu- crum are those of a T'etranthera, while the hermaphrodite flowers, and somewhat capitate stigma allies our plant to Ocotea. In one specimen we have observed the remains of the calyx after the drupe has fallen away, from which it appears to be cupuliform, entire, coriaceous, and persistent. The peduncle is monocarpic, or bears but one fruit, and is much shorter than the leaves. Orv. XLII. EUPHORBIACEK. Juss. 1. E. Peplus. Linn.

This belongs to that division of the genus with orbicular and peltate involucres, and to the same groupe with A. auriculatum, from which it is readily distinguished by the above characters.

We have described the position of the flowers of this plant, from the remains of the peduncles and pedicels ; both flowers and fruit have fallen off. The genus, therefore, is very obscure ; it has more the habit of Tacsonia or Passiflora than of the Cucurbitacee, but there are no glands on the leaves or petioles, and the cirrhi are lateral. Orv.

In the other, from Tepic, the flowers are umbellate, from fifteen to thirty in each umbel : these umbels form a corymbose pannicle, the branches of which are covered with a mealy pubescence that is easily rubbed off ; there are five styles, which are united into one to near the middle, the upper portion being recurved.

The stems are leafy to the top, and hence the flowers are axillary.

III. ‘‘ Polygonee spurie.” Indeed all the three are so closely allied, that they may possibly constitute but one species, the only striking difference I can find being that Andrieux’s specimens (which are not very perfect) have singularly dilated footstalks to the leaves. In the n. 117 of Andrieux, there is, on each side of the stem, at the base of the petiole, a rather large transverse stipule ; but in the other specimen, or species, the base of the petiole is continued merely in the form of a slightly elevated line all round the stem, as in our plant. Perhaps the stipules themselves have been very early deciduous. In our specimen, again, there is a slight difference in the flowers, which have three outer leaves of the perianth considerably larger than the rest ; and there are three inner ones, of which one is gene- rally abortive. Our fruit, though fully formed in appearance, contains only an imperfect seed. Tas. LXIX. Fig. 1. Flower; jig. 2. The same, the three outer leaves of the perianth being removed ; Jig. 3.

By a reference to the first page of this work, it will now be seen that we have described, as far as lay in our power, the species of the various collections made during the voyage of H.M.S. Blossom, with the exception of those of Rio Janeiro. This was the first and it was the last place visited by the Naturalists. But the collection is so smail, the speci- mens in such very wretched condition, and those few plants which can be determined so well known, that we think it unnecessary to enumerate them. We believe we shall further the cause of science much more by occupying the remaining pages of our work with a Supplement to the Californian Collection, which we are enabled to do from that made, chiefly at Monterry and San Francisco, (at no great distance from the coast,) by the unfortunate Douglas, as narrated in the Companion to the Botanical Magazine, vol. 2. p- 79, &c.; and from another, very recently sent to us by Mr Tolimie, from the “ Snake Country,” in the interior of California. This is a name given to the vast extent of Prairie through which Lewis’ branch, or the Snake River, holds its course. Fort Hall is situated at the confluence of Blackfoot with Snake River, near Blackfoot Hill, in N. lat. 42° 30’, W. long. 114°. Snake Fort is built at the junction of Reed’s River with the Snake, the position of which is in N. lat. 44° 20’, long. 116° W. ‘The specimens, in beautiful preservation, were gathered, in the summer of 1837, by a friend of Mr Tolmie, who conducted a party from Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia, to the rendezvous of the American Trappers, in the interior of California. Some few of the specimens are from the “ Green River ;” for the meeting of the Beaver Trappers, who, to the number of 500 or 600, are scattered through the Rocky Mountains and adjacent country, was held in that year in the valley of the ** Green River,” a stream which is considered to be probably the main branch of the Rio Colorado, and which empties itself into the Gulf of California. There is not, perhaps, in the whole of North America, a district more interesting to the Botanist than that from which these plants are derived; situated near the western foot of the Rocky Mountains, at an immense distance from the coast, and at a great elevation, as may be inferred from the fact of its being near the sources of two great rivers, the one having its course to the north (into the Columbia), the other to the south (into the Gulf of California); and whose respective windings seem to circumscribe the whole of New California, except that portion of it which is washed by the Pacific Ocean. If other gentlemen attached to the hunting expeditions of the Hudson’s Bay and American Com- panies would thus occupy a portion of their leisure time, we should soon be as well acquainted with the vegetation of the interior of this vast continent as we now are with that of its coasts. 316 CALIFORNIA.—SUPPLEMENT. [Ranunculacee, CALIFORNIA.—SUPPLEMENT. Where not otherwise mentioned, it is to be understood that the following species are from the collection of Mr Douglas. They were presented by the Horticultural Society of London, in whose service Mr Douglas was at the time that he gathered them. Orv. I RANUNCULACEA. Juss. 1. Ranunculus aquatilis.

Torr. et. Gr. Fl. leap. 25. This will rank near &. Chilensis ; from which, however, it is readily discriminated by its smaller size, fewer flowers and petals, more deeply divided leaves, and especially by the tuberculated and hispid carpels. The much more hairy leaves and ecarpels, and the deeply divided leaves, distinguish it from 2. parviflorus, Sm., to which, in other respects, it bears a considerable resemblance. 4. R. dissectus; caule erecto glabriusculo ramoso, foliis radicalibus inferioribusque longe petiolatis bi-tripinnatim sectis hirsutis supremis minus divisis sessilibus, laciniis lineari-lanceolatis acutissimis basi decurrentibus, vaginis elongatis sulcatis hispidissimis, floribus subpaniculatis, calycibus reflexis hispidissimis, petalis 11-14 obovato-oblongis, ovariis stylo brevi recurvato. A species remarkable for the much divided leaves in a pinnated manner, and for the segments being broad and decurrent at the base. The flowers are large, many-petaled. It may be placed near &. orthorhynchus, Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. y. 1. p. 21. t. 9; like which, it has a root formed of many thickish descending fibres. 1. Tsopyrum occidentale ; apetalum, radice —? petiolis basi vix dilatatis, capsulis 6-7 oblongis compressis transversim venosis patentibus stylo filiformi apice recurvo mucrona- tis 8-9 spermis. This appears to belong to the Enemion of Rafinesque and De Candolle, which I can only consider as an apetalous Isopyrum. From Hnemion biternatum, which I still think may prove a var. of J. thalic- troides, the present one differs in the smaller sepals, scarcely dilated base of the petioles, and especially in the more numerous capsules, and their different figure and direction, and the number of seeds: in the Ranunculacee. | CALIFORNIA.—SUPPLEMENT. 317 Enemion triternatum, the capsules are only two or three in number, reflexed, broadly ovate, with two or three oblique veins, two- or at most three-seeded, tapering gradually into a Jong recurved style. This also seems to be the structure of the fruit of Zsop. thalictroides, judging from Jacquin’s figure (Iv. Austr. t. 105), for iny own specimens of that species do not possess the fructification. 1.

In the Californian plant, which is, I think, identical as to species with the D. grandiflorum of Siberia and China, the upper petals are yellow, the lower ones with the yellow spot less distinct than in the variety of the Old World, and the leaves have shorter and thicker segments. In one of our specimens, the whole of the petals are variegated, dingy yellow and blue. 2. D. (Delphinastrum, pet. inf. limbo bifido) azureum.— Ma. Fl. Am. v. 1. p. 314. Delessert, Ic.

Of this variety, which differs from Mr Douglas’ in no essential particular, except in the shorter spur, there are two states in the collection ; one with the stem and leaves downy, the other quite glabrous. In all, the form and relative size of the petals are the same; and I cannot agree with those botanists who have multiplied the species of the Genera Delphinium and Aconitum upon the slightest possible grounds, Perhaps indeed Messrs Torrey and Gray are right in referring this to D. Menziesit. 5. D.
