ur previous knowledge of the general external features and

Dr. Parry had the good luck to discover this very peculiar and exclusively
alpine species “ which does not descend lower than 9000 or 10,000 feet,”
on the higher mountains of Clear Creek. As a full description and a
figure has been given in the Transactions of the St. Louis Academy, I
confine myself here to the statement that it is our only representative of

Prefatory Note, by A. Gray.—Nuttall, in his Genera, vee te that
Pursh had confounded two species under @. a lbicaulis, viz., his own @,

sohiited the specimens to G. coronopifolia, on account of their seeds, not-
withstanding their longer capsules, over looking the other characters and
wrongly supposing that Nuttall’s description of the seeds o . pin-
an ifida or Bradburiana somehow belonged to @. ¢ ornopioia, which,
1 had shown in PI. Fendlerianz, has such seeds, while tho: ai-
Dicaulis are longer and smooth. Dr. Engelmann ‘has soos corrected
this oversight, and in the following memorandum has established the the three
species upon oe foundation. I greatly doubt the distinctions =

An senna account by Dr. Parry of his first explorations of the Rocky

in th ic ournal of Science and Arts, 62° This was -

enterprisin; cal companions, Messrs. Hall and Harbour, of Illinois, who
devoted their entire energies to the collection of plants. The botanical col-
lection, accordingly, through these conjoint labors and explorations, is full,

to science or new to the region, it brings to light and makes accessible to bot-
generally, y late Mr. Nuttall’s discoveries st thirty

herbarium of the Academy, in that of Mr. Durand, at Philadel Iphia, and
