INTRODUCTION.

BY G. C. PARRY, M. D:

GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION.

Every observing traveller must have noticed how closely the peculiarities of the scenery of a
country depend upon its vegetable productions. Not only is this true of trees and the larger
forms of plants, but even the humbler, though apparently insignificant in themselves, have
their share in producing the general effect. Hence the subject of the geographical distribution
of plants is one which may command the attention of every intelligent mind, and this depart-
ment of botany has for many an interest which the higher details of the science do not possess.

Perhaps no region of equal extent presents more marked illustrations of the relation of the
vegetation of a country to its topography and geology than those afforded by that lying alonz
the Mexican boundary line.

The usually difficult task of constructing a phytological map might here be performed with
comparative ease, as the observer, little perplexed by a great variety or gradual blending of
forms, involuntarily associates particular localities with the predominating and characteristic
vegetable productions. Thus one who has ever traversed the desert table lands of the Upper Rio
Grande will not fail to unite in his recollection of these tracts the dull foliage of the Creosote
bush, the long thorny wands of the Fouquieria, the palm-like Yucca, and the crimson-flowered
and spine-armed Cereus. Still less can any one, who has seen the giant cactus of the Gila in
its perfection, ever forget the wild and singular features of the country in which it grows. The
distinctness with which the botanical districts are defined gives an unpleasant sameness to the
scenery of this country. The extensive plains exhibit a monotonous succession of the same
forms, and each mountain slope and ravine presents us a collection of plants quite like those
we have so often seen in other and similar localities. Indeed, the botanist in these regions,
knowing what to expect in each different situation, soon loses his zeal, and becomes intent upon
little else than overcoming space. |

We propose to give a rapid sketch of the features presented by the vegetation of the country,
especially noticing those plants which predominate їп, and give character to, the several districts
into which we have divided it.

THE LOWER MARITIME BELT.

The flora of this strip of country is too well known to require an account here, had we the
necessary data for describing its characteristic botanical productions. Its position being
intermediate between the “tierra caliente” of Mexico and the gulf coast of Louisiana, gives to
its vegetation a mixed character, partaking of that of the two extremes. Thus, while upon the

— lower portion of the Rio Grande, we have the sub-tropical character of its vegetation indicated
22222. by the presence of the arborescent palms of the ‘‘ tierra caliente," we have at the same time the
: 5 Texas live-oak, the type of a more northern flora. This region has been more thoroughly

х ri ‘explored by A. F. Schott, esq., whose observations upon its botany and other natural features :
a . will be found in a separate memoir.

UPPER MARITIME BELT.

2 im Е То the lower belt, which has an uniform alluvial soil, and is more or less influenced by its
Е - :Vicinity to salt water, succeeds rolling prairies, underlaid by cretaceous rocks, which now for
©. the first time appear, though more or less hidden from view by a thick layer of erratic and

Эр B = ‘alluvial deposits. This division includes, as we have already noticed, the most habitable parts
Er = of Texas, through which run the numerous rivers which empty into the Gulf of Mexico. Here
E 2 we find rich cotton lands, and an abundance of trees, including species of oak, hickory, ash,
.. elm, walnut, cypress, &c., with an exceedingly rich undergrowth of vines and shrubbery. The

_.. open prairies are densely covered with luxuriant grasses, and have a rich and varied flora,
Эн which has been well explored Бу the early labors of Drummond, and later by those of Linct-

x heimer and Wright. Upon the southern portion of the Rio Grande, where there is a higher
si .temperature, united with greater aridity of the soil, a vegetation of quite a different character

: ёс appears; we have here the dense growth of ** chapparral," which is so peculiar to this region.

| 22 The plants which make up the thick шавв of shrubbery known Бу this name are different

E E HES species of mimosa and acacia, with the well known mezquit and other forms, most of which are
. armed with hooked thorns, and make up a jungle which is almost impenetrable.
224 The botany of this region is too well known, from various published accounts, to require -

- i =>. further details in this place. |

VEGETATION ОЕ THE CRETACEOUS FORMATION.

As the geological formation becomes more exclusively cretaceous the vegetation assumes a

|. peculiar character, and is made up of species which are rarely found elsewhere. The shrubbery | 3

ume of this region presents a continuous succession of the same forms, among which are Berberis .
pu. trifoliolata, Rhus microphylla, Porliera angustifolia, Diospyros Texana, Roeberlinia spinosa,
22 Adolphia infesta, Microrhamnus ericoides, and Acanthoceltis, a new genus of Engelmann, allied
to Celtis, Along the margins of the usually dry water courses the dwarf walnut (Juglans
rupestris) and Fallugia paradoxa are constantly found.
_ The perennial herbaceous plants of this district are numerous. The rocky ledges produce in
^. their crevices various species of Laphamia and the scarlet flowered Pentstemon Grahamii, Several
223 = examples of the large tropical family of Malpighiacee are found here, among them Galphimia
` `- linifolia, Aspicarpa hyssopifolia, and Janusia gracilis. Cacti are numerous, and include among
the forms here presented opuntias, mammillarias, and numerous species of cereus. The curious
: - Lycopodium dendrolobium grows upon the perpendicular faces of the limestone rocks. This
`. plant commonly called “rock rose,” is remarkable for the hygrometric qualities of its fronds,
. which are usually rolled up so that the plant forms a dry ball, which expands under the
influence of moisture, and then appears fresh and vigorous. Several new species of Cheilanthes,
es iris i зэв her certe of ferns are в found hie:

situations upon the "ИЕНЕН faces of the limestone ledges. Pa ied

VEGETATION OF THE HIGHER BASIN PLAINS AND THE ADJOINING MOUNTAIN RIDGES. zr ^ir :

The higher alluvial tracts, forming the basin plains before described, produce a number of
northern forms of plants, such as species of GZnothera, Gaura, Riddellia, Zinnia, and Polygala: |
We also find here the curious Peganum Mexicanum and Peteria scoparia, the latter a pretty
plant of the family Leguminose. The depressions in this alluvial region are covered with a
coarse grass, which presents an uniform dead brown color throughout the greater part of the |
суваг. In the deep recesses and shaded valleys, the vegetation has a freshness unknown to that |
of the plains. In these localities we encounter the upland live oak (Quercus /тотуї, and the |
nut pine, (Pinus edulis,): and growing beneath these, Vitis incisa, Clematis Pitcheri, Ungnadia
speciosa, &c. The constant presence of water in the larger valleys is marked by the growth of ^
cotton wood and willows. 33

borders upon the valley is broken by deep ravines, and we find here upon the sandy blufis a
growth of chaparral, made up principally of mezquit and the equally thorny acacias. In the
dry pebbly water courses, the willow-leaved Chilopsis linearis frequently occurs. Many of the
already mentioned plants of the table land are found here, besides others, which are peculiar to
these localities, such as Dithyre wislizenti, Abronia mellifera, Gilia longiflora, Lepidium
alyssoides, Gaillardia pinnatifida, Раїајохіа Hookeriana and Tetraclea Wrightii, a singular
genus of Verbenaceae, recently described by Dr. Gray. In the valley of the Rio Grande we
frequently find a heavy growth of cotton wood and willows. The ‘‘ screw bean,” Strombocarpa
pubescens, often occupies large tracts, accompanied by a dense undergrowth of Baccharis salicina.
The low saline places produce an abundance of Obione canescens, while on the higher ground,
Tessaria borealis is a common plant.

A number of coarse composite plants are found in the valley, such as T'ezmenia encelioides,
Coreopsis cardaminefolia and Aster spinosus, the latter often forming dense matted masses of
considerable extent.

The rocky crevices of the adjoining mountains furnish some of the most interesting plants of
this region. We here find Fendleria rupicola, Mortonia crassifolia, Glossopetalon spinescens,
Agenia parvifolia, Bouvardia hirtella, Tecoma stans, Texmenia brevifolia, &c.

The higher mountains of the Organ range have a vegetation possessing a somewhat alpine
character, and bear a scattering growth of pines and oaks, beneath which flourish a number of
shrubby and herbaceous plants, quite similar to those found upon the more lofty ranges further
to the west.

VEGETATION OF THE SIERRA MADRE.

As we approach the base of the Sierra Madre, passing over the extensive basin-plain
already described, a gradual increase in the elevation is marked by a disappearance of those
plants, which were common lower down, and the presence of others wearing a more alpine
aspect. The surface is less bare than upon the plain below, and is covered with a closely matted
grass, which gives a singularly rounded outline to the undulating land around the base of the
mountain. Along the lower rocky swells grows the beautiful Carphochete Bigelovii, with
Anemone Caroliniana, Streptanthus linearifolius, Pentstemon Torreyi and Fendleri are among
the characteristic plants of these localities. There are but few shrubby plants, several species
of Ephedra being among the most conspicuous. The streams are bordered by Fraxinus velutinus
and Juglans rupestris, (the large variety,) and in moist places an old Californian acquaintance,
Anemiopsis Californica makes its appearance.

Upon the mountains oaks and pines are found, mostly Quercus Emoryi and Pinus edulis,
though in certain localities there is larger timber, consisting of Pinus Chihuahuana and Abies
Douglasti, The smaller woody growth here includes several species belonging to thé Californian
mountain flora, such as Cercocarpus parvifolius and Arctostaphylos tomentosus.

Upon the summit of Ben More, further to the north, Dr. Bigelow discovered many plants
indicative of an alpine flora, among these were Frasera speciosa, Rubus Neo-mexicanus, Actinella
Richardsonii, and, perhaps, most remarkable of all, a small fern, Asplenium septentrionale, an
European species not before detected on this continent.

The abrupt descent through Guadaloupe pass, upon the western slope of the ridge, presents
a profusion of evergreen shrubs and flowering plants, including most of those which occur on

INTRODUCTION. 13

the summit ridge. Live oaks grow upon the rocky sides of the ravines, and with them is
frequently associated a species of cedar. Among the more interesting of the herbaceous plants
found here, are Dryopetalon runcinatum, Vesicarie, and Colomie, The narrow valley of the
stream which runs through the bottom of the Pass is wooded with ash, cotton wood, and Mexican
sycamore.

VEGETATION OF THE UPPER VALLEYS OF SAN BERNADINO, SAN PEDRO, AND SANTA CRUZ WITH THAT OF
THE ADJOINING MOUNTAIN RANGES,

The country embraced in the above limits, includes that portion of Northern Sonora,
which divides the waters which flow north towards the Gila river from those whose course is
south, towards the Gulf of California. It is, as we have before stated, diversified with high
wooded mountains and upland plains, well watered valleys and dry and barren tracts. The
arborescent growth is not esseutially different from that we have noticed in speaking of the
other divisions of country. Live oaks, the nut pine, cedar, ash, walnut and cotton wood are
produced either upon the mountains or in the upland valleys. Its plains are covered with an
uniform growth of upland grama grass, or in the more arid localities by mezquit and its thorny
associates. This region furnishes a number of singular and highly interesting genera and
species, most of which are described by Dr. Gray, in the second part of ** Plantae Wrightiane,’’
in the Smithsonian Contributions. A reference to this work will give a better idea of the
character and distribution of the flora of this district than our limits will allow us. As it
occupies a station between several botanical divisions, so its flora partakes of that of those
regions. The following list of some of the plants found here will be seen to embrace species
belonging to California, Texas, Mexico, and New Mexico, viz: Lschscholtzia douglasii,
Zauschneria Californica, Eulobus Californicus, Bowlesia tenera, Anemone Caroliniana, Draba
caroliniana, Corydalis aurea, Androsace — Rutosma texana, Erodium texanum,
Layia Neo-mexicana, Cowania Mexicana.

VEGETATION OF THE LOWER SANTA CRUZ VALLEY, THE DESERT OF TUCSON, AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY
OF THE GILA,

The region defined as above constitutes a very distinct botanical district, many of its peculiar
plants not being found elsewhere, As we have mentioned in a previous sketch, the valley of the
Santa Cruz, as it leaves the mountains in its northward course towards the Gila, gradually
looses its fertile character, and finally terminates in the desert plain which forms the table land
of the Gila. The vegetation of this tract comprises many of the forms which are found on all
the barren plains of the country. Here, as in similar situations elsewhere, the mezquit and
the creosote bush are conspicuous. Cacti are abundant here, and of various types. There are
the low arborescent Opuntias, generally bearing proliferous fruit, as well as several elliptical-
stemmed species. The enormous Echinocactus wislizenii and Caespitose mammillarius and Cerei

“аге common, while, either standing solitary or collected in groups, the lofty Cereus giganteus
towers above all. А species of misletoe is common upon the mezquit trees of this region.

The sheltered crevices of the neighboring mountains produce a species of agave, and i in these
localities we find Franseria deltoidea, Encelia farinosa, and Perityle nuda.

VEGETATION OF THE RIO GRANDE, CANONS, AND THE CONNECTED BASINS,

The flora of the caiions of the Rio Grande differs but little from that of the mountain ravines
28 : ES have already alluded to. "We find stunted shrubs rooted in the crevices of the rocks or
2 ` scattered along the broken summits. The abrupt walls, whether of limestone or of igneous
E rock, afford favorable places for the growth of such plants as affect inaccessible localities. Here
ss. we meet two species of the well characterized genus Laphamia, viz: L. dissecta and L. bisetosa ;
E : also Perityle aglossa and L. Parryi, the pretty Eucnide lobata, Cowania ericifolia, and emoryi, a

. In the more extensive basin of Presidio del Norte the flora partakes of the character of that
cof Mexico, and more tropical forms prevail. We find here Kallstroemia grandiflora, Martynia
Pl violacea, 1 M. arenaria, Talinopsis frutescens, Nicolettia Edwardsii, and several species of Boerhaavia.

habit, and grows along the gravelly margins of dry water courses. The Sierra Carmel, upon E
the summits of which we should expect to meet with many botanical novelties, was passed, in
necessarily hurried march, in the month of November. Under these circumstances but little
information could be obtained respecting its flora. Live oaks and the nut pine grew upon the
higher ridges, and its upland plains and valleys were covered with luxuriant grama grass. The

“beautiful Santa Rosa valley is marked by the most attractive scenery. Its broad and fertile

plains, with copious streams, bordered by gigantic cypress, sycamore, and pecan trees, with a

s back ground of high mountains, form a landscape upon which the traveller, wearied by the
БЕ ‘monotony of the sterile table lands, gazes with the keenest enjoyment.

AGRICULTURAL CAPACITIES.

We have attempted to give a sketch of the external features and spontaneous vegetation of |
the region of country along the United States and Mexican boundary line. It now remains to.

notice its adaptation to agriculture, and our remarks regarding this may all be embraced in one
general conclusion.

Wherever the supply of water is constant, and sufficient fcr the purposes of irrigation, ог

wherever the regular overflow of the rivers can be relied upon to supply the amount of moisture
required for the growth of crops, independently of the rains, in those places, and in those only,
can agriculture be pursued with success.

The portions of the country best suited to cultivation are those which are capable of irrigation.

For these the supply of water is obtained, not only from the larger rivers, as the Rio Grande

and Gila, in which the head of water is increased by the construction of dams, but springs and

small water courses, these often lving in mountainous situations, are laid under tribute.
In the course of the preceding sketch we have noticed’ the fact that the lower portions of the
numerous valleys are of a sterile and unproductive character, for the reason that the water of

the streams is absorbed before it reaches the portions which lie farther below, where, instead of -

a running stream, we only find a sandy bed, with the adjoining region unfit for the purposes of
cultivation.

Those places which are supplied with the necessary moisture by the overflow of the rivers
have a still more precarious dependence than those where irrigation is practiced. In these the

quantity of water cannot be regulated, and they are exposed to the two extremes of scarcity or ;

superabundance. One of the best examples of this system of cultivation is seen at Presidio

del Norte, where the Concho unites with the Rio Grande. As these two rivers have different

periods of high water the inhabitants are enabled to frequently secure two crops from the same

"INTRODUCTION. т

р

fields in one season. In order to accomplish this the first crop, depending upon the overflow of |

the Rio Grande, must be sown and harvested in time to admit of the planting of the second
crop, depending upon the later rise of the Concho. All this depends upon so many contingent

circumstances that it is oftener attended by disappointment than by success, and, between the `

extremes of flood and drought, the people frequently suffer for want of food.

We have already noticed that a large extent of country, though destitute of streams to supply -
the water required in cultivation, receives from the atmosphere and clouds, in the form of dew | «

and rain, sufficient moisture to permit the growth of the richest pasturage, and we have large
districts of unequalled grazing lands, so broad and so abounding in herbage as to compensate

for their deficiencies in other respects. Here the buffalo and antelope have already given place |
to wild cattle and horses, and we look for the time when these shall yield in their turn 49 |
domesticated flocks and herds, denoting that nomadic barbarism has been — by oe
civilization, with its ameliorating influences. a ee

Many large tracts of this country must ever remain as deserts, being alike destitute of Boe 2
vegetable and mineral resources ; but even these otherwise valueless regions are the very portions 0 2
which present the fewest impediments to travelling, and, indeed, form natural highways to 0 -

otherwise inaccessible parts of е country. e

habitable condition of different sections of the country, will be dwelt on by others, or may be
left to inference from what has been already noted.

BOTANICAL FEATURES.

The general botanical features of the region under examination next claim our attention,
and in elucidating them, we shall be guided by the great natural divisions of country already
indicated, as these furnish us plain lines of demarcation for separate botanical districts. Thus,

` there is a group of plants growing in the immediate vicinity of the sea, and which characterize

“the Littoral Region; above these, and confined more or less closely to the base of the mountains,
is found another group indicating the Supra-Littoral Region; next to this, in the ascending
order, is what may be termed the Lower Mountain Region, with a still different vegetation; and
lastly, the Proper Mountain Region, producing plants peculiar to elevated localities.

LITTORAL PLANTS.

Among the exclusively littoral plants, some are common to the seacoast of nearly all
countries; and these, such as the common Salicornia, are found here, and it is our intention to
notice only those which are peculiar to this particular coast. We mention, first of all, two
species of Abronia, (A. arenaria and A. umbellata,) which spread their trailing branches over
the sand dunes which edge the sea-shore, and with their abundant foliage and beautiful
umbelled flowers, give relief to the barren features of the landscape.

Growing with the Abronias a species of ice-plant (Mesembryanthemum) is frequently found.
This has spreading succulent stems and triangular leaves. Its showy, though evanescent, pink
flowers appear only in bright sun-light, and are succeeded by an edible, juicy fruit. In the
same region, though less closely confined to the sea-beach, is another species of this genus,
probably identical with the well known M. crystallinum. Неге it is an annual, attaining its full
size in the month of June, when it may be seen in large patches several rods in extent, pre-
senting a thick bed of showy flowers. The leaves and stems are beset with shining glandular
little warts, which contain a strongly saline fluid. The flowers, which are ephemeral and very
abundant, appear in regular succession from June to August. After the flowering period the
plant withers and dries up, leaving a thick mat of seed vessels, which remain closed until the
commencement of the rainy season ; the hygrometric tissue of the capsule then expands, under
the influence of moisture, and the enclosed seeds escape and commence germinating. The dry
remains of the plant are frequently burned for the sake of the ashes, which, being strongly
alkaline, are used in making soap. Both the species here mentioned are so characteristic of the
` ` places they occupy that they would seem to be indigenous, but it is generally thought by
fe botanists that they are introduced.
| Among other plants characteristic of this region are GZnothera viridescens, (Hook.,) F'ranseria
bipinnatifida, and a species of Statice, which grows near the head of San Diego bay, and seems
hardly distinct from 5. Limonium.

The common Salicornia here acquires a shrubby growth, and is frequently entwined with a
species of Dodder, and accompanying it is found a new species of Batis, to which Dr. Torrey
has given the name of B. Californica. Frankenia grandifolia grows here abundantly, associated
with Layia carnosa, Aromia tenuifolia, and Tuckermannia. Among the shrubs peculiar to this

1 Ane Ж UEP" ok =>” x

INTRODUCTION, 17

region may be noticed Styphonia serrata, with its thick evergreen leaves and Obione canescens,
which is very abundant. А species of Lycium, with yellow flowers and red berries, is also
conspicuous. This brief enumeration will serve to give a general idea of the characteristic
vegetation of what we have termed the Littoral Region.

SUPRA-LITTORAL REGION.

Leaving the salt water, to the influence of which the characteristics of the preceding region
are due, we come to the Supra-Littoral district, which presents a more striking variety in its
vegetable forms.

This region includes a large proportion of shrubbery, to which, as it imparts peculiar features
to the scenery, we shall especially direct our attention.

Before enumerating the plants which make up this woody growth, we would remark, that
nearly all the shrubs of this region are inclined to form a stunted and bushy growth, which is
evidently caused by exposure to dry seasons and sea breezes. There is also to be noted a leaden
color of foliage, which does not depend upon the abundant growth of 4riemisic, most of which

possess this tint, but is common to а large proportion of the shrubs of this region. Both of

these peculiarities of the vegetation have their influencé upon the character of the landscape.

One of the most striking shrubs is Eriogonum fasciculatum, a neat evergreen, with small pink
flowers, disposed in crowded umbels at the summit of prolonged stalks. Its season of flowering
is during the midsummer, and it is generally characteristic of arid and barren tracts, Zsomeris
arborea (Nutt.) is frequently associated with this plant, and is distinguished by its yellow flowers
and singular bladder-shaped pods. Here is also found Rhus aromatica, (Nutt.,) which frequently
acquires quite an arborescent growth and occupies extensive tracts. It is clothed with shining
evergreen leaves, which resemble those of the holly and-exhale a strong odor like that of laurel.
We also meet with Photinia arbutifolia, a handsome and often symmetrically formed shrub.
This has rich evergreen foliage and beautiful bunches of white flowers, which are succeeded by
scarlet berries, In favorable localities this sometimes attains the height of twenty feet, with a
trunk six inches in diameter at the base. Another shrub deserving especial notice is Simmondsia
californica, (Nutt.,) which has persistent leaves of a pale green color, and inclined to assume a
vertical position. The plant is dioecious ; the mature fruit is about the size of a hazel nut, and
has a thin smooth three-valved husk, which separates spontaneously when ripe, disclosing a
brown triangular kernel. This fruit, though edible, can hardly be termed palatable ; its taste
is somewhat intermediate between that of the filbert and acorn. It is, however, employed by
the Indians as an article of diet, and is called by them ‘‘jajoba.’’ The range of the Simmondsia
extends to the base of the mountains, and it is found again, in similar situations, upon the
eastern side, though less abundantly, as well as in the upper valley of the Gila, where it was
detected by Major Emory, in 1846. Besides the shrubs above enumerated, the Artemisia
Californica i is widely diffused over this region ; this is employed by the Mexicans as а popular
remedy against cholera, under the name of ** Estafiat."'

On the San Diego promontory there is a dense and intricate growth of shrubbery, to which
both the people from the town and from the shipping have for a long time resorted for fuel.
The greater proportion is furnished by Zriodictyon, which is a large shrub of from eight to
twelve feet in height, with a diameter of from two to four inches. The wood is very close-
grained, but brittle, ЗЭ is charged with a resinous matter, which causes it (0 burn readily, even

when green. In this locality are also found the beautiful Ceanothus rigidus, Pitavia dumosa,
Adenostoma fasciculata, and a species of scrub oak, all forming dense thickets.

We must not omit to mention the Cactacew, which here present species of all the extra
tropical genera, as remarked by Dr. Engelmann in his memoir upon this family. "These plants,
from their striking and singular forms, impart a characteristic feature to the region they inhabit.

А new species of pine is peculiar to the district now under consideration. It occupies an arid
tract near the ocean beach, about twelve miles north of San Diego, at the entrance to Solidad
valley. In this locality (the only one in which it has been found) it forms a small sized tree,
with rather open foliage. It is particularly distinguished by its long fascicles of leaves, which
are in fives, and its large ponderous cones. This species, the specific characters of which will be
found more fully described in the following list, I have ventured to designate, in compliment to
a distinguished American botanist, as Pinus Torreyana.

Along the borders of the streams which traverse this Supra-Littoral district are found the
common cotton-wood, (Populus angustata,) the Platanus Mexicanus, and, in the lower portion of
the San Luis Rey valley, an Alnus; these, with various species of willow, make up the proper
timber growth of this region. The undergrowth in these localities consists mainly of coarse
representatives of the order Composite, conspicuous among which are several shrubby species of
Baccharis. In moist places Anemiopsis Californica is frequently met with, and where the soil is
rich the surface is covered by a rank growth of wild mustard (Sinapis nigra) and mallows,
(Malva obtusa.)

The herbaceous and annual plants of this region are so numerous that we can only allude to
a few of the more striking and characteristic.

It is in the latter part of winter and during the earlier spring months that California puts on
her richest floral garb. Then the arid hills assume an aspect far different from their desert-like
summer appearance. In February the moistened ground becomes arrayed in an assemblage of
varied tints. The pale blossom of the elegant Dodecatheon integrifolium nod on every hill side,
blue Lupines and rainbow colored Gilias deck the ground, and various ferns and mosses appear.
The Ribes speciosum hangs its scarlet pendants, and the rich yellow flowers of Viola pedunculata
are abundant everywhere. Even the numerous northern genus Saxifraga is represented here
by more than one species. A large number of Hydrophyllacee, including species of Nemophila,
Phacelia, and Eutoca, are among the early tokens of spring, while the orange colored flowers of
Escholizia, the pale blooms of Platystemon, and the pink ones of Meconopsis, show that the
poppy family contribute largely to make up the vernal flora. Among the twiners are a species
of Clematis that is either new or a variety of C. pauciflora and Megarrhiza Californica of Torrey ;
the latter plant, which hangs its prickly burs from almost every bush, is remarkable for the
enormous size of its root. Further to the north the valleys are clothed with a luxuriant growth
of wild oats, (Avena fatua,) which is во extensively naturalized that it gives to every fertile
tract the appearance of a cultivated field. The wide plains that border the sea in the neigh-
borhood of Los Angeles .are covered with the richest pasturage. The Erodium cicutarium,
(called here “pin grass,” and furnishing a highly esteemed fodder,) with several species of wild
clover, (Trifolium and Medicago,) are mingled with a variety of other herbage, and thus serve to
give a meadow-like aspect to this teeming land. Such is the general appearance of the country
from February to April, inclusive, and then is to be seen the glory of the Californian flora.

INTRODUCTION. 19

THE LOWER MOUNTAIN REGION.

As we begin to enter the mountain range we come upon what we have termed the Lower
Mountain Region, the intervening slope between the base of the mountain and the summit ridge.
Here the species of plants last considered disappear, and are replaced by an almost entirely dif-
ferent assemblage of vegetable forms.

The Adenostoma fasciculata, which we have before alluded to, is frequently found covering
entire hills. This plant is not peculiar to this region, but grows on all exposed situations, from
the lowest to the most elevated. It has fine and thickly set dark green foliage, and forms a
conspicuous feature inthe landscape. From its habit of growth it may be considered as the heath
of this country, though it belongs to a different family, that of the ЛЉоѕасес.

As the Artemesias disappear, scrub oaks show themselves on the steeper mountain slopes;
and, as the valleys become narrower and more rocky, we find the California live-oak (Quercus
agrifolia.) This forms a large spreading tree, the holly-like evergreen foliage of which adds
to the beauty of the mountain scenery. In the more northern sections of the country this oak
is met with in the vicinity of the sea; but as far south as San Diego it grows upon the moun-
tain slopes only, and its presence denotes a considerable elevation. It is usually of stocky
growth and unwieldy shape. Its wood is coarse grained and liable to speedy decay ; hence it is
but little esteemed for its timber. It has, however, a very thick bark, which will, no doubt, іп
time, be found of great value as a tanning material.

Among the shrubs of this region which deserve notice is Arctostaphylos tomentosa. This
species is said to form quite a good sized tree at the north ; but in the district at present under
consideration it occurs only as a shrub, rarely attaining the height of fifteen feet and a diameter
of from two to four inches at the base. It is a handsome evergreen bush, sending off numerous
branches close to the ground. Its bark is smooth, of a reddish color, and splits off in trans-
verse shreds. The wood, which is very close grained and durable, is an excellent material for
small turning work. It bears a small red berry, resembling our well known ** bear berry,"
though less astringent, which possesses acid properties, and, under the name of Manzaiita,
(** little apple,’’) is in common use as an ingredient of cooling drinks,

Another plant belonging to this region is Cerasus ilicifolius (5 wild plum.’’) This is also an
evergreen, and has thick pale green spinously serrate leaves. Its fruit, when mature, is of a
yellowish pink color, with a pulpy external portion scarcely exceeding a line in thickness.
Though the fruit has a pleasant taste, it would scarcely be considered worth eating in a country
which was not, like this, almost destitute of wild fruits.

The scrub oaks growing hereare all evergreen, with rigid coriaceous repandly toothed leaves,
which are very variable in size and shape, even in the same individual. The fruit of all the
species is of about the medium size and form, and is collected in large quantities by the Indians,
who use it in preparing their favorite article of food, which they call ** Atole.”

Cercocarpus parvifolius is another characteristic plant of this region, and is remarkable tor its
long, spirally-tailed seeds. It is quite a handsome shrub, growing in clumps, and throws up
wand-like branches to the height of five or ten feet. This is pretty exclusively confined to the
higher elevations, and even reaches to the summit ridge.

We notice, also, as an inhabitant of these localities, Frangula Californica, Gray, (Rhamnus

20) ; UNITED `STATES AND MEXICAN BOUNDARY.

tomentellus, Benth. P1. Hartweg,) a species which appears to have a wide geographical range.
Mr. Hartweg’s specimens were collected among the mountains of the Sacramento valley, and
we have seen others which were found by Dr. A. Randall near the head waters of the
Gila river.

In the more southern portions of this district, and growing very abundantly in the vicinity
of the boundary line, we find the pretty Adenostoma sparsifolia, (Torr. in Emory’s report.) This
grows more plentifully among the mountains than the already mentioned A. fasciculata, though
the two agree closely in habit and are frequently found side by side. It grows in clumps,
formed of numerous slender branches, and attains a height of four or eight feet. The upper
part of each branch divides near the summit into a fine spray, clothed with yellowish green
leaves, and, in the proper season, thickly set with small white flowers. The leaves and upper
stems are covered with a glandular varnish, which exhales a pleasant aroma resembling that
of Aspidium fragrans.

. Other shrubs that may be noticed as characteristic of this region are the Lriodyction Califor-
nicum and Chamæbatia foliolosa, (Benth.;) the latter recently figured by Torrey in Plantae
Frémontianae, in the Smithsonian Contributions. The shrubbery of this district is marked
by a very intricate mode of growth, especially that upon the Coast Range of mountains.
Here, so densely interwoven is the close mass of stunted bushes, that it is nearly impossible to
force one’s way either up or down the mountain sides.

This region furnishes a large variety of herbaceous plants. The greater number of those
which, in the accompanying list, are referred to the 55 Mountains east of San Diego,” have their
localities in this district. Among the crevices of rocks grow several species of ferns, of the
genera Aspidium, Gymnogramma, Cryptogramma, Adiantum, Woodwardia, &c. Mosses are
rare, and but few lichens are observed ; among the latter are the singular Ramalina Menziesii,
Taylor, (ZR. retiformis, Menzies,) and species of Parmelia, Roccella, and Evernia.

THE PROPER MOUNTAIN REGION.

The immediate summit ridge, which is elevated to a height of from 3,000 to 5,000 feet above
the sea, bears a rather meagre fringe of pines and other trees of the same family. This im-
parts a péculiar feature to the landscape, and recalls to mind the snows and wintry climate of
high latitudes. Of the genus Pinus proper we find four species, some of them being dwarfed
representatives of those forest monarchs which are so abundant and conspicuons further to the
north. |

In this region we encounter, though rarely, the majestic Pinus Lambertiana , With its enormous
drooping cones. P. Sabiniana is more abundant. This species is remarkable for its singular
fruit, each scale of which is tipped with a hard curved spine. Тһе size and shape of this fruit
are much like that of the pine apple.

Another species, P. deflexa, (Torr.,) has a trunk of elegant columnar form, and frequently
attains to majestic proportions, even in these unfavorable situations. The fourth species is а
nut-pine, and is described by Dr. Torrey in the accompanying enumeration as Pinus Llaveana.

This species is somewhat isolated in habit, and, as far as we have ascertained, has a very
limited range near the dividing ridge and south of the boundary line. In the character of its
fruit and foliage this species is closely allied to Pinus monophylla, (Torr.,) though quite dis-

-

tinct. It has a very compact, symmetrical form. The young individuals present a regularly
oval mass of foliage, which, reaching the ground, completely conceals the stem and branches,
Older plants attain a height of from 25 to 40 feet, and show a short trunk which supports a
rounded head. This species bears an edible nut, which is collected by the Indians as an article
of food.

Besides the pines, the other Coniferc are Abies Douglasii and Thuja occidentalis.

We always find upland -oaks associated with the pine growth of this region. These include
the common Quercus agrifolia and Q. densiflora, the latter species being the more common upon
the higher ridges. It is of stocky habit, and has wide-spreading branches, which form large
spherical heads. The bark of this tree appears like that of the elm, and the wood is close-
grained and durable.

There is another oak, which has deciduous leaves, the two preceding ы evergreens. It
seems to be closely allied to or identical with Q. tinctoria. Of this species there are two varie-
ties which are only distinguishable by the fruit, which in one has a large and prominent
gland, while in the other the gland is almost concealed by the cup—characters which seem to be
constant in the same individuals.

The shrubbery of this region presents but little variety, and consists mostly of species which
have been enumerated as belonging to the Lower Mountain district.

We naturally expect to find here the undergrowth which, in &ll countries, accompanies the
pine forest. Here, indeed, grows the woodland strawberry, (Fragaria vesca,) while liliaceous
plants are represented by Cyclobothra alba; we also meet with Viola lobata, a recently described
species of Bentham. But of Orchidacec, so common elsewhere in such localities, we have only
a solitary species of Platanthera. Curices are sparsely distributed, and Potentilla, so common
in northern latitudes, has a place in our catalogue. Тһе well-watered valleys are covered with
a fine sward of native grasses, and lichens of sparkling yellow decorate the decaying pines.

VEGETATION OF THE EASTERN SLOPE OF THE MOUNTAINS, THE DESERT, AND THE BASIN OF THE COLORADO,

The features which vegetation presents, within the limits of this section, may be best de-
scribed by noticing tbose which would naturally attract the attention of the traveller. The
vegetation of the summit ridge differs but little upon its eastern and western side; but as we
go further down the abrupt eastern descent a new group of plants comes into view, one which
presents a marked contrast to that occupying the corresponding Lower Mountain region of the
Pacific side. Here thorny shrubs and stiff-stalked plants of strange aspect meet.the eye. The
ashen colored mountains, which in the distance seem entirely destitute of vegetation, produce in
their rocky cations and crevices a great variety of singular forms. Cacti again appear, and,
except in one or two instances, are all different from those found on the Pacific slope. There
are several Opuntias, both those with cylindrical and those with elliptical stems. The gigantic
Echinocactus cylindraceus lifts its bristling trunk from the clefts of the rock, and the humbler
mamillaries are also met with. A new species of Cereus (C. Engelmannii) grows in these —
ties, and bears a deliciously palatable fruit.

On the upland plains, near the edge of the desert, we find a beautiful shrub with willow-like
foliage and trumpet-shaped flowers. This showy plant is Chilopsis linearis. Неге we also
encounter a species of Krameria, having long and spiny branches and deep purple flowers, and

22 UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN BOUNDARY,

new Rhumnaceous shrub (Zizyphus Parryi, Torr.) makes its appearance. Upon the hill sides
here grows a species of Agave, the ** Mezcal'' of this region. The root of this, when prepared
by a kind of underground roasting, serves as an important article of food for the Indians. Here
we also find the ‘‘ Spanish Bayonet,” a species of yucca, which presents its spine-armed leaves
to the traveller. As we proceed, the lower valleys assume a complete desert-like character. The
“creosote bush” (Larrea Mexicana) makes its first appearance, to be our constant companion
for the remainder of the journey. Perhaps the most striking plant of these wastes is the
Fouquieria splendens. This grows in clumps, consisting of from twelve to twenty long wand-
like branches, which, springing from the main stem close to the ground, rise to the height of
from ten to fifteen feet; the stems are beset with rows of spines, from the axils of which grow
small fassicles of leaves. Its bright scarlet flowers only appear at the time when the stalk
is destitute of leaves, and hence the whole plant has too naked an appearance to exhibit much
beauty.

The well-known mezquite, (Algarobia glandulosa,) which we shall notice more particularly
hereafter, now becomes a common shrub; and near the base of the mountains a species of pal-
metto is seen growing in the clefts of the rocks. Its appearance in these localities invariably
indicates the presence of water, though this is frequently found to be too saline for use.

As we advance upon the desert plain a very distinct character of vegetation presents itself. On
all the gravelly ridges near the mountains we find the stiff stalks of Fouquieria. In the fur-
rowed rain-water courses there is usually a growth of shrubbery larger than in other portions
of the desert. In such situations a small tree of graceful outline occurs—the Dalea spinescens,
(Gray, Pl. Thurb.) The finely divided branches of this plant are all terminated by sharp
points, and are covered with a silvery pubescence. It bears a few abortive leaves, and an abund-
ance of bright blue flowers. Further on in the desert the vegetation is chiefly composed of
Larrea mexicana and Obione canescens. Near the borders of the lakes and gullies which mark
the position of ** New river” we find a greater variety among the plants. A very rank growth
of a species of Amaranthus borders the lakes in wet seasons, and on the upper clay borders of
‘New river." The annual “Gramma grass” yields, after the rains or the overflows of the
rivers, a rapid growth of evanescent but highly nutritious fodder. We find in these situations
a species of Boerhavia and one of Kallstroemia. The mezquite trees near these places attain
a considerable size, and frequently bear upon their branches a vigorous growth of a peculiar
misletoe.

As we descend from the table land of the desert, by the steep bluff which bounds the alluvial
bottoms of the Colorado river, the vegetation consists almost entirely of dense thickets of mez-
quite, but it a$sumes a more varied character when we reach the alluvial tracts. On all places
liable to overflow the cotton-wood and willow abound, the latter forming a thicket along the imme-
diate margin of the river. The higher grounds near the river seem especially favorable for the
mezquite, and we find it growing with greater luxuriance than we have seen it elsewhere. In
some situations it forms thorny and impervious thickets, but it is usually sufficiently scattered
to permit an easy passage for man or beast. The irregular growth of this tree renders it unfit
for most of the uses for which timber is needed. As an article of fuel it is scarcely inferior to
hickory, and the wood is very durable. The fruit of the mezquite is of the greatest value to the
traveller in these regions. It is a long bean-shaped pod, which is greedily devoured by cattle
and is found to be highly nutritious. A gum exudes from this tree which closely resembles
gum arabic in its chemical characters. The production of the gum is evidently increased by

INTRODUCTION. 28

incisions made at certain seasons of the year, and especially by the proximity of fire ; facts which
may be turned to account if the gum should ever be collected as an article of commerce.
Growing with the mezquite, though preferring a moister soil, is the Strombocarpa pubescens, or
** screw bean,” as it is called, on account of the twisted form of its pods. It is usually of small
growth, and is rarer than the mezquite. The fruit is also used as food for animals, but is less
valuable than that of the mezquite.

The principal undergrowth consists of Tessaria borealis, a shrubby composita, which grows
upon light dry soil in thick masses. Its straight branches аге from four to eight feet high ; the
younger portions of which, as well as the leaves, are covered with a silvery pubescence. In low
saline places we find several chenopodiaceous plants; Salicornia, among others, which here
becomes a stout shrub of two or three feet in height. These localities also furnish the singular
Dicoris, a notice of which appears in Dr. Torrey’s. Appendix to Emory’s Report.

A kind of soft cane grass (Arundo Phragmites) grows along the river’s margin, and is the
principal reliance for fodder in this region. Two other kinds of grasses are met with in similar
situations, the seeds of which are collected for food by the Indians living near the river. One
of these is a Panicum, the seeds resembling millet. The other has digitate spikes, resembling
Eleusine. "The flour made from the seeds of these wild grasses is husky, but quite palatable ;
and it may be remarked, that species of the genera from which it is derived are in common .
cultivation in the eastern hemisphere.

Many ravines occur on the eastern edge of the desert, by means of which its drainage reaches
the valley of the Colorado; these furnish some of the most interesting plants in the district,
Here we again encounter the silvery chapparal tree, before noticed, (Dalea spinescens;) also,
another of the same natural family, Olneya Tesota, (Gray, Pl. Thurb.) This is а good sized
tree, having much the habit of the common locust. Its fruit consists of short irregular pods,
which contain two large orbicular seeds. The flowers were not seen. We also find here the
tree frequently referred to in Major Emory's Report as the ‘‘ green-barked acacia" of the
valley of the Gila. This is Cercidium floridanum ; and in these localities it is quite a large
tree, resembling the weeping willow in habit. Its long drooping branches bear an abundance
of pods.

Fouquieria grows upon all the gravelly hills, and the cactus family are represented by a
slender, cylindrical, much branched, and horribly spinose Opuntia, (O. ramosissima, Engel. n. sp.)

Much yet remains to be learned respecting the vegetation of this singular region, especially
that of the eastern base of the mountain range. Only enough is known at present to prompt
the desire of a thorough botanical exploration of its floral riches.

On taking leave of this branch of our subject, we briefly notice a few general facts connected
with the vegetation of the country under consideration. One of the most striking botanical
characteristics of this region, and one which attracts the attention of the most casual observer,
is the great preponderance of evergreen shrubs. This is not only true of the seacoast and
desert, but also of the higher mountain ranges. "This fact has an important bearing upon the
aspect of the scenery, which would otherwise be desolate indeed in а country exposed to an
uninterrupted drought of seven months duration in each year. Though the verdure has not the
vivid freshness of spring, but is even inclined to a leaden hue, yet the relief to the eye will be
readily appreciated when contrasted with those complete deserts, whose universal barrenness
seems increased rather than relieved by the repulsive spine-clad cacti or bristling yuccas. "os

Another peculiarity is the general prevalence of a balsamic odor. This is especially true of

24 UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN BOUNDARY.

the most arid tracts, and serves to give a somewhat stimulating property to the atmosphere.
This odor is due not only to the abundance of artemisias, but to a great variety of plants,
especially those of the Labiate order, such as species of Salvia and Audibertia. Most of the
Composite found here are more or less aromatic. In all cases the aroma seems to depend upon
a resinous exudation, which probably performs the office of checking evaporation, by closing
the pores of the leaves, and thus enables the vegetation of these arid tracts to survive the long
continued dry season. i т

The effect of the peculiarities of the climate upon the vegetation of this region may be noticed
here. The singular alternations of wet and dryness, heat and cold, produce a confused blending
of seasons. Upon the immediate coast most of the annuals and those perennial plants having a
succulent nature make their growth during the winter months, that being the season of rain.

In this latitude vegetable growth meets with but very little impediment from cold, as in these
months the temperature rarely falls below the freezing point. When the Novem7er rains com-
mence falling vegetation puts on its spring aspect, every barren hill is soon clothed in green, and
by midwinter flowers are blooming in profusion everywhere, and many have even passed their
brief season and have gone to seed. At this time the larger trees and deciduous shrubs drop
their leaves, and only resume them at the close of the rainy season. This seeming exception to
the general activity of vegetable life during the winter months is accounted for by the fact that
the class of plants alluded to is almost exclusively confined to the margins of streams, hence
their growth depends less upon moisture from the atmosphere. As dryness advances, during
the months of May and June, all the evanescent forms are swept away, and the profusion of
spring flowers gives place to the scanty products of the arid summer. Finally, these two yield
to a still more sparse autumnal growth, which is mainly confined to the courses of streams.
On the mountains, however, we find the alternation of seasons more like that of temperate
climates. Here there is a winter sufficiently cold to prevent and a summer sufficiently moist to
favor vegetable growth, which continues throughout the latter season. The scanty vegetation
upon the eastern side of the mountains and along the Colorado is but partially watered by the
uncertain showers of summer, and depends mainly upon the regular overflowing of the river.
As the waters recede, the inundated places are speedily covered by a very rapid growth.

An enumeration of the plants observed, with precise and detailed accounts of the most
interesting among them, will be found in the accompanying memoir by Professor John Torrey.

AGRICULTURAL CAPACITIES.

We will conclude this general sketch by briefly considering the agricultural capacities of the
country, as indicated by its general geological features, its climate, and the natural botanical
productions.

Commencing at the coast, we notice a prominent wall of high tertiary stuff abutting on the
sea. This portion, which is thinly clad with verdure at any season, presents an uninviting
aspect. Hence it happens that to the traveller who views it from the sea it is forbidding in
the extreme. Аба variable distance inland, however, where we find the line of settlements,
the rounded hills are covered with a deep rich loam, which in the spring produces a luxuriant
crop of wild oats. The river margins of this section are also of the same fertile character, and

INTRODUCTION. 25

support a rank vegetation. Along this belt, too, lie fruitful plains, which, when clothed with
the pasturage of early spring, excite the admiration of the beholder.

As we approach the junction of the tertiary and the granitic exposures barrenness again
prevails. The thin soil, which is here confined to the crevices of the rocks, produces a growth
of shrubbery, the stunted character of which indicates its unproductive nature. Proceeding
further inland, we find among the basin-shaped mountain valleys large trees and rich pasture
grasses, denoting that a fertile soil again appears. This character, more or less varied by local
causes, extends to the summit level.

Occasionally terraces are found upon the higher mountain slopes which possess a productive
clay soil, well adapted to the growth of winter grains. In general, however, these localities
are rugged and barren. From these facts it would appear that this country possesses a large
share of fertile soil, but in estimating its agricultural capacities we must also take into consider-
ation the peculiarities of the climate if we would arrive at correct conclusions. It is owing to
the fact that this latter is not taken into account that such discrepancies occur in the statements
of travellers, who, according to the season at which they view the country, pronounce it some-
times a desert and at others a garden. Let any one follow up the coast in the month of March,
and pass over the verdant plains that stretch towards the sea ; let him see every valley and hill
clothed in the rich green of the wild oats, and every snow-fed stream running with clear water,
and he will exclaim, ** This is Arcadian land, the realization of the poet's song." But let him
pass over the same region in the month of August or September, when nearly every green thing
has disappeared, when, instead of soft breezes wafting over refreshing verdure, the heated air
rises with a wavy tremor from the parching ground; let him visit the land when nothing
remains of the streams but the dry beds, and the herds of cattle, which before were roaming at
large in the enjoyment of the rich pasturage, are gathered in herds around the margins of the
stagnant marshes, and the same traveller will pronounce the country to be a desert unfitted for
the abode of man or beast.

Here, then, we have two widely differing extremes, between which lies the proper mean.

The true mode, then, of estimating how far this region is adapted to agriculture is to follow
up the courses of the various streams which run towards the sea, and note the point at which
the supply of water is constant, the width of the valley, and the nature of the soil at these
places, and also whether the character of the surface will admit of irrigation. We then have
the data for forming a just opinion as to the value of the land for husbandry. If the observa-
tions are made further inland, among the mountains, then the increase of elevation must be
taken into account, The winter here brings snow, and the summer is shorter than it is near
the sea level. Hence the length of the growing season is diminished, but while it continues
growth is extremely vigorous, especially in the month of June. The abundant supply of water,
wood, and the bracing mountain air, compensate for a frequently inclement winter, the difficulty
of transportation, and a short summer season.

The founders of the early mission establishments in this region seem to have had a clear
appreciation of these facts, and their locations were wisely selected, so as to embrace the widest
extent of cultivable land, and the best situations for farms are still found to be in their vicinity.
These missions occupy the valleys of the main water-courses, generally at that point where the

supply of water can be depended upon in allseasons. Their aqueducts, bringing water from ES

4k

26 UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN BOUNDARY.

towards the sources of the streams or from local springs, were often of great length and magni-
tude. The one belonging to the San Diego mission, for instance, is a continuous wall of
masonry for the distance of nearly three miles. The upper portion of each valley was generally
occupied by a branch dependency of the main mission, thus securing the entire control of the
agricultural resources of the valley.

In regard to the eastern slope of the mountain but little additional need be said. In the
immediate vicinity of the summit ridge arable land is found, but the more precipitous slope
renders this too limited in extent to claim much attention. Desert valleys and pent up caiions
succeed between this and the great plain. As far as all agricultural purposes are concerned
this is truly a desert, though it is not, as is generally supposed, a mere waste of shifting sands,
and destitute of every kind of vegetation.

We have already noticed that several shrubs are peculiar to this tract, which, if they serve
no other purpose, at least afford relief to the eye. |

The borders of ‘‘ New River’’ being subject to frequent if not regular overflow, would seem
to present some opportunities for the limited cultivation of maize, beans, pumpkins, and melons,
such as is practiced by the Indians on the Colorado, and the existence of “ gramma grass" on
the higher adjoining ground would seem to indicate that quickly maturing cereals might be
raised here. |

The supply of water might, moreover, be rendered more constant and equable by the con-
struction of artificial reservoirs and ditches. Still we must admit that any system of cultivation
must be very precarious in a location where its success depends upon such variable causes.

The remarks respecting “New River” apply in a great measure to the Colorado. Неге the
` cultivation is, of necessity, confined to those portions of the valley that are subject to overflow and
the consequent deposition of fertilizing sediment. The higher adjoining lands, being without
the reach of these influences, are, from their extreme aridity and the light porous nature of
their soil, quite unfit for any cultivation.

All the Indian settlements upon the Colorado with which we are acquainted are located with
reference to an overflowed portion of the river margin. Near the junction of the Gila with this
river one Indian village occupies an old river bed, which, when the river is high, is completely
covered by the stream. Another settlement is situated upon a low alluvial delta lying between
the two rivers, and a third is built in a slough. These are also flooded at high water. The
articles cultivated by these Indians are principally maize; beans, and pumpkins. No doubt
that cotton, sugar, and many of the sub-tropical fruits would succeed here, but our present
knowledge respecting the extent of arable soil, of the vicissitudes of the climate, and of the

character of the different seasons, is too vague to warrant any but the merest conjecture in regard
to its future agricultural importance.

sometimes truncate or cordate at the base, the middle one usually much longer than the others,
and with more numerous teeth ; the lowest pair situated close to the base of the petiole. On
some specimens the primary leaves are reduced to small branching prickles, as in Berberis
proper. Racemes 1—3 together; the pedicels 4—5 lines long. Flowers about as large as
in the common Barberry. Filaments inappendiculate. Berries somewhat ovate, dark blue,
about the size of currants. This species was first discovered by Frémont, in 1844, on the
tributaries of the Rio Virgen, in southern Utah. It is nearly allied to B. trifoliata, but differs
in the number of leaflets, longer racemes, and blue berries.

are thick on the margin, and destitute of a strophiole or crest ; and, lastly, in a peculiar habit.
The pollen is spherical, as in Dicentra. It may be considered as the type of a genus or sub-
genus, to which the name of Chrysocapnos would not be inappropriate. 4

A shrub З to 6 feet high, with numerous pubescent, crowded, opposite branches. Leaves
opposite, (rarely sub-opposite), pubescent, exstipulate ; petioles, 6—10 lines long ; leaflets mostly
longer than the petioles, marked (as are also the petioles and younger branches) with prominent
conspicuous glands. In all the specimens from the Rio Grande there are 6 to 10 leaflets, which
are narrowly linear (scarcely a line wide), and sub-coriaceous ; in those from Sonora there are 5,
which are twice as broad, and thinner. These glands, on the leaflets, are somewhat distant and
marginal. Flowers perfect. Pedicels 8—10 lines long, mostly near the extremity of the
branches, either solitary or 2 to 4, and somewhat umbellate. Sepals 4—5, short and semiovate,
ciliate on the margin. Petals inserted at the base of the shorter stamens, 3—4 times as long as
the calyx, obovate, narrowed at the base. Stamens mostly 8; filaments naked, the alternate
ones longer, compressed ; anthers ovate, fixed by the base, opening longitudinally. Disk
produced into 8—10, nearly equal glaudular lobes, which are without pores. Ovary hairy,
4--5-10064, 4—5-celled ; the cells produced above into a short obtuse beak, exterior to the
style; each cell containing 2 collateral hemitropous ovules. Styles short, at first combined,
but afterwards (and especially in the unfructified ovaries) distinct below; stigma of 4—5 |
capitate lobes. Fruit capsular ; only two of the carpels usually ripening ; these are broadly
ovate, compressed, dotted with brown impressed glands, mucronate with the base of the style ;
the beak, which in the ovary was at the summit of the carpel, becoming, in the mature fruit, a
dorsal tooth. At maturity the carpels open nearly the whole length of the dorsal suture, and
down the back as far as the tooth. The endocarp also separates almost entirely from the epicarp.
Seeds mostly solitary in each cell, globose-ovate, black and shining. Embryo nearly straight in
the axis of fleshy albumen ; cotyledons roundish-ovate, flat, with a very short radicle. A very
distinct genus.

Prtavia (GASTROSTYLA) DUMOSA, Nutt. in Torr. Ё Gray, Fl. 1, p. 215. San Diego and San

chewed. Cymes 3-flowered, terminal, and on short lateral spurs. Calyx 4-parted ; the segments
Petals white, equal, oblong, sparsely dotted. Stamens 8; filaments

ovate, acute, coriaceous.
Ovary solitary, seated on a fleshy

subulate ; anthers somewhat reniform, innate, retrorse.
sub-globose slightly lobed disk. Stigma capitate. *Fruit 1—2-seeded, testa thick and coriaceous.
Embryo curved, in rather thin fleshy albumen. This plant (as was remarked in the Flora of
N. America) is hardly a congener of Pitavia. It may form a sub-genus, distinguished by its
hermaphrodite flowers, solitary ovary, lateral style, and curved embryo.

found. This was-minute and pentamerous, the very small concave petals partly embracing the
stamens. Peduncles solitary, or sometimes 2 一 3 together, arising from short branches or spurs;
those of the fruit about half an inch long and recurved. Drupes 6 一 8 lines long, with a short
abrupt point, lemon yellow, the pulp very thin. Nutshell extremely thick and hard. Seeds
narrowly oblong. Albumen very thin. Embryo linear, oblong, green. This must be a very
rare plant, as it has been found but twice, and in both cases near the same spot. In its nearly
dry 3-celled fruit and extremely thick shell it resembles Z. xylopyra of India.

for that species becomes shrubby in Florida, and the stem, as well as the petioles, prickly.

specimens of this plant are clothed with a minute glandular pubescence. The leaflets are
lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, and conspicuously fringed with narrow spinulose serratures.
Teeth of the calyx always entire, and broadly lanceolate at the base. Legumes 2-seeded. The
Indians of California collect the seeds for food.

TRIFOLIUM HETERODON, Ó. Torr. & Gray, РІ. 1, р. 318. Monterey, California, Мау; Parry.
Differs from the preceding in being glabrous, with oblong or obovate leaflets; the stipules much
less cut; the calyx-teeth subulate from a narrow base; the two upper ones 2—3-cleft, and in
the legumes 4—5-seeded. e

TRIFOLIUM SPINULOSUM, 8. Torr. Ф Gray, 1. c. Near Monterey, California, May; Parry.
Near the last, but distinguished by the entire teeth of the calyx, more laciniate stipules and 2-.

` narrower calyx-teeth.

Schott. This is an interesting addition to our Flora, being an undoubted native Parkinsonia,
entirely distinct from P. aculeata, and much more nearly related to P. Africana, Soud. (in Lin-
nca, 23, p. 38.) We have seen no specimens showing the inflorescence but only a few loose
flowers from the collections of Mr. Schott. From the fructiferous specimens it would appear
that the racemes are fewer-flowered and the pedicels shorter than in P. aculeata, The flowers,
too, are smaller, the stamens much more exserted, and the petals (except the vexillum) are
ovate, not roundish, as in that species. The pods are nearly the same in both. These vary
from 2 to several-seeded, and are constricted between the seeds with a very long acumination.

Siliquastrum) to P. juliflora. It affords а gum nearly equal to gum arabic, of which it stated

October; Parry. Branches of an herbaceous species, apparently of a diffuse habit, which has
the involucre and habit of a Brickellia (but the achenia are pentangular without intermediate
вігіге,) or of an Ooclinium, but the receptacle is flat. Leaves about an inch in length and
breadth, deltoid-cordate, beset with a sparse and short pubescense or glabrate. Petioles 6 to 8
lines long, with narrow decurrent margins, hirsute with glandular or viscid hairs, like the
stem, peduncles, etc. Peduncles minutely bracteolate. Heads half an inch long. Scales of
the involucre green, lucid, appressed, strongly striate, tapering, especially the inner ones, into
a slender short awn. Flowers apparently ochroleucous. Achenia 2 lines long, with a con-
spicuous basilar callus, slender. Pappus white, scabrous. à

acutis, exterioribus ovatis oblongisve, interioribus lanceolatis seu linearibus purpurascentibus ;
acheniis secus angulos scabridis.—On the Gila, Sonora; Parry. Apparently an upright herba-
ceous plant, also with much the aspect of a Brickellia, but with the characters of Eupatorium.
Leaves 2 or 3 inches long, thin, the larger an inch or more in width near the base, thence

tapering to an acute point. Petioles 3 lines long. Heads half an inch long. Scales of the

turbinate and tomentose involucre rather loosely imbricated in 5 or 6 series, the exterior
successively shorter and broader. Flowers purplish. Pappus tinged with purple or brownish.

Achenia a line and a half long.*

© EUPATORIUM SPINACLEFOLIUM is the name which must apparently be borne by Bulbostylis spinacizfolia, DC. Prodr. 5, р,
139, since it has pentagonal achenia and is a true Eupatorium, The species is founded on Berlandier’s Nos. 764 and 2184
(Amer, distrib.) My specimens have only upper leaves, few of which are much hastate.

evident that the two really belong to one polymorphous species, which includes Bentham’s С.

the wool is either permanent or deciduous, ete. Should my conjecture about C. incana prove

Ericameria resinosa, Nutt., the ligules of which are often imperfect. In two directions, species 4
which I cannot separate from Linosyris make too close an approach to Aplopappus.—(Vide Pl.

heads than in my specimens from Nuttall, yet agreeing very well with his description. The
second is a later, much branched state, I believe, of the same species, although the heads are
only one-third as large, the rays and the involucral scales proportionally fewer, and the latter
either obtuse or retuse, or merely mucronate. The pappus of this occasionally consists of 6 or
8 bristles. "The comparison of both forms with Nuttall's original specimens shows that they all
belong to one species.

LAPHAMIA ANGUSTIFOLIA? var. LACINIATA: caulibus elongatis diffusis; foliis oblongis subcuneatis

This is doubtless an autumnal state either of L. angustifolia or of L. halimifolia, with weak
stems prolonged to the length of a foot. From the foliage it might as well be judged to be a
state of the latter, but the rayless heads and flowers are those of the former. It seems to indi-
cate that the two species may not really be distinct,

bratis ; pedunculis folia paullo superantibus ; acheniis sepius 3—4-nervatis; pappo rigidio tubo
corolle vix longiore.—On rocks near Escondido creek ; September ; Bigelow. This differs from
the last, possibly not specifically, in its somewhat floccose woolly pubescence, which renders all
the young parts canescent, its entire or very obscurely toothed leaves, its rather longer peduncles,
the longer proper tube to the corolla, its proportionally shorter pappus of stouter and more rigid
bristles ; and some of the achenia have four salient and unequally disposed ribs or nerves, but |
the greater number three, of which two are usually approximate at one margin. The leaves |
are from three to six lines in diameter, orbicular or broadly ovate, sometimes obscurely cordate,
entire, or obsoletely repand-toothed.

(although the leaves are not always so much cut,) pubescence, in the size of the heads and
broad scales of the involucre, in every respect, indeed, except in the awn to the pappus, (the
squamellae of which are, perhaps, less united ‚) that it is far most probable the two are forms of 2
one species. In this case the name of P. Emoryi, which was indicated and published in 1848,
would, on all accounts, take precedence, and P. nuda be held as a variety of it. Р, plumigera

is distinguished by the smaller heads, narrower involucral scales, and longer upwardly barbel- |
late awn of the pappus.

smaller than those of the disk. The fertile ovaries, at least the one or two which make the *
longer and subulate achenia, begin to elongate soon after anthesis, and to project to twice or

thrice the length of the involucre. The scales of the latter subtend the fertile flowers, but do

not inclose or embrace them. Pales of the receptacle much smaller than the involucral scales, |
linear, plane, forming a circle between the ray and the disk, one subtending each sterile flower. |

half a line in thickness, slightly obcompressed, even, not at all margined, tipped with two
stout, diverging or sometimes recurved-spreading, smooth, rigid, inarticulated and persistent,
subulate awns, of 14 to 3 lines in length. There is usually only one such achenium to each

D. CANESCENS. In the sandy desert of the Gila and of the Colorado; Emory. A small speci-
men of this curious plant was brought home by Col. Emory from his reconnaissance of the Gila,
etc., іп 1846; but it has not again been met with. The base of the plant is unknown. Leaves,
at least the upper ones, alternate, oval, obtusely dentate, on slender petioles, scabrous or hispid,
and- when young canescently villous on both sides; those of the flowering branches gradually
reduced to small and spatulate bracts. Heads short-pedicelled, arranged in loose and nearly
leafless spikes or racemes, which are panicled at the summit of the stem in anthesis, only one
and a half lines long; but in fruit the whitish and somewhat glandular and erose pair of inner
involucral scales become three or four lines long and almost as broad ; they are loosely appressed
to the achenia which they subtend, and appear to be deciduous with them at maturity. The
mature achenia are about 3 lines long, and 2 lines wide, including the strong laciniate-toothed
and incised wing, both faces slightly hispid, and carinately one-nerved in the middle ; near the
summit of the nerve of the inner, and sometimes of the outer face also, a small crest often appears
like the rudiments of an anterior and posterior wing. Although the full-grown achenia com-
monly appear destitute of a pappus, yet in the flowering state there is always a rather con-
spicuous ring of short bristles surrounding the base of the naked style, and traces of it are
generally discernible at maturity. The bristles are united at the base into a ring, and appear
to form a true pappus. They consist, however, of single rows of cells, exactly like the short
and fine bristly hairs which fringe the margin of the inner involucral scales. It will be seen
that the genus belongs to the division Ives of De Candolle. The name (from д/с, two, and
Kop:o, а bug,) alludes to the two achenia appearing like bugs, or like the achenia of some species
of Coreopsis.

E. California, December, 1854; Schott. Also gathered (with rather large heads) by Colonel
Frémont, in 1849, somewhere in the interior country of California. Fragments of this plant,
too poor to characterize, have been known for some years in a small collection made by Colonel
Emory in his earliest exploration of the Gila country. There are now good materials at hand.
It appears that the plant must be associated with another from the same region, upon which I
formerly proposed to found a genus under the name of (елеп, but afterwards (Pl. Fendl. l. c.)
concluded to append to Simsia. "The present species is remarkably distinguished, however, by
its woody or suffruticose, slender stems, (apparently belonging to a low and much branched
bushy plant,) and by the total absence of the rays, which are remarkably large in its congener.
Very likely the genus Germa (placed between Simsia and Encelia) should be re-established for
these two species; but for the present they may be appended to Simsia, although new dis-
coveries may more probably approximate them to Encelia. The heads vary from a quarter to
half an inch in diameter. The awns of the pappus are often as long as the much elongated
and dense fringe of soft white hairs which surround the otherwise glabrous achenium, but always
covered with similar long hairs. Sometimes they are almost obsolete, or reduced to a slender
base for the insertion of the tuft of hairs.

soft fleshy texture when in good condition, but it dries up at length, leaving only a vestige.
Dr. Schultz has overlooked the fact that the plant (varying greatly as to the wings of the ache-
nium and the awns of the pappus) is pretty clearly Wedelia hispida, H. B. K., which specific
name may claim to be restored. A specimen from Schultz, gathered by Schaffner, in Mexico,

achenia show a trace of the capitate hairs of that species. The appendages of the style, moreover, are very obtuse, and
destitute of the abrupt and sharp tip. Still it is an undoubted congener of L. Douglasii.

CLAPPIA, Nov. Gen.

* At Laredo, on the Lower Rio Grande, in August, 1829, Berlandier (as appears from the remains of his collections bough
from his widow) gathered a few specimens of a Composita of doubtful affinity. Тһе specimens were not numbered, and
doubtless have not been distributed by him. It is to be sought on the lower part of the Rio Grande. The plant appears to be
the type of a new genus, which I dedicáte to Dr. A. Clapp, of New Albany, Indiana, one of the most zealous botanists of our
Western States, and the author of an important work, entitled ** A Synopsis or Systematic peces of the Medicinal Plants
of the United States, 1859,”

simple, but all more or less coherent at the very base, so that they fall off ina ring. There are faint indications of some dark
glands on the foliage, which, if confirmed in better specimens, may justify a reference of the genus to the Tagetine, in which
case it would make as perfect a transition between that subtribo and the Heleniew as another бом of the same region
(Sartwellia) does between the latter and the Flaveriet.

depauperate and not fully developed ; they gave rise to the unfortunate phrase “ heads small,’’
in the Flora of North America. But, in fact, they are perhaps the largest of the genus. The
conspicuous pappus at length projects beyond the villosity of the achenium.

Cordilleras east of San Diego, California, June; Parry. This rare plant was known only from
a specimen in Coulter’s Californian collection, No. 313, which presented no mature fruit. Dr.
Parry's specimen is also a single one, (more swo,) but with well-formed fruit. The only points
to be added to the original account of the plant are that the viscid-glandular leaves are scarcely,

if at all, hoary; the corollas appear as if they were flesh-color rather than pale yellow, and
the marginal ones are hardly ampliate ; the mature achenia, all fertile and similar, are slightly
incurved, compressed, and not manifestly striate. The compression of the achenia tends to
confirm the genus as distinct from Cheenactis, although the numerous analogous cases in this
subtribe warn us to beware of genera resting solely on the absence of pappus. Vide, Plantae

length, four of them obovate-oblong, the alternate ones narrower and more spatulate, entire.
With the style of true Bahia, but the appendages tipped with a longer and sharper cone, this
little plant has the involucre of the section Eriophyllum, and a still more elevated (even
conical) receptacle; and so tends to combine the two. In the rays, which are said to be pale
purple and white, it accords with the obscure B. trolliifolia, of which it is probably a true
congener.

Mr. Bentham examined. Since the two plants apparently agree in all other particulars, it is most likely that my specimens
belong to an epappose state of the species; justas ай Nuttall's species of Ptilomeris are probably forms of one. At any
rate, it is now certain that Ptilomeris and Dicheta, as well as Baeria, must be reduced to sections of Burrielia.

a single specimen of this interesting plant (but in a more advanced state than Mr. Thurber’s)
was gathered by Lieut. Du Barry, and communicated to Dr. Torrey. The latter pointed out
the oversight I had committed in respect to the pappus, and which led me wrongly to refer the
plant to Psathyrotes, whereas it technically belongs to the Heleniee, and adds another genus
to that subtribe. The five thin pale: of the pappus are beautifully dissected into stiff capillary
bristles, of which the central one is somewhat the longest, and the rest on each side successively
shorter. Involucre loosely very woolly externally ; the thin and lax scales oblong and oblong-

Foliage, etc., unknown. The genus is dedicated to G. W. Hulse, M. D., of Louisiana, late а

and incomplete specimen, a second species has been detected by Dr. Newberry (H. nana, Gray in

the elongated compressed achenia are remarkable in the Heleniez, subdiv, Euhelenies, to

mode of growth. Mr. Fitch's specimen is the same as Frémont’s, marked R and 8 in his coll.

in Douglas’s specimens,) belongs the H. multicaulis, Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beech. Voy. Suppl., p

to H. angustifolia, is exactly H. corymbosa (Hartmannia corymbosa, DC.) H. macrocephala,

shorter,) their obovate or oblong segments 3 lines long. Nor are the tinged and perfectly smooth and even ray achenia at all
apiculate at either end. The pappus of the (apparently fertile) disk-achenia resembles that of C. tenella, its longer and subulate
scales being only haif the length of the corolla, and not longer than the achenium itself.

one of them has short and broad lobes to the corolla of the disk. The glands are manifestly
not of generic importance; and as in habit there is no longer a marked distinction, it will be
evident, on comparing the characters of C. Fremontii with those of the two new Hemizonim
above described, that it is becoming increasingly difficult to preserve Calycadenia as a genus,

Т.АВОРНҮТЛА DICHOTOMA, Benth. Pl. Hartw. p. 317. On the Sacramento, California; Rev. Mr:
Fitch. Branchlets only ; rays evidently yellow. The genus is distinguished from Hemizonia by
the obcompressed fertile achenia, completely enclosed by the involucral scales, and by the cunei-
form, deeply trifid rays. The habit also is peculiar. Yet, perhaps, it may be found to pass
into Hemizonia ; though it is more distinct than Calycadenia.

are merely in flower. I suspect that in the achenia, no less than in other characters, as well as
in habit, the plant will accord with ZLagophylla, and thus raise that genus to three known
species. Тһе receptacle is not chaffy in the centre. The small rays are three-parted nearly to

(which are an inch or more long); the branches diffuse. Root annual. Leaves from a quarter
to half an inch long. Heads little over a line long, with 4 to Т ray-flowers, and a single
hermaphrodite one, which is inclosed in a cup formed of only three pales. Besides this character,
and the diminutive size and diffuse habit of this plant, it differs from H. madarioides, Nutt., of
Oregon, in the less falcate ray-achenia, of barely a line in length (only half the size of those of
the other species), the apex of which is obtusely apiculate, but not atallrostrate. Н. madarioides
has, when young, a simple and strict stem, leaves of one or two inches in length, and, according
to Nuttall, sometimes attains the height of 2 feet.

that species includes forms with thickish and silky pubescent leaves as well as tapering acute

run into Т. angustifolia, DC. (Berlandier’s No. 1284 and 1353,) which Schultz keeps separate.
The latter belong to an arid region, and certainly look widely different from Berlandier’s No.

are cut into numerous short and crowded lobes, and are as long as the young scapes. Involucre
only 4 lines long, consisting of 8 or 10 oblong and rather obtuse scales of equal length, and of
a few short calyculate scales. The young achenia are oblong, rather clavate, and largest at the
truncate apex ; it is not likely that they become rostrate or even tapering at the apex. Some of
the exterior ones are hairy, more so than in C. Douglasii; the others are glabrous, except a
minute papillose pubescence on the ribs. Pales of the pappus 5, nearly 3 lines long, fully 2

part of the plant, with reduced foliage. It is most interesting, however, as adding a second
species to the genus Calycoseris, being a strict congener of the New Mexican C. Wrightii. It
is distinguished by its yellow flowers, rather larger heads, more numerous scales to the invo-
lucre, of which there are likewise а few external and shorter scales, effecting a transition into
the smaller calyculate ones, which are more pointed and mostly squarrose-recurved; the
scales, as well as the peduncles and branchlets, are more conspicuously beset with similar setose-
pedicellate glands, which here are blackish. More important characters are afforded by the
achenia; these are more slender and rather longer; the strong ribs are not so thick, and are
smooth or even, (while in C. Wrightii they are tuberculate-roughened, a character by no means
sufficiently represented in the plate,) each with a sharp and salient dorsal nerve or keel, and
with a less conspicuous lateral one on each side ; and the slender beak is as long as the body of
the achenium.

sessile, ovate and oblong-lanceolate, irregularly and acutely toothed. Flowers in lax racemes
terminating the branches ; the pedicels 2—4 lines long and twice the length of the linear bracts.
Calyx about two thirds as long as the tube of the corolla, the segments subulate and denticulate.
Corolla blue, 3-4 lines long ; upper segments oblong-lanceolate; lower ones much narrower ;
the tube about as long as the stamina. Wrighé's 419 and 1429, differ in being more leafy above,
and in the shorter pedicels. We suspect they are all forms of L. Cliffortiana.

Doña Ana, etc. This was first received in the collection of Dr. Wislizenus, and afterwards in that
of Wright and most others from the northern borders of Mexico. Dr. Engelmann proposed it
long ago, in MSS., as a new genus, under the name of Epiziphium maurandioides, which is here,
with his permission, changed to Wislizeni, since I incline to view the plant as thetype of a mere
subgenus of Maurandia, freely admitting, however, that its characters are as well marked as
those of Lophospermum. ‘lhe remarkable fructiferous calyx is 8 or 9 lines broad at the base,
strongly 5-angled and keeled, and an inch or an inch and a half long; the sword-shaped per-
sistent style nearly equals the calyx-lobes, and the dehiscence is by a clean transverse chink on
each side, which inclines to extend downwards so as to become valvular. Seeds blackish, dis-
tinctly winged, 14 to 2 lines long.

mediate between P. Cobea and P. pumilus, Nutt. The specimens are only 5 or 6 inches high,
herbaceous, erect, leafy ; the leaves from 11 to 21 inches long, and 11 to 24 lines wide, thickish;
the upper floral linear-subulate and not exceeding the calyx; the latter is half an inch long ;
the corolla, which has just the shape of that of P. Сорга, is over an inch long. It is somewhat
viscid externally and slightly bearded within the lower lip. Sterile stamen like that of P.
Cobzea, but the beard denser. |

Pedicels 3 to 6 lines long. Calyx 2 or 3 lines long. This species belongs to the section Cepo-
cosmus, and to the same-group with P. imberbis. If, as seems likely, No. 186 of the collection
of Wislizenus, from Cosiquiriachi, belongs here, the corolla is blue.

ebracteolate, 3-8 lines long. Calyx 2-3 lines long; corolla much as in the last; sterile
filament shorter, and gradually very slightly dilated upwards. This is evidently most related
to P. lanceolatus, Benth.; but is more downy, with simpler inflorescence ; and the much larger
and more dilated corolla is of a different color; being red in P. lanceolatus, according to Dr.
Gregg's notes on a specimen gathered by him at Buena Хич.

Bigelow, etc. Santa Cruz mountain; Captain E. K. Smith. We have this in cultivation from
Mr. Wright’s seeds. It is hardy at Cambridge, and is taller (4 to 6 feet high) than the com-
monly cultivated P. barbatus, as well as fuller-flowered ; the virgate panicle becoming 2 or 5
feet in length, and bearing a long succession of fine scarlet blossoms, in some plants of the
most brilliant hue. The calyx-segments are either marginless or slightly margined. The
lower lip of the corolla at the throat is bearded, either somewhat copiously or sparingly, or in
some plants the beard wholly disappears, so that the name barbatus is not characteristic of this
species. But that all our forms are specifically identical with the old Chelone barbata I cannot
doubt. In establishing his P. Torreyi, Mr. Bentham, who is generally so very accurate, has
made two mistakes; the first, into which he was naturally led by the imperfection of the
original specimens, was in referring his plant to the section Cepocosmus, and comparing it with
P. imberbis, whereas it is a genuine Elmigera, having the upper lip erect, concave, and
moderately two-lobed, the lower 3-parted and reflexed ; the second in attributing to P. barbatus
a bearded sterile filament, whereas it has always been described as with a naked one, con-
formably to the distinction formerly taken in this respect between Chelone and Pentstemon.

graphical Engineers, under whose command Mr. Wright was when he, for the second time, met
with the plant ; but the name has not appeared in print, so far as І am aware. The figure in
the Botanical Magazine does feeble justice to the very deep and carmine corolla, and represents
the plant as coarser and the leaves as considerably larger than usual. The latter in the wild
specimens are only 1—1 inch long, and very thick and firm. Far from being “annual?” the
plant is shrubby. The upper lip of the corolla is erect or at length somewhat recurved; the

and Elmigera.

Mountains east of San Diego, California; June; Parry. Near the town of the same name;

genus in its somewhat climbing habit. It runs over tall bushes like a Lonicera, and has bright
scarlet flowers, which are resupinate.

terminal racemose panicles. Pedicels verticillate. Segments of the calyx ovate-lanceolate, acumi-
nate. Corolla nearly an inch long, pale scarlet according to Dr. Parry. This species belongs
to the section Elmigera of Bentham.

LzucoPHYyLLUM TExANUM, Benth. in DC. Prodr. 10, p. 344. Common in southern and western
Texas, occurring in all the collections. The stigma is bilamellate, as described by Kunze, but
the two lamellae commonly cohere. This must be a beautiful shrub when loaded, as it often is,
with its rich violet-purple blossoms, contrasting with its silvery white foliage. In the finest
specimens the limb of the corolla is fully an iuch in diameter, and delicately soft-bearded within,
and the wide tube two-thirds of an inch long to the base of the lobes. j Sometimes the fifth
stamen is present and imperfectly antheriferous. | (ao.

Bentham, &c., except that the m«mbranaceous valves scarcely, if at all, separate from the undi-
vided placenta, but remain coherent by means of the thin and short partitions.

Parry & Capt. S. K. Smith. "Texas; Wright & Lindheimer. This appears to vary as much
in size and aspect, and to have nearly as large à geographical range as M. luteus; and M.
Jamesii is pretty plainly no more than a smaller flowered and almost entire-leaved northern
form of it.

MIMULUS BREVIPES, Benth. Scroph. Ind. 2, adnot., & in DC. Prodr. 10, p. 369. Near San Diego,
California, May; Zhurber, Parry, etc. Chiefly narrow-leaved forms, the same as Coulter's No.
640. Bentham indicates it as perennial, but our Douglasian specimens show an annual root ;
so do those of Thurber. The capsule of this species is ovoid-lanceolate, rather firm and chartace-
ous in texture, loculicidal and splitting through the axis, separating the two placentz, which
remain adnate to the valves, just as in Diplacus. Through M. rubellus, etc., there is a regular
gradation as to the dehiscence between this and the Mimuli with a thin and membranaceous
capsule, and a fleshy placenta, which shows no disposition to split.

MIMULUS CARDINALIS, Dougl.; Benth. 1. c. Near San Diego, and in the mountains westward,
California; Parry. The valves of the capsule with the partitions in this species tardily separate
from the axis, from which the two placente are pretty widely separated, being projected far
into the cells.

Copper Mines, April; Bigelow, Wright, (1483,) and Hueco mountains; Thurber, (135.) Plant
2 to 6 inches high. Leaves З to 8 lines long, the uppermost acutish. Calyx perfectly equal at
the summit, even in fruit, 3 lines long, narrow. Tube of the corolla yellowish, the limb 12
line long, pink or purple. The valves of the capsule are pretty thin and delicate; but the
placenta splits at the summit in dehiscence, or is bipartible, one half remaining adnate to each
valve.

Mimutus (DrPLAcus, Nutt.) GruTrNosus, Wendl. Obs., p. 51. San Francisco, Monterey, and
San Diego, California. In various forms, and both with red and yellow flowers. Several
annual Mimuli being dehiscent through the placenta in the same way as the present plant, there
appears to be no ground for viewing Diplacus as anything more than a marked section of
Mimulus, distinguished by its shrubby habit, glutinous foliage, and narrow pods of a firm
texture.

EuNANUS Fremonti, Benth. in DC. Prodr. 10, p. 374? Dry gravelly places near Monterey,
May; Parry. Only a single and miserable Specimen was gathered. It seems likely to be а
state of E. Frémonti, or possibly of Douglasii, with a remarkably abbreviated corolla.

(Leucospora) multifida; only more pubescent; the flowers very short-peduncled; the corolla
twice as large, purple, or the lower lip pale. Capsule 3 or 4 lines long, pointed. This
connects Bentham's Conobea multifida and his Schistophragma pusilla in such a way as to
rende; it necessary to comprehend under one and the same genus these three species of closely
similar aspect. The pod is just intermediate between the ovate shape of the first and the linear
form which distinguishes the last ; but it has the spirally striate seeds of Schistophragma. Its
unequal calyx (the upper sepal being somewhat larger, or at least longer than the others,) would
appear to exclude it from Schistophragma no less than from Conobea ; but I observe the same
thing, only rather less marked, in an authentic specimen of Bentham’s S. pusilla var. major,
from Santa Martha. The stigma is essentially the same in all three. The present species has
one peculiarity: while in its unequal calyx it seems to approach Herpestis, in its anthers, (the
cells of which are not side by side, but one inserted a little above the other) it approaches
Stemodia and its allies.

pubescent and glandular plant than S. pectinata, and with the leaves much more cut, sometimes

nation that I fear it cannot be greatly relied upon in this genus. The above character was
drawn up, under a different name, before Seemann's plant was published. I have not seen
Mexican specimens. Our plant has less dissected foliage and (except in one or two instances)
much shorter pedicels than are delineated in Seemann's figure, and no such incised or pinnatifid
calyx-lobes, (which, by the way, are not mentioned in the character,) still the two are likely to
fall under the same species.

to C. filifolius ; but it is not so rigid, has finer foliage (without hispid hairs,) less capitate and
larger flowers, the more incurved corolla an inch and a quarter long, and the upper lip of the

exserted ; anthers 2-celled, bifid at the base, mucronulate at the summit ; filaments slender,
very smooth, inserted into the middle of the tube of the corolla. Ovary oblong-conical, the
base surrounded by a glandular ring. Style conspicuously exserted, filiform, smooth, except at

‚ the base, which is a little pubescent, somewhat clavate at the summit ; stigma small, capitate.
Capsule oblong, apiculate, 2-celled, septicidal ; valves 2-cleft at the summit; placentae thick,
adnate to the axis. Seeds numerous, imbricated, the testa loose, cristate at both ends twice the
length of the nucleus. Embryo straight. We have seen one or two pentamerous flowers. This
genus is dedicated to Major William H. Emory, United States Commissioner to the Mexican
Boundary Survey, who has taken the liveliest interest in the botany of the region explored
under his command, and has afforded every facility to the gentlemen who had that department
of science in charge. Mr. Miers, to whom we sent specimens of this plant, thought it might be
referred to the tribe Buddleie. Indeed it is nearly related to Buddleia itself.

the same author in DC. Prodr. The latter genus was founded on J. lepida, and is the only species referred by Nees, to his first
section. It differs so much from the species of the second group, which we would transfer to Drejera, that it may remain by

Besides the four species of Drejera here described, we have, from the collections of Dr. Gregg,
another, which does not appear to have been noticed hitherto. It was found on the battle field
of Paso del Gallinero. The specimens are not sufficient for a full description, but the following
character will serve for its identification :

DREJERA GREGGII (n. sp.): ramis bifariam pubescentibus ; foliis ovatis scabriuscule pubescen-
tibus subulato-venosis ; floribus fasciculatis foliis longioribus ; calyce incano pubescente, lobis
lanceolatis tubo subzqualibus. А stout shrub. Leaves 1-14 inch long, somewhat roughly
pubescent on both surfaces; petioles 1-2 lines long. Flowers dull purplish red, 14 inch long;
the segments of the lower lip nearly as long as the tube, and very narrow. Fruit not known.

Lindheimer. Plant 6 to 12 inches high, suffruticose, much branched. Leaves half an inch to
one and a half inch long. Flowers three-fourths of an inch long, pale purple. This plant is
not a Monechma, for the capsuie is 4-seeded, and the habit is different. It is still further removed
from Adhatoda. We think it belongs to the genus Siphonoglossa, ( GZrsted, 1. c., p. 159,) the
character of which must be slightly modified to receive it. The calyx is 5-parted and the
narrow upper lip of the corolla is emarginate. Тһе anther-cells are nearly parallel and placed
one above the other; the lower one conspicuously mucronate, and the upper one less so. No.
1213 of Coulter’s Mexican collection is apparently an undescribed species of this genus.

729. Southern part of California; Frémont. Vallecita, California; Thurber. Although not
agreeing in every respect with the description, these incomplete specimens probably belong to
Bentham's Beloperone Californica, which Nees has not inaptly referred to his genus Jacobinia ;
but it surely belongs to Sericographis. It has the hairy lines, answering to the bases of the
suppressed stamens, well-marked. In one blossom there were three perfect stamens. "The upper
lip of the corolla neatly shows the two long membranous lamelle which connive and form a
long channel containing in the bud the upper part of the style; a character which Cirsted has
added to the description of this and some related genera." A. Gray.

slender. Leaves (including the petiole) 13-2 inches long and 3-5 lines wide, entire, nearly
smooth. Flowers fascicled in the uppermost axils. Calyx a little shorter than the lanceolate
bracts and longer than the subulate bracteoles, the segments subulate. Corolla white?; border
4-lobed, the three lower segments oblong, the upper segments bifid at the summit. Stamens 2,
exserted ; anther-cells separate, one placed above the other, obtuse at the summit, acute at the
base. Ovary 4-ovuled. This seems to be distinct from any species of the genus described by
Nees.

1465, Wright.) Our plant is a perennial, and some of the specimens seem to be even suffruticose,
but D. resupinata and thlaspoides are said to be annuals. The length of the peduncle is variable;
in Schott’s and Wright's specimens it is as long as the lateral divisions, but in T'hurber's
they are sometimes very short, and the middle division much elongated. The heads, also,
although mostly 1-flowered, are sometimes 2-flowered. The bracts are mostly broadly cordate,
but in Mr. Thurber's specimens from Bacuachi they are ovate and obovate.

Allied to Keithia, but with a different habit, and a shorter corolla than in any of the described
species of that genus. In the calyx it differs from both genera. It may remain in Hedeoma
for the present, but, if other species like it should be found, it may be the type of a new genus.

species is certainly annual, and never perennial nor suffrutescent, as Bentham supposed it to be.
It is a variable plant. Sometimes it is dwarf and cespitose ; the leaves are linear-oblong or ovate,
and sessile with a narrow base, or with a petiole nearly as long as the lamina ; the calyx is more
or less hairy, and when the plant grows in shady places the tube of the corolla is about the
length of the calyx, while usually it is only about half as long. Н. ciliata, Nutt. Pl. Gamb. p.

8. MEXICANA. (Tap. XXXIX.) Ravines, Chihuahua, below Presidio del Norte, near the
Rio Grande; Parry. This remarkable plant was first discovered by Col. Frémont, in 1844, on
the Rio de los Angelos, a branch of the Rio Virgen, western New Mexico ; but the specimens
were too much injured for description. It is a shrub 2 or 3 feet high, with numerous slender

spreading or reclinate branches, which are terete and hoary, with a minute appressed pub-
escence. Тһе leaves are about half an inch long, petiolate, ovate or oblong-lanceolate, acute at
the base, slightly pubescent, 3-nerved; petiole 2-3 lines long. Васетев 2—6-flowered, ter-
minating the branches. Flowers on short pedicels, as large as those of Scutellaria galericulata,
which they much resemble. Calyx, at first, with entire, very obtuse and equal lips, at length
very much enlarged (nearly three-fourths of an inch in diameter) and bladder-like, with a con-
tracted orifice. Corolla nearly an inch long; the upper lip concaye and incurved; lower lip

dilated, the sides somewhat reflexed, much shorter than the upper lip, to which they are

attached. Stamens всагсе1у exserted; the anthers approximated in pairs; the inferior (longer)
pair with one of the cells abortive; lower pair with cordate, 2-celled anthers, the cells some-
what divaricate. Style long and filiform, not at all bifid at the summit. Nutlets depressed-
globose, horizontal, nearly a line in the transverse diameter, roughened with minute tubercles.
Seed conduplicate, or bent at an acute angle, so that the cotyledons are somewhat horizontal
and incumbent on the radicle. One or more of the nutlets are commonly abortive.

Mr. Bentham (in the introduction to his Gen. & Spec. Labiat., p. xxix) says, that the embryo
of all Labiatz that he had examined is either straight or only slightly curved; the only excep-
tion being in Scutellaria, in which **it is curved backward in a peculiar manner." Salazaria
exhibits the same peculiarity, that is, the cotyledons are incumbent. The rather short radicle
is not applied close to the cotyledons, but makes an acute angle with them. This results from
the flexure of the carpel itself, which commences at an early period, and at last the vertex
approaches the base, as in Menispermum. The nutlets in Scutellaria are always more or less
roughened with minute tubercles, or with thick scales which are imbricated retrorsely. In 8.
parvula there is a distinct horizontal wing, free from the tubercles, and surrounding the nutlet,
thus making an approach to Periloma, in which they are narrowly 4-winged.

It is evident that Salazaria makes a near approach to Scutellaria, but its nearly regular and
bladder-like inappendiculate fructiferous calyx, in which there is scarcely any distinction of
upper and lower lip, distinguishes it sufficiently from that genus.

cells. If the published character of Zrichostema, and of the order were perfectly correct, it
would also differ importantly in the amphitropous descending ovule. But in Trichostema, also,
the ovules are amphitropous or between that and anatropous. The seed, however, is attached
below the middle, whereas in Tetraclea it is attached above the middle; but this is merely a
difference of degree. The anthers are not drawn quite right in the plate. They are scarcely

Plant 1-2 feet high, nearly simple or moderately branched. Leaves 1-1} e long, and
3-5 lines wide; 4—6-toothed on each margin; scabrous on both sides, with short appressed
hairs, which commonly arise from an elevated base. Peduncles solitary in the axils, 2-6
nches long. Heads (exclusive of the corolla) about one-third of an inch in diameter; the
flowers closely aggregated. Corolla funnel-form, with a short tube, half an inch long and of
equal diameter ; white or pale rose color; the lobes short and slightly emarginate. Fruc-
‘tiferous calyx somewhat enlarged, the teeth triangular-ovate. Stamens included. Style long
and filiform ; the apex twice 2-cleft. Ovary 4-celled, the ovules ascending. Drupe about the
size of a hempseed (Canabis); pulp very thin ; endocarp reticulate-pitted. Cotyledons distinctly
plicate longitudinally. Apparently allied to C. patens. An undescribed species of this genus
was found by Gregg in the Balson de Mapimi. It may be thus characterized :

CoRDIA GREGGI, (n. sp.): ramosissima, scabro-pubescens ; foliis obovatis obtusis dentatis
plicato-rugosis, basi longe cuneatis; cymis contractis subcapitatis pee, laciniis calycis

northern part of the Balson de Mapimi, flowering in April. A shrub 5-8 feat high. Leaves
scarcely half an inch long, of a pale greenish gray color. Peduncles terminating the leafy
branches, an inch long. Cymes 8-12-flowered, the flowers at first in a dense head, but after-
wards unfolding a little. The upper part of the 5—6-toothed calyx clothed with short blackish
hairs. Corolla more than an inch in diameter, white; the lobes obtuse and entire. Stamens
5-6, scarcely half the length of the corolla. Ovary tapering to a long slender style. Ovules
ascending. This species connects the sections Dasycephale and Cordiopsis. It is allied to С.
parvifolia, but has a much more contracted inflorescence.

plant Nacahuita. Dr. Gregg says that the fruit is eaten by cattle and hogs, and that a decoc-
tion of the leaves is used for pains in the limbs. It is closely allied to C. Sebestena, Linn. (C.
speciosa, Willd., which grows on Key West); but differs in the soft velvety undersurface of the
leaves, the shorter calyx with more pointed teeth, etc.

This plant was found by Major Emory in 1846, in the same desert; but his specimens were
collected in the winter, and were too imperfect for determination. T. dichotoma, Pers., (Col-
denia? dichotoma DC.,) differs in being suffrutescent and in having lanceolate leaves. Late in
the season the leaves become rigid and hispid. The remarkable character of the lobed coty-
ledons in this genus was pointed out to my friend Dr. Gray many years ago. It is fully
described in the Botany of the United States Exploring Expedition. Mr. Bentham has noticed
it in Hook. Jour. Bot. & Kew Miscell. 3, p. 296.

Var. PLICATA : foliis oblongis utrinque 5-7-veniis plicato-rugosis. With the preceding.
Leaves remarkably plicate between the veins. Late in the season the stem of this becomes hard
and ligneous, so that, without examining the root, the plant might be considered as frutescent.

our specimens are evidently annual; but De Candolle has described it as fruticulose. The root

the herbarium give out, after some time, a purplish material, which leaves the imprint of the
plant on the paper. The coloring matter is of a resinous or terebinthine nature and is quite
soluble in alcohol, so that it is not a kind of indigo. It is contained in cells which are situated
along the margin and on each side of the midrib. In the dried plant the color is of a bright
red. We have a strong suspicion that E. Californicum, E. Chorisianum, and E. Scouleri are
not distinct,

phous, two opposite ones having rather a broad margin, which is pectinate with flat glochidiate
prickles ; the other two are smaller, with a much narrower margin and shorter prickles. Our
plant has a biennial root. The stem more than 2 feet high. Lower leaves 2 inches long and
5-7 lines wide, villous with spreading hairs. Racemes numerous, forming a loose terminal
panicle, bracteate to the summit. Pedicels closely deflexed. Corolla salver-form, 2 lines long,
with a short tube and obtusely 5-lobed border ; the throat furnished with 5 very prominent tuber-
cles, Nutlets homomorphous ; the aculei marginal only, in a single series, confluent at the base.

as the body and more or less toothed above the middle. In the Oregon specimens, and in some
of those from New Mexico, one of the nutlets is apterous.

HYDROPHYLLACE.

NEMOPHILA PEDUNCULATA, Benth. in Linn. Trans. 17, p. 275? Napa valley, California; Thur-
ber. This is the same as No. 480 of Coulter's Californian Collection. It is named N. parviflora
by Dr. Harvey, (MSS.,) but differs from that species in the seeds being more numerous (10-13)
and tuberculate, not 4, and impressed-punctate. The arillus is calyptriform in both species.
The leaves, too, are usually 7-9-lobed in N. pedunculata, and only 5-lobed in N. parviflora.
Alph. De Candolle (in Prodr.,) remarks that he found the placente 2-ovulate in both species,
and Fischer & Meyer (1. c.) think they are not distinct. They may have examined a different
plant from the one here noticed, probably a mere variety of N. parviflora.

as marked with a longitudinal ridge.

erect. Leaves 1-14 inch long, tapering at the base to a petiole which is 6 or 8 lines long.
Racemes at first circinate, when in fruit nearly a foot long. Pedicels about an inch in length,
spreading horizontally. Segments of the calyx a little dilated upward. Corolla two-thirds of
an inch in diameter, purplish, the lobes rounded and entire. Stamens scarcely exserted ; the
filaments with a small truncate or bidentate adnate scale at the base. Capsule ovate, rather
acute, containing about 40 oblong and scabrous seeds. As remarked in the Botany of Parkes’
P. R. R. Report, this species seems almost intermediate between Phacelia (Eutoca) and Whitlavia.
It has the corolla of the former, with the long pedicels and corolline scales of the latter.

30—40-flowered, when in fruit 24-4 inches long; the flowers very closely approximated, on
pedicels a line or more іп length. Calyx hispid and glandularly pubescent, the segments unequal,
about two-thirds the length of the corolla, linear-spatulate, obtuse. Corolla pale purple, 24
lines long, the tube narrower and funnel-form ; lobes rounded. Stamens included, with a pair
of oblique folds near the base of each filament. Style 2-cleft about half its length, hairy at the
base. Fructiferous calyx nearly the length of the obtuse capsule. Seeds about 20, oval, com-
pressed, scabrous, with an elevated ridgeon the face. This species is remarkable for its funnel-
form corolla, in which character it resembles the section Conanthus of Eutoca (Alph. DC. Prodr.);
but the habit of the plant is different from that of E. aretioides. Wright’s specimens have a
laxer habit, as well as larger and more membranaceous leaves than Bigelow’s, probably from
having grown in a shady place. '

Ссвсота. Dr. Engelmann, of St. Louis, has long been occupied in preparing a monograph
of this genus, which will be published on his return from Europe. Although I have his
determinations of a large proportion of the species collected in the Mexican Boundary Survey,
I think it better to wait until his monograph appears, and thus to have the advantages of his
latest researches, rather than publish my own observations on this difficult genus.

for want of the means of comparison.

sigs This fine Datura, which has all the appearance of being indigenous in New Mexico and the adjacent provinces of Mexico,
must be the D. meteloides named by De Candolle, and described by Dunal in the Prodromus from one of the drawings by
Мосіпо and Sesse. But the distinctions between it and D. Metel are not well stated ; nor did Dunal himself identify the specie
in the specimens from Berlandier’s collection, No. 2156, gathered at Victoria, Tamaulipas, but referred them to D. Metel,
and, in consequence, Alphonse De Candolle, in the Geographie Botanique, 2, p. 135, allowsthem to have considerable weight in
favor of the American origin of D Metel. The only reason for doubting our New Mexican plant to be De Candolle’s D. mete-
loides is, that Dunal described it as having a * corolla 10-dentata,’ which our plant has not. But the slight folds answering to

the sinuses may have been exaggerated and misunderstood. From seeds gathered by Mr. Wright this species has been culti-

vated in the Cambridge Botanic Garden for several years, бог the past two years by the side of Datura Metel. The leading
diagnostic characters of the two may be expressed, as follows :

“D. Meret, Linn : viscidulo-pubescens ; caule subvilloso ; corolle tubo ultra calycem sensim modice dilatato, limbo 10-
dentata ; basi calycis persistente subcapsula ampla.

“ D. METELOIDES, DC.: pruinoso-glaucescens, vix заналыг ; flore suaveolente ; corolla supra calycem cylindricum valde
dilatata, limbo eximie 5-dentato ; basi calycis subcapsula persistente angusta ; foliis integerrimis.

** D. meteloides, although with us a lower plant than D. Metel, is more showy ; its corollas (tinged with bluish purp' е) are
more dilated-funnelform and larger, measuring 5 or 6 inches in diameter of the limb, and often 8 inches in length ; and what
may be called the limb is on each side equal in length to the part of the tube which projects beyond the calyx. In D. Metel
the throat is much narrower, and the limb proportionally smaller, say 4 or 4! inches in diameter. In D, meteloides there are
no teeth or projections whatever at the sinuses of the corolla, nor does the slight plaiting there give the appearance of teeth ; but
the five proper teeth are very salient, narrowly subulate, and half an inch in length. The capsule is nearly glabrous, and with
shorter prickles than the cultivated D. Mete], but otherwise similar, as are the seeds; the persistent and reflexed base of the
calyx, however, is much smaller. The herbage has somewhat of the disagreeable odor of D. Metel, but the flowers are sweet-
scented.” A. Gray.

think the genus should be united to Browallia. We are also disposed to adopt the views of those
botanists who would remove the tribe Salpiglossidee from Scrophulariacew to Solanaceæ ; but
we are not prepared to go so far as to unite these plants and certain tribes of the latter family
into an intermediate order. The limits of these orders can not yet be fixed with any degree of
precision. | :

of California. It begins to flower when scarcely an inch high, but at length, in good soil, attains
the height ofa foot or more. The flowers vary greatly in size, from less than an inch to an inch
in diameter. They are of a bright rose color with a yellow centre. We refer here E. Muhlen-
bergii, Benth. Pl. Hartw., apparently a mere dwarf, small-flowered state of the plant, which we
have from several collectors. This species is known in California by the name of Canchalagua,
a bitter tonic of considerable reputation; but E. tricantha is often confounded with it, and
possesses similar virtues. The same name has long been applied to E. Chilensis. Gyrandra
speciosa, Benth. Bot. Sulph. р. 127, t. 45, differs from this species chiefly in the shorter filaments,
and in being more spreading. 工 have noticed at least in one species that the filaments increase
in length after flowering, as do the tube of the corolla and the style. In authentic specimens of
Berlandier, (whose plant is certainly annual, not as stated by Grisebach, perennial,) the stem is
4-angled, as in all the species of Erythrwa. The genus Gyrandra seems to have no characters
by which it can be distinguished from Erythrea. The segments of the calyx are somewhat cari-
nate, but not winged as in some genuine Erythrwa, The corolla is of the same form in both
genera. The anthers of E. Centaurium, as well as of other species that I have examined, are
as destitute of a connective as are those of Gyrandra.

The lobes of the corolla are not “linear and very acute," but lanceolate and rather obtuse.
Grisebach probably drew his description from specimens which were dried without pressure, so
that the lobes of the corolla had become involute and apparently very narrow as well as acute.
A fter a careful comparison of original specimens of E. tricantha and E. floribunda, (the California
plant of Benth. Pl. Hartweg,) I have little doubt that they are forms of one species. E. flori-
bunda differs only in the broader lobes of the corolla.

feet high, often a little branching at the summit. Leaves 3-1 inch long, and 1-1 inch wide,
often obtuse, but usually with a short abrupt point, the petioles scarcely more than a line in length.
Flowers of a spicy odor. Calyx with numerous (80—40) minute subulate glands on the inside
surrounding the base of the corolla. Corolla white, tinged with rose externally; the tube 8—5
inches long, the upper part, for about an inch, 3 times the diameter of the lower portion, not

unequal obtuse compressed distinct glands, which are about half the length of the ovary.
Follicles about 3 inches long, very slender and tapering to a long point. Seeds oblong-
linear ; testa wrinkled ; the coma at each end longer than the body of the seed. Very much
resembles E. hypoleuca, Benth ; but that has longer peduncles, a velvety-pubescent corolla, the
tube of which is only twice the length of the lobes and dilated about one-half its length as well
as constricted at the orifice; also two of the glands of the nectary are connate.

sulphur- yellow, somewhat salverform ; the tube shorter than the obovate lobes. Stamens united
about middle of the tube of the corolla ; anthers oblong, rather acute, rather longer than the
free portion of the filaments. Ovaries oblong, distinct, each 7-8-ovuled; style rather stout.
Stigma oblong-capitate, entire. Pods 2 inches long, very slender, tapering to along narrow
point. Seeds oblong-linear, the testa wrinkled, each extremity furnished with a coma of white
hairs, which are longer than the body of theseed. "This genus was founded on a Mexican plant ;
and part of the character, especially what relates to the seed, is drawn from an unpublished figure
of Mocino and Sesse. Notwithstanding the seed is said to be hairy only at the upper extremity,
I strongly suspect that the coma of the lower end had become detached, as it is very deciduous.
Our plant agrees in every respect with H. cimicidum, except that the latter is said to have leaves
2-21 inches long and 8-10 lines wide.

coriaceous, transversely and reticulately veined, mostly retuse or emarginate, with a small
abrupt point; the lower ones almost orbicular ; petiole 1-3 lines long. Umbels several, in the
axils of the upper leaves. Peduncles 2—4 їнэ long. Flowers much resembling those of A.

broad, obliquely truncated, the horn with the acute point exserted and projected partly over
the stigma, tne upper margin undulately 2-3-toothed. Horny margins of the anthers angularly
dilated at the base. This species was first discovered by Dr. James, on Long's Expedition to
the Rocky Mountains, and was doubtfully regarded as a variety of A. obtusa in my account of
the plants collected by that botanist. It was afterwards found by Lieut. Abert, as well as by
Fendler, in New Mexico. M? 772, ‚

differs in the lanceolate acute leaves and in some other unimportant characters.

West Indian specimens of B. scandens. Indeed, Dr. Gray suspected they were not distinct.
The free portion of the calyx-tube is as short in the latter as in the former, and neither plant is
climbing, being only prostrate, or not unfrequently even erect ; so that the specific name is in-
appropriate. /// ر‎

BOERHAAVIA ERIOSOLENA, Gray, 1. с. р. 322. Gravelly plains near Presidio del Norte, and

fructified, and then the somewhat persistent tube becomes more or less elongated, sometimes
5-8 lines or more ; but the limb, in such cases, does not expand.

2—3 inches in diameter, roughened on both sides, (at least in dry specimens,) with little elevated
‘dots or papillz, and the upper surface somewhat flocculose-pubescent, Panicle naked or with
only a pair of small leaves at the base of the lowest branches. Flowers somewhat fasciculate
toward the summit of the branchlets. Perianth with the free portion of the tube nearly an inch
long, the limb ovate but scarcely expanded in any of our specimens; the adherent portion of
the tube expanded at the summit into an annulate narrow wing. Fruit about 24 lines long,
turbinate, crowned with a conical summit. This is evidently allied to the last species, and is 8
very remarkable plant. .

ALLIONIA, Linn. pro parte, Chois. (This genus should: by right, have borne the name of
Wedelia, Гў. , and Oxybaphus that of Allionia, Leal.) Although the number of parts in the
involucre may well be more important than the number of flowers it incloses as Choisy remarks,
yet the principal character of Allionia is in the fruit,

OXYBAPHUS. x
The 188 sections founded on the number of the flowers in the involucre are of small value in
this genus. Betero’s No. 495, referred by Choisy to O. ovatus, and probably (with Calyxhy-
menia ovata, R. £ P.?) only a form of O. viscosus, exhibits two if not three flowers in the same
involucre. No. 511 of Dr. Gregg’s Мехїсс 1 Collection i is in the same case, and is pretty clearly
O. viscosus notwithstanding. And I think that Wright’ 8 No. 605, with Dp and depu

tuberculate fruit, is only a similar state of O. glabrifolius. The 3-flowered species occasionally
bear four or five flowers. |

Our species are exceedingly variable, and hard to fix by characters. The tubercles or papille
develope variously in the same species, and they also change after wetting, deliquescing more
or less into mucilage. The earlier flowers of O. nyctagineus, and ا‎ of other s
are apt to fructify precociously.

I can understand our species only as follows:

Achenium enclosed in the connivent perianth, triquetrous, smooth. Embryo incurved, excentric.
On high plains near San Juan de la Vagueria, Dr. Gregg found an Eriogonum that seems to
be a variety of this species, but it differs in the following characters: var. FOLIOSUM : caule
scabriuseulo 2-3-chotome ramoso, axillis foliosis. Plant about a foot high, more branched than
the preceding; the radical leaves smaller, less ciliate, and of a somewhat fleshy texture. Cauline ~
leaves about three quarters of an inch long; smooth. Peduncles one to one and a half inch
long. Sepals united to the middle, closing around the fruit.

long, 11-2 lines wide, smooth, tapering at the base. Glomerules of flowers about one-third of
an inch in diameter, the upper ones aggregated in a long naked spike. Bracts subulate. Peri-
anth parted nearly to the base; the segments spreading, mostly broader than long, abruptly
narrowed to a short claw, the summit cut into irregular acute teeth or laciniw. Ovary globose

(Wright, Nos. 586 and 1754.) This plant occurs only in the collections of Mr. Wright. It is
certainly the same as Drummond’s, on which the species was founded. We have no original
specimens of G. tenuiflorus for comparison, but we believe that it is not distinct from G. rigidiflorus.
In our Drummondian specimens of the latter, the plant is in fruit and the stamens are withered.
In the more complete ones of Mr. Wright the filaments are ovate-lavceolate, as they are described
in G. tenuiflorus; and in both they are connate at the base. The relative length of the bracts
and calyx depends on the age of the flower.

but we have not found staminodia in any other of this group.

All our specimens are female. No. 589, Wright, is the male plant, in which there are small
subulate staminodia between the filaments ; thus resembling Ireneis, of Moquin, a genus scarcely
distinct from Iresine.

Mexico and Sonora, flowering through the summer. (Nos. 591 and 1756, Wright; Nos. 726:

and 727, Fendler ‚ Nos. 835 and 2255, Berlandier.) In Emory’s Report I noticed a remarkable
character in the specimens examined. The flowers become imbedded in the branches on which
they grow, so that when in fruit they are partly or wholly concealed ; on which account I pro-
posed to call it Endotheca. This character is, however, not constant, or is only seen in old
specimens. Somctimes the short branches, with the cluster of flowers at the summit subtended
by two or three leaves, will assume the appearance of a pedunculate head, furnished with an
involucre. The peduncle becomes thickened upward, as does likewise the confluent bases of the
leaves, involving more or less the flowers. In the young state the plant is densely woolly with

Schott. A shrub apparently 2-3 feet high, the branches very crooked and interlaced. Leaves
1-11 inch in diameter, the margin cut into coarse, more or less acute salient teeth. Male flowers
in dense glomerules, which are collected into axillary and terminal paniculate spikes. 了 ructi-
ferous bracts more than one-third of an inch in diameter, reticulately veined, only united at the

Alluvions of the Gila, Sonora, May ; Schott. Stem apparently annual and about a span long ;
the branches flexuous. Leaves 8-12 lines long and 3-5 lines broad. Male flowers in small
terminal spikes ; female flowers in small axillary clusters. Fructiferous bracts almost exactly
orbicular, very flat, 13 line in diameter, neatly cut around the margin into very short acute
teeth, the disk marked with a central, longitudinal, slightly prominent keel. We cannot
identify this plant with any of the species of Obione described by Moquin; it is most nearly
related to the following :

OBIONE ELEGANS, Mog. l. c. p. 113, var.? RADIATA. Rio Sta. Murin, Chihuahua, August;
Thurber, Western Texas, (No. 571 and 1743.) We are not confident as to our determination
of this plant. Our specimens are certainly annual ; the leaves are rather obtuse than acute ;
the fructiferous bracts are scarcely pedicellate and they are united to the middle. The margin
is cut into strong acute radiating teeth.

OBIONE ELEGANS, var.? TUBERCULOSA: foliis repando-denticulatis; bracteis orbiculatis, margine
dentatis, disco tumido cartilagineo medio tuberculoso-dentatis. Western Texas; Wright. Plant
about a foot high, apparently annual. Differs from the last, chiefly in the tumid fructiferous
bracts, the disks of which, on each side of the median line, are furnished with 2-3 acute
tubercles.

OBIONE ACANTHOCARPA- (n. sp.): caule suffructicoso erecto ramoso, ramis subteretibus iner-
mibus ; foliis deltoideo-lanceolatis spathulatisve integris vel repando-dentatis densissime lepidotis

1-2 feet high, much branching from the ground. Leaves somewhat persistent, about an inch
long, often somewhat hastate at the base, usually somewhat repand-dentate or denticulate.
Fertile flowers glomerate in the upper axils, forming a kind of leafy panicle. Male spikes panicu-
late, nearly naked. Fructiferous bracts indurated, covered with long flat or compressed rigid
processes which resemble spines. Near Fort Yuma, California, Major Thomas collected an
Obione which appears to be a variety of this species. It sometimes attains the height of 6—10
feet. The leaves are deltoid-ovate, very obtuse and somewhat undulate. Only the male plant
was found. It is the same as O. Barclayana of Durand and Hilgard's Report of Williamson's
Expedition, but apparently not of Bentham.

Mexicans believe it to be a certain cure for the bite of a rattlesnake and other poisonous animals

The bruised fresh plant or the dried, steeped in wine, is applied to the wound. A tincture of
the plant is sometimes kept in the apothecarys’ shops of that country. According to Dr. Gregg,
the name Golondrina is applied to all the prostrate Euphorbie.

EUPHORBIA INJEQUILATERA, Sonder in Linnea, 23, р. 105. I cannot distinguish from this plant
of the Cape of Good Hope a species of the plains of Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas, and which
extends into New Mexico, California, and Oregon. There it has been collected since the
explorations of Nicollet and Frémont by almost every traveller, (e. g., Fendler, 191, 795, 803;
Wright, 666, 1823, (in part,) 1846.) The same plant has been sent from Florida by Blodgett
and Chapman, is found on the West India Islands, is undoubtedly the E. Nilagirica, Mig., of
India, and has also been observed in New Holland ; but it seems unknown in other States east
of the Mississippi.

guished by smaller anthodia, generally disposed in denser clusters, smaller capsules and smaller
paler seeds. The common North American form, which has also been collected abundantly
along the boundary, has larger and more scattered anthodia, larger capsules and larger blackish
seeds, and may be distinguished as var. communis, as it seems to be the more common form
throughout the warmer countries around the whole globe.

Leaves 1-1 inch long, ovate, or elliptical-oblong, obtuse or acute, denticulate-serrate. Clusters
or short racemes axillary, 4-5-flowered ; one or two of the flowers fertile, the others staminate,
Petals of the staminate flowers rhombic-lanceolate, acuminate. Stamens 10, in 2 series, the
filaments united into a slender column, at the base of which are 5 oblong erect glands. Fertile
flowers 5-petalled, with 5 linear short glands alternating with the petals. Ovary trigastric,
very hispid ; styles deeply 2-parted ; the divisions linear. Seed the size of a large pin-head,
globose-obovate, gray, corrugated.

We have incomplete specimens (with staminate flowers only) of an allied species, or a variety
of this plant, collected by Mr. Schott, on the Sierra del Tule, Sonora. It is much larger than
A. serrata; the branches are quite smooth, and the oblong remotely denticulate leaves (1—2
inches das are only sparsely hirsute. "The racemes, or spikes, are axillary, 8-10-flowered, on
peduncles about as long as the p tioles. Segments of the calyx narrowly lanceolate. Petals 5,
rhombic-lanceolate, purple. Stamens 10, in two series, one above the other; the filaments
united into a column, with 5 oblong glands at the base. Another allied species, or probably
variety, was found by Mr. Blodgett, in dry places, at Key West. It seems to be a prostrate
annual, slightly hirsute, with ovate-oblong acute sub-sessile leaves, which are either denticulate-
serrate, or nearly entire. Clusters 4—5-flowered. Petals of the staminate flowers oblong, a
little exceeding the calyx. Fertile flowers 5-petalled, the petals ovate, half the length of the
calyx. Glands very short and emarginate. Seed sub-globose, reticulate-corrugate.

Sangre de Drago. Dr. Gregg, who found the present species in Chihuahua and other parts of
Mexico, says it is astringent, and is employed by the natives as a remedy for sore gums and
loose teeth. Mr. Schott found on the Sierra del Tule and Tinaja Alta, in Sonora, incomplete
specimens of a Mozinna, which is probably a variety or state of M. spathulata, The leaves are
about one-third of an inch long, obovate-cuneate, obtuse or emarginate, and the inflorescence is
more expanded, so as to be somewhat paniculate. The fertile flowers were not collected.

filaments of which are scarcely united at the base. Fertile flowers not seen. Fruit solitary
and resembling that of 5. salicifolium, except in being larger. The plant seems to be dioecious.

The genera Sapium and Stillingia are, we think, very properly united by Klotsch. Long
ago Ad. Jussieu remarked (Huphorb. p. 50) that they were scarcely distinct and ought perhaps to
form one genus. The calyx of the staminate flowers is the same in both, although it is described
as tubular in the latter. The number of staminate flowers under a single bract or involucre is
not а sufficient distinction. There are several in S. sylvaticum and 8. salicifolium ; but in S.
annuum and 5. ligustrinum they are solitary.

hills along the Gila and westward to San Diego; not uncommon in various parts of southern
California, Nuttall did not see the fruit. This is about three-fourths of an inch long, ovate
and obtusely triangular, abruptly pointed, and somewhat resembles the gland of an acorn. At
maturity it splits into 3 valves; the dehiscence being loculicidal. It usually contains but a
single seed, which is conformed to the cavity of the pericarp. The embryo is wholly destitute
of albumen. The cotyledons are very thick and fleshy, and they cohere together, so that they
only separate after considerable boiling. The radicle is minute and superior. The nuts have
somewhat the flavor of filberts, but the after-taste is rather nauseous, and they are apt to cause
purging. Mr. Nuttall thinks this genus is very clearly allied to Garrya, but it differs in several
important characters. Lindley places it, without a remark, in Euphorbiaceae, ard we are inclined
to follow him, notwithstanding the absence of albumen.

lanceolate, acute leaves, which are 8-4 inches long, and from three-quarters of an inch to nearly

1-3 minute teeth, nearly smooth and pale green above, very densely yellowish-tomentose
underneath. The acorns are nearly sessile, solitary and in pairs; the cup hemispherical with
broad, obtuse, pubescent scales, and the unripe acorn is ovate. Q. cinerea differs in its much

There are numerous specimens in the Mexican Boundary Collections, of an Ephedra, found at
Frontera and near Doña Ana, which may be a distinct species, but I suspect it is an abnormal state -
of E. antisiphilitica. It is a shrub of 3 to 5 feet in height. The fertile aments are ovate-oblong,
«J > and instead of four decussating pairs of connate thickish, or at length succulent scales, there
1777777" ave trom 16 to 20 very broad, entire, thin and membranaceous scales, which are distinct, contracted
into а short stipe at the base, and irregularly inserted on the axis. "They are at first loosely
imbricated, but at length more or less spreading. The seed (immature) is ovate with a tapering
point, and except the long obliquely truncated micropyle, is wholly covered with the scales.

23 Another Ephedra occurs at Fronteras, and it has also been found at Ojo de Vaca in Chihuahua,
Ё oy PY Mr. Thurber. It resembles the one just noticed, but the scales, though equally numerous
ry = and arranged in the same manner, are smaller and less membranaceous. They are also minutely
erose-serrulate. The seeds, however, are roughened with minute points which are sometimes
disposed in short transverse rows, so that, unless pretty highly magnified, they look like
wrinkles of the testa. The micropyle is conspicuously exserted beyond the scales. There are
usually but two seeds in each fertile ament, but not unfrequently three. The arrangement of
the scales of the fertile aments in these two Ephedre is so much at variance with the character
of the genus, that it seems most probable they are abnormal forms,

pairs, very rarely in threes. Gordon, in the work just quoted, refers this species to P. mono-
phylla, Torr. & Frém.,the name of which, he says, was changed to P. Fremontiana by Pro-

— fessor Endlicher, (Syn. Conif. p. 188,) because that botanist having ‘ ‘afterwards examined more
perfect specimens, found that the leaves were in twos and threes, and that the solitary leaves
arose from Dr. Torrey’s specimens being gathered from stunted plants.’ Now, we find that
Endlicher in his Synop. Conif. has no remarks of this kind. His entire description is taken
from mine in Frémont's 2d Report; but he regards what І call a single leaf, as consisting of — .
two united leaves. Col. Frémont found extensive forests of the tree in his first expedition, as + |
well as in his journey of 1853-'54. Dr. Bigelow also found it in Whipple's expedition on the a
mountains of California, but in consequence of an oversight it was not included in the Botanical || :
Report of that expedition. The characters appearing to be so constant, I retain the species, and
wait for additional observations on the plant in its native places of growth. It would be de-
sirable, also, to test the constancy of the species by cultivation. Gordon’s ж (1. с.) герге-

& round, even head. The young trees remarkably symmetrical, like some cedars, with the
broad base resting on the ground, the trunk and branches being completely hidden by the

a)

dense foliage. The upper branches are usually loaded with cones." The leaves are mostly in
fours, but sometimes in threes, and often in fives. They are crowded towards the summit of the
branches, 14 to 2 inches long, and a little curved. Cones about 2 inches long, globose-ovate,
disposed near the extremity of the last year's growth, and are at a right angle to the branch.
They are often somewhat gibbous, the convexity being upward. The scales are few, with the
summit obtusely pyramidal. Seeds obovate, wingless, large for the size of the cone, with a thin
fragile shell, and an edible kernel. The Indians collect large quantities of them for food.
When fresh and slightly roasted they are very palatable. There can be little doubt of this
being distinct from the Pinus cembroides of Mexico. The leaves of the latter are shorter and
constantly in threes, (and the cones are three or four times Jarger, with much more numerous
scales.

more or less gibbous.

(Tab. LVII.) Mountains east of San Diego, California; Parry. One of the largest of the
California pines, being often from 60 to 100 feet high, and the trunk 2 to 4 feet in diameter.
It is remarkable for its spreading branches, and for its large heavy cones with strong hooked
scales. The nuts are large and edible. Immense quantities of them are collected by the Cali-
fornia and Oregon Indians, who depend upon them for a large portion of their winter food.

10 miles north of San Diego, California; Parry. A small tree, seldom more than 20 or 30
feet high, with a trunk 12 to 15 inches in diameter ; often almost prostrate from its being exposed
to strong ocean gales. Bark of the young branches whitish ; the lower part of the trunk scaly.
Branches horizontal, but curved upward towards the extremity. Leaves stouter than in any
other North American pine, rough on the margin, abruptly pointed, the sheaths nearly two
lines in diameter and an inch and a half long in the young leaves. Cones conical-globose, about
41 inches long. Seeds, without the wing, three-fourths of an inch long, with a thick bony
shell. This is the only pine of the section Pseudo-strobus found within the limits of our flora.
P. Apulcensis which resembles it, differs in its more slender and shorter leaves, and ovate

smaller cones, &c. It is also allied to P. Orizabe, Gordon in Lond. Hort. Jour. 1, р. 281 cum
icon,, but that has very slender leaves, which are extremely rough on the angle, and ovate cones.

[Dr. Bigelow collected near San Elceario, on the Rio Grande, a Sagittaria which was over.
looked when Dr. Engelmann revised the genus in my herbarium in 1856. It seems to be the
same as a plant from western Texas, which Dr. E. named, provisionally, S. longiloba, and which
he regarded as very near S. simplex. We can find no sufficient characters for distinguishing it
from that species. The leaves, however, are sagittate, with very long, narrow, and widely
diverging lobes, a state in which we have never seen S. simplex. J. T.]

This is one of the species called Maguey by the Mexicans. It is an exceedingly useful plant, as
will be seen from Mr. Schott’s notes. In many parts of Mexico, where it is now very common,
it has doubtless been introduced.

AGAVE AMERICANA, 8? LATIFOLIA : foliis ovatis acuminatis; floribus minoribus. Hills near

the margin armed with short spreading or reversed prickles. From the centre rises a flower
stalk to the height of 10 feet. Only the withered and somewhat persistent flowers were col-
lected. "These are scarcely one-third as large as those of the narrower leaved plant. The capsule
is smooth, oblong, an inch and a half long, and three-fourths of an inch in diameter. We are
yet in doubt as to whether this is a distinct species from A. Americara. Both are called Maguey
in some parts of New Mexico and on the Gila, but sometimes the latter only is so named, and
the other Mescal.

channelled above, terminating in a stout spine, the margin armed with short strong hooked
prickles, which are usually reversed. Scape 6-10 feet long, the upper part pretty thickly
covered with flowers, which are mostly in pairs (the lowest in threes) and arise from very short
(1-2 lines) forked peduncles or branches. Bracts lanceolate from a broad clasping base, 2 lines
long, deciduous. The perianth above the ovary is about an inch long, white with a tinge of
yellow, and the segments are narrowly-oblong. S'amens and style much exserted. Stigma
clavate, obtuse, obscurely 3-lobed. Capsule about an inch long and half an inch in diameter,
erect, obtusely triangular, with a short abrupt acumination. Seeds in a double series, semior-
bicular, compressed vertically, black and shining. We cannot identify this species among those
described by Kunth and later writers. The fibres of the leaves are used for making coarse ropes,
` bagging, etc.

extremely variable species, of which 8. Bona nox, S. hastata and S. pandurata are doubtless
mere varieties. My friend, Dz. Chapman, who has carefully studied, in a living state, the

Kunth are also forms of S. tamnoides.

articulated close to the flower. Spathe of 4—5 lanceolate acuminate valves, which are nearly
distinct to the base. Sepals 4—5 lines long, orange-yellow, oblong, rather obtuse, with a ciliolate
callosity at the tip. Stamens one fourth shorter than the sepals; filaments filiform, with an
oblong adnate tooth on each side at the base. Ovary oblong ; style about as long as the sepals,
filiform ; stigma very small, 3-lobed. Capsule (immature) obovate ; seeds compressed. This
species resembles a small Calliproa lutea. It differs from most of the genuine species of Allium
in its yellow flowers, more numerous ovules, and articulated pedicels.

numerous specimens of what I have taken for it having 6 perfect stamens. As an early figure
of Hookeria pulchella, Salisb., which several botanists have referred to B. congesta, represented

the flowers as hexandrous, I supposed that the fertile stamens were commonly 6, I have,
however, just examined a Brodiwa from Oregon, which exactly accords with Smith’s description
of B. congesta. Nevertheless it is possible that the usually abortive stamens are sometimes
antheriferous. |

ANDROSTEPHIUM VIOLACEUM.— Hills and prairies on the rivers Blanco and Colorado, Texas,
March ; Wright. We have excellent specimens from Dr. R. Gleason, United States army,

collected near Fort Arbuckle; and it occurs in Lindheimer's Texan collection fasc. IV. Leaves /¥ 5

6-8 inches long and 1-2 lines wide, arising from a small coated bulb which surmounts a depressed
globose bulb or corm. Scape about as long as the leaves, rather stout, bearing at the summit
an umbel of 2—7 flowers, which have a faint sweet odor. Bracts scarious, lanceolate, acuminate,
3-nerved. Pedicels rather shorter than the flower. Perianth nearly an inch long, 6-cleft nearly
to the middle, the segments more or less spreading, oblong, obtuse. Stamens 6, the free portion
of the filaments united into a tube which arises from the orifice of the perianth is conspicuously
exserted, and produced between and beyond the anthers into a crown of 6 oblong emarginate
lobes. Anthers linear-oblong, notched at each end. Style about as long as the stamens. Ovary
entirely free from the base of the perianth. Capsule sessile, with 3 very prominent laterally
compressed lobes or cells, which open loculicidally. Seed suborbicular, laterally much com-
pressed and narrowly winged, vertically imbricated in a double series. Embryo slender,
cylindrical, a little curved in the axis of fleshy albumen. The Mexican genus Bessera most
resembles this, but it differs in the very short tube of the perianth, in the tube of filaments having
only a short tooth between the filaments, and in the form of the capsule.

Leaves usually less than 3 lines wide. Stem scapiform, 14-3 feet long, very slender, often nearly
simple above, but more commonly somewhat paniculately branched, the branches erect. Flowers
2-4 or more together in fascicles; the terminal ones racemose and mostly solitary. Pedicels
jointed about one-third their length from the base. The expanded perianth about three-fourths
of an inch in diameter, orange-yellow; segments narrowly oblong, with closely approximated
nerves along the middle. Stamens scarcely half the length of the perianth; filaments roughened
with short, obtuse, somewhat retorse teeth; anthers linear-oblong. Ovary obovate, the cells
with about 16 anatropous ovules in a double series; stylefone-third longer than the stamens,
filiform ; stigma minutely 3-lobed, ciliolate-papillose. Capsule oblong-obovate, obtuse, 3-lobed,
thin. Seeds angular, black. E. terniflora differs from our plant in the leaves being 6-7 lines
wide, the pedicels jointed in the middle and the more numerous ovules (23-24 in each cell of
the ovary.) :

Dr. Hale, and in East Florida by Mr. Buckley and Dr. Chapman. Rhizoma oblong or some-
times elongated, about as thick as the little finger, crowned with a scaly bud or bulb. Leaves
1-13 foot long, narrowly linear, glabrous, somewhat channelled above, and rounded underneath.
Scape 14-3 feet high, terete, slender, simple, or with a few branches above. Racemes 8-25-flow-
ered, the pedicels 5-8-lines long, somewhat spreading, with short bracts at the base. Perianth,
when expanded, 4-5 lines in diameter, spreading, white, the 3 exterior sepals greenish externally
along the middle. Stamens a little shorter than the perianth ; filaments white. Capsule coriaceous,
somewhat truncate, with 3 rounded lobes ; cells 1-2-seeded, one or two of them abortive. Seeds
_ globose-obovate, black and shining. Embryo straight in the axis of fleshy albumen. The
flowers of this species are yellowish when dry, a circumstance which doubtless gave rise to the
specific name of Michaux, but which had best be superseded, as it may lead to error. 8. album,
Durand, differs in its pedicels being much shorter than the subulate bracts ; in the oval sepals
which are narrowed towards the base, and in the almost confluent nerves. The perianth is also
of much more delicate texture than in S. Michauxii, and dries white. This genus was indicated
in Durand’s account of a collection of California plants made by Mr. H. Pratten and published
in the Journal of the Academy of Philadelphia (n. ser. vol. 2.) It is much more nearly related
to Ornithogalum than to Phalangium.

stigmate integro truncato. Gravelly hills near the mouth of the Pecos; Bigelow. Stony hills
west of the Nueces, Texas; Wright, (No. 1908). Caudex apparently very short. Leaves 12-
18 inches long, 4—5 lines wide, conduplicate when dry, very smooth, acute at the tip, but not
pungent ; the filaments on the margin 1-2 inches long and about as thick as common sewing-
thread. Scape 8—4 feet long, with distant clasping bracts ; the upper part racemose and some-
what branching. Pedicels 3-4 together, 6-10 lines long, arising from the axis of a clasping
bract, erect, a little thickened upward and articulated close to the flower. Perianth white? the
divisions about three-fourths of an inch long, scarcely 2 lines wide, rather obtuse, ( ‘scarcely )
united at the base. Stamens 6, shorter than the perianth ; anthers oblong; bifid at the base.
Ovary oblong, 3-celled; the cells with numerous horizontal ovules; style a little exserted,
filiform, triangular and a little enlarged toward the extremity, This differs from all the other
species of the genus in its elongated filiform style and narrow sepals. The fruit of Mr. Wright's
specimens in Dr. Gray’s herbarium is unripe. It is subglobose, and about ап inch in diameter.
As Mr. Wright likens it to a fig, it is doubtless fleshy.

А. Schott, MSS. Valley of the Santa Cruz river, and Sierra del Pajarito, near the monument,
Sonora, June ; Schott. Stems 6-8 feet high. Leaves mostly іп a terminal crown, about a foot
long and 5-6 lines wide, concave above, a little rounded underneath, of a thick and firm texture,
with a few loose threads on the margin, the apex armed with a spine. The persistent retrorsely
imbricated vestiges of former leaves give the stem a very rough appearance. Scape 2-3 feet
long, paniculate above, pubescent. Bracts at the base of the branches lanceolate, tapering to
along point. Flowers apparently white. Sepals broadly elliptical 1} inch long, rather acute.
Fruit about 23 inches long, and 11 in diameter, pointed with the base of the styles. “This is
the Sotol of the Sonorians, but not of the Texans along the Rio Grande. It bears large fleshy
fruits which are edible, and called Datili, probably on account of their shape.’’—Schott.

Yucca RUPICOLA, Scheele in Linnea, 23, p. 143. Y. tortifolia, Lindh. MSS. Gravelly hills and
plains, western Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua, April-May. (No. 688, 689, and 1,909,
Wright. No. 109, Fasc. IV, Lindheimer.) Fruit an inch and a half long, dry or nearly so, often
remarkably constricted near the middle.

Yucca Baccara (n. sp.): foliis lanceolatis planis crebris margine filamentiferis apice convolutis,
spina terminali brevi ; floribus campanulatis; fructibus 18 cernuis ovatis baccatis. Раттав,
Cohahuila; Thurber. High table lands between the Rio Grande and the Gila; Major Emory.
This is the same species that is noticed inthe Botany of Whipple’s Report as having been found
at Hurrah Creek, New Mexico, by Dr. Bigelow. According to Dr. Bigelow it is a low species,
with a subterranean caudex. We have no information as to the length of the scape. The
flowers appear to form a racemose panicle. They are larger than in any other species of Yucca
here noticed ; the sepals being 24-3 inches long, tapering to each end and 6-7 lines wide in the
middie. .The fruit is the size of a large fig, with a sweet edible pulp. Near Monterey, Cali-
fornia, Dr. Parry collected the leaves of аг yucca resembling those of this species, except in
being smaller. On the plains of western Texas; near the Limpio, and in the vicinity of Presidio
del Norte, Dr. Purse found a yucca 10-15 feet high, with leaves almost exactly like those of

232 UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN BOUNDARY.

Y. baccata, but the fruit is longer, though not greater in diameter, and the pulp is thicker. It
may, till better known, be regarded as a variety (macrocarpa) of that species. We have from
Mr. Thurber the leaves and a portion of the fruit of a yucca which he collected near Parras, in
Cohahuila, where it covers the table lands. It is a tree sometimes twenty-five feet or more in
height, with several spreading branches. The leaves are about 15 inches long, and from an inch
to an inch and a half wide, flat, terminating in a spiny point, and the margin filamentous. The
fruit is two or three inches long, and has a thin sweet pulp. The seeds are thick and black.
A figure of the plant is given in Bartlett's narrative, vol. 2, p. 491. Our specimens are hardly
sufficient for determining whether it is a described species. It may not be distinct from the
yucca found by Dr. Bigelow. Mr. Schott, in his notes, states that on the upper Rio Grande
Һе saw a yucca, bearing edible fruits, with a stem 18 inches in diameter. The trunks have been
used in Mexico as palisades in the construction of stockades. Besides the above species, there
are two or three others in the collections, which I have not been able to determine satisfactorily
for want of sufficient materials. One is a yucca found by Mr. Schott on rocks near San Pasqual,
southern California. It is the same that is doubtfully referred to Y. aloifolia in the Botany of
Whipple’s Report, (excluding the synon. and No. 1909, Wright.) The caudex is 1-2 feet high,
and the scape 2-3 feet. The leaves are 18 inches or more in length, channelled on the upper
side, rounded or obtusely angular underneath, and slightly serrulate-scabrous on the margin;
the apex convolute and spiniferous. The flowers (as represented in a sketch) are in a spreading
panicle. Capsule coriaceous, obovate, and somewhat truncate, 3-lobed, an inch and a quarter
long and of nearly the same breadth. Seeds semiorbicular, thin and flat. If it prove to be a
distinct species it may be called Y. Whipplei. The late Dr. Gregg found between Parras and
Cerralbo a yucca between 20 and 30 feet in height; but his specimens are too imperfect for
comparison.

В.? LATIFOLIA : foliis ovatis tenuibus basi obtusis summis cordatis glabris, vaginis ore ciliatis ;
spatha subtriflora brevi rostrata basi subturbinata.—Shady alluvions of the lower Rio Grande,
September ; Schott. Stem branching, (only the upper part seen,) glabrous. Leaves very thin,
2-3 inches long, 1-14 inch wide, acute. Flowers only 2 and sometimes a rudiment in one
spatha. Sepals and petals nearly as in C. Virginica, but the latter, Mr. Schott says, are white.
We need more specimens, in order to determine whether the plant is a distinct species.

CoMMELYNA LINEARIS, (Benth. Pl. Hartw. р. 27, var. LONGISPATHA :) caule erecto-subramoso ;
foliis lanceolato-linearibus complicatis, margine scabro ; spatha terminali complicata longissime

sessili lateralibus paullo breviore.—Near the Copper Mines, New Mexico, August; Bigelow.
(No. 700, (in part) 1923 and 1930, Wright. No. 864, Fendler.) Stem 1-2 feet high, with
short axillary branches. Leaves 4—6 inches long, and about a quarter of an inch wide, tapering
at each end, slightly pubescent; the sheaths a little swollen, fringed at the orifice. Spatha
peduneulate, cordate, not at all turbinate at the base; the narrow tapering somewhat recurved
point 1-2 inches long; peduncles of the spatha hispidly pubescent, the terminal one much
exserted. Exserted flowering peduncle about an inch long. Exterior вера! ovate, acute,
carinate; the two lateral sepals united above the middle, obtuse. Petals bright blue, the
lateral ones unguiculate, the odd one about one-third smaller and sessile. Stamens 6; filaments
all glabrous ; 3 of the anthers abortive and cruciform ; the others fertile, oblong, one of them
larger and curved. Style long and slender, a little incurved toward the summit. Capsule
oblong, one of the cells usually abortive, the other cells 2-seeded. Seeds oblong or roundish,
corrugated. A well characterized species, remarkable for the long attenuated apex of the
spatha. I first received it from Lieutenant Abert, of the United States army, who collected it
on the Pecos river.

TRADESCANTIA VIRGINICA, Linn. Sp. p. 412; Kunth, Enum. 4, p. 81. Valley of the Limpio,

ovatis subamplexicaulibus acutis glabris margine serrulatis, vaginis brevibus ore ciliatis ;
umbella pauciflora sessili; sepalis obtusiusculis ad carinam hispidulis.—Lower Rio Grande,
towards the mouth, October; Schott. Stems flaccid, smooth, except the narrow alternate line
of pubescence. Leaves about three-fourths of an inch long, and one-third of an inch wide, the
two uppermost connate. Umbels only terminal in our specimens. Pedicels 3-8 lines long,
nearly smooth. Flowers scarcely one-third of an inch in diameter. Sepals ovate-oblong, equal.
Petals pale blue, one-third longer than the sepals, obovate-orbicular. Stamens 6; filaments
all bearded ; anthers all similar and fertile ; the cells separated by a broad connective. Ovary
obovate ; style long and slender ; stigma peltate-capifate. This species has the aspect of Callisia

plant is certainly very unlike that of T. leiandra, but the pedicels and flowers are so similar
that I hesitate to separate it as a distinct species.

barbatis, una imberbe. Shady woods on the Blanco, Comale, and other rivers, Texas; Wright,
(Хо. 699.) San Antonio, Texas; Thurber. I have long had Texan specimens from Mr. Wright,
from near Austin, &c. The species is intermediate between Tradescantia and Commelyna ;
resembling the latter in the unequal petals and difformed stamens as well as in the terminal
leaf or bract (which is like a spatha laid open); and the former in the 6 fertile stamens with
bearded filaments. The plant seems to be an annual, and is a foot or 15 inches high. Lower leaves
4-6 inches long, and half an inch wide in the middle, the tapering base fringed with a few
long hairs, otherwise smooth ; upper leaves much shorter and rounded at the base. Peduncle
4-6 lines long. Raceme about 5-flowered; pedicels short, with ovate bracteoles at the base.
Sepals glabrous, green. The 2 lateral petals bright blue, nearly twice as long as the sepals, odd
one rhombie, white, less than one fourth as large as the others. The 3 stamens that are
opposite the petals shorter than the others and furnished with oblong anthers; filament of the
one opposite the small odd petal beardless, of the 2 lateral ones bearded with purpie hairs near
the base. The other three stamens have smaller roundish similar anthers ; the filament of the
middle one winged on each side, from the summit to nearly the base, with a membrane which
is fringed with yellow hairs; the other two filaments are bearded only near the summit, Ovary
ovate, 2-celled, (one of the cells abortive,) with 2 superimposed ovules in each cell; style long,
slender, and somewhat curved above; stigma capitate. Capsule oblong, cells 2-seeded, Seeds
as in the rest of the genus.

petals ; filaments bearded with white hairs ; cells of the anthers reniform, separated by a broad
connective. Style filiform ; stigma peltate-capitate. This species resembles T. rosea, but differs
in the smooth sheaths, compound umbel, etc. No. 701 of Mr. Wright’s Texan collection (1849)
seems to be a dwarf state of T. rosea, but our specimens are too imperfect for satisfactory
comparison.

angles. Leaves shorter than the culm, rough on the margin. Involucre of 2 very unequal leaves ;
one of the leaves nearly as long as the culm, of which it appears to be a continuation, the other
scarcely one fourth as long. Umbel somewhat capitate and apparently lateral, sometimes with
a single short ray. Spikelets 2—3 lines long. Scales light brown on the sides with a pale narrow
margin and keel. Rachis very narrow and zigzag, slightly margined. Allied to C. fuscus
of Europe.

CYPERUS MICHAUXIANUS, Schultes, Mant. 2, p. 123 ; Torr. Cyp. p. 259. Wet places, western

are furnished with conspicuous involucels.

CYPERUS TETRAGONUS, ЕЙ. Sk. 1, p. Т1; Torr. Сур. p. 261. Santa Cruz, Sonora; Thurber.
Since this plant was noticed in the Monograph of North American Сурегасеге, I have seen the
original specimens of Elliott, and have also received it from east Florida, Louisiana, and Texas.
The umbel consists of 4-10 somewhat spreading rays, each bearing a narrowly oblong spike an
inch or more in length. The spikes are either simple or they produce 1-3 smaller ones at the
base. Spikelets very numerous, obtuse and somewhat quadrangular, crowded on the rachis and
spreading horizontally, (or the lower ones reflexed,) about 2 lines long, usually perfecting 2 or
3 achenia. Scales oblong, rather obtuse, light brown on the sides, with a narrow stripe along
the obtuse keel. Stamens 3. Style deeply 3-cleft. Achenium oblong, triangular, dull,

westward to California. On the valley of the Sacramento, Dr. Hulse, there are thousands of
acres covered with this plant, and of the height of 9 or 10 feet. It is called Тиё or Giant rush.
It varies much in the size of the panicle. The perigynous bristles are mostly narrow and
retrorsely hispid, but sometimes broad and retrorsely or horizontally plumose. These characters
are not constant, there being intermediate forms. Bentham refers No. 2021 of Hartweg's Cali-
fornian collection to S. riparius, Presl, which Kunth regards as identical with Elytrospermum
Californicum, C. A. Mey. ; which again is the same as the earlier Malacochete of Nees. Іп our
specimen of Hartweg's plant there are four plumose bristles, while Meyer states that there are
but two in his Elytrospermum. The number of these organs is, however, by no means constant
in this genus, and in every other respect Elytrospermum resembles the form of Sc. lacustris with |

squamis oblongis arctis obovatis vix acutis; perigynio carente vel nimis immaturo; culmis
superne scabris subprostratis ? cum foliis bracteisque viridi glaucis. Banks of rivers, Santa
Barbara, California ; Parry.—This species has very variable spikes and form, as the description
shows ; spikes 6-8, cylindric; sometimes staminate 5 and pistillate 3, sometimes 4 and 3, some-
times 3 and 3, or again 3 and 4, most of which are long, and some very long; the staminate
upper 3 are approximate, so as to be almost geminate, the highest 3 inches long and ventricose
in the middle, and the lower a little remote and shorter, often one lower and a little remote and
rather long, and on one specimen geminate and one quite short; the staminate scale oblong,
obovate, dark red and pale on the back ; pistillate spikes 3, rarely 4, very long and slender, 4-8
inches, very loose-flowered, unequally pedunculate, the lowest long pedunculate and long
vaginate, all leafy bracteate, with scarcely the rudiment of fruit, or abortive, and with a
narrow, oblong, obovate scale scarcely acute; perigynium wanting, or too immature; culm
triquetrous above and scabrous, with glaucous leaves and bracts. This species has some affinity
to C. Darwinii, Boott. in Trans. Linn. 20, р. 120, but the numerous differences far separate the
two. There may have been some crushing of the culms to account for their prostrate appear-
ance, without which, at least, the pistillate spikes must have been long-retrocurved as in C.
pendula, Gooden.
