Willamette valley; May, in flower ; from Dr. Evans. ‘ ; Pamonta Brown, Dougl.; Torr. & Gray, Flor. N. Amer. 1, p. 41. P. Californica, Nutt. Cascade mountains, Oregon; lat. 44° 30’. The flowers of this plant are erect, but when the seed is nearly ripe the stalks which support — the carpels curve downward and outward until the carpels themselves rest on the ground accurately inverted. The dehiscence of the carpels takes place at the summit, and the bean-like seeds are carefully deposited on the*ground and roofed over by the persistent carpels, probably through the winter. On the banks of Mpto-ly-as river, near the base of Mount Jefferson, Oregon, at an altitude of 5,000 feet, in September, I found large surfaces covered with this plant, which had already been touched by the frost. Of the hundreds of clusters of pods, all were inverted and resting on the ground, completely covering the seed, which had generally fallen out. The carpels are from 3 to 5 in a cluster, the number varying in the same plant. Actma Sprcata, Linn. VAR RUBRA, Bigelow, Flor. Bost. ed. 2d, p. 211. Cascade mountains ; lat. 44° 12’, BERBERIDACEA.

Klamath marsh is half covered by the floating leaves. The seeds, which fill the large pods, are larger than those of the eastern plant, and form an important article of subsistence among the Indians. We saw many hundred bushels of the pods collected for winter use. The seed tastes like that of the broom corn, and is apparently very nutritious. VIOLACEZ. Viota apunca, Smith in Rees’ Cycl.; Hook.

Seed suspended from near the summit. ** Although so well marked by the characters above cited, this plant and the two of the pro- posed first section evidently belong to the same genus, and that intermediate between Horkelia and Potentilla. The first section is more like Horkelia, from which the 20 stamens with fili- form filaments (instead of 10 with broad or deltoid filaments) distinguish it. The second, except as to the foliage, resembles Potentilla, but is distinguished by its definite stamens in three ranks, &c. Dr. Torrey indicated the essential characters of this genus several years ago, but allowed the two species then known to him to be provisionally appended to Horkelia, Dr. Newberry’s discovery, however, renders it necessary to complete the separation. The present name is chosen to commemorate one of the oldest surviving botanists of the United States, the venerable Dr. Eli Ives, formerly professor of materia medica and pharmacy in Yale College, who, although he has published little directly upon botany, has rendered excellent service as a teacher of the science to a long series of pupils.’’ A.

This is one of the most interesting plants of Dr. New- ; berry’s collection, and I have great pleasure in proposing that the species shall bear his name. It opportunely confirms a genus, still unpublished, (but likely soon to be given to the world,) which I characterized two years ago in manuscript, and which was founded on a single specimen of a stem or peduncle, destitute of foliage, but bearing several heads. The floral characters | ~~~ TTT aie eS _ BOTANY. . 17 forbid us to refer it to any known genus, and it was, therefore, dedicated to Dr. G. W. Hulse, of Louisiana, a zealous cultivator of botany, who gathered it in the mountains of the southern part of California, back of San Diego, and sent the specimen to his friend and correspondent, Dr. Torrey. The characters of the genus, and the distinctive marks (so far as known) of the original species, are here appended. The present plant is only three or four inches high, ex- cluding the slender shoot or root-stock, which rises through the loose scoria in which it grows. Hutssa, Torr. & Gray, in Bot.

Upper Des Chutes valley ; September. The addition of a new genus to the small order or sub-order Monotropee, is a matter of no small interest ; and this, founded on a fragmentary, but yet an adequate specimen, is the third which has come to our knowledge from the Pacific border of the United States.* The plant has much the aspect of a Monotropa of the section Hypopitys ; but is remarkable for bearing its flowers in a dense, terminal, nearly hemispherical head. Each flower is subtended by a scaly bract, nearly like the scales of the stem, and about as long as the corolla. The outer flowers appear to be all tetramerous and octandrous, like the lower ones of Hypopitys, but some of the inner ones have a 5-lobed corolla, and, I believe, 10 stamens. A pair of narrowly-linear persistent lateral bractlets represent the calyx. The scarious-membranaceous corolla is urceolate- % Namely, Sarcodes of Torrey, (which is admirably illustrated in the Plante Frémontiane, p. 17, plate 10, and which was near the same time published in California by Dr. Kellogg, under the name of Plerosporopsis,) and Allotropa, the single known species of which Allotropa virgata, Torr, & Gray, ined. was gathered on the Cascade mountains of northern Oregon, by Dr. BOTANY. 81 tubular in the flowers inspected, which are all much passed anthesis; it is probably more tubular at first, but is afterwards swollen out below by the enlargement of the gravid ovary. The estivation could not be made out. The greatest peculiarity of the plant is found in the anthers, which are one-celled through obliteration; the missing cell being reduced to a narrow longitudinal ridge, almost continuous with the filament. This ridge is bipartible, if not splitting spontaneously, into two narrow lamelli, in a manner answering well to the normally longitudinal dehiscence of the fertile cell. It may possibly even contain a few grains of pollen, but probably none. This remarkable semi-castration has suggested the generic name.* In the total absence of a disk, and in the elongated style, our plant accords with Sarcodes. The pervious stigma and style and the imperfect calyx are points which connect it more closely with Monotropa, of which it has the general aspect. There are indications that the fruit is baccate. It is difficult to make out the structure of the ovary clearly, nor is there much material to be sacrificed in the endeavor. I think, however, that our analysis is not far wrong. If correct, we have a curious anomaly in the ovary of the present plant, namely: besides the four (or in some cases five?) normal cells, there is an axile cell equally and profusely ovuliferous throughout, and reminding one of the ovary of Obolaria (Chloris, Bor.-Amer. p. 21, t. 3) and of Bartonia, (Man. Bot. Northern United States, ed. 2, p. 347.) As will be seen from the framing of the generic character, I take this to be of the same nature as the central cavity in the ovary of Martynia. I trust further specimens may duly come to hand, and confirm or correct this view of the structure of the ovary. Plate XIII. Hemrromes coneestum.—The plant of the natural size. Fig. 1.

Sides of Lassen’s butte, N. Cal., July. PENTSTEMON GLAUCIFOLIUS (sp. nov.): glaberrimus, glaucus; caule confertim folioso basi ramoso (1-2 pedali;) foliis crassiusculis integerrimis acutatissimis lanceolatis oblongisve in petiolem brevem attenuatis, ceteris semi-amplexicaulibus plerumque cordato-ovatis vel e basi sub-cordata ovato-lanceolatis ; panicula virgata multiflora; pedunculis folia floralia superan- tibus fvlioso-bibracteatis 1-3-floris; calycis segmentis ovatis subacuminatis; corolla azurea sesquipolicari sursum ampliata ; filamento sterili apice dilatato hirtello. Fort Reading, on the Sacramento river, California. Cauline leaves 1-13 inches long, about 3 inch wide at the clasping base, tapering to the acute apex; the floral similar, gradually decreasing in size; bractlets also foliaceous. Anthers hispid-ciliate, also hirsute at the inser- tion. Calyx nearly as in the broader-sepalled form of P. heterophyllus. A most elegant and showy species, which I should have referred to Bentham’s P. azuwreus from his character, except that the sterile filament is not glabrous, and in my specimen of Hartweg’s, No. 1879, the leaves are all rather narrowly lanceolate: indeed I cannot distinguish that plant from P. heterophyllus. It is possible that Mr. Bentham had the two plants, and drew the characters of the foliage from our present plant, aud of the sterile filament from the allied P. heterophyllus. If the sparing beard of the sterile filament cannot be relied upon, and the two run together, then the variable species well deserves the name of heterophyllus. PENTSTEMON GRACILENTUS (sp. nov.): glaber; caule tenero subpedali adscendente; foliis integerrimis inferioribus oblongo-lanceolatis in petiolum longiusculum attenuatis, superioribus paucis augusto-linearibus sessilibus, floralibus lineari-setaceis ; panicula laxa subsimplici ; cymis pedunculatis 3-5-floris; calycibus pedicellisque equelongis pubero-glandulosis, segmentis oblongo-lanceolatis breviter acuminatis ; corolla tubuloso-infundibuliformi subbilabiata coerulea staminibusque glaberrimis ; filamento sterili filiformi superne obsoletissimi barbato. At the base of Lassen’s butte, N. California. Lower leaves about two inches long, and with a petiole about one inch long; the upper few, and gradually reduced to slender bracts ; corolla slender, half an inch long; anthers intermediate in structure between those of the sections Eupentstemon and Saccanthera, glabrous, except a minute denticulate ciliation at the line of dehiscence. PENTSTEMON NEWBERRYI (sp. nov.): fruticosus, glaber, caespitoso-procumbens; foliis ovali- bus seu ovato-oblongis sub-coriaceis crebre serrulatis, caulinis obtusis basi in petiolum contractis summis sessilibus acutis; racemo 7-11-floro; calycis segmentis lanceolatis sensim acuminatis pedicellum eequantibus; corolla punicea tubulosa belabiata, labio, inferiore patente trifido intus lineis 2 barbato; staminibus sub-exsertis; antheris (praesertim ad margines) lanatis ; filamento sterili brevi filiformi longitudinaliter parce barbato. (Plate XIV.) On rocks, forming broad tufts near Mount St. Joseph’s, N. California. A well marked species of the section Elmigera, but with woolly anthers. Leaves turning blackish in drying.
