[Visited  Valparaiso  in  October  and  November,  1825 ; and  again  Valparaiso  and  Coquimbo  in  May,  1828.] 

After  tbe  investigations  of  Feuillee,  of  Ruiz  and  Pavon,  of  the  Naturalists  of  the  Russian  Expedition 
under  Capt.  Kotzebue,  partly  made  known  by  Chamisso  and  Schlechtendal  in  the  different  volumes  of  the 
Linnsea,  and  of  Mi\  Macrae,  Dr.  GiUies,  and  Mr.  Cruckshanks,  some  of  whose  collections  have  been 
described  in  the  Botanical  Magazine  and  Register,  and  in  the  Botanical  Miscellany,  it  is  not  to  be  expected 
that  this  portion  of  Capt.  Beechey’s  Herbarium  should  be  of  a very  novel  nature,  particularly  as  the 
Naturalists  had  but  little  opportunity  of  visiting  the  interior  of  the  country.

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

acuminatis  punctulatis.  (Tab.  II.) — R.  humilis.  Collie,  MSS.  (non  Pers.) 

Planla  inter  parva  hujusce  generis : tota  glaberrima.  Radix  fibrosa,  annua.  Caulis  2-3  uncias  longus, 
erectiusculus,  debilis,  simplex,  vel  ad  basin  divisus.  Folia  omnia,  radicalia  prsecipue,  longe  petiolata ; in- 
feriora  exacte  ovalia  seu  elliptica,  Integra,  superiora  fere  obovata  vel  subcuneiformia,  apice  tridentata,  basi 
in  petiolum  decurrentia,  subparallelim  atque  obscure  nervosa.  Petiohis  gracilis,  basi  in  vaginam  membran- 
aceam  dilatatus.  Pedunculus  solitarius,  uniflorus,  oppositifolius.  Flos  parvus.  Sepala  suborbiculata,  cito 
reflexa.  Petala  ovata,  pallide  flava,  calyce  paululum  longiora.  Stamina  pauca.  Carpella  8-10,  in  capitu- 
lum laxum,  ratione  floris  majuscula,  globosa,  subnitida,  impresso-punctata,  glaberrima,  stylo  perbrevi  recti- 
usculo terminata. 

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

Caules  1-2-pedales,  procumbentes,  teretes,  pilis  patentibus  flavescentibus  hispidi,  ramosi.  Folia 
petiolata,  majuscula,  rotundato-cordata,  pilosa,  profunde  trilobata,  lobis  subrotundo-cuneatis,  lateralibus  nunc 
bifidis,  omnibus  profunde  grosse  et  inscqualiter  dentato-serratis,  atro-viridia,  subtus  pallidiora:  superiora

nisi  ad  summitatem  caulis,  graciles,  patenti-pilosi,  basi  membranaceo-vaginati,  dilatati.  Pedunculi  axillares, 
solitarii,  petioli  longitudine,  uniflori.  Flos  mediocris,  Sepala  patentia,  elliptica,  concava,  extus  pilis 
appressis  hirsutissima.  Petala  8-10,  calyce  longiora,  flava,  anguste  elliptica,  concava,  lineata,  breve  ungui- 
culata.  Stamina  plurima.  Capitulum  fructus  globosuin.  Carpella  sub-20,  orbiculari-compressa,  Isevia, 
marginata,  stylo  mediocri  paululum  recurvato  terminata. 

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

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

Frutex  valde  ramosa;  ramis  brevibus,  tuberculosis.  Folia  fasciculata,  parva,  6-8  lineas  longa,  coriacea, 
rigidissima,  cuneata,  basi  attenuata,  venosa,  cartilagineo-marginata,  grosse  3-5-dentato-spinosa.  Racemi 
axillares,  vix  foliis  longiores,  pendentes,  bracteati;  bracteis  subulato-lanceolatis,  membranaceis,  pedicello 
longioribus.  Flores  flavi,  parvi.  Sepala  minuta,  decidua.  Petala  siccitate  fusco-lineata. 

Hab.  Coquimbo. — This  appears  to  be  entirely  an  undescribed  species,  most  nearly  allied  perhaps  to 
the  B.  7-uscifolia  of  Lam.  Rl.  t.  253,  a native  of  Buenos  Ayres : but  that  is  a much  larger  plant,  with 
fewer  flowers  on  the  racemes,  and  differently  shaped  leaves.

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

Caules  erecti,  flexuosi,  glabriusculi,  striati,  subpedales.  Folia  omnia  pinnata,  glabra  vel,  sub  lente,  pilis 
minutis  hirsuta ; foliolis  omnibus  anguste  linearibus,  acutis,  integerrimis,  foliorum  superiorum  angustissimis. 
Flores  corymbosi,  majusculi.  Pedicelli  graciles.  Sepala  oblonga,  erecta,  glaberrima.  Petala  alba,  oblongo- 
obovata,  in  unguem  attenuata,  sepalis  duplo  longiora.  Siliquce,  vix  maturae,  unciam  longse,  erectae,  graciles, 
basi  in  stipitem  brevem,  apice  in  stylum  vel  rostrum  semiunciam  longum,  tenuissimum  attenuatae.  Stigma 
parvum,  capitatum. 

Hab.  Conception. — In  habit  this  plant  is  certainly  allied  to  C.  pratensis,  and  especially  to  that  var. 
with  narrow  leaflets  which  is  described  in  the  Flora  Boreali- Americana,  under  the  var.  angustifolia : but 
its  leaflets,  and  in  particular  those  of  the  root-leaves,  are  still  narrower,  the  flowers  are  smaller,  and,  in 
the  extremely  attenuated  beak  to  the  pods,  it  differs  from  all  the  species  we  are  acquainted  with.

branched,  especially  from  the  base.  In  both  we  find  all  the  essential  characters  of  the  L.  hipinnatifidum 
of  Desvaux,  who  justly  observes  that  it  is  nearly  allied  to  L.  bonariense.

Systema  Vegetabilium,  and  De  Lessert,  who  has  otherwise  given  so  excellent  a figime  of  it  in  his  leones

examined,  we  find  that  they  are  constantly  incumbent  (|lo),  hence  we  have  removed  the  genus  to  the 
“ Notorhizeae  angustiseptae.”

any  remarks  on  the  natural  order  in  which  it  should  be  placed.  Ventenat  thought  it  ought  to  rank  with

Had.  Coquimbo. — Of  the  six  species  of  Krameria  described  by  De  Candolle,  and  the  three  by  St. 
Hilaire,  not  one  can  be  said  accurately  to  correspond  with  the  present ; which  is,  moreover,  a native  of 
Chili ; whereas  all  the  others  are  inhabitants  of  Cumana  and  St.  Domingo,  of  Mexico,  of  Peru,  or  Brazil. 
Assuredly,  in  general  habit,  our  K.  cistoidea  comes  near  to  the  Peruvian  K.  triandra;  but  that  has  vastly 
larger  flowers,  according  to  the  figure  {FI.  Per.  t.  93),  and  only  4 sepals,  3 stamens,  and  4 petals : whilst 
in  our  plant,  (and  we  have  examined  specimens  gathered  also  at  Coquimbo  by  Mr.  Cruckshanks  and  Mr. 
Macrae,)  there  are  constantly  5 sepals,  4 stamens,  and  5 petals ; on  which  account,  and  taking  the  different 
countries  they  respectively  inhabit,  we  have  thought  it  safer  to  distinguish  the  Chilian  plant  specifically 
from  that  of  Peru.  In  the  number  of  the  parts  of  the  flower,  our  species  agrees  with  the  K.  grandiflora 
and  K.  niscifolia  of  St.  Hilaire,  both  of  which,  from  Brazil,  have  also  5 sepals  and  petals,  and  4 stamina ; but 
in  these  the  stems  are  simple,  or  nearly  so,  and  the  flowers  almost  spicate,  having  very  short  pedicels,’  while 
in  ours  the  stem  is  much  branched,  and  the  flowers  distinctly  racemose.  K.  cytisoides  has  also  the  same 
number  of  parts,  but  the  central  of  the  upper  petals  appears  to  be  longer  than  the  two  others,  and  nearly 
filiform,  and  the  leaves  are  ternate.  K.  tomentosa,  St.  HU.,  has  4 sepals  and  stamina,  and  5 petals.  In  K. 
Ixina  and  K.  glabra,  Spr.,  4 sepals,  petals,  and  stamens  have  been  observed,  a peculiarity  caused  by  the  dis- 
appearance of  the  upper  unguiculate  petal.  K.  linearis.  Pair,  and  D C.,  {K.  pentapetala,  R.  P.)  has  5 sepals, 
4 stamina,  and  3 petals,  of  which  the  upper  solitary  unguiculate  one  is  3-lobed,  indicating  its  triple  origin. 
In  K.  triandra,  as  we  have  already  observed,  there  are  only  3 stamens ; but  it  is  probable  that  the  upper  one 
is  double,  or  formed  by  the  union  of  two,  or  that  the  anther  contains  four  cells.  Of  K.  pauciflora  and 
semndiflora,  from  Mexico,  nothing  is  known  of  the  structure  of  the  flower.  But  if  we  are  at  a loss  to 
determine  satisfactorily  the  species  of  this  plant,  our  difficulty  is  greater  in  ascertaining  the  order  in  which 
it  should  be  placed.  Jussieu,  in  the  1st  vol.  of  the  Memoires  du  Mus.  p.  390,  has  arranged  it  with  the 


Polygalea.] 


CHILL 


9 


genera  allied  to  Polygalea ; but  he  observes  that  it  recedes  from  them  “ in  the  number  and  structure  of 
the  parts  of  the  flower,  and  in  the  absence  of  a perisperm.”  Mr.  Brown,  too,  as  also  St.  Hilaire,  refers  it 
to  Polygalea.  The  flowers  present  peculiarities  in  their  structure  very  unlike  any  thing  we  have  seen 
in  other  plants.  There  are  three  bracteas,  one  on  the  stem  at  the  insertion  of  the  pedicel,  the  other  two 
opposite,  on  the  pedicel  itself,  and  decussating  with  the  lower  bractea.  The  sepals  are  in  a triple  series ; the 
lower,  or  that  which  is  in  the  same  line  with  the  lower  bractea,  together  with  a similar  superior  one,  are  larger 
than  the  others,  and  exteiior ; the  two  intermediate  ones  are  rather  smaller  and  alternate  with  the  exterior 
pair ; the  interior  is  still  smaller,  and  is  situated  between  the  upper  exterior  and  one  of  the  intermediate 
ones,  usually  that  on  the  right,  but,  in  some  blossoms,  that  on  the  left,  as  seems  to  be  represented  and 
described  by  St.  Hilaire,  under  K.  grandlfiora.  Petals  5;  3 similar  in  shape  to  each  other,  of  which  the 
lateral  ones  are  opposite  to  the  upper  exterior  and  to  the  interior  small  sepal,  while  the  central  one  is  inter- 
mediate between  these ; 2 fleshy  petals  are  placed  opposite  the  two  intermediate  sepals.  Stamens  4 and 
declinate,  of  which  the  two  lower  are  longer  and  more  bent,  and  alternate  with  the  upper  petals,  and  with 
these  and  the  cai'nose  ones.  The  ovarium  has  the  placenta  on  the  side  next  the  central  upper  petal ; and  the 
style,  bending  first  downwards  towards  the  lower  exterior  sepal,  afterwards  rises  towards  the  central  petal. 
Such  is  the  structure  that  presents  itself  to  us  in  this  species,  the  only  one  we  have  had  a sufficient  oppor- 
tunity of  examining.  It  must  be  remarked,  however,  that  this  view  of  its  structure  is  completely  at  variance 
with  the  analysis  of  K.  grandijlora,  given  by  St.  Hilaire,  (Me'moires  du  Mus.  v.  17.  t.  31,  and  FI.  Brasil. 
Merid.  v.  2.  p.  73,)  for,  by  that  able  author,  the  insertion  of  the  ovules  or  the  line  of  the  placenta  is  “ a petalis 
inferioribus  aversum”  while  he  declares  the  lower  petals  to  be  the  three  uniform  ones.  If,  then,  St.  Hilaire 
were  correct,  there  could  be  little  doubt  of  the  genus  Krameria  belonging  to  Polygalea,  each  anther  and 
stamen  with  a double  cell  and  double  terminal  pore  being  viewed  as  composed  of  two  stamens,  and  two 
anthers,  each  with  a single  cell  and  pore,  or  tending  to  show  that  in  Polygalea  each  pair  of  stamens  forms 
but  one;  but  our  species  presents  the  very  different  arrangement  we  have  described,  and  from  it  we  may 
state  that,  whether  we  take  as  our  guide  the  subtending  bractea,  or  the  ascending  style,  which  Brown  finds 
to'be  anterior  in  every  plant,  or  the  placenta  situated  on  the  upper  interior  side  of  the  ovarium,  we  consider 
the  three  similar  petals  to  be  superior,  and,  consequently,  that  an  inversion  of  the  common  arrangement  in 
plants,  and  in  the  Polygalea,  takes  place  here.  The  relative  position  of  the  sepals  and  petals  to  the  axis  of 
the  spike  or  bractea,  is  thus  scarcely  different  from  what  exists  in  the  Leguminosa,  where  Sir  J.  E.  Smith 
seems  disposed  to  fix  this  genus.  But  neither  is  it  altogether  the  same  as  in  that  order,  for,  looking  at  the 
sepals  by  themselves,  the  odd  one,  or  that  which  has  least  relation  to  the  others,  is  undoubtedly  the  small 
interior  one : but  with  regard  to  the  bractea,  and  a symmetrical  disposition  of  the  petals,  stamina,  and  style, 
the  inferior  must  be  termed  the  odd  one,  the  two  intermediate  ones  forming  one  opposite  pair,  while  the 
upper  exterior,  and  the  small  interior,  although  placed  in  a very  different  series,  must  thus  constitute  the 
next  pair.  Viewing  the  analysis  in  what  way  we  will,  we  are  beset  with  difficulties,  which  are  increased 
by  observing  that  the  two  fleshy  petals  do  not  alternate  with  any  of  the  sepals,  but  are  opposite  to  the  two 
that  are  intermediate,  which  would  almost  incline  us  to  believe,  with  Kunth,  that  these  are  abortive  stamina, 
and  not  petals.  If  Krameria  belong  to  Polygalea,  the  arrangement  and  nature  of  the  organs  in  that  order 
are  still  involved  in  doubt ; and  if  it  be  one  of  the  Leguminosa,  its  nearest  affinity  is  with  the  genus  Cassia, 
from  which,  however,  it  differs  in  very  many  important  points.  Perhaps  some  allied  genus  may  yet  be  dis- 
covered, and  a new  groupe  formed,  exhibiting  an  additional  intermediate  link  between  these  orders.  We 
have  not  seen  the  ripe  fruit,  but  St.  Hilaire  describes  the  cotyledons  as  auricled  at  the  base,  the  auricles 
surrounding  the  radicle,  which  perhaps  led  De  Candolle  and  others  to  believe  in  the  presence  of  a fleshy 
albumen : that,  however,  is  no  objection  to  its  forming  part  of  Polygalea ; for  in  some  genera  truly  belonging 
to  this  order,  as  Monnina  and  Securidaea,  the  albumen  bas  a tendency  also  to  disappear.  We  may  add,  that 
in  our  idea  of  the  position  of  the  parts  of  the  flower,  we  are  borne  out  by  Ruiz  and  Pavon,  Jussieu  and 
Kunth.  The  whole  aiTangement  will  be  best  understood  by  the  following  reference  to  the  figures  in

Hab.  Near  Conception. — This  appears  to  agree  nearly  as  well  with  the  M.  prostrata  of  Cavanilles  as 
with  the  eriocarpa  of  De  Candolle ; only  that  the  foi’mer  is  described  as  having  its  fruit  glabrous,  whereas 
our  plant  has  the  frait  somewhat  hairy.  The  peduncles  are  solitary,  not  geminate  as  in  De  Candolle’s  plant, 
so  that  we  cannot  but  be  doubtful  as  to  the  correctness  of  our  name  and  synonyms.

can  we  satisfy  ourselves  as  to  the  division  in  which  it  ought  to  be  placed,  since  we  have  no  perfect  fruit.

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

Hab.  Conception. — It  is  well  observed  of  this  curious  little  plant,  by  its  original  describer,  Desvaux, 
that  it  should  form  a distinct  section  in  this  genus.  Its  nearest  affinity  is  with  the  section  “ Vesicastruni” 
of  De  Candolle’s  Prodromus;  but  there  it  is  the  upper  lip  of  the  cal)rx  which  becomes  inflated,  here 
the  standard  of  the  corolla.  The  flowers  are  sessile  within  the  minute  truncated  involucre.

Hab.  Conception. — Whether  or  not  this  plant  should  continue  in  the  genus  Lotus  is  a matter  of  doubt. 
Its  nearest  affinity  is  with  Lotus  tetraphyllus  of  Linn,  fib,  having,  like  it,  more  leaflets  than  the  three  ter- 
minal ones  usual  in  the  genus ; in  L.  tetraphyllus,  there  is  one  additional ; in  our  plant  two,  and  these  two 
are  constantly  unilateral.  The  former,  however,  has  a capitate  stigma;  ours  an  obtuse  one:  in  these 
respects  also  departing  from  the  true  Loti,  in  which,  as  now  circumscribed,  the  stigma  is  subulate.  From

Hosackia,  Benth.,  to  which  it  approaches  by  the  tendency  to  a pinnate  leaf,  it  differs  by  the  appressed  alse,  the 
entire  absence  of  stipules,  and  the  solitary  flowers.  De  Candolle  seems  to  have  observed  monadelphous 
stamens  in  his  specimens,  hence  he  has  been  led  to  refer  this  plant  to  the  genus  Anthyllis ; but  we  find 
the  stamens  to  be  truly  diadelphous.

Hab.  Conception. — This  plant,  according  to  Feuillee,  is  employed  by  the  natives  as  a vulnerary  and 
purgative,  and  its  dried  leaves  are  often  used  instead  of  tea.

Radix  perennis,  descendens.  Caules  plurimi,  procumbentes,  diffusi,  inferne  fruticosi,  bipedales  et  ultra, 
teretes,  molliter  tomentosi,  valde  ramosi.  Folia  digitalia,  pinnata  cum  impari : foliolis  tomentoso-hirsutis, 
breviter  petiolulatis,  ellipticis,  retusis,  1 1-14-jugis.  Stipulos  a petiolo  liberse,  ovatse,  membranacese,  inter  se 
hinc  coalifee.  Pedunculi  axillares,  folio  duplo  longioi’es,  hirsuti,  apice  racemum  brevem  gerentes.  Flores 
sparsi,  pallide  purpurei.  Calyx  tubulosus,  5-dentatus,  dentibus  setaceis.  ‘ Carina  obtusa,  apice  intense  pur- 
purea. AIcb  carina  duplo  breviores. 

Hab.  Conception. — This  belongs  to  De  Candolle’s  tribe,  Hypoglottidei,  and  is  nearly  allied  to  the  A. 
Garvancillo  of  Cavanilles ; nor  is  it  far  removed  from  A.  unijultus  of  De  Candolle.  But  those  plants, 
besides  their  differential  characters,  are  natives  of  Peru.

purpurascentibus,  calyce  nigro-pubescente. 

Hab.  Conception. — This  belongs  to  the  section  of  Astragalus,  “ Dissitijiori,”  DC.;  but  on  account 
of  the  absence  of  'fruit,  and  the  paucity  of  specimens,  we  cannot  give  a satisfactory  description.  The 
floAvers  are  in  rather  long,  spiked  racemes,  and  somewhat  drooping.

Hab.  Conception. — With  the  fruit  of  this  we  are  unacquainted,  but  if,  as  we  believe,  the  plant  is  the  same 
as  De  Candolle’s  A.  papposa,  it  is  covered  with  soft  feathery  setse.  The  species  differs,  however,  from  that 
author’s  character  and  description,  in  which  the  leaves  are  said  to  be  ovali-lauceolate,  and  the  flowers  in  a com- 
pact raceme.  The  whole  plant  is  free  from  glands,  in  which  respect  it  is  at  variance  with  what  we  conceive  to 
be  A.  longiseta  of  De  Candolle,  the  only  other  known  herbaceous  species  of  the  section,  and  of  which  we  have 
received  beautiful  specimens  from  Mr.  Cruckshanks  and  Mr.  Bridges.  In  both  the  alse  are  wrinkled  trans- 
versely at  the  back,  their  claws  are  united  with  the  base  of  the  claw  of  the  vexillum  for  nearly  their  whole

length,  and  two  of  the  stamens  are  equally  united,  one  on  each  side  the  vexillum,  with  these  combined 
claws.  The  other  eight  stamens  are  free.  The  germen  is  linear,  glabrous  ,•  the  style  filiform  and  much  curved. 
In  our  A.  papposa,  the  base  of  the  limb  of  the  vexillum  has  a tuft  of  hairs,  and  the  upper  teeth  of  the 
calyx  are  remarkably  short. 

2.  A.  micTophyllai  caule  fruticoso  ramosissimo,  ramulis  striatis  pubescentibus  divari-

articulis  semiorbiculatis,  setis  longissimis,  flexuosis,  plumosis,  basi  nudis,  rigidiuscuiis  dense  tectis. 

Hab.  Valparaiso. — This  and  the  following  species  belong  to  a groupe  of  Adesmim  hitherto  undescribed, 
having  fruticose,  spinescent  stems,  and  small  rigid  and  somewhat  fleshy  leaves,  a plumoso-setose  fruit,  and 
free  stamens  and  petals  | of  which  several  have  been  collected  in  Chili  and  Mendoza  by  Dr.  Gillies  and 
Mr.  Cruckshanks.  The  present  species  was  first  detected  by  Mr.  Menzies,  whose  specimens  we  possess.  It 
has  also  been  gathered  by  Mr.  Macrae.

cibus spinescentibus  bracteisque  linearibus  glanduloso-hirsutis,  leguminibus  triarticulatis 
longissime  setoso-plumosis. 

Hab.  Coquimbo. — This  differs  from  the  preceding  in  its  larger  leaflets,  longer  racemes,  narrower 
bractese,  longer  pedicels,  and  in  the  viscid  glands  and  patent  hairs  which  clothe  all  the  younger  parts  of  the 
plant  except  the  corolla. — The  genus  Adesmia  has  been  divided  by  De  Candolle  into  two  sections ; the  one 
Patagonium,  characterised  by  the  pods  of  from  4 to  8 joints,  and  either  scabrous  or  puberulous : the  other, 
Chmtotricha,  having  a pod  of  2 joints,  wrinkled,  and  bearing  plumose  setse.  He  even  thinks  the  latter 
ought  to  form  a distinct  genus.  We,  however,  possess  some  that  cannot  be  referred  to  either  section,  but  are 
intermediate ; nor  do  we  think  the  arrangement  otherwise  a natural  one : we  prefer,  therefore,  the  subjoined 
division,  and  will  notice  some  other  species  not  in  the  collection,  but  which  we  have  received  from  Chili.*

Hab.  Conception. — This  seems  to  be  a long  straggling  plant,  which  always  turns  black  in  drying,  like 
Orobus  niger.  The  leaflets  are  rather  more  than  an  inch  long ; the  flowers  almost  capitate.

Hab.  Conception. — This  species  is  closely  allied  in  habit  to  Ervum  tetraspermum,  and  has  an  equally 
small  flower  : but  the  shape  of  the  legumen  is  very  different,  and  the  stigma  is  that  of  a Vida.

Hab.  Conception. — In  some  respects  this  approaches  Vida  Michauxii,  Spr.,  but  there  is  no  species 
with  which  it  quite  coincides  in  character.  The  flowers  are  not  half  the  size  of  those  of  Vida  saliva,  with

beauty,  yields  a balsam  of  a higlily  agreeable  odour,  which  is  perceptible  at  a great  distance,  and  is  found  to  be  of 
much  efficacy  in  healing  wounds.

exists  in  the  collection.  It  is,  however,  the  same  with  an  Acacia  we  have  received  from  Valparaiso,  gathered 
by  Mr.  Bridges,  of  which  he  observes  that  the  blossom  is  called  “ Flor  de  Aroma,  and  the  tree  Espino  by  the 
inhabitants,  that  it  is  used  for  various  purposes,  especially  for  yielding  the  best  charcoal,  that  the  fragrance 
of  the  flowers  is  very  great,  being  perceptible  at  a considerable  distance,  and  that  immense  tracts  of  land 
near  Talca  are  completely  covered  with  the  tree.”  Again,  Dr.  Gillies  has  the  same  plant  from  a garden  at 
Buenos  Ayres,  and  remarks  that  “ it  is  identical,  to  all  appearance,  with  the  Espino  of  Chili,  which  is 
upwards  of  twenty  feet  in  height.”  Thus,  it  would  seem  to  be  an  important  and  well-known  plant  in 
Chili ; yet  we  do  not  find  it  any  where  noticed,  except  by  Molina,  who  calls  it  Mimosa  Cavenia.  Its 
nearest  affinity  is  with  the  A.  revoluta  of  Kunth,  (Mimos.  t.  26,)  but  there  the  spines  are  larger  and 
stouter,  the  pinnse  of  only  3 pairs,  and  the  flowers  decandrous.  It  is  also  closely  allied  to  A.  eburnea, 
Linn.  Unfortunately  we  have  no  fruit  on  any  of  our  specimens.  There  is  a small  sessile  gland  beneath  the 
lower  pair  of  leaflets,  which  is,  however,  very  obscure  in  Mr.  Bridges’  specimens.  The  flowers  are  yellow. 
It  is  now  cultivated  in  the  Glasgow  Botanic  Garden,  from  seeds  sent  by  Mr.  Cruckshanks,  but  has  not 
yet  blossomed.

from  Conception  and  Valparaiso,  and  several  new  ones  exist  in  our  collection  from  the  same  country,  this,

received  from  Dr.  Fischer  of  St.  Petersburgh,  which  De  Candolle  has  referred  as  a variety  to  C.  compressa, 
Schrad.,  proves  to  be  identical  with  C.  pilosiuscula.  Perhaps  even  C.  compressa  is  a mere  variety,  with 
fewer  stamens.

Hab.  Valparaiso. — Very  closely  allied  to  the  last  species,  from  which  it  principally  differs  by  its  small 
size  and  its  quite  glabrous,  not  ciliated,  leaves,  which,  moreover,  have  no  tendency  to  become  spathulate.

Hab.  Conception. — This  plant  bears  a strong  resemblance  to  C.  littoralis,  having  a bractea  at  the  base 
of  the  lateral  racemes ; but  in  the  latter  the  leaves  are  oblong  or  spathulate,  of  the  same  shape  with  the

Hab.  Conception. — This  appears  to  be  only  known  to  previous  authors  in  a young  state,  its  fruit  being 
always  described  as  crowned  with  minute  teeth,  which,  eventually,  as  in  the  other  species,  change  into  a 
feathery  pappus.  The  V.  hyalinorhiza,  Humb.  and  Kunth,  v.  3.  p.  331,  “ acheniis  glabris,  foliis  glabrius-

Hab.  Conception. — This  approaches  most  in  habit  to  Valeriana  paniculata  of  the  Flora  Peruviana,  but 
that  is  pubescent,  and  has  a pappose  fruit.  The  acheniura  of  our  plant  has,  in  addition  to  the  three  strong- 
dorsal  ribs,  a lateral  one  on  each  side,  though  not  so  elevated  as  the  others.

Had.  Valparaiso.~In  our  plant  the  root  is  annual,  and  from  the  crown  of  it  issue  several  short,  usually 
one-flowered  stems.  The  leaves  are  narrowly  spathulate,  obtuse,  and  very  sharply  toothed.  The  figure  given 
by  De  Candolle  bears  hardly  any  resemblance  to  oiw  specimens,  and  we  should  not  have  had  the  least  idea  of 
its  being  the  same,  did  we  not  possess  a specimen  from  Chamisso,  which  is  consequently  the  same  as  that 
described  by  Lessing  in  the  Linniea,  named  as  above,  and  identical  with  our  own.  Mr.  Cruckshanks,  Mr .

Hab.  Coquimbo. — The  only  specimen  we  have  ever  seen  is  too  imperfect  for  us  even  to  ascertain  the 
genus  with  any  certainty.  The  habit  is  very  remarkable.  The  plant  shrubby,  with  glossy,  yet  slightly  tomentose 
branches ; leaves  numerous,  about  three-fourtbs  of  an  inch  long,  shining,  with  an  obscure  nerve  at  the  back, 
grooved  within,  very  rigid,  and  tipped  with  a yellow  pungent  point,  bearing  always  in  their  axils  a cluster 
of  young  leaves,  which  are  slightly  downy.  The  receptacle  is  dotted  and  naked,  and  the  general  aspect  of 
the  flower  not  unlike  that  of  Carlina  vulgaris.

Hab.  Conception. — The  florets  in  our  specimen  are  unexpanded,  but  there  is  so  excellent  a character 
in  the  beautiful  close  denticulation  of  the  foliage,  that  we  are  unwilling  to  pass  it  over  in  silence.  The 
leaves  are  about  three  inches  long,  slightly  woolly  on  both  sides,  paler  beneath,  where  they  are  finely  reticu- 
lated, becoming  gradually  smaller  upwards,  and  passing  into  linear  bracteas  among  the  upper  flowers  of  the

but  we  are  now  disposed  to  unite  the  whole  of  the  above  synonyms.  Mr.  Cruckshanks  finds  it  abundantly 
at  Valparaiso ; and  at  Quintero,  about  ten  leagues  farther  northward,  it  was  observed  by  Mrs.  Graham,  cover- 
ing whole  tracts  of  country.  Mr.  Cruckshanks  mentions  that  he  never  understood  that  it  was  applied  to

Hab.  Conception. — We  possess  the  same,  gathered  at  Valparaiso  by  Mr.  Bridges,  who  says  that  all  the 
species  are  called  Romero.  It  may  be  B.  linearis,  Pers.,  but  we  do  not  observe  any  of  the  leaves  to  be 
toothed.  Perhaps  Persoon’s  character  may  be  drawn  up  from  more  than  one  species  of  this  difficult  genus.

Hab.  Coquimbo. — The  nearest  species  is  B.  uniflora,  Pers.,  which  is  described  as  having  lanceolate  leaves. 
Perhaps  it  is  the  B.  banksimfolia  of  Bertero  in  the  Bulletin  des  Sciences  Nat.  1830,  p.  108,  but  no  descrip-

Hab.  Conception. — The  leaves,  though  somewhat  resembling  in  shape  those  of  the  preceding  species, 
differ  widely  in  their  texture : the  arrangement  of  the  flowers  is  also  very  dissimilar.

Hab.  Conception. — This,  as  far  as  we  can  judge  from  the  specimens,  appears  to  be  a true  Baccliaris. 
The  pappus  is  tawny : leaves  scarcely  an  inch  long,  broadly  cuneate,  truncated  at  the  top,  presenting  a 
few  angles  in  the  upper  half,  and  remarkably  coriaceous.  Kunth  says  that  Lamai’ck’s  B.  cuneifolia  is  nearly

Hab.  Conception. — This  appears  liable  to  considerable  variation,  the  upper  surface  of  the  leaves  being 
sometimes  almost  naked,  and  in  other  specimens  densely  velvety.  It  is  about  a foot  and  a half  high.  It  is 
probably  the  Elichrysum,  &c.  of  Feuill.  Chil.  v.  3,  t.  13,  which  figure  resembles  much  our  plant  in  the  leafy 
branches  of  the  corymb.  We  possess  another  very  curious  new  species,  sent  from  Valparaiso  by  Mr.

Hab.  Conception. — Two  small  specimens  of  this,  scarcely  more  than  an  inch  high,  each  with  a single 
small,  terminal  and  pedunculated  flower,  will  not  enable  us  to  satisfy  ourselves  whether  the  species  be  dis- 
tinct or  not  from  the  Europtean  E.  filiforme.  It  is  probably  the  E.  chilense  of  Bertero  in  Bull,  des  Sc. 
Nat.  1830,  p.  Ill,  but  of  which  no  description  is  given. — Belonging  to  the  Gentianem  is  the  “ Cachen-La- 
guen  ” of  Chili,  the  Chironia  chilensis,  Willd.  ( Cachen,  Feuill.  Chil.  v.  2.  t.  35),  but  which  is  a true  Erytliraa. 
The  calyx,  corolla,  and  stamens,  in  our  specimens  from  Mr.  Menzies,  and  from  Gouan’s  herbarium,  follow  the 
quinary  arrangement.  The  nearest  to  it,  as  Kunth  remarks,  is  his  E.  quitensis,  only  differing  by  the  parts 
being  in  fours;  but  we  do  not  consider  that  a distinct  species.  Though  it  be  much  used  medicinally  in  Peru, 
Humboldt  never  saw  it  wild  there ; but  it  was  cultivated  in  the  plains  of  ChiUo,  the  inhabitants  of  which  may 
have  originally  brought  it  M'ith  them  from  Chili,  where  it  is  undoubtedly  a native.  The  circumstance  of  only 
four  stamens,  instead  of  five,  being  observed  in  the  Peruvian  specimens,  is  not,  we  conceive,  sufficiently 
constant  for  a specific  definition : we  cannot,  therefore,  agree  with  Sprengel,  who  has,  on  that  account,  placed 
it  in  Exacum,  without  attending  to  other  more  important  characters.  The  Peruvian  name,  too,  is  a cor- 
ruption of  the  Chilian  one,  which  ought  to  be  written  as  above,  the  word  “ Laguen  ” meaning  merely  a 
plant ; while  the  particular  name  of  the  present  one,  in  the  Indian  language,  is  “ Cachen^'

described  in  any  systematic  work  to  which  we  have  access.  That  it  is  a Cordia,  there  can  be  scarcely 
a question ; since  it  agrees  in  every  essential  particular  with  the  characters  of  that  genus,  differing  only  iu 
the  duplication  of  the  parts  of  the  flower.  Mr.  Cruckshanks  informs  us  that  the  wood,  which  is  very  com- 
pact, is  extensively  employed  in  the  production  of  charcoal,  (whence  the  vernacular  name,  Carbon,)  and  like- 
wise for  fuel  in  smelting  copper  (as  the  dead  and  withered  stems  of  the  Cactus  are  for  refining  metal)  in  the 
mining  districts  of  Coquimbo : so  that  in  many  places  the  country  is  almost  cleared  of  these  plants.  '‘‘Carbon 
grows  in  the  district  of  Guasco,  Coquimbo,  and  Cuzcuz.  It  is  short  and  thick,  and  used  for  small  articles  of 
turnery ; but  it  is  incomparable  for  firewood.  Two  logs,  that  might  not  each  be  more  than  a yard  long  and 
one-third  thick,  suffice  to  keep  a stew  boiling,  night  and  day,  besides  other  kettles,  enough  for  eight  or

integrifolia,  although  cultivation  for  some  years  in  our  garden  proves  it  to  be  a permanent  variety.  In 
the  Botanical  Magazine,  the  same  plant  has  since  been  called  C.  rugosa ; but  it  is  neither  C.  rugosa, 
Ruiz  and  Pav.  v.  1.  t.  286,  nor  of  Hooker’s  Exotic  Flora,  t.  99.  It  has  been  also  named  C.  salvicefolia 
by  Schlechtendal  and  Chamisso  in  the  Linnsea,  v.  2.  p.  565,  who  have  been  apparently  led  into  this 
error  by  following  CavaniUes,  (Ic.  v.  5.  p.  31,)  and  by  not  having  seen  the  figure  of  C.  rugosa  in  the 
Flora  Peruviana.  In  the  herbarium,  these  species  are  very  difficult  of  determination,  the  important 
differences  existing  in  the  upper  lip  of  their  corolla.  In  Feuillee’s  plant,  and,  consequently,  in  Linnaeus’  C. 
integrifolia,  Sp.  PI.  ed.  13,  (not  14,  nor  of  Smith’s  Ic.  in  ed.  1.  t.  3,  which  is  C.  ovata,  Roem.  et  Sch.)  the 
upper  lip,  though  not  half  so  large  as  the  lower,  is  similar  to  it  in  shape,  and  closes  up  its  mouth.  In  C. 
rugosa,  FI.  Per.  and  Hook.  Ex.  FI.  (the  C.  scabioscefolia  of  Ne'e  in  Cav.  Ic.  1.  c.)  the  upper  lip  is  so 
extremely  minute  as  to  be  at  first  scarcely  discernible,  and  it  is  of  a totally  different  shape  from  the  lower.

Candolle  has  long  ago  showed  to  he  a distinct  plant,  called  by  him  M.  guttatus.  Linnaeus  established  the 
species  upon  the  figure  given  by  Feuille'e,  without  having  seen  a specimen,  and  it  is  only  within  these  few 
years,  by  the  exertions  of  Mr.  Macrae  and  Dr.  Gillies,  that  the  plant  has  become  w'ell  known.  In  beauty

high.  Bertero  speaks  of  it  as  very  common  upon  stony  hills,  and  as  being  allied  to  A.  fasciculata.  We 
possess,  however,  other  specimens  from  Conception,  gathered  by  Mr.  Cruckshanks  and  Mr.  Macrae,  which

Boldus  chilensis  of  Molina,  (Saggio  Sulla  Storia,  Nat.  del  Chil.  ed.  2.  p.  153,)  and  of  Roemer  and  Schultes, 
Syst.  V.  7.  p.  57 ; but  from  what  we  have  received  from  Mr.  Cruckshanks,  this  is  certainly  not  the  true 
Boldu,  a name  confined  to  one  plant,  and  not,  as  Molina  says,  given  to  several.  The  plant  of  Feuille'e  is  still 
involved  in  considerable  doubt,  inasmuch  as  it  is  very  uncertain  if  Molina  ever  saw  it,  he  having  in 
many  cases  contented  himself  with  giving  fanciful  names  to  Feuillee’s  indifferent  descriptions.  It  is  cer- 
tainly, however,  the  Peumus  Boldus  of  Molina’s  History  of  Chili ; and  if  actually  an  existing  plant,  may 
be  arranged  with  his  other  kinds  of  Peumo,  or  Chilian  species  of  Lauras ; but  the  extreme  resemblance  of 
the  leaf  to  that  of  the  real  Boldu,  leads  us  to  suspect  that  the  plant  of  Feuille'e,  having  opposite  leaves,  may 
be  compounded  of  the  stem  and  leaves  of  the  true  Boldu,  while  the  flowers  may  belong  to  something  very 
different.  One  species  of  the  Peumo  is  now  before  us,  from  Mr.  Macrae,  agreeing  tolerably  with  the  Peu- 
mus rubra  of  Molina,  and  constituting  probably  the  Lauras  Peumus  of  Lamarck:  the  leaves  are  oblono- 
obtuse,  alternate  on  a very  short  petiole,  one-nerved,  the  margin  cartiLaginous,  or  as  if  formed  of  a nerve, 
very  entire,  but  undulate,  at  least  in  the  dry  state : the  flowers  (only  in  bud)  are  in  a terminal  raceme.  The 
Boldu  was  first  described  in  the  Flora  Peruviana,  (Genera,  p.  135.  t.  29,)  by  the  name  of  Ruizia  Boldu,  but 
there  being  already  the  Ruizia  of  Cavauilles,  it  was  necessary  to  adopt  some  other  appellation.  Richard,  in 
Persoon’s  Synopsis,  supposing  it,  as  many  others  have  done,  to  be  the  Peumus  Boldus  of  Molina,  took  up  that 
name,  but  with  the  character  given  by  Ruiz  and  Pavon ; and,  soon  afterwards,  Jussieu  gave  it  that  of 
Boldoa.  We  prefer  that  of  Jussieu,  as  the  appellation  “Boldu”  is  peculiar  to  our  plant.  We  are  aware 
that  there  is  a Boldea  of  CavaniUes,  but  that  is  the  same  with  Salpianthus  of  Humb.  and  Bonpl.  We  have 
received  specimens  from  Mr.  Cruckshanks,  Mr.  Macrae,  and  Mr.  Bridges,  from  the  neighbourhood  of  Val- 
paraiso. The  “ Laurel  ” of  Chili,  {Laurelia  aromatica,  Juss.,  or  Thiga  chilensis,  Mol.,  and  Pavonia  of  the 
FI.  Per.)  belongs  also  to  the  order  of  Monimece,  but  this  we  have  not  seen.  Mr.  Cruckshanks  informs  us

Hab.  Valparaiso,  (sent  also  by  Mi’.  Bridges.) — This  we  have  the  authority  of  Mr.  Cruckshanks  for 
stating  to  be  the  plant  of  Molina:  there  is,  however,  only  one  flower  in  each  spikelet,  instead  of  three,  as  he 
and  Poiret  assert  it  to  have;  nor  can  we  discover  any  essential  difference  between  it  and  the  Peruvian  plant 
of  Kunth ; but  this  last  we  only  know  from  his  description.  Our  plant  has  the  flowers  monoecious  or  poly- 
gamous. The  style  is  bipartite:  the  hypogynous  scales  with  two  acuminated  points.

is  the  same  species.  The  specimens  are  from  4-5  inches  to  a span  long,  much  branched  at  the  base.  We

Botanist  should  recognize  this  as  the  Fuchsia  rosea  of  Ruiz  and  Pavon,  which  those  authors  declare  to  be 
found  in  rocky  places  about  Valparaiso,  .and  stiU  more  strange  that  both  Anch’ews  and  Sir  J.  E.  Smith  should 
give  it  as  an  inhabitant  of  the  North-West  coast  of  America.  It  was  long  ago  introduced  to  om’  gardens  by

adopted,  but  that  the  genus  seems  scarcely  to  differ  from  Citharexylon.  The  corolla  and  fruit  are  the  same

Mr.  Don  considers  a true  Citharexylon,)  not  hiiear,  as  described  in  Citharexylon  of  Mr.  Don : the  stigma 
is  2-lobed,  and  the  inflorescence  can  scarcely  be  called  racemed.  We  do  not  indeed  find  the  petioles  to  be 
“ callous  at  the  base,  and  evidently  jointed.”  The  leaves  are  dotted  on  the  underside,  as  in  the  Myrtacece.

The  pouch  in  our  specimens  is  broader  than  that  described  by  De  Candolle,  in  tliis  respect  approaching 
that  of  L.  0-Waihiense,  but  the  style  is  very  conspicuous.

This  agrees  with  the  figure  above  quoted  in  all  but  the  presence  of  glands  on  the  underside  of  the 
primary  nerves  of  the  leaf;  but  Dr.  Hamilton  in  Linn.  Trans,  v.  13.  p.  492,  states  it  as  his  opinion,  that  such 
a character  is  not  to  be  depended  on;  and  that  that  derived  even  from  the  dm’ation  of  the  stem  is  of  no  con- 
sequence. This  belongs  to  his  G.  nignart,  “ lana  alba,  semine  nigricante,”  which  includes  the  G.  Barbadense

The  hairs  on  the  stem,  petiole,  and  peduncles,  are  long,  spreading,  and  simple,  though  occasionally  mixed

the  apex  of  the  petiole  the  haws  are  short  and  much  crowded,  and  of  a yellow  colour;  and  this  portion  falls

Our  specimens  are  only  in  bud,  and  may  prove  a distinct  species.  In  one  instance  the  peduncle  is  tei-minal

cannot  be  the  P.  carnea,  Forst.  {Eumachia,  DC.},  since  that  has  only  one  seed  in  each  cell  of  the  fruit;  and

This  plant  has  the  calyx  4-5-toothed,  the  corolla  4-5-lobed,  and  either  4 or  5 stamens.  The  character 
accords  with  that  of  the  genus  in  De  Candolle’s  Prodr.  v.  4.  p.  473,  and  our  species  appears  closely  allied 
both  to  C.  glabrum  and  C.  nitens.

Hab.  Elizabeth  Island. — Of  this  we  have  seen  no  fruit ; but  the  flowers  and  the  general  habit  of  the 
plant  are  so  very  similar  to  those  of  the  preceding,  that  we  cannot  separate  it  from  the  genus  Chiococca. 
The  flowers  are  described  as  fragrant,  and  smelling  like  cowslips ; and  it  may  be  the  Coffma  odorata  of 
Forster,  but  the  description  given  of  that  plant  is  too  brief  to  enable  us  to  judge  u ith  certainty  respecting  it.

it  a genus  distinct  from  any  hitherto  described.  It  covers,  in  consequence  of  its  pecuhar  shape  and  size,  a 
considerable  portion  of  the  perianth,  being  extended  above  into  two  erect  wings,  while  below  it  is  broad  and

This  is  very  nearly  allied  to  F.  dichotoma  and  annua,  which  have  equally  the  leaves  of  the  involucre 
cihated;  but  the  whole  plant  is  larger,  and  diflfers  from  the  former  in  its  smooth  culm  and  leaves,  and 
from  the  latter  by  the  two,  not  three,  stigmas.

Our  plant  is  exactly  the  A.  plantagineum  figiu-ed  by  Blume,  and  equally  the  A.  Lessoni  of  Duperrey’s 
Voyag’e.  Nor  does  the  A.  Durvillei  appear  to  us  to  be  really  distinct  from  it,  according  to  Bory’s  description.

elongated,  the  whole  plant  is  much  larger,  the  fronds  themselves  a foot  or  more  in  length,  the  pinnae  longer 
and  narrower : yet  we  possess  specimens,  from  other  som-ces,  which  seem  to  unite  the  two.

2.  Bleclinum  occidentale.  Linn. 

This  is  identical  with  the  West  Indian  B.  occidentale,  and  probably  the  same  as  the  B,  caudatum  of  Cav. 
from  the  Philippine  islands. 

1.  pallida  ; pinnulis  approximatis  nervosis,  rachi  paleacea. 

This  is  a true  Sadleria  of  Kaulfuss,  a genus,  however,  which  scarcely  differs  from  Blechnum,  except  in 
the  hardened  nature  of  the  involucres,  the  compound  fronds,  and  somewhat  arborescent  caudex.  The  only 
species  hitherto  described,  is  a native  of  the  Sandwich  Islands,  which  differs  from  the  present  in  its  naked 
rachis,  more  elongated  pinnae,  more  remote  and  narrower  pinnules  which  are  quite  destitute  of  nerves,  the 
dark  colom’  of  the  whole  frond,  and  almost  black  involucre.  As  some  of  the  Sandwich  Island  and  Tahiti 
Collections  were  mixed,  it  is  probable  that  this  plant  was  found  in  the  former  place,  particularly  as  it  occurs 
also  among  specimens  undoubtedly  from  these  islands.

This  is  a plant  of  a rather  rigid  habit,  3 or  4.  times  pinnated,  with  narrow,  elongated,  more  or  less  pinnatifid

are  quite  destitute  of  scales.  It  appears  to  be  most  nearly  allied  to  the  Cheilanthes  arborescent,  (Lonchitis

Notwithstanding  some  slight  difference  between  Willdenow’s  description  and  the  above  character,  we

Our  authentic  specimens  of  H.  Chaniissonis  differ  from  those  in  the  CoUection  by  having  rather  smaUer 
thecae ; but  we  can  perceive  no  other  distinction.  The  theca  is  perfectly  straight,  and  nodding  (not  cemu-

The  nearest  affinity  of  this  species  is  perhaps  P.  colpodes  of  Acharius,  figured  by  Swartz  in  his  American 
Lichens,  t.  4.  f.  3 ; but  the  lacinise  of  the  frond  in  our  plant  are  much  broader,  and  the  margin  of  the  apo- 
thecia  more  evident,  crenate,  lobed,  and  leafy.

irregularibus  plicato-undulatis,  apotbeciis  sparsis  majusculis  convexis  centro  depressis  fuscis, 
margine  amplo  rosulato  foliaceo. 

This  Collema  is  perfectly  distinct  from  any  we  have  yet  seen  or  can  find  described.  It  grows  upon  the 
trunks  of  trees,  in  large  patches  of  a deep  brown  colour,  and  of  a thin  gelatinous  texture,  the  lacinise  round, 
much  waved,  and  crisped ; the  margin  of  the  apothecia  is  very  remarkable,  forming  a beautiful  leafy  circle 
around  the  fruit,  and  five  or  six  times  broader  than  the  young  fructifications.  The  C.  phyllocarpum  of 
Gaudichaud,  (Freyc.  Voy.  p.  204,)  from  Brazil,  differs  in  the  glaucous  colour  of  its  foliage,  but  the  margin 
of  the  apothecia  appears  to  be  the  same.

Of  this  extraordinary  and  beautiful  Fungus,  no  specimen  exists  in  the  Collection ; but  an  admirable  draw- 
ing has  been  kindly  communicated  to  us  by  Captain  Beechey,  which  he  made  fi'om  the  recent  plant  in  the 
island  of  Tahiti  j and  which,  with  a vertical  section  from  the  pencil  of  the  same  gentleman,  gives  a better 
idea  of  its  structure  than  can  be  conveyed  by  words.  The  volva  was  probably  omitted  to  be  gathered. 
There  can  scarcely  be  a doubt  of  its  being  the  same  species  with  that  figiu-ed  by  Rumphius : and  it  corre- 
sponds in  so  many  particulars  witli  the  Dictyophora  phalloidea  of  Leveille,  (the  P.  indusiatus  of  Vent,  and 
Fries,)  from  South  America,  that  probably  the  two  species  may  safely  be  united.  Its  geographical  range  is 
certainly  very  extensive ; being  foimd  in  the  interior  of  India,  whence  we  have  specimens  from  Dr.  Wallich, 
gathered  at  SiDiet.

We  have  no  authority  for  supposing  this  to  he  the  H.  Youngianus  of  Gaudichaud,  farther  than  that  he 
states  it  to  be  a new  species  of  the  section  Furcaria  of  De  CandoUe,  to  which  ours  certainly  belongs,  and  is 
a species  closely  allied  to  H.  bifureatus,  Cav.  It  was  found  in  Oahu. 

2.  H.  Boryanusf  De  Cand.  Prodr.  v.  l.p.  446. 

From  the  imperfect  state  of  the  specimen  before  us,  we  cannot  affirm  it  positively  to  be  the  plant  of  De 
Candolle.  The  leaves  are  ovate,  slightly  coriaceous,  3-nerved,  perfectly  smooth,  and  quite  entire.  The  pe- 
duncles are  short,  scarcely  an  inch  long,  and  very  stout.  The  calyx  5-toothed,  and  split  up  on  one  side  by 
the  swelling  of  the  fruit,  as  in  De  Candolle’s  section  Manihot.  The  carpels  are  polyspermous,  and  the  seeds 
covered  with  fulvous  hairs.  Perhaps,  then,  this  is  a new  species,  and  more  closely  allied  to  H.  rhombifolius, 
Cav. ; but  we  possess  a plant  in  flower  from  Owhyhee,  collected  by  Mr.  Macrae  in  Byron’s  Bay,  wbich  seems 
to  be  the  same  as  ours : this  certainly  belongs  to  the  section  Cremontia  by  the  nature  of  its  corolla,  and 
has  toothed  leaves,  as  in  H.  Boryanus:  the  flowers  are,  however,  red,  not  white,  and  the  leaves  are 
3-nerved,  as  in  the  specimen  from  Oahu.

Found  in  Oahu,  where  it  was  also  met  with  by  Nr.  Macrae.  It  dififers  principally  from  S.  ulmifolia  of 
CavaniUes,  by  the  leaves  being  not  acuminated  and  scarcely  at  all  pubescent ; but  we  do  not  consider  it  a 
distinct  species.

There  are  three  states  of  this  species  in  the  Collection  j one  with  the  pedicels  solitary,  and  this  appears 
to  be  the  type  of  the  species ; another  with  the  pedicels  in  pairs,  and  also  densely  clustered  or  umbellate  at 
the  tops  of  the  short  young  branches,  but  differing  from  the  former  in  no  other  respect ; the  third  has  the 
leaves  much  smaller  and  rounder  than  either  of  the  others,  and  the  peduncle  solitary.  We  might  have  been 
disposed  to  have  sepai’ated  these  into  as  many  distinct  species,  but  Mr.  CoUie,  whose  notes  are  before  us,  calls 
them  aU  by  the  manuscript  name  of  8.  incequalis,  stating-  that  their  vernacular  appellation  is  Irima;  while, 
again  Gaudichaud  remarks  that  Rima,  Irima,  and  Ouirima,  are  all  applicable  to  S.  rotundifolia.

Our  specimen,  found  in  Oahu,  is  in  a very  imperfect  state ; still  we  have  little  hesitation  in  believing  it  to 
be  the  same  with  the  species  noticed  by  Oaudichaud,  and  also  by  Adrien  de  Jussieu,  in  his  Memoir  on  the

before  us,  the  peduncle  has  only  three  flowers,  one  of  which  is  terminal,  and  the  other  two  are  lateral  and 
opposite  to  each  other,  all  of  them  pedicellate.  Although,  foUondng  De  CandoUe’s  Prodromus,  we  have 
placed  this  genus  in  Terebinthacece,  Jussieu  appears  to  us  to  have  done  right  in  referring  it  to  the

Found  in  Oahu. — The  want  of  authentic  materiak,  and  the  imperfect  descriptions  hitherto  given  of  Dolichos 
and  the  allied  genera,  r^der  an  accurate  determination  of  the  species  next  to  impossible.  If  we  be  correct, 
this  plant  has  only  been  previously  met  with  in  Chili.

This  was  found  in  Oneeheow. — The  two  upper  lobes  of  the  calyx  are  very  large  and  rounded,  the  lower 
ones  oblong  and  obtuse.  As  a species,  it  is  very  closely  allied  to  Dolichos  galeatus,  (Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy. 
p.  486.  t.  115,)  which  is  also  a Canavalia,  but  that  has  perfectly  smooth  acuminated  leaves,  and  the  lower 
divisions  of  its  calyx  are  lanceolate  and  acute.

We  have  seen  only  the  leaves,  but  we  think  there  can  be  no  doubt  as  to  the  plant. 

1.  Acacia  hetei'ophylla',  phyllodiis  linearibus  utrinque  attenuatis  subfalcatis  midtinerviis,

“ Forst.  Prodr.  n.  395.” 

Gaudichaud  remarks  of  this  species,  that  in  the  more  elevated  parts  of  the  island,  its  phyllodia  always  bear 
bipinnate  leaves,  but  that  in  the  lower  districts  these  disappear;  also,  that  the  higher  up  they  grow,  the 
narrower  are  the  phyllodia,  while  below  they  are  broader,  being  hnear-lanceolate,  lanceolate,  and  sometimes 
oval.  In  the  specimens  found  by  Mr.  Menzies,  the  phyllodia  are  considerably  broader  than  in  those  in 
the  present  Collection,  so  that  we  have  not  hesitated  to  unite  again,  as  had  been  formerly  done  by  Lamarck, 
the  A.  laurifolia  with  the  present  species.  The  peduncles  sometimes  bear  only  one  head  of  flowers ; but 
more  commonly,  and  on  the  same  plant,  they  form  a raceme.

rather  more  than  half  a line  long,  which  is  incrassated  and  blunt,  not  acute  at  the  apex  as  in  C.  oxyadena,  to 
which  this  species  seems  allied.  The  pod  is  about  three  lines  broad,  and  3-4  inches  long,  very  compressed 
and  membranaceous,  suddenly  and  shortly  attenuated  at  both  extremities.  There  are  complete  septa  between 
the  seeds,  which  are  flat  and  almost  black.

confounded  by  Smith  with  his  ilf.  villosa,  to  which  it  is  indeed  too  closely  allied,  and  perhaps  only  distinguish- 
able by  the  pedicellate  flowers.  This  appears,  according  to  Gaudichaud’s  valuable  observations,  to  be  a most 
variable  plant.  Nothing,  says  he,  is  more  remarkable  than  the  M.  polymorpha,  which  is  found  with  linear 
leaves  towards  the  summit  of  the  mountain,  but  successively  linear-lanceolate,  lanceolate,  ovate,  obovate.

the  first  instance,  become  pubescent,  downy,  and  more  and  more  tomentose.  Were  it  not  for  such  authority, 
we  might  have  been  induced  to  malfe  several  species  out  of  this.  Some  forms  of  var.  /3.  are  very  closely  allied 
to  M.  diffusa,  (page  63,)  and  ai-e  chiefly  distinguishable  from  it  by  the  shape  of  the  inflorescence,  and  the 
much  larger  calyx  and  flower.  The  petioles,  which,  in  the  present  plant  we  have  termed  short,  are  not  more 
than  one-fom-th  of  the  length  of  the  leaf;  this  is,  however,  common  to  most  of  the  genus,  but  not  to  the 
following  species.

We  have  been  enabled  to  draw  up  this  description  more  fuUy  by  means  of  specimens  collected  by  Mr.

pecuharly  conspicuous  bracteas  during  the  first  stage  of  flowering,  is  sometimes  so  considerably  impaired,  that 
were  it  not  for  the  uniformly  long  petioles,  double  the  length,  in  i)roportion  to  that  of  the  leafj  of  those 
in  M.  polymorpha,  M.  diffusa,  and  their  allies,  we  had  almost  arranged  it  as  a variety  of  the  former.

The  leaves  are  decidedly  but  not  deeply  five  or  sometimes  seven-lobed ; smooth  on  their  upper  surface, 
except  towards  the  margin,  where  they  are  fui-nished  with  small  white  tubercles,  similar  to  those  which 
cover  the  whole  underside,  and  make  it  rough  to  the  touch.  The  male  flowers  are  in  branched  panicles . 
the  panicle  on  a peduncle  about  two  inches  long,  which  is  axillary;  the  perianth  is  five-cleft;  all  the 
filaments  are  connected  together  into  a tube,  at  the  top  of  which  are  five  sessile  anthers,  forming  a little 
head.  The  female  flowers  are  numerous  in  each  capitulum : they  ai-e  sessile ; but  the  capitulum  itself  is  on 
a peduncle,  about  three-foiu-ths  of  an  inch  long,  that  springs  from  the  same  axil  with  that  which  supports 
the  males.  The  fruit  is  ovate,  about  a line  and  a half  long,  suddenly  attenuated  into  a beak  which  is  almost 
half  the  length  of  the  broad  portion;  many  fall  off  before  maturity,  leaving  only  four  or  five  to  each 
peduncle:  there  are  no  spines,  but  the  siu-face  appears  somewhat  uneven.  There  is  one  seed  in  each. — 
This  species  appears  most  nearly  allied  to  S.  microphyllus,  H.  B.  K.,  but  differs  in  many  particulars.  It  was 
collected  by  Mr.  Collie  among  the  volcanic  rocks  on  Diamond  Hill,  in  Oahu.

This  is  a small-sized  tree,  the  branches  heing  soft  and  spongy,  and  fiUed  with  pith.  The  leaves  are 
opposite ; the  petioles  are  short,  and  furnished  with  a remarkable  dilatation  or  appendage  at  their  back,  where 
they  spring  from  the  branch.  This  dilatation  is  not  connected  mth  the  branch  by  any  vessels ; but  when 
the  leaf  falls  off,  which  it  does  very  readily,  it  leaves  a heart-shaped  scar,  so  large  as  almost  to  meet  that  at 
the  base  of  the  opposite  leaf.  De  Candolle  places  this  in  the  Saxifragea,  close  to  Hydrangea  and  Deutzia, 
to  the  former  of  which  genera  it  is  allied  in  habit : but  the  style,  which  is  very  short,  has  a truncate  and 
simple,  although  indistinctly  lobed  stigma;  and  the  ovarium  has  five  cells,  and  is  perfectly  free  from  the  calyx.

The  panicles  are  much  shorter  than  the  leaves.  Two  of  the  leaflets  are  often  abortive,  so  that  the  leaves 
appear  ternate.  The  three  styles  render  it  dubious  whether  to  place  this  species  in  Aralia  or  Panax. 
It  was  first  discovered  long  ago  by  Mr.  Menzies,  from  whom  we  have  a specimen  in  our  herbarium.

foliolis  tribus  longe  petiolulatis  ovatis  integerrimis  coriaceis. 

The  whole  plant,  as  far  as  we  can  judge  from  the  individual  before  us,  is  quite  glabrous.  The  petioles  are 
opposite,  about  three  or  four  inches  long : the  partial  ones  about  an  inch  or  an  inch  and  a half.  The  leaflets  are 
broadly  ovate,  not  acuminated,  but  slightly  obtuse ; the  upper  sirnface  is  glossy ; the  margin  perfectly  entire. 
There  is  neither  flower  nor  fruit  on  the  only  specimen  in  the  Collection,  which  was  found  in  Oneeheow ; but 
it  is  very  nearly  allied  to  the  last  species.

This  is  a very  remarkable  species,  and  we  have  seen  it  in  no  other  collection.  The  flowers  are  not 
expanded,  so  that  we  cannot  describe  the  fruit.  It  was  among  the  plants  foimd  in  Oahu,  but  no  notice  has

baccatus,  bilocularis,  loculis  polyspermis. 

This  has  much  the  habit  of  Stylocoryne  racemosa,  Cav.,  but  cannot  be  placed  in  that  genus,  on  account 
of  the  quacfridentate  calyx  and  bifid  style.

We  only  possess  this  in  a very  imperfect  state  : there  is  no  coroUa,  but  the  mature  fruit  is  a dry  bilocular 
polyspermous  berry,  as  in  P.  f terminalis,  exhibiting  the  remains  of  four  teeth  at  the  apex.  It  is  closely 
allied  to  the  last  species,  but  the  leaves  are  more  obtuse  and  coriaceous.

In  our  specimens,  all  the  leaves  are  perfectly  sessile : those  towards  the  bottom  of  the  branch  are  oblongo- 
lanceolate,  while  a pair  of  cordate  ones  subtend  each  division,  both  general  and  partial,  of  the  inflorescence, 
giving  it  a remarkable  bracteated  appearance.  Of  this  we  possess  the  lower  leaves  only,  in  a specimen  from 
Mr.  Menzies.

oppositis  apice  bracteas  duas  foliaceas  floresque  glomeratos  gerentibus,  calyce  corollaque

The  flowers  may  be  said  to  be  in  axillary  pedunculate  capituli,  if  the  axis  of  the  panicle  be  viewed  as  a 
continuation  of  the  branch.  The  calyx  and  coroUa  are  pubescent : the  teeth  of  the  calyx  are  linear  and  very 
rigid.  Hedyotis  conostyla.  Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  471.  t.  94,  is  a species  of  Kadua,  bearing  considerable

We  have  drawn  up,  for  this  and  K.  cordata,  characters  somewhat  different  from  those  given  by  De  Can-

otis  coriacea  of  Smith  is  by  no  means  the  same,  although  also  a species  of  this  genus.  This  last  may  be  called 
K.  Smithii;  ramis  teretibus  versus  apicem  compressis,  fohis  coriaceis  ovato-ellipticis  glabris  petiolatis, 
stipulis  triangularibus  obtuse  apiculatis,  panicula  terminali  trichotoma  densa,  calyce  corollaque  pubescentibus. 
The  tube  of  the  corolla  is  long,  and  has  the  segments  of  the  limb  strongly  deflexed,  with  long  acuminated 
recurved  points.

We  have  not  observed  that  the  segments  of  the  calyx  are  ciliated,  as  the  above-mentioned  authors  describe 
them,  although  the  bracteolte  ai’e  so. 

2.  Colfea  Chamissonis  ; foliis  elliptico-oblongis  in  axillis  venarum  scrobiculatis  margine

It  is  unnecessary  to  give  a more  detailed  description,  so  similar  is  this  species  to  the  last.  It  principally 
differs  by  the  leaves,  even  the  younger  ones  being  quite  glabrous,  and  by  the  absence  of  the  fi-inge  of  short 
red  hairs  at  the  upper  margin  of  the  cicatrice,  upon  the  fall  of  the  leaves ; the  bracteolse,  also,  are  free  from 
any  ciliation.  In  both,  the  shape  of  the  fruit  is  precisely  the  same,  being  turbinate,  Avith  often  one  abortive 
• cell. — There  are  fragments  of  some  more  Rubiaceous  plants  in  the  Collection,  but  too  imperfect  to  be  made

squamatis,  squamis  involucri  oblongo-lanceolatis,  radio  involucrum  subaequante. 

There  is  only  one  specimen  in  the  Collection,  and  in  it  the  stem  is  simple  below  the  panicle. 

2.  Erigeron  paucijlorus ; caule  fruticoso  I’amoso  glabro,  ramulis  pubescentibus,  foliis

involucri  oblongis  acutis,  radio  involucrum  subaequante. 

In  many  respects  very  closely  allied  to  E.  linifolius,  W.,  and  stiU  more  to  E.  Canadensis.  We  have  it 
also  from  Mr.  Macrae.  The  stigmas  are  long,  linear,  and  papillose,  almost  as  in  Eupatorium.

1.  Verbesina  foftata  ; fruticosa,  foliis  ovatis  digitato-tri-quinquelobis  argute  et  grosse  ser-

Voy.  p.  464. 

We  do  not  observe  in  our  specimens  that  the  leaves  ai’e  distinctly  digitate,  they  are  merely  deeply  lobed, 
but  otherwise  they  agree  with  the  above  character  given  by  Gaudichaud.  They  are  opposite  and  very  rugose. 
The  stem  is  scabrous.  The  flowers  are  on  long  peduncles.  The  involucrum  is  double,  the  exterior  of  five 
broadly  ovate  coriaceous  leaves ; the  inner  smaller,  flve-leaved,  and  membranaceous.  The  florets  of  the  ray 
are  about  nine  in  number,  and  yellow.  The  receptacle  paleaceous.  The  achenia  of  the  ray  are  trigonal,  and 
crowned  with  three  awns ; those  of  the  disk  compressed,  and  with  two  aristae. — Of  this  there  are  in  the  Col- 
lection fragments  of  a variety,  or  perhaps  a closely  allied  species,  with  the  leaves  not  at  all  lobed,  but  differing 
in  no  other  particular. 

2.  Verbesina  hastulata  ; suflfruticosa,  foliis  oppositis  breve  petiolatis  ovato-lanceolatis  3- 
nervibus  versus  basin  utrinque  sursum  lobulatis  grosse  serratis  supra  scabris  subtus  hispidis. 

We  almost  incline  to  suppose  that  F.  connata,  (Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  464,)  may  be  the  same  w ith  this, 
being  found  in  the  same  island,  and  possessing  many  points  in  common : but  that  author  says  that  in  his 
species  the  leaves  are  sessile  and  connate,  whereas,  in  ours,  they  are  shortly  but  decideflly  petiolate.  There 
is  only  one  specimen  in  the  Collection. 

3.  Verbesina  succulenta  ; herbacea  glabra  nitida  succulenta,  foliis  oppositis  oblongo-ovatis 
apice  obtusis  mucronulatis  basi  in  petiolum  attenuatis  supra  medium  crenulato-serratis. 

Found  among  volcanic  rocks  on  the  shore  of  the  island  of  Oneeheow,  wdiere  it  is  called  Nehe  or  Nenehe. 
The  lower  part  of  the  leaf  is  quite  entire.  The  peduncles  are  teiminal  and  solitary,  and  the  leaves  of  the 
involucre  orbicular.  The  receptacle  is  convex : the  achenia  are  compressed  or  trigonal,  one  of  the  angles 
l)eing  exceedingly  sharp,  or  almost  produced  into  a wing,  which  is  denticulate : they  are  crowmed  by  tw'o  or 
three  short  aristae,  according  to  the  number  of  angles.  We  feel  uncertain  as  to  the*  genus : the  character 
iigrees  sufficiently  with  that  of  Verbesina,  but  the  habit  is  more  that  of  Spilanthes  or  Acmella. 

1.  Dubautia  laxa  ; foliis  oblongo-lanceolatis  basi  attenuatis  argute  serratis  subtus  strigoso- 
liispidis,  panicula  corymbosa  laxa  nudiuscida. 

If  Gaudichaud  be  correct  in  his  description,  om-  species  cannot  be  the  same  as  his,  which  may  be  chai-ac- 
terised  thus : D.  plantaginea  ; foliis  amplexicaulibus  lineari-lanceolatis  acuminatis  crenatis  glabris,  panicula

Tridax  and  Craspedia.  It  has  also  some  affinity  to  the  new  genus  Failliarda^  of  which  we  possess  three 
new  species  from  Mr.  Menzies  and  Mr.  Macrae,  aU  from  the  Sandwich  Islands.

As  the  characters  of  Delissea  and  the  two  following  genera,  whether  they  be  viewed  as  distinct  genera, 
or  only  as  sections  of  Lobelia^  are  only  to  be  found  in  the  above-cpioted  work,  we  shall  transcribe  them  here. —

The  character  of  this  sub-genus  is: — Cyanea.  Gaud.;  Calyx  ovario  adnatus  10-sulcatus;  limbus  foliaceus 
longior  5-partitus,  laciniis  oblongis  margine  reflexis  et  undulato-crispis.  Corolla  tubuloso-cylindracea,  arcu- 
ata, limbo  5-partito  subbilabiato.  Stamina  5 : tubus  stamineus  liber.  Antherie  connatae,  barbatse.  Capsula

3.  Lobelia  ( Rollandia)  lanceolata ; ramosa,  foliis  magnis  oblongo-lanceolatis  duplicato-

atis,  staminibiis  epipetalis.  Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  458.  t.  74.  (R.  montana.) 

The  specimen  in  the  Collection  has  much  larger  leaves  than  that  figured  by  Gaudichaud,  to  which  another 
in  our  herbarium,  from  Mr.  Macrae,  exactly  corresponds;  but  to  the  latter  the  term  folia  magna  can 
scarcely  be  applied,  while  those  before  us  well  deserve  the  name,  being  from  a foot  to  a foot  and  a half  long. 
Gaudichaud  thus  characterises  Rollandia  : — Calyx  ovario  arete  adnatus ; limbus  liberus  5-partitus,  laciniis 
abbreviatis  obtusis.  Corolla  tubulosa,  lateribus  compressa  arcuata,  tubo  indiviso,  limbo  5-pai'tito  subbilabiato. 
Stamina  5 ; tubus  stamineus  inferne  parti  superiori  corollie  adnatus.  Anther®  coluerentes  bai’batee.  Stigma 
bilobum  pilis  cinctiun.  Capsula  baccata,  indehiscens,  bilocularis,  calyce  persistente  coronata.  Semina  creber- 
i-ima.— The  genus  Clermontia,  Gaud.,  was  not  observed  during  the  expedition  under  Capt.  Beechey : we,  how- 
ever, possess  C.  oblongifolia  and  grandifiora.  Gaud.,  from  Mr.  Macrae.  This  differs  from  the  former  genera 
by  the  calyx  being  coloured,  tubular,  curved,  and  as  long  as  the  tube  of  the  corolla. 

4.  Lobelia  macrostachys  ; glaberrima,  caule  elato  stricto,  foliis  lineai’i-lanceolatis  utrinque

From  the  appearance  of  this  pLant  we  may  presume  it  to  be  either  shrubby  or  suffruticose.  The  flowers 
are  of  a whitish  coloiu’,  but  were  probably  bluish  when  recent.

1.  Scaevola  Gaudichaudi ; fruticosa  erecta  glabra,  foliis  spathulato-lanceolatis  acutis 
integerrimis,  axillis  barbatis,  pedunculis  axillaribus  folio  multoties  brevioribus  unifloris, 
corolla  glabra,  drupis  ovalibus  urceolo  5-dentato  coronatis  bilocularibus  dispermis,  bracteolis 
linearibus. — S.  montana?  Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  460. 

In  the  specimen  before  us,  the  leaves  are  not  falcate ; but  there  is  no  other  essential  difference  between 
it  and  the  plant  of  Gaudichaud.  We  regret  we  cannot  retain  the  name  applied  to  it  by  that  Botanist,  as  there 
is  a previous  S.  montana  of  LabiUardiere. 

2.  Scssvola  Chamissoniana ; fruticosa  erecta  glabra,  foliis  oblongis  utrinque  acuminatis 
argute  denticulatis,  axillis  barbatis,  pedunculis  axillaribus  dicliotomis  folium  subaequan- 
tibus,  floribus  dichotomiarum  sessilibus,  calycibus  abbreviatis,  5-dentatis,  corollis  pubescen- 
tibus,  drupis  bilocularibus.  Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  461.  t.  82. 

In  oim  specimen,  the  corolla  is  scai’cely  pubescent,  and  is  smaller  than  as  exhibited  in  Gaudichaud’s 
figure. 

3.  Scaevola  glabra ; fruticosa  erecta  glabra,  foliis  cuneato-obovatis  oblique  acuminulatis 
longe  petiolatis  obscure  et  remote  glanduloso-denticulatis,  axillis  barbatis,  pedunculis  axil- 
laribus unifloris  petiolo  dimidio  brevioribus  nudis,  corolla  glabra,  calycis  dentibus  tubum 
aequantibus. 

This  species  appears,  at  first  sight,  very  nearly  allied  to  S.  Chamissoniana,  but  the  inflorescence  is  totally 
different.  The  leaves  are  almost  entire,  only  exhibiting  a few  distant  very  minute  glandular  teeth.  There  are 
no  bracteas,  apparently,  on  the  peduncle ; but  at  the  same  time,  a decided  scar  is  to  be  seen  at  the  base  of  the 
calyx,  on  both  sides,  which  seems  to  indicate  that  they  may  have  been  present  at  a very  early  period.  The 
corolla  is  much  larger  than  in  the  last  species.  The  petiole  is  about  an  inch,  or  an  inch  and  a half  long. 

4.  Sceevola  mollis;  fruticosa  erecta  dense  pubescens,  foliis  oblongo-lanceolatis  supra 
glabris  subtus  sericeo-tomentosis  petiolatis  glanduloso-denticulatis,  axillis  barbatis,  pedun- 
culis petiolo  brevioribus  axillaribus  divaricatis,  ramis  flexuosis  paucifloris,  bracteolis  sub- 
ulatis  recurvis,  corolla  sericeo-tomentosa,  calycis  dentibus  5 brevissimis  obtusis. 

Very  closely  allied  to  S.  sericea,  Forst.,  but,  as  we  thinlt,  perfectly  distinct.  The  whole  plant  is  so 
extremely  fragile,  that  there  is  not  an  entire  specimen  in  the  Collection.  Besides  these  four  species,  we  also 
possess  S.  Konigii  from  the  same  islands,  gathered  by  Mi’.  Macrae.

Linnesa,  v.  \.  p.  539. 

That  the  present,  although  only  in  fruit,  is  truly  the  plant  of  Chamisso,  we  have  satisfied  ourselves  by  a 
comparison  of  it  with  specimens  sent  us  by  that  Botanist;  but  we  are  by  no  means  certain  whether  C.  Banksii

(Gaud,  iu  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  98,)  is  the  same,  since  no  description  has  been  given.  Mr.  Brown  takes  notice  of 
two  other  species  found  in  the  Sandwich  Islands,  both  with  the  segments  of  the  corolla  quite  naked ; these, 
however,  we  have  not  seen.  The  habit  of  our  plant  is  so  similar  to  Leucopogon  obovatus,  LabiU.,  that 
Sprengel  has  united  them  without  attending  to  the  position  or  number  of  the  bracteie  at  the  base  of  the  calyx.

fructibus  olivaeformibus  longitudinalitei'  multi-sulcatis. 

This  is  a very  handsome  species,  and  perhaps,  as  we  at  first  thought,  the  A.  olivaformis  of  Gaudichaud 
(Freyc.  Voy.  p.  451,)  found  in  the  same  islands;  but  there  are  too  many  points  of  discrepancy  to  allow 
of  our  joining  them.  The  leaves  are  never,  that  we  see,  in  threes;  nor  are  they  acute  at  both  extremities, 
as  in  Gauchchaud’s  plant ; nor  do  we  thiiilv  he  would  have  neglected  to  notice  the  numerous  longitudinal 
furrows  on  the  fruit.  From  A.  scandens,  Forst.,  this  differs  in  many  respects,  particularly  in  the  furrowed 
fruit,  which  has  a perfectly  even  smface  in  that  species ; a character  we  omitted  to  remark  at  page  66,  from 
not  being  at  that  time  acquainted  with  the  present  plant.

species.  It  is  very  closely  allied  to  C.  maculata,  WiUd.,  nor  can  we  easily  point  out  any  character  to 
separate  the  two,  except  the  shape  of  the  leaves,  which  in  our  plant  are  very  much  broader,  and  not  at  all 
spotted,  as  is  weU  represented  in  the  other  species  by  Jacquin,  (Ic.  Rar.ii.  t.  321.)  There  ai’e  constantly  foiu-

There  are  two  varieties  in  the  Collection,  one  of  which  has  the  leaves  twice  as  long  as  those  figured  by

Although  Gaudichaud  describes  his  plant  as  having  single-flowered  peduncles,  still  we  think  it  the  same 
as  ours;  indeed,  on  some  of  the  specimens  before  us  there  is  only  one  flower,  or  rather  fruit,  to  each 
peduncle ; but  a slight  inspection  show's  that  this  is  caused  by  all  the  pedicels  but  one  having  fallen  off'. 
In  the  Collection  there  are  two  states  or  varieties ; one  with  much  smaller  and  more  rigid  leaves  than 
the  other.  Gaudichaud  enumerates  and  figures  yet  another  species,  C.  triflora  ; foliis  oblongis  subaciuninatis

Found  on  the  islands  of  Oahu  and  Oneeheow.  Gaudichaud  notices  a species  of  this  genus  rvhich 
he  met  with,  and  which  is  pi-obably  the  same  as  ours.  The  calyx  is  more  or  less  covered  with  yeUow 
resinous  glands,  which  we  do  not  find  noticed  by  authors.  Mr.  Bentham,  in  the  Liuntea,  v.  6.  p.  80, 
states  the  species  detected  in  Oahu,  by  Chamisso,  to  be  P.  parviflorus,  Willd.;  and  certainly  ours  accords 
well  with  the  figure  given  in  the  Hort.  Berol.  t.  65 ; but  the  calyx  is  described  as  without  glands.

Mr.  Bentham  remarks  that  Gaudichaud’s  plate  is  compounded  of  the  present  and  the  next  species : in  this, 
the  corolla  is  much  the  smallest.  The  specimen  in  the  Collection  is  very  imperfect,  but  we  have  one  from 
Mr.  Macrae.  As  this  genus  has  been  only  lately  separated  by  Mr.  Bentham  from  Prasium,  we  shall  here 
quote  the  character:  Phyllostegia.  Gaud.  Calyx  ovatus,  10-nervis,  suhaequalis,  nunc  5-fidus,  lobis  ovatis 
foliaceis,  nunc  breviter  5-dentatus.  Corolla  tubo  calycem  superante,  nunc  longe  exserto,  saepius  incurvo,

divergentibus  vel  demiun  divaricatis.  Stylus  apice  clavatus,  breviter  bifidus,  lobis  clavato-divaidcatis  vel 
liinatis.  Achenia  carnosa.  Verticillastra  racemosa  vel  paniculata,  foliis  floralibus  bracteiformibus. 

2.  Phyllostegia  Chamissonis  ; glaberrima,  foliis  petiolatis  ovatis  acuminatis  serrato-crena-

triplo  longiore,  styli  lobis  clavatis,  superiore  sub  I’ecto  tenuiore.  Benth.  in  Linncea,  v.  6.  jo.  81. 

The  corolla  is  about  an  inch  and  a quarter  long,  being  almost  as  large  as  in  P.  yrandifiora,  but  it  is  glabrous 
and  not  pubescent.

Oahu  with  from  five  to  six  stamens,  and  as  many  styles,  which  is  probably  a variety  of  P.  octandra,  but  the

This  is  perhaps  one  of  the  most  interesting  plants  in  the  whole  Collection,  being  the  celebrated  Sandwich 
Island  Sandal-wood.  Another  species,  S.  elliptiaim,  with  axillary  racemes  and  yelloAvish-green  flow'ers,  has 
been  likewise  discovered  by  Gaudichaud.  We  possess  also,  in  our  herbarium,  a third,  from  the  volcano  of

It  is  difficult  to  decide  fi-om  the  specimens,  whether  the  stem  be  that  of  a lai’ge  shrub  or  a tree : the  petioles

The  specimens  in  the  Collection  are  imperfect,  but  they  accord  so  precisely  with  others  from  New  Holland

We  cannot  refer  this  to  any  knorni  species.

Gaud,  in  Fi'eyc.  Voy.  p.  100?  (absque  descriptione. ) 

If  we  be  right  in  referring  this  to  the  plant  alluded  to  by  Gaudichaud,  it  must  be  a very  variable  species ; 
that  Botanist  remarking  that  in  elevated  situations,  it  forms  a small  tree,  the  trunk  of  which  is  three  or  four 
inches  in  diameter;  but,  in  descending,  is  found  smaller;  till  at  last,  in  low  cultivated  places,  it  is  only 
suffruticose  or  even  herbaceous. 

4.  Euphorbia  clusicefolia  ; caule  inermi  fruticoso  ramoso,  foliis  oppositis  oblongo-ellipticis 
obtusis  integerrimis  coriaceis  glabris  subtus  aveniis,  pedunculis  axillaribus  bifidis. 

The  specimen  before  us  is  in  an  imperfect  state : resembling  in  habit  certain  Peperomice,  particularly  P. 
clusiafolia.  The  above  species  of  Euphorbia  were  only  observed  in  Oahu.

oblongis  acutiusculis  subtus  pallidioribus,  pedunculis  subsolitariis  capillaribus  cernuis  folio 
quater  brevioribus. 

Allied  to  P.  rliamnoides  and  P.  cernuus,  but  not  agreeing  with  either.  The  branches  below  the  leaves 
are  almost  cylindrical,  but,  nearer  the  extremity,  they  are  more  compressed  and  two-edged.  The  bark  is 
slightly  rugose.  The  leaves  vary  from  one  to  two  inches  in  length.

This  ^emis,  by  its  sessile,  multifid  stigma,  approaches  most  to  Procris,  but  its  habit  is  that  of  Parietaria. 
The  character  of  Dubreulia,  as  given  by  Gauctichaud,  is  nearly  as  follows : — Flores  sessiles ; masculi  et  foeminei

squamiformia,  incurva.  Stigma  sessile  mnltipartitum. — Gaudichaud  does  not  seem  to  be  aware  of  its  identity 
with  Pilea  of  Mr.  Lindley.  Urtica  serpyllacea,  microphylla,  callitrichoides,  and  several  others,  belong  to  it. 

1.  Procris  glabra;  foliis  alternis  ovatis  vix  acuminatis  crenato-serratis  glabris  laevibus,

Procris,  with  which  we  consider  Elatostemma  identical,  as  also  Sciopliila,  PelUonia,  and  Langeveldia  of 
Gaudichaud,  differ  from  Boehmeria  by  the  stigma,  which,  in  the  latter  genus,  is  simple,  elongated,  and  villous 
on  one  side. 

1.  Boehmeria  albida ; dioica  arborea,  foliis  alternis  late  ovatis  acuminatis  trinerviis

sexus  globosis  axillaribus  sessilibus,  perianthio  membranaceo,  aclienio  ovato-elliptico. 

A very  handsome  species,  belonging  to  the  section  Pi'ocris  of  Gaudichaud ; but  we  have,  along  udth 
Sprengel,  retained  that  name  for  what  Gaudichaud  calls  Elatostemma. 

2.  Boehmeria  melastomopfolia ; foliis  alternis  oblongis  acuminatis  basi  acutis  trinerviis

Neraudia  melastommfolia.  Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  500.  t.  117. 

Neraudia  of  Gaudichaud  is  principally  distinguished  from  Boehmeria  by  the  shape  of  the  achenium, 
and  the  consistence  of  the  perianth  siu-rounding  the  ripe  fruit.  We  do  not  think  it  necessary  to  sepai’ate 
them.

We  agi’ee  with  Gaudicliaud  in  thinking  the  plant  from  the  Sandwich  Islands  scarcely  distinct  from  that 
found  in  North  America.

Found  both  in  Oahu  and  Oneeheow.  This  species  belongs  to  the  genus  Trichelostylis,  Lestib,,  but  it 
ought  not  to  be  placed  in  a different  one  from  F.  dichotoma,  or  from  our  F.  affinis. 

1.  Morelotia  gahnioeforinis.  Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  416.  t.  28. 

This  genus  being  lately  established,  and  peculiar  to  the  Sandwich  Islands,  we  shall  here  give  its  character : 
Morelotia,  Gaud.; — Spiada  apice  uniflora | squama,  comphwes  undique  imbricatse,  ovatse,  coucavse, apice 
aristatse.  Stamina  3,  exserta,  persistentia.  Ovarium  ellipticiim,  sessile.  Stylus  filiformis,  exsertus.  Stig- 
mata 3,  plumosa.  Fructus  elhpticus,  osseus,  lievis,  nitens,  sulcis  tribus  longitudinaliter  exaratus. — The  stems 
are  caespitose,  ei’ect,  leafy,  and  cylindrical ; the  leaves  very  narrow,  linear.  The  panicles  are  terminal  and 
crowded.  The  fruit  is  deciduous,  but  remains  for  some  time  suspended  by  the  filaments,  which  become 
entangled  udth  the  convolute  apices  of  the  squamae, 

1.  Nincentisi  angustifolia  ; foliis  angustatis  linearibus  culmo  parum  brevioribus. — Gaud, 
in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  417. 

Gaudichaud  named  this  genus  in  honour  of  Bory  de  St.  Vincent,  but  as  there  is  already  Borya  dedicated 
to  him,  a second  is,  by  all  Botanical  rules,  inadmissible : we  have,  however,  allowed  it  to  remain,  rather 
than  create  confusion  by  altering  it. — We  believe  there  can  be  no  doubt  entertained  of  our  plant  being 
identical,  as  a species,  with  that  described  by  Gaudichaud,  but  the  character  given  does  not  strictly  accord 
with  the  specimens  before  us.  We  therefore  propose  the  following: — Vincentia; — Spiculm  subsexflorae. 
Squama  undique  imbricatse,  carinato-concavae  j inferiores  concavse  summaque  vacuse.  Periantliium  trivalve. 
Seta  hypogynse  nullae.  Stamina  3.  Ovarium  sessile,  triangulare,  anguhs  acutissimis.  Stylus  1,  inferne 
dilatatus,  triangiflaris,  pubescens,  cum  ovario  continuus,  superne  trifidus.  Nux  triquetra,  basi  styli  persis- 
tente  cuspidata. — To  this  genus  belong  Scirpus  lavarum,  anceps,  and  mdifolius,  nor  perhaps  are  there  any 
good  specific  characters  to  be  found  between  them:  they  have  aU  been  usually  refen-ed  to  Macliaerina 
restoides,  from  which,  however,  this  genus  differs  by  the  absence  of  hypogynous  setae,  and  by  the  scales 
imbricated  on  aU  sides : from  Lepidosperma  it  is  distinguished  by  the  nature  of  the  perianth.

We  feel  extremely  doubtful  about  any  of  the  S5Tionyms.  Our  plant,  judging  by  a solitary  imperfect  speci- 
men, is  nearly  allied  to  C.  strigosus.

Sometimes  the  rays  of  the  umbel  are  not  again  divided,  but  bear  the  ultimate  sessile  spikelets  in  a head 
at  their  extremity.  There  are  two  varieties  in  the  Collection,  one  with  spikelets,  containing  about  thirty 
flowers,  and  the  culm  free  from  all  asperities  j the  other  with  shorter,  more  ovate  spikelets,  of  from  eight  to 
ten  flowers,  and  the  angles  of  the  cuhn  scabrous  near  the  umbel.  In  this  last,  the  ultimate  umbels  are  not

This  has  many  points  in  common  with  C.  Monti;  but  the  stem  is  acutely  angular.  Each  ray  of  the 
umbel  has  on  its  upper  half  several  horizontal  alternate  branches,  of  which  the  lower  are  the  longest,  and  the 
upper  gradually  shorter.  These  again,  particularly  the  lower  ones,  have  also  alternate  branches,  along  which 
are  placed  the  turgid  spikelets.  The  stem  is  from  fifteen  inches  to  two  feet  high.  The  leaves  resemble  those 
of  some  of  the  larger  species  of  Carex.

culmo  acute  triquetro. 

There  is  only  one  specimen  in  the  Collection.  We  have  named  this  species  in  honour  of  J.  D.  Prescott, 
Esq.  of  St.  Petersburgh,  who  has  made  the  Cyperace<B  his  particular  study.

Of  this  only  one  specimen  exists  in  the  Collection.  The  flowers  are  not  sufficiently  advanced  to  enable 
us  to  decide  whether  it  be  a true  Cyperus  or  a Papyrus.

As  it  appears  doubtful  w-hether  this  is  the  same  as  the  species  discovered  by  Gaudichaud,  we  have  altered 
the  specific  character  to  what  corresponds  to  our  specimens.  The  haii’s  on  the  sheaths  of  the  leaves  spring 
from  tubercles,  and  often  fall  off  on  the  upper  part.  It  appeal's  to  be  a taU  plant.

which  ai’e  twice  the  length  of  the  capsules ; the  upper  ones  barren  and  larger,  approaching  in  shape  and 
texture  to  the  true  leaves.

This  is  assuredly  the  plant  of  Gaudichaud,  and  agrees  with  Willdenow’s  description ; but  Kaulfuss  must 
have  some  other  species  in  view  when  he  describes  the  fronds  as  on  both  sides  “ stellato-squamoscBP

Gaudichaud  has  accm’ately  described  this  species,  and  we  think  it  equally  certain  that  it  is  the  Pleopeltis 
elongata  of  Kaulfuss ; but,  in  our  specimen,  the  scales  on  the  underside  of  the  frond,  and  of  the  fructifi- 
cation, ai’e  quite  obliterated,  and  indeed  are  described  as  so  very  fugacious,  that  we  pi’efer  arranging  the  plant

(non  Sw.) — Adenophorus  pinnatifidus.  Gaud,  in  Freyc.  Voy.  p.  365. 

Caudex  crassiusculus,  brevis  ? repens  ? dense  squamosus ; squamis  imbricatis,  lanceolato-acuminatis,  reti- 
culatis,  membranaceis,  intense  fuscis,  nitidis.  Stipes  brevis,  vix  unciam  longus,  teres,  superne  fronde  decur-

This  has  assuredly  very  much  the  habit  of  the  well-known  P.  pendulum  of  the  West  Indies,  and  cannot 
genericaUy  be  separated  from  it,  without  violence  to  natui'e.  It  differs  as  a species  from  that  plant,  in  its 
much  greater  size,  in  the  dark-coloured  longer  scales  of  the  short  caudex,  in  the  claviform  glands  of  the 
stipes,  in  the  different  colour  (never  black)  of  the  stipes,  and,  above  all,  in  the  presence  of  the  peculiar 
club-shaped  glands  which  are  mixed  with  the  capsules,  and  which,  it  must  be  confessed,  are  similar  to  those 
which  in  part  characterize  the  Adenophori — a genus,  it  has  been  observed  in  the  leones  Filicum,  only  to  be 
distinguished  by  the  habit  and  peculiar  glands,  from  Polypodium.  In  both,  the  sori  are  at  the  apex  of  a 
simple  vein,  not,  that  w'e  can  find,  “ dilated  into  a receptacle."

bine  auriculatis  sessilibus  sinuato-serratis  coriaceis  glabris  venis  superne  pubescenti-scabris 
ad  marginem  attingentibus  et  in  sinubus  versus  costam  redeuntibus,  venulis  anastomosanti- 
bus  medio  soriferis,  soris  numerosissimis. 

The  only  specimen  of  this  plant  is  destitute  of  stipes,  and  presents  a frond  12-14  inches  long,  ovate. 
Ilachis  stout,  fulvous,  glossy,  grooved  on  the  upper  side.  Pinnae  4-6  inches  long,  oblong,  acuminate, 
nearly  an  inch  broad  at  the  base,  truncate,  sessile,  divided  on  the  upper  side,  tapering  upwards,  often  sub- 
falcate,  rigid,  subcoriaceous,  glabrous,  except  on  the  costa  and  nerves  above.  The  costa  sends  forth  its 
lateral  and  horizontal  nerves  opposite  the  centre  of  each  tooth ; these  extend  to  the  margin,  branch  off  there 
and  descend  in  two  opposite  divisions  to  the  sinus,  whence  they  again  enter  the  substance  of  the  fl’ond,  and 
form,  as  it  were,  a parallel  intermediate  nerve,  reaching  almost  to  the  costa,  and  connected  with  the  main 
vein  by  transverse  bars  or  veinlets,  near  the  centre  of  which  the  sori  are  produced.  A somewhat  similar 
appearance  is  observable  in  Aspidium  Pehrueilianum;  but  there  the  intermediate  nerve  seems  rather  to  be 
formed  by  the  junction  of  the  veinlets. 

8.  Polypodium  Sandwicense;  glaberrimum  clecompositum  tripinnatum,  pinnis  lanceolatis

matis  acutis  subincurvis,  soris  intra  costam  et  marginem  uniserialibus  distinctis. 

Of  this  Fern,  we  are  incompetent  to  speak  as  to  the  habit,  size,  caudex,  or  stipes.  The  two  specimens  in 
the  Herbarium  may  even  not  be  entire  fronds,  but  portions  of  a much  larger  plant.  They  are  two  feet  long, 
ovate  in  outline,  and  rather  acute,  twice  divided  in  a pinnated  manner  in  the  upper  part,  below  thrice  or 
almost  four  times  pinnated,  every  where  glabrous ; all  the  divisions  approximate,  the  primary  ones  ovate.

or  pinnules,  oblong,  obtuse,  strongly  and  closely  serrated  with  incurved  mostly  entire  teeth.  We  can  find  no 
appearance  of  an  involucre  on  the  sori. 

9.  Polypodium  unidentaium;  decompositum  laxe  tripinnatum,  pinnulis  pinnatifidis  laiiceo- 
latis  attenuatis,  laciniis  oblongis  obtusis  subfalcatis  crenatis,  sinubus  soriferis  unidentatis. 

The  specimens  in  the  Herbarium  of  this  Polypodium  hkewise  appear  to  be  hut  fragments,  separated  from  a 
much  larger  frond.  It  is  remarkable  for  the  lax  distant  divisions  and  subdivisions ; for  the  sori  being  con- 
fined to  the  sinuses  of  the  notched  segments  j and  for  those  sinuses  having  a sharp  tooth  beneath,  or  a little 
on  one  side  of  the  sinus. 

10.  Pol3^odium  crinale;  decomposite  pinnatum,  pinnis  oblongo-lanceolatis  obtusissimis 
rigidis  pinnatifidis  glabris,  laciniis  ovatis  obtusis,  marginibus  incurvis  unisoriatis,  rachibus 
costaque  subtus  paleaceo-crinitis. 

Fragments  only  of  this  very  distinct  Fern  exist  in  the  Collection,  from  which  we  may  infer  that  the  plant 
is  at  least  tripinnate;  the  pinnules  1-2  inches  long,  of  a rigid,  almost  coriaceous  texture,  pinnatifid:  each  lobe 
of  the  pinnule  bearing  a sorus  of  naked  capsules  near  its  superior  margin.  The  rachides,  general  and  partial, 
and  the  costa,  beneath,  are  almost  shaggy  with  long,  spreading,  subulate,  or  setaceous  scales.

This  is  certainly  the  plant  of  Gaudichaud,  above  referred  to ; but  in  our  specimens  the  pinnae  are  rather 
deeply  serrated  than  “ suhpinnatifid.”  It  is  equally,  perhaps,  the  A.  cyatheoides  of  Kaulfuss;  though  differ- 
ing in  being  glabrous  on  the  underside.

ceoiis  fronds.  It  is  assuredly  the  Aspidium  sinuatum  of  Gaudichaud,  but  not  of  Labillardiere,  which  has  a 
setose  stipes  and  rachis,  and  tufts  of  hairs  in  the  sinuses  of  the  margins  of  the  fronds ; and  is,  moreover,  a 
much  less  divided  plant.  The  indusia  are  very^unlike  those  of  Nephrodium  Hippocrepis,  to  which  it  has  a 
considerable  afiSnity,  and  the  colour  of  the  stipes  and  rachis  is  different;  in  the  latter  particular,  too,  it  is  at 
variance  with  the  Aspidium  apifolium  of  Schkuhr ; but  in  all  other  respects,  it  seems  entirely  to  accord 
with  that  plant,  whence  we  have  been  induced  to  adopt  that  name.

The  specimens  in  the  Herbarium  are  but  portions  of  a larger  frond,  densely  divided,  flaccid,  the  primary 
divisions  aciuninated ; the  upper  sxu-face  glabrous,  or  only  downy  on  the  secondary  rachides  and  nerves, 
while  the  stipes  and  rachides  beneath,  and  even  the  primary  nerves  or  costae,  are  densely  clothed  with 
copious,  delicate,  membranous,  reticulated,  and  fimbiiated  scales.

in  length,  and  more  or  less  deeply  inciso-pinnatifid,  according  to  their  situation  upon  the  plant.  The  veins 
are  almost  parallel  with  the  costa,  and  hence  give  a striated  appearance  to  the  pinnules.

This  plant  is  a foot  and  a half  long.  Frond  linear-oblong,  with  patent  short  primary  pinnae  of  a delicate 
membranaceous  texture.  Sori  one  or  two  on  each  lobe.

sissimis  obliquis  ssepe  geminatis. 

Neither  among  the  many  Asplenia  that  have  been  published,  nor  among  the  Diplazia,  do  we  find  any 
species  that  accords  with  this,  which,  indeed,  partakes  as  much  in  the  character  of  the  one  genus  as  of  the 
other.  The  fronds  (and  we  have  no  perfect  stipites)  are  broadly,  almost  deltoidly  ovate;  the  divisions 
rather  remote;  the  primary  ones  broadly  lanceolate,  4-6-8  inches  long;  the  secondary  ones  or  pinnules  2-3 
inches  long,  and  half  an  inch  in  breadth.  Fructifications  very  copious,  at  length  almost  confluent.

Without  the  lower  part  of  the  frond,  which  is  wanting  in  our  specimen,  it  is  difficult  to  say  if  this  be 
decidedly  the  A.  ambiguum  of  Swartz.

This  may  perhaps  prove  to  be  a species  distinct  from  D.  flaccida.  It  is  often  two  feet  or  more  in  height. 
The  fronds  are  very  flaccid ; the  pinnae  have  the  segments  (which  are  linear  and  bearing  one  sorus  in  D.  flac- 
cida') again  pinnatifid  with  two  or  three  segments,  and  bearing  two  sori.

This  is  indeed  a very  variable  plant,  yet  easily  recognised  in  its  dififerent  states  by  the  peculiar  ramifica- 
tion of  the  frond.  The  P.  geraniifolia  of  Raddi,  Fil.  Bras.  t.  67,  tolerably  correctly  represents  the  state  of

1.  Davallia  Macrceana;  fronde  pinnata,  pinnis  membranaceis  glabris  dimidiato-oblongis 
obtusis  basi  oblique  truncatis  cuneato-attenuatis  margine  superiore  crenatis  dentibus  sori- 
feris,  caudice  longe  repente. 

This  beautiful  Fern  has  been  akeady  alluded  to  by  Dr.  GreviUe  and  Dr.  Hooker,  when  describing  Da- 
vallia Boryana,  at  tab.  cxliii.  of  the  leones  Filicum.  To  that  species  ours  is  very  nearly  allied,  differing 
principally  in  its  more  rigid  frond,  and  in  the  upper  margin  of  each  pinnule,  which,  in  D.  Boryana,  is  irregu- 
larly cut  and  crenate,  with  few  sori.  Here,  the  crenation  is  very  regular,  and  each  tooth  has  its  sorus  at  a 
certain  distance  from  the  margin,  so  that  the  fructifications  form  a line. 

2.  Davallia  remota;  frondibus  tripinnatis,  pinnis  inferioribus  oppositis  remotis  superiori- 
bus  alternis  caudatis,  pinnulis  inferioribus  profunde  pinnatifidis,  mediis  laciniisque  cuneatis 
subtrifidis,  lacinulis  truncatis  subbifloris,  rachi  supra  angulata,  indusiis  subrotundis.  Kaulf. 
Enuni.  Fil.  p.  223. 

Kaulfuss  well  observes  that  the  lacinise  are  much  broader  than  those  of  D.  tenuifolia ; this  is  the  case, 
especially  if  compared  with  the  figime  in  Schkuhr,  (tab.  cxxviii.  a.,  sub  nom.  D.  venustce  ;)  but  our  specimens 
from  the  Mamitius,  under  the  name  of  D.  tenuifolia,  and,  we  presume,  the  plant  of  WiUdenow,  are  identical 
with  the  present. 

3.  Davallia  hirta;  frondibus  tripinnatis,  pinnulis  ovatis  obtusis  superiore  et  antice  sub- 
incisis,  laciniis  dentatis,  racliibus  hirtis,  indusiis  intramarginalibus  venisque  subtus  pilosis.

Voy.  p.  369.  t.  21. — Dicksonia  glauca.  Sm.  in  Rees^  Cycl. 

The  genus  Cibotium  is  thus  defined  by  Kaulfuss ; “ Sori  globosi  submarginales  contigui.  Indusia  car- 
tilaginea  globosa  fornicata  verticaliter  oris  caUosis  dehiscentia,  bivalvia,  valvula  exterior!  majori.”  To  this, 
besides  his  C.  Chamissoi,  Kaulfuss  has  referred  the  Dicksonia  antarctica ; but  to  us  the  latter  appears  to 
belong  to  the  same  author’s  genus  Balantium,  if  that  be  really  distinct  from  Cibotium.  In  Cibotium,  the 
involucre  or  indusium  is  a distinct  substance  from  the  margin  of  the  frond : in  Balantium,  the  outer  valve 
of  the  involucre  is  formed  of  the  substance  of  the  margin  of  the  frond. — Mr.  Menzies  first  detected  this  plant 
in  the  Sandwich  Islands,  in  the  year  1787,  and  we  have  long  been  in  possession  of  two  states  of  it, 
presented  to  us  by  that  liberal  Botanist : the  one  with  longer  and  narrower  pinnae,  more  deeply  cut  in  a 
pinnatifid  manner,  the  lower  segments  distinct,  forming  separate  pinnules,  aU  very  glaucous  beneath ; — the 
other  with  pinn»  not  at  all  glaucous,  and  moi’e  coriaceous  in  texture,  not  so  deeply  pinnatifid,  and  nowhere 
are  the  pinnae  again  pinnated.  Captain  Beechey’s  Collection  contains  likewise  two  states,  the  first  resem- 
bling the  glaucous  variety  of  Mr.  Menzies,  but  it  is  less  glaucous ; the  other  not  at  aU  glaucous,  larger  in  all 
its  parts,  particularly  in  the  sori,  which  are  fewer  on  each  lacinia,  and  more  confined  to  the  lower  part  of  it, 
while  the  pinna  is  pinnatifid,  with  broad,  rounded  lacinife,  which  do  not  extend  half  way  to  the  rachis.

The  following  is  the  character  of  this  genus : — Deparia,  Hook,  et  Grev.  j — Sori  subglobosi  in  dentibus

Tills  is  distinguished  by  its  dark  brown  colour,  the  lanceolate  circumscription  of  the  frond,  with  erecto- 
patent  divisions,  fringed  with  upright  hairs,  and  the  ciliated,  nearly  orbicular,  indusia. 

3.  Hymenophyllum  obtusum;  frondibus  c^spitosis  oblongis  obtusissimis  tripinnatifidis,

obsitis,  stipite  gracillimo  hirto,  indusiis  (in  laciniis  supremis)  terminalibus  orbicularibus 
pilis  ramosis  dense  ciliatis. 

This  may  be  known  from  H.  hirmtum  by  the  longer  branched  or  stellated  hairs,  which  are  confined 
wholly  to  the  midrib  and  margin.  The  ultimate  lacinise  are  somewhat  corymbose,  generally  reaching  to  the 
same  height,  so  as  to  give  almost  a truncated  appearance  to  the  outline  of  the  frond.

centibus.  Petala  calycem  sequantia,  oblongo-ovata,  extus  pubescentia,  mai’ginibus  revolutis,  apice  bifida,

This  agrees  in  every  respect  with  the  genus  Elceocarpus,  except  that  the  petals  are  bifid,  not  trifid  and 
lacerated ; nor  are  the  anthers  setigerous.  Indeed,  the  bifid  petals  might  seem  at  first  to  remove  it  from 
this  Order,  with  which,  however,  it  otherwise  entirely  accords.

loculare:  ovula  sohtaria.  Stylus  0.  Stigma  sessile,  planum,  centro  depressiun,  12-16-radiatum. 

This  species  differs  from  Ilex,  and  from  all  the  other  genera  of  the  groupe,  by  the  cells  of  the  gennen  and 
rays  of  the  stigma  being  twice  as  numerous  as  the  segments  of  the  calyx  and  coroUa.  We  have  not  seen 
the  mature  fruit,  but,  judging  from  the  specimens  before  us,  suppose  it  a berry.  The  stigma  is  very  remark- 
able, and  only  to  be  compared  with  that  of  the  genus  Papaver.

thinner,  with  the  nerves  not  impressed ; on  both  sides,  especially  at  the  margins,  they  are  sericeo-pilose

A strange  confusion  has  existed  respecting-  this  plant,  which,  nevertheless,  is  well  described  by  Linnaeus, 
from  Gmelin’s  specimens,  collected  in  Eastern  Siberia.  Sternberg  has  correctly  figured  small  individuals 
in  the  plates  above  quoted,  but  under  the  name  of  S.  gracilis,  and  likewise  as  the  true  (S',  punctata.  Mr. 
Don  has  referred  Linnaeus’s  plant  to  S.  umbrosa,  from  which  it  is  widely  different,  while  Gmehn’s  figure, 
and  the  plant  of  Sternberg,  he  has  quoted  under  S.  Geum.

gathered  likewise  in  Kamtschatka,  appears  to  be  distinct  from  S.  bronchialis;  but  we  possess,  from  Mr. 
Menzies,  found  in  Behring’s  Strait,  specimens  exactly  intermediate.  It  has  much  the  habit  of  S.  Chamissoi, 
but  the  leaves  in  that  are  tridentate.

The  figiu’e  of  Gmelin,  above  quoted,  sufficiently  accords  in  foliage  with  our  plant ; but  his  description 
scarcely  suffices  to  enable  us  to  say  that  the  two  are  identical,  and  no  other  author  appears  acquainted  with 
it:  the  stems  and  branches  are  erect,  glabrous,  dark  brown.  The  leaves  are  about  an  inch  long,  truly  obovate 
and  remarkably  attenuated  at  the  base  into  a short  petiole,  scarcely  at  all  toothed  at  the  margin,  mostly  quite 
entire,  and  very  glossy  above,  reticulated  with  prominent  veins,  opaque  and  glaucous  beneath.  Catkins 
longer  than  the  leaves,  peduncled,  with  lax,  patent  germens,  whose  scales  are  woolly,  not  longer  than  the 
pedicels.  Style  short,  and,  as  it  were,  set  upon  the  obtuse  germen,  which  does  not  gradually  taper  into  it. 
In  many  respects,  the  Salix  pumila,  ^c.  of  Gmel,  FI.  Sib.  p.  160.  t.  33.  f.  2,  agrees  with  this,  especially  in 
what  he  says  of  the  catkins,  and  the  glossiness  and  reticulation  of  the  leaves.

for  this  plant ; though  no  author  appears  to  have  noticed  it.

Of  this,  the  leaves  are  slender,  entirely  radical,  almost  smooth,  even  at  the  margins,  as  is  the  slender, 
rounded,  or  obtusely  angular  stem.  The  male  spike  is  terminal,  on  a long  peduncle,  which  arises  fi-om  the 
same  sheath  as  the  female  spike.  Each  is  constantly  solitary.  Bractese  of  the  female  spike  reddish-brown, 
with  a broad  pale-green  nerve  ,•  those  of  the  male  all  red-brown.

This  exactly  agrees  with  the  S.  purgans  of  Dr.  Richardson,  which,  however,  has  the  leaves  hairy,  as 
well  as  the  florets  and  sheaths.  In  regard  to  the  degree  of  hairiness,  this  species  is  probably  liable  to  mucli 
valuation ; and  the  B.  puhescens  of  Muhl.,  the  B.  Canadensis  of  Mich.,  and  the  B.  ciliatus  of  Linn.,  may 
perhaps  be  only  different  states  of  one  and  the  same  species.

There  are,  in  the  Herbarium,  some  remarkable  states  of  this  plant,  6-8  inches  high,  branched  upwards,  and 
each  branch  bearing  a lai'ge  flower,  no  bulbs.  This  is  perhaps  the  most  perfect  form : and  the  very  oppo-

This  species  seems  to  vary  considerably  in  the  breadth  and  pubescence  of  its  leaves.  Our  var.  has  the

It  is  very  strange  if  this  fine  Saxifrage  should  have  escaped  the  notice  of  Chamisso : yet  we  do  not  find

lanuginosa;  racemis  dense  lanuginosis,  floribus  duplo  majoribus,  foliis  superioribus  lat- 
ioribus. 

Besides  the  true  A.  borealis,  we  have  the  variety  just  noticed,  which  has  a stouter  habit,  much  broader 
cauline  leaves,  and  a dense  woolly  raceme  (peduncle,  pedicels,  and  involucres);  the  tomentum  of  a yellowish 
hue,  and  flowers  more  than  twice  as  large — as  large  indeed  as  those  of  A.  arctica,  from  which  it  differs  remark- 
ably in  its  foliage  and  tomentum.  It  will  probably,  on  a future  examination  and  comparison  with  other 
species,  prove  to  be  distinct. 

2.  Artemisia  arctica;  erecta  glabra  vel  hirsuta,  foliis  bipinnatifidis  laciniis  (racbique) 
linearibus  acutis  idtimis  brevibus,  superioribus  pinnatifidis,  racemo  elongato,  pedicellis 
elongatis  bractea  lineari  integra  longioribus,  floribus  majusculis  nutantibus  secundis,  recep- 
taculo  nudo. — Lessing,  in  Linncea,  v.  6.  p.  213. 

This  is  assuredly  subject  to  much  variation,  and  is  nearly  allied  to  A.  Norvegica,  which  has  the  flowers 
of  the  present  species,  with  the  leaves  of  A.  borealis.  Of  this,  our  tallest  specimens  (one  foot  high)  are 
glabrous,  with  the  segments  of  the  leaves  very  sharply  acuminated ; the  pedicels  an  inch  long.  A second 
state  of  the  plant  is  very  downy,  almost  woolly ; it  has  stouter  stems,  less  divided  leaves,  and  pedicels  two 
inches  long.  A third  is  only  four  or  five  inches  taU,  with  the  pedicels  so  long,  especially  the  lower  ones, 
(.3-4  inches),  that  they  form  a corymbus. 

3.  Artemisia  glomerata  ; densissime  csespitosa  ubique  sericeo-villosissima,  ramis  brevibus 
arete  foliatis,  foliis  brevibus  3-5-fido-palmatis  laciniis  lanceolatis  brevi-acuminatis  inferiori- 
bus  sessilibus  caulinis  late  petiolatis,  floribus  capitatis,  receptaculo  nudo. — Lessing,  in 
Linncea,  v.  6.  p.  212. 

We  can  hardly  thinli  but  that  this  is  the  of  Lessing,  although  the  leaves  of  his  plant  are

and  Messrs.  Lay  and  Colhe  in  Kotzebue’s  Sound.  Dr.  Richardson  describes  the  scape  and  bracteas  as  reddish, 
and  the  sepals  as  marked  with  a red  line  down  the  back,  or  ndiolly  dull  red ; whence  the  specific  name. 
That  Author,  too,  well  obseiwes,  “ Herba  elegantia  T.  borealis  tota  carens.”  The  leaves  are  more  flaccid,  and 
of  a duller  coloim,  and  the  flowers  are  almost  entirely  sessile ; thus  bringing  the  involucrum  close  to  the 
flower,  which,  in  T.  borealis,  is  separated  by  the  length  of  the  pedicel.

uscula;  foliolis  minoribus  siccitate  subseruginoso-viridibus. 

The  plant  in  this  Collection  differs  firom  the  more  northern  H.  decumbens  of  Mr.  Douglas,  in  the  smaller 
size  of  the  leaflets  and  flowers,  in  the  less  degree  of  pubescence,  and,  when  dry,  in  its  becoming  of  an  almost 
aeruginose  green  colour.  In  other  respects,  the  two  species  accord. 

3.  Hosackia  tomentosa;  tota  incano-tomentosa,  foliolis  5 obovatis  acutis,  floribus  umbel- 
latis sessilibus,  bractea  folium  simulante. 

This  will  assuredly  rank  next  to  H.  decumbens,  from  which  it  differs  almost  solely  in  the  very  dense 
covering  of  white  hairs.  Only  one  specimen  exists  in  the  Collection,  and  that  has  young  fruit,  and  no 
flowers.  The  legumes  are  short,  in  proportion  to  the  length  of  the  style.  The  stigma  is  not  capitate,  but 
simply  obtuse,  as  in  Lotus  subbipinnatus  of  Lagasca,  and  of  this  work,  p.  1 7.  t.  8 ; which,  Mr.  Bentham  is  decid- 
edly of  opinion,  should  be  referred  to  Hosackia.

p.  185. — Lotus  sericeus.  Pursh,  FI.  Am.  v.  2.  p.  489. 

This  exactly  agrees  with  our  original  specimen  of  Trigonella  Americana,vecQ\\eA  from  Mr.  Nuttall,  except 
that  the  leaflets  are  rather  shorter  in  proportion  to  their  breadth.  There  is,  however,  nothing  silky  about  the 
plant  in  its  dried  state,  as  Puj’sh’s  name  would  seem  to  imply : it  is  clothed  with  soft  and  short  patent  hairs, 
which  give  no  glossiness  to  the  stems  or  foliage,  and  which  are  best  seen  when  the  plant  is  held  up  between 
the  eye  and  the  light.  In  the  greater  number  of  its  leaflets,  this  species  differs  from  H.  unifoliolata,  «.,  and 
in  the  larger  flowers  and  seed-vessels.

maximo  inflate  glabriusculo  reticulato. — 5m.  in  Rees'  Cycl. — De  Cand.  Prodr.  v.  2.  p.  274. 

The  legumes  of  this  very  fine  species  of  Phaca,  which  was  first  found  by  Mr.  Menzies  in  California,  are 
remarkably  large,  infliited  and  membranaceous;  in  these  respects,  exactly  resembling  those  of  Phaca  infiata, 
of  Dr.  Gillies  (in  Bot.  Misc.  ined.),  from  Uspallata  in  South  America.  The  habit  of  the  two  species  is  like- 
wise very  similar ; but,  in  Dr.  Gillies’,  the  whole  plant  is  glabrous,  and  the  flowers  are  much  smaller.

This  appears  to  be  a very  variable  plant,  and  the  specimens  in  the  Collection  have  the  leaflets  smaller 
and  naiTower  than  is  the  case  with  the  plant  figured  in  the  Bot.  Mag. ; but  not  more  so  than  in  some  speci- 
mens from  the  Columbia,  gathered  by  Mr.  Douglas.

We  cannot  be  mistaken  in  this  plant,  although  only  a single  leaf  exists  in  the  Collection. 

2.  Lupinus  macrocarpus;  suffi’uticosus,  foliosus,  foliis  subbrevi-petiolatis  septenis,  foliolis 
lanceolatis  obtusissimis  inferne  attenuatis  supra  glabris  subtus  appresso-pubescenti-sericeis,

appresso-sericeis,  leguminibus  lineari-oblongis  tumidis  hirsutis  8-10-spermis. 

Found  by  Mr.  Menzies  during  the  voyage  with  Captain  Vancouver,  and  probably  common  about  San 
Francisco ; yet  it  does  not  correspond  with  any  described  species,  nor  with  any  found  by  Mr.  Douglas.  The 
lower  part  of  the  stem  is  decidedly  shrubby,  the  leaves  and  legumes  large  in  proportion  to  the  size  of  the 
plant,  apparently  yeUow  when  recent.  Perhaps,  in  habit,  its  nearest  affinity  is  with  L.  littoralis.  Dough,  but 
the  leaves  are,  in  that  plant,  sillty  on  both  sides,  the  flowers  are  differently  coloured,  and  the  legumes  are  not 
half  the  size. 

3.  Lupinus  sericeus;  fruticosus,  ubique  pulcherrime  appresso-sericeus  aureo  nitens,  caule 
valde  folioso,  foliis  breviter  petiolatis  septenis,  foliolis  lanceolatis  acutis  inferne  attenuatis.

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

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

Cham,  et  Schlecht.  in  Linnesa,  v.  2.  p.  11? 

This  is  a more  luxuriant  plant  than  Mr.  Menzies’  specimens,  but  in  every  other  respect  the  same.  In 
many  points,  it  agrees  with  the  Jl.  ursinus  of  Chamisso  and  Schlechtendal ; but  in  that,  the  leaves  appear 
to  be  frequently  simple,  and  those  authors  compare  it  with  R.  Idaus. 

3.  Rubus  velutinus;  inermis,  caule  fruticoso  erecto  flexuoso  pubescente  basi  nudo,  foliis

paucifloris,  calycibus  velutinis  laciniis  obtusis  corolla  (alba)  brevioribus  longe  cuspidatis. 

This  is  abundantly  distinct,  both  from  R.  odoratus  and  R.  Nutkanus,  and,  as  far  as  can  be  judged  from 
the  description,  equally  so  from  the  A.  vitifolius  of  Cham,  et  Schlecht.,  which,  however,  like  the  present, 
is  a native  of  San  Francisco : all  belong  to  the  simple  and  lobed  fruticose  species  of  the  Genus.  The 
underside  of  the  leaves  is  pale  and  velvety,  and  beautifully  relieved  by  the’ reticulations.

2.  Fragaria  Californica.  Cham,  et  Schlecht.  in  Linncea,  v.  2.  p.  20. 

Specimens,  quite  according  with  the  description  in  the  Linnsea,  are  in  the  Collection ; but  in  a very 
imperfect  state.  Perhaps  the  var.  /3.  of  the  F.  Chilensis,  noticed  in  Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am.,  should  be  referred 
to  it : but  here,  the  peduncle  is  single-flowered,  and  very  short. 


Rosa  ; — Of  this  genus,  three  species  are  in  the  Collection : one  with  double  flowers,  and  probably  the 
inhabitant  of  a garden.  The  others  are  too  imperfect  to  be  satisfactorily  detennined,  having  no  perfect  flower 
nor  fruit.  Neither  of  them,  however,  accords  with  the  R.  Californica  of  Schlechtendal,  and  must  be  different 
from  it,  unless  we  make  great  allowance  for  the  sportive  natm’e  of  the  species  of  this  most  difficult  genus.

First  discovered,  along  with  the  following  species,  by  Mr.  Menzies.  The  general  similarity  of  the  plant 
to  Arctopus  capensis  has  suggested  the  specific  name.  There  are  scarcely  any  stems,  and  the  umbels  are 
nearly  concealed  among  the  leaves,  which  are  almost  fringed  with  long  naiTow  and  much  acuminated  teeth, 
the  larger  ones  of  which  are  likewise  so  fimbriated.

Evidently  allied  to  the  S.  arctopoides ; but  having  a stem  nearly  a span  high,  with  compound  umbels, 
the  umbellules  globose,  flowers  small,  yellow.

There  are  no  leaves,  and  only  the  extremity  of  a stem  of  a solitary  specimen,  so  that  we  are  unable

This  has  a good  deal  the  habit  of  the  Helosciadium,  repens  of  Europe,  but  is  vastly  larger,  with  more 
numerous  and  more  divided  pinnae.  It  appears  likewise  to  depart  from  the  generic  character,  in  having 
several  leaves  to  the  involucre,  and  a long  style.  The  fruit  is  essentially  the  same  in  both. 


The  Herbarium  contains  two  other  Umbelliferous  plants,  from  California,  but  with  fruit  so  young,  that  we 
cannot  refer  them  to  any  known  genus.  Both  have  their  leaves  many  times  divided  into  very  narrow,  linear, 
almost  filiform  segments,  and  the  vagina  of  the  leaf  is  singularly  large  and  inflated.  The  one  is  nearly 
stemless,  very  pubescent,  almost  woolly  about  the  umbels  and  involucres.  The  involucella  are  about  as  long 
as  the  umbellules,  broadly  lanceolate,  and  apparently  entire : the  very  short  stems  (many  arising  from  the 
crown  of  the  root)  bear  each  a peduncle  about  as  long  as  the  leaves.  The  other  has  a flaccid,  apparently 
procumbent  stem,  with  remote  leaves,  and  is  nearly  glabrous.  There  are  no  involucres,  and  the  involucella 
are  lobed  in  a somewhat  palmated  manner,  with  the  lobes  acute,  and  about  as  long  as  the  small  compact 
umbellula.

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

We  have  kept  this  distinct  from  the  L.  involucrata  of  the  Banksian  Herbarium,  Xylosteum  involucraturn 
of  Dr.  Richardson,  with  considerable  hesitation.  That  our  plant  is  the  same  with  L.  Ledehourii  of 
Eschscholtz  and  Chamisso,  there  can  be  no  question,  for  it  exactly  agrees  with  authentic  specimens  now 
before  us.  These  differ  from  Dr.  Scouler’s  and  Mr.  Douglas’  L.  involucrata,  from  the  mouth  of  the 
Columbia  and  Puget’s  Sound,  (which  is  assiwedly  the  same  as  that  of  Sir  J.  Banks,  gathered  on  the  same 
coast,  between  lat.  56°  and  64°  North,)  solely  in  their  more  elongated  and  straighter  branches,  their  greater 
degree  of  pubescence,  and  the  more  rigid  and  wrinkled  leaves,  usually  oblong  rather  than  ovate.  Dr.  Rich- 
ardson’s plant,  and  specimens  gathered  by  Mr.  Drummond  in  the  Rocky  Mountains,  between  lat.  42°  and  46°, 
are  in  eveiy  respect  similar  to  those,  of  Dr.  Scouler  and  Mr.  Douglas,  only  that  the  leaves  are  still  less 
pubescent,  and  more  membranaceous  and  flaccid:  and  the  L.  involucrata  of  Bot.  Reg.  t.  1179,  is  equally 
characteristic  of  both  these.  In  our  plant,  and  probably  in  the  L.  involucrata  also,  the  two  inner  bractese 
are  hardly  visible  till  the  fruit  advances  to  maturity,  when  they  become  remarkably  large  and  enclose  the 
fruit.

[ VacciniecB. 


We  refer  a very  indifferent  and  solitary  specimen  of  a supposed  Arbutus  to  the  A.  Menziesii  of  Pursh, 
although  we  only  know  his  plant  from  the  short  character  above  quoted.  Ours  is  a branch,  7-8  inches 
long,  waved,  and  as  thick  as  a swan’s  quill,  with  excessively  hard  wood,  and  having  a glabrous,  slightly 
wrinkled,  ferruginous  surface,  from  which,  however,  it  appears  that  a coarse  bark  has  peeled  or  scaled  off. 
The  petioles  are  an  inch  or  more  long ; the  leaves  3-4  inches  long,  oval  or  elliptic,  obtuse  at  the  base  and  the 
extremity,  coriaceous,  almost  black  (in  the  dry  state,)  quite  entire,  glabrous,  pale,  and  apparently  glaucous 
beneath,  with  innumerable  reticulated,  and  slightly  prominent,  rather  dark-coloured  veins.  The  racemes  are 
in  fruit,  and  in  that  state  the  bark  has  in  a great  measure  peeled  off.  Berries  about  the  size  of  peas,  black,  the 
integument  areolated,  or  cracked  into  a number  of  small  scales.  Seeds  many. — Mr.  Collie  had  named  the 
specimen  “ Arbor  ferrugineaf  from  which  it  may  he  inferred  that  the  stems  and  branches,  and  probably  the 
leaves  below,  are  of  a rusty  colour.  We  regret  much  that  we  can  give  no  better  account  of  this  fine  arbor- 
escent Arbutus. 

2.  Arbutus  tomentosa;  fruticosa,  ramis  angulatis  foliisque  cordatis  pungenti-acutis  cori- 
aceis  pubescentibus  vel  glabris,  petiolis  brevibus,  racemis  subcapitatis  terminalibus  bracteatis, 
bracteis  inferioribus  longitudine  fere  florum,  corollis  urceolatis,  calycibus  glabris  ciliatis 
obtusis.  Pursh,  FL  Am.  v.  1.  p.  282. 

Of  this  we  have  several  varieties,  differing,  however,  almost  solely  in  the  pubescence. — Var.  se.,  the 
original  plant  from  Mr.  Menzies,  and  from  which  Mr.  Pimsh  drew  up  his  character,  has  the  whole  specimen, 
except  the  flowers,  very  downy,  especially  on  the  underside  of  the  upper  leaves  and  young  branches ; and 
these  latter,  and  the  petioles,  and  lower  part  of  the  costa  beneath,  have  numerous  long  rigid  hairs  mixed 
with  the  pubescence,  so  as  to  give  the  plant  a remarkably  hispid  appearance.  This  is  from  the  Columbia. — 
Var./3.  is  destitute  of  long  rigid  hairs ; but  has  the  pubescence  on  the  young  stems  and  young  leaves  still  copious, 
as  is  the  case  with  some  of  Mr.  Menzies’  specimens,  which  have  no  more  particular  locality  than  North-West 
Coast  of  America,  and  with  some  in  Captain  Beechey’s  Herbarium. — Var.  /3.,  with  the  branches  slightly  pubes- 
cent, and  the  leaves  almost  entirely  so,  except  the  petioles  and  the  base  of  the  costa  beneath  j and  var.  4,  with 
the  stems  and  leaves  perfectly  glabrous : both  these  we  have  from  San  Francisco,  in  California ; the  former 
is  in  the  present  Collection,  and  the  latter  we  received  from  Dr.  Fischer,  marked  “ Arbutus  Menziesii?'' — 
In  all,  the  foliage,  in  a dry  state,  is  of  a singularly  pale  green  colour,  remarkably  coriaceous,  and  marked 
with  copious  but  minute  reticulations. 

3.  Arbutus  pungens ; fruticosa,  ramis  prostratis  subpubescentibus,  foliis  petiolatis  per- 
ennantibus  ovalibus  obovatisve  coriaceis  nitidis  minute  reticulatis  pungenti-mucronatis  gla- 
briusculis  tenui-marginatis  subintegerrimis,  racemis  terminalibus  brevibus,  floribus  bracteatis. 

Habit  of  Arbutus  Uva  Ursi,  and  with  leaves  of  the  same  size,  but  sufficiently  distinct,  being  broader,  upon 
longer  petioles,  often  quite  obtuse,  or  even  retuse  at  the  base,  downy  with  a whitish  pubescence  except  the 
oldest,  more  or  less  sei-rated,  and  always  terminated  by  a very  sharp  pungent  point.  Flowers  small,  ur- 
ceolate.

1.  Vaccinium  ovatum;  erectum,  valde  ramosum,  i-amis  pubescenti-hirsutis,  foliis  peren-

birsutis,  racemis  axillaribus  terminalibusque  brevibus,  floribus  cylindraceo-campanulatis 
bracteatis,  calycibus  acutis. 

This,  in  its  foliage,  almost  exactly  resembles  the  Arbutus  mucronata  of  the  Straits  of  Magellan,  but  the 
flowers  are  racemose,  and  truly  those  of  a Vaccinium.  It  was  fu’st  detected  by  Mr.  Menzies,  and  after- 
M’ards,  according  to  Mr.  Pursh,  found  by  M.  Lewis  on  the  Columbia.

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

Involucre  of  4 or  5 oblong,  obtuse,  striated  and  whitish  leaflets,  furnished  at  the  base  with  about  as  many 
short  scales,  similar  to  the  involucre.  Flowers  very  few  in  each  capitulum.  Achenia  linear,  glabrous, 
with  about  five  angles,  formed  by  as  many  prominent  nerves.  Pappus  capillary,  scabrous  at  the  base,  at  the 
apex  incrassated  and  slightly  plumose.  A detached  leaf,  probably  not  belonging  to  the  specimen,  accom- 
panied it  in  the  Collection.

leaves  not  above  half-an-inch  long  and  half-a-line  wide,  disposed  copiously  along  the  branches,  and  some- 
what erect.  The  whole  plant  is  slender  and  small,  scarcely  exceeding  eight  or  nine  inches,  so  that  probably 
this  variety  is  caused  by  growing  in  a dry  and  poor  soil.  In  habit  it  is  very  different  from  the  common 
variety.

The  specimens  in  the  Collection  vary,  with  the  leaves  oblongo-lanceolate  and  slightly  acuminated,  with 
the  stem  and  leaves  nearly  glabrous,  and  with  the  racemes  so  contracted  as  to  lose  the  secund  and  recurved 
appearance  described  above.  We,  however,  possess  intermediate  forms.  The  leaves  are  always  more  or 
less  conspicuously  three-nerved,  with  a few  distant  narrow  deep  serratures,  or  teeth,  which  point  upwards.

The  ray,  judging  from  the  dried  specimen,  appears  to  be  of  a reddish  colour.  Mr.  Menzies  detected  this 
plant  in  California,  during  the  voyage  of  Captain  Vancouver. 

2.  Aster  spectahilis ; radice  bienni?  caule  ramoso  inferne  glabro  ad  medium  linea  duplici

— Ait.  ? — Spreng.  Syst.  v.  3.  p.  538  ? 

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

The  only  species  to  which  this  approaches  is  Aster  sericetcs,  Vent.;  but  whether,  like  it,  the  stems  are 
shrubby,  the  specimen  before  us  can  scarcely  permit  us  to  say : we  think  they  are.  The  floccose  tomentum 
on  the  stem  and  branches  is  easily  rubbed  off.  Upper  leaves  entire;  lower  ones  probably  furnished  with  a 
few  sharp  serratures  near  their  apex,  at  least  one  or  two  of  the  lower  ones  on  the  specimen  in  the  Collection 
are  so.  Florets  of  the  ray  emarginate,  and  neuter.  Stigmas  of  the  disc  exserted,  furnished  about  their

We  retain  the  genus  Aplopappus  of  Cassini,  for  those  species  of  Lessing’s  extended  Diplopappus  which 
have  the  exterior  row  of  the  pappus  similar  to,  and  frequently  as  long  as,  the  inner  series.  To  this,  probably,

Nearly  allied  to  Baccharis  mucronata  of  this  work,  (p.  30,)  which,  from  an  examination  of  better 
materials,  we  have  now  ascertained  to  belong'  to  the  present  genus,  along  with  many  other  Chilian  supposed 
species  of  Baccharis.

The  only  specimen  in  the  Collection  agrees  with  Nuttall’s  specific  character.  Diplostephium  of  Kunth, 
and  Chrysopsis  of  Nuttall,  are  synonymous  with  Diplopappus  of  Cassini. 

1.  Grindelia  squarrosa;  glaberrima,  caule  berbaceo,  ramis  breviusculis  corymbosis,  foliis

jS.  Folia  subintegerrima  carnosula  opaca. 

Although  we  do  not  consider  these  two  varieties  as  distinct  species,  yet  it  must  be  confessed  their 
aspect  is  very  different.  Our  second  variety  has  quite  that  peculiar  appearance  which  many  plants  assume 
which  grow  on  the  sea-shore ; but  we  are  ignorant  if  this  be  its  true  locality.  Most  authors  unite  this 
species  with  G.  inuloides,  Willd.;  and  if  they  be  correct,  then  the  following  species  stands  in  a similar 
situation,  for  it  is  in  many  points  intermediate  between  the  two  others. 

2.  Grindelia  hirsutula;  pilis  albidis  birsutula,  caule  coespitoso  berbaceo  parce  ramoso,

Very  closely  allied  to  G.  angustifolia,  Kunth,  (not  Dunal,)  but  that  species  appears  to  have  always  a 
simple  stem.  This  differs  from  the  preceding,  by  the  hairs  that  are  found  on  its  stem,  leaves,  and  involucre, 
and  by  the  long  one-flowered  branches. 

3.  Grindelia  humilis;  glabra,  caule  berbaceo  simplici  unifloro,  foliis  radicalibus  linearibus 
obtusis  basi  attenuatis  caulinis  sessilibus  inferioribus  angustissime  linearibus  superioribus 
subulatis  bracteiformibus,  involucri  foliolis  lineari-lanceolatis  apice  squarrosis. 

The  only  specimen  in  the  Collection  is  about  eight  inches  high,  and  is  very  unlike  any  of  the  other  species. 
The  cauline  leaves  decrease  gradually  upwards,  resembling  subulate  bracteae.  On  this  plant  Messrs.  Lay 
and  Collie  remark: — “ folia  recentia  lineari-spathulata,  antiquiora  objonga  basi  dilatata  spinuloso-dentata;” 
the  latter  kind  of  leaves  we  have  not  seen. 

1.  Baccharis  glutinosa;  fruticosa,  foliis  anguste  lanceolatis  basi  in  petiolum  attenuatis 
argute  remote  serratis  3-plinerviis  subtus  excavato-punctatis,  corymbis  terminalibus,  involu- 
cri foliolis  margine  laceris,  aclienio  scabro. — Pers. — Molina  salicifolia.  Ruiz  et  Pav. 
Syst.  p.  210  ? 

Perhaps  B.  salicifolia,  Pers.,  is  not  distinct,  but  then  Sprengel  unites  to  it  B.  gnidiifolia,  Kunth,  of  which 
plant  the  leaves  are  described  as  sessile,  and  not  attenuated  into  a kind  of  petiole  at  their  base,  as  in  ours. 
Chamisso  does  not  appear  to  have  met  with  this  species ; but  Lessing  (Linnsea,  v.  6.  p.  505,)  mentions 
having  found  B.  linearis,  which  is  surely  distinct,  otherwise  we  might  have  supposed  that  Lessing  and  we 
had  the  same  plant  in  view.  We  can  perceive  only  one  series  of  hairs  of  the  pappus.

There  are  two  very  distinct  states  of  this  plant,  which  we  had  almost  supposed  to  be  different  species; 
but  Lessing-,  whose  authority  is  doubtless  high,  as  he  appears  to  have  seen  numerous  specimens, 
describes  both  without  distinguishing  them  even  as  varieties.  In  one,  the  heads  of  flowers  are  collected 
usually  by  threes,  into  short  compact  spikes  or  racemes,  which  are  almost  invariably  axillary.  In  the  other, 
the  inflorescence  is  more  lax,  and  the  heads  of  flowers  are  constantly  solitary  and  terminal.  Neither  in  the 
involucre,  achenium,  pappus,  nor  leaves,  is  there  any  difference.  It  was  found  also  by  Mr.  Menzies,  on  the 
coast  of  California.

The  fruit  of  this  species  is  larger  than  that  of  X.  strumarium,  and  the  two  beaks  to  it  are  slightly  incurved 
at  the  apex,  while  in  X.  strumarium  they  are  nearly  straight.  Whether  these  be  sufficiently  good  characters, 
we  are  inclined  to  doubt,  but  have  not  been  able  to  discover  any  others.  We  presume  it  is  the  X.  stru- 
mariuni  of  Pursh,  Nuttall,  Elliott,  and  other  North-American  Botanists,  and  indeed  we  have  seen  no  other 
from  North  America.

The  solitary  and  most  imperfect  specimen  of  this  plant  in  the  Collection,  we  have  compared  with  one  re- 
ceived from  Chamisso.  The  leaves  seem  very  variable.

mentis brevibus,  obtusis,  patentibus,  superiora  integra  omnia  hispide  pilosa.  Involucrum  hemisphajricum, 
simplex,  polyphyllum : foliola  oblonga,  acuta,  basin  florum  radii  eorumque  achenia  involventia.  Corolla 
radii  lutea?,  basi  attenuatie,  apice  explanatm,  planie,  trifidue,  stylum  absque  staminibus  gerentes;  disci 
tubulosse,  lutese.  Paha  lineari-oblongse,  submembranacea?,  pluriseriales,  inter  radii  discique  flores  inteijectae, 
receptaculo  piano  alioquin  nudo.  Antliera  purpurascentes,  ecaudatse.  Styli  rami  recurvati,  appendiculis 
linearibus  puberulis  superati.  Achenia  (juniora)  oblonga,  erostrata,  basi  attenuata;  radii  glabra,  apice  calva; 
disci  pilosa ; pappo  persistente  rigido  basi  plumoso  apice  simplici. 

If  this  were  to  form  a new  genus,  we  would  propose  the  name  of  Layia,  after  one  of  the  discoverers; 
and  this  would  principally  differ  from  Tridax  or  Balbisia,  by  the  shape  of  the  involucre,  its  consisting  of 
numerous  leaves,  which  are  opposite  to,  and  are  respectively  wrapt  round,  the  achenia  and  tube  of  the  corolla

of  the  radical  florets;  by  the  marginal  achenia  without  pappus,  and  by  the  imperfect  manner  in  which  the 
receptacle  is  provided  with  scales;  Indeed  it  is  difficult  to  say  if  these  in  the  present  case  ought  not  to  be 
viewed  as  an  inner  series  of  involucral  leaves,  to  which  some  of  them  bear  a close  resemblance  in  colour  and 
texture.  In  Tridax  procumbens,  the  leaves  of  the  involucre  do  not  surround  the  achenia,  and  the  marginal 
achenia  have  a pappus  precisely  the  same  as  those  of  the  disc,  and  similar  to  what  we  have  above  described 
in  our  plant.  Only  one  specimen,  and  that  far  from  a good  one,  exists  in  the  Collection:  the  inflorescence 
so  resembles  a Galardia,  that  had  we  not  examined  it  minutely,  we  should  have  placed  it  in  that  genus. 

1.  Helianthus  longifolius;  herbaceus,  foliis  alternis  oblongo-lanceolatis  basi  in  petioluni 
planum  longe  attenuatis  integerrimis  flaccidis  penninerviis  ntrinque  glabris  margine  ciliato- 
scabris,  involucri  foliolis  subaequalibus  discuin  superantibus  spathulato-oblongis  appressis 
margine  hispido-ciliatis,  pappi  aristis  solitariis  vel  binis  inaequalibus  validis. — Hook.  FI.  Bor. 
Am.  V.  1.  p.  313. 

This  appears  to  be  a true  species  of  the  genus,  but  the  leaves  are  more  like  those  of  a RudbecMa:  these, 
particularly  the  lower  ones,  are  about  five  inches  long,  and  much  attenuated  at  the  base  into  a flat  petiole, 
which  is  about  three  inches  in  length.  In  the  upper  ones  the  limb  is  longer,  while  the  petiole  is  shorter. 
In  Mr.  Douglas’s  specimen  from  the  Columbia,  the  leaves  are  decidedly  glutinous,  as  if  varnished. 

1.  Bahia  artemisioefolia  ; foliis  alternis  sessilibns  profimde  pinnatifidis  subtus  niveo-tomen- 
tosis  margine  revolutis,  capitidis  fasciculatis,  involucris  9-pbyllis  1-serialibus  cylindraceis, 
floribus  radii  lingulatis. — Lessing  in  Linnma,  v.  5.  p.  160,  et  v.  6.  p.  253, 

The  above  character  applies  to  the  usual  state  of  the  plant;  but  sometimes  the  leaves  are  either  quite 
entire,  or  they  present  one,  or  at  most  two,  short  lobes  or  segments  at  the  side,  about  the  middle.  We  much 
suspect  that  in  this  state  it  may  become  the  Eriophyllum  stachadi folium  of  Lagasca.  All  the  florets  are 
fertile:  those  of  the  ray  are  without  stamens,  and  usually  about  six  in  number.  Leaves  of  the  involucre  at 
first  tomentose,  but  afterwards  becoming  often  quite  glabrous.  Achenia  with  four 'or  five  angles,  or  pro- 
jecting ridges,  somewhat  hispid.  Scales  of  the  pappus  eight  or  ten,  unequal,  linear,  obtuse  and  striated, 
about  one-fourth  of  the  length  of  the  achenium.  Between  Eriophyllum  of  Lagasca,  to  n hich  Mr.  Liudley 
has  united  Trichophyllum  of  Nuttall,  and  Bahia,  there  appears  to  be  almost  no  difference:  indeed,  the  only 
character  pointed  out  by  Lessing  consists  in  the  palese  of  the  pappus  being  unequal,  linear,  and  truncated  in 
Bahia,  and  equal,  obtuse,  and  narrowest  at  the  base  in  the  other  genus.  In  the  present  individual,  the 
palese  are  not,  as  Lessing  says,  truncate,  but  rounded  at  the  apex ; while,  on  the  other  hand,  those  of  Tricho- 
phyllum appear  sometimes  truncated  and  lacerated.  Nor  does  their  attenuation  below,  or  their  equality, 
prove  a good  character,  since  in  our  specimens  of  what  we  consider  Bahia  ambrosioides,  from  Chili,  (the  only 
species  we  have  received  from  that  country,  and  which  consequently  is  the  type  of  Lagasca’s  genus  Bahia,) 
the  palese  are  short,  equal,  obtuse,  not  truncate,  and  narrower  at  their  base  than  at  the  apex.  Bahia  artern- 
isiafolia  was  first  discovered  by  Mr.  Menzies,  in  California. 

1.  Helenium pubescens;  berbaceum,  puberulum,  caule  ramoso  alato,  foliis  alternis  oblongis 
inferioribus  obtiisis  superioribus  acuminatis  decurrentibus  pellucido-punctatis  integerrimis, 
capitulis  solitariis  in  ramis  longe  ante  apicem  aphyllis,  involucro  polyphyllo  reflexo  discnm 
superante,  receptaculo  subgloboso,  radii  floscnlis  lingulatis  trilobis  pellucido-punctatis. — 
Helenium  pubescens’.  Ait? — Ceplialophora  decurrens.  Lessing  in  Linncea,  v.  6.  p.  517. 

Lessing  appears  entirely  to  have  overlooked  the  marginal  series  of  scales  on  the  receptacle,  which  con- 
stitutes this  a Helenium,  as  its  habit  indicates,  and  not  a Ceplialophora  or  Actinella.  From  H.  quadriden- 
tatum  it  differs  by  the  shape  of  the  receptacle,  and  from  H.  autumnale  by  the  leaves,  which  we  have  always 
found  entire,  and  by  the  much  sm<aller  ray,  as  well  as  by  the  long  simple  one-flowered  branches,  like  those 
of  H.  quadridentatum.

1.  pseudo-acmella.  Linn.? 

Of  this  there  is  only  one,  and  that  a very  imperfect  specimen,  in  the  Collection, 

1.  Achillea  Millefolium.  Linn. 

Chamisso  appears  only  to  have  found  A.  magna,  (with  which  Lessing  unites  A.  lanata,  Spr.)  but 
specimens,  gathered  by  Messrs.  Lay  and  Collie,  appear  in  no  respect  distinct  from  A.  Millefolium,  and  certainly 
do  not  accord  with  what  we  possess  in  our  Herbaria  as  A.  magna. 

1.  Coinogyiie  carnosa.  Lessing  in  Linnoea,  v.  6.  p.  521. 

As  this  genus  is  peculiar  to  California,  and  only  lately  constituted,  we  extract  the  following  character  ; — 
CoiNOGYNE ; Involucrum  cylindraceum  pauciseriale,  foliolis  obtusissimis  margine  scariosis,  inferioribus 
brevioribus.  Receptaculum  conicum  nudum.  Flores  disci  tubulosi  hermaphroditic  radii  lingulati  feeminei. 
Antlierce  ecaudatae,  Achenia  calva.  Stylus  ramis  cono  superatis. — All  the  plant  is  fleshy.  The  leaves  are 
decussated,  lingulate,  very  entire,  united  at  the  base  into  a sheath  about  a line  long.  The  genus  approaches 
most  in  character  to  Chrysanthemum,  but  the  branches  of  the  style  in  this  last  are  truncate.  Lessing  con- 
pares  its  appearance  with  Kleinia  suffruticosa.  There  is  but  one  specimen  in  the  collection. 

1.  Artemisia  Californica;  fruticosa,  ramosa,  foliis  gemmuliferis  approximatis  pubescenti- 

incanis  pinnatisectis  segmentis  angiistissime  linearibus  obtusis,  siiperioribns  sensim  integris, 
racemo  subsecundo,  capitulis  cernuis  brevissime  pedicellatis,  involucre  subgloboso,  foliolis 
obtusis  margine  late  scariosis  glabriusculis,  receptaculo  undo,  corollis  glabris. — Lessing  in 
Linncea,  v.  6.  p.  523.  ' 

Allied  both  to  A.  Santonica  and  A.  herbacea:  the  above  character  will  readily  distinguish  it  from  both. 

2.  Artemisia  ^«odora;  herbacea,  foliis  glabris  radicalibus  subtrifidis,  caulinis  lanceolatis 
utrinque  attenuatis  margine  incrassatis  integerrimis,  floribus  pedunculatis  erectis,  involucri 
foliolis  margine  scariosis.  Spr. — Willd.  En. 

Our  specimens,  though  imperfect,  seem  to  accord  with  the  above  character!  but  the  species  is  perhaps 
too  nearly  allied  to  A.  Dracunculus. 

3.  Artemisia  integrifolia ; herbacea,  foliis  inferioribus  trifidis  superioribus  integris  lan- 
ceolatis acuminatis  subtus  tomentosis,  racemis  axillaribus  erectis,  capitulis  subsecundis 
pedicellatis,  involucro  campanulato,  receptaculo  undo. — Linn. — Willd.  Sp.  PI.  v.  3. 
p.  1846. 

This  species  seems  scarcely  to  differ  from  some  states  of  A.  vulgaris.  The  A.  longifolia  of  Nuttall 
appears  to  be  distinct. 

1.  Antennaria  margaritacea.  Broion. — Gnaphaliinn  margaritaceum.  Linn.

libusque  glomeratis  pedunculatis  paucifloris,  involucri  fuscescenti-argentei  foliolis  oblongis

p.  525. 

When  describing  the  Chilian  species  in  this  work,  (p.  31,)  we  were  led  to  suppose  that  what  we  then  called 
G.  Chilense  might,  notwithstanding  the  great  difference  in  the  characters,  be  the  plant  of  Sprengel.  In  the 
sixth  volume  of  the  Linneea,  however,  at  p.  227,  Lessing  describes  Chamisso’s  plant,  and  from  his  description 
it  is  obvious  that  what  we  have  called  G.  Chilense,  is  G.  falcatum,  Lam. : while  he  unites  Sprengel’s  G. 


Polemonidea-I 


CALIFORNIA. 


15] 


Chilense  to  G.  Piravira,  Mol=,  which  is  the  same  as  our  G.  citrimm,  a name  that  of  course  must  yield  to 
that  of  Molina’s,  although  we  are  yet  ignorant  where  it  is  published.  When  Lessing  referred  hither  the  G. 
Chilense,  he  must  have  trusted  a little  to  Sprengel’s  character,  as  we  did,  for  no  other'  plant  of  Chamisso, 
from  whom  Sprengel  had  it,  approached  more  closely.  At  p.  260,  Lessing  informs  us  that  he  had  overlooked 
a packet,  the  description  of  which  would  form  a supplement.  Among  these  he  adopts  the  G,  Chilense,  Spr., 
from  California,  and  although,  perhaps  inadvertently,  he  refers  to  the  former  part,  where  he  united  it  to  G. 
Piravira,  yet  he  now  adopts  the  name  from  Sprengel  j contrasting  which  with  the  character  given  by  that 
author,  w^e  have  now  no  doubt  of  the  present  being  what  he  intended ; and  as  it  is  not  a Chilian,  but  a 
Californian  plant,  we  have  considered  it  necessary  to  change  the  specific  name.  To  G.  lanuginosum,  Kunth, 
it  is  very  closely  allied  | but  although  Sprengel  unites  them,  we  consider  the  leaflets  of  the  involucre  “ argute 
acuta  fuscescenti-virescentia”  of  the  latter,  may  keep  it  distinct.  Sprengel  places  this  plant  erroneously 
among  the  “ Filagines,”  but  it  is  much  more  nearly  allied  to  G.  polycephalum,  and  particularly  to  G. 
decurrens.  We  may  here  remark,  in  addition  to  the  two  Chilian  species  already  noticed,  and  described  at  p.  31 , 
that  our  G,  utophyllum  coincides  with  Lessing’s  G.  Indicum,  and  G.  coarctatum  with  his  G,  stachy difolium.

In  the  specimens  before  us,  the  leaves  are  narrower  than  in  those  we  possess  from  the  United  States, 
and  the  panicle  more  destitute  of  foliage,  but  we  can  see  scarcely  any  other  difference.  The  Avoolly  coat  on 
the  underside  of  the  leaves  is  subject  to  be  rubbed  off.  The  Californian  state  approaches  very  nearly  to  G. 
Sprengelii,  above  described,  from  which  it  principally  differs  by  the  leaves  not  being  cottony  on  both  sides.

At  the  time  Dr.  Hooker  published  this  species  in  the  Botanical  Magazine,  he  was  not  aware  of  a specific

of  the  southern  branches  of  the  Columbia.  Eschscholtz  describes  the  stem  as  biennial,  and  suffruticose ; but 
the  latter  term  is  probably  only  applied  to  mark  the  rigidity  of  that  part ; in  our  gardens  it  appears  to  be 
annual.

and  Mr.  Douglas  on  the  Columbia  River ; but  in  that  individual  the  flowers  are  very  small,  and  the  peduncles 
scarcely  so  long  as  the  leaf.  The  species  has  long  existed  in  Mr.  Menzies’s  Herbarium,  and  in  those  of 
his  friends,  to  whom  he  liberally  communicated  specimens.  Mr.  Collie  remarks  that  the  capsule  is  poly- 
spermous.

We  cannot  agree  with  Chamisso  that  there  are  sufficient  characters  to  separate  the  above  synonyms, 
indeed  from  Chili  we  have  received  intermediate  states,  Pursh’s  character  of  his  P.  heterophylla  applies 
equally  to  our  plant.

Of  this  there  are  two  states  in  the  Collection ; one  with  the  leaves  glabrous,  the  other  with  them  more  or 
less  puberulous  beneath.  In  both,  the  angles  of  the  stem  are  rough,  or  almost  prickly. 

2.  Solanum  umbelliferum ; incano-puberulum,  caule  suffruticoso,  foliis  petiolatis  ovatis

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

This  certainly  belongs  to  the  same  genus  as  S.  linearis  and  jS".  integrifolia.  Hook.  Bot.  Mag.  t.  3113;  but 
they  differ  from  the  other  of  the  Chilian  species  by  tbe  foliaceous  lobes  of  the  calyx,  thereby  approaching 
Petunia  and  Nierembergia\  indeed,  the  latter  of  these  two  species  is  Nierembergia  phcenicea  of  Don,  while 
the  former  appears  to  be  N.  intermedia,  Graham,  in  Ed.  N.  Phil.  Journ.  n.  27.  p.  175.  From  Nierembergia, 
even  although  it  be  united  with  Petunia,  as  Don  proposes,  these  plants  appear  distinct  by  the  inflated  tube 
of  the  corolla,  which  has  scarcely  any  limb.  Lindernia  Montividensis,  Spreng.  Syst.  v.  2.  p.  769,  of  which 
Chamisso  and  Schlechtendal  remark,  (Linnsea,  v.  3.  p.  24,)  “ planta  e Solanearum  ordine,  Nierembergice

As  remarked  by  Chamisso  and  Schlechtendal,  this  species  approaches  very  closely  to  the  Europteau  S. 
nodosa:  according  to  these  authors  the  affinity  is  less  with  S.  Marilandica,  although  to  us  it  appears 
extremely  allied  to  that  species.  From  S.  nodosa,  the  shape  of  the  calycine  segments  and  of  the  capsule 
will  readily  distinguish  it.  Our  specimens  have  no  root.

'Although  undoubtedly  a distinct  species  from  the  Chilian  M.  luteus,  it  is  by  no  means  easy  to  point  out  a 
constant  distinctive  character.  In  M.  guttatus  the  size  of  the  flowers  is  usually  much  smaller,  the  peduncles 
are  pubescent  and  shorter;  but  we  do  not  find  them  so  short  as  to  verify  the  assertion  that  they  are  shorter

than  the  bracteas  or  floral  leaves : they  are  generally  shorter  than  the  flower,  while  in  M.  luteus  the  lower 
ones  especially  are  often  considerably  longer.  What  Sprengel  means,  when  he  says  that  in  the  one  the 
peduncles  have  bracteas,  and  in  no  other  are  ebracteate,  we  scarcely  comprehend.

It  will  be  seen  from  the  above  character,  taken  from  the  Californian  specimens,  that  there  are  considerable 
points  of  difference  between  them  and  the  C.  pallida  of  authors,  the  Bartsia  pallida  of  Michaux.  The 
floral  leaves,  not  dilated,  also  separate  it  from  C.  lithospermoides  of  Kunth,  From  C.  integrifolia,  Linn, 
to  which  it  is  also  allied,  the  tubular,  not  ventricose,  calyx,  during  flowering,  will  keep  it  distinct.

According  to  Mr.  Collie  this  is  from  three  to  six  inches  high,  and  grows  in  wet  sandy  places : he  mentions 
that  the  flowers  are  in  a lax  terminal  spike;  but,  with  the  exception  of  one  specimen,  in  which  the  bracteas 
have  fallen  away,  those  in  the  Collection  exhibit  a spike  which  is  both  short  and  dense.  Chamisso  appears 
to  have  found  in  the  same  place,  “ in  arenosis  littoralibus  ad  portum  S.  Francisci  Novae  Californiae,”  a 
species  which  surely  must  be  the  same  with  ours,  but  which  he  refers  to  C.  Toluccensis,  H.  B,  K.,  owing, 
perhaps,  to  his  having  only  seen  “ serotinas  autumni  proles.”  This  and  the  next  must  belong  to  the  same 
subgenus  or  section  of  Castilleja  as  Euchroma  coccinea,  Nutt,  having  the  same  kind  of  calyx,  while  C. 
affinis  has  more  the  calyx  of  Euchroma  grandiflora.

In  some  points  it  approaches  to  C.  Jissifolia,  L.  The  axils  of  the  leaves  are  furnished  with  a tuft  of  leaves 
on  short  abortive  branches.

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

The  leaves  are  almost  an  inch  long,  and  nearly  the  same  in  breadth.  The  bractese  in  the  same  specimen 
are  sometimes  situated  near  the  middle  of  the  peduncles,  hence  we  have  doubts  if  T.  Douglasii,  Benth.  1.  c. 
said  by  Mr.  Bentham  to  have  been  also  found  in  California,  and  only  to  differ  by  the  broader  foliage  and 
different  situation  of  the  bracteoles,  be  really  distinct.

Mr.  Bentham  farther  mentions  it  to  be  from  three  to  four  inches  high.  The  only  specimen  in  the  Col- 
lection is  about  eight  inches : it  differs  slightly  from  the  above  character,  by  the  leaves  not  only  being 
not  rounded  at  the  base,  but  decidedly  acute.

We  have  only  seen  one  specimen,  which  is  about  two  feet  high,  and  nearly  simple.  There  is  also  a 
fragment  of  an  allied  species  in  the  Collection,  too  imperfect  to  be  satisfactorily  determined : its  character,  as 
far  as  we  can  draw  it  up,  is  as  follows : — caule  erecto  gracili  tetragono,  angulis  pilis  rigidis  raris  reflexis

The  specimens  are^in  bad  condition,  and  only  show  one  or  two  upper  leaves,  which  may  account  for  the 
difference  between  the  above  character  and  that  given  by  Kunth,

That  V.  biserrata  is  the  same  with  V.  Caroliniana,  as  is  stated  by  Sprengel,  is  rendered  probable  by  there 
existing  a specimen,  found  by  Humboldt,  in  Willdenow’s  Herbarium : the  habitat,  however,  attached  to  it, 
according  to  Schlechtendal  and  Chamisso,  (Linnsea,  v.  5.  p.  98,)  being  “ Mora  in  Mexico,”  applies  more  strictly 
to  V.  veronicafolia,  which  seems  to  differ  from  the  true  V.  Caroliniana  by  the  roundish  stems.

Two  other  species  are  found  along  with  this  in  the  sands  of  the  sea-shore  in  California,  both  of  which,

the  tube  of  the  perianth  short,  the  stamens  equal  in  length,  and  exserted.  It  is  to  be  regretted,  that  Esch-

uniform  abbreviations,  and  almost  total  disappearance  of  these  little  branches,  causing  the  appearance  we

This  species,  although  it  sometimes  bears  a head  of  flowers,  ne¥er  seems  to  present  the  aggregated 
appearance  of  the  last  one,  nor  of  the  E.  latifolium,  Sm.,  from  which  it  is  truly  distinct.  The  long  petiolated 
leaves  are  seated  at  the  apex  of  a short  ramification } but  the  greater  number  of  them  are  radical.

The  flowers  are  too  little  advanced  to  permit  us  to  ascertain  whether  the  pistiUum  becomes  fertile,  and 
the  plant  consequently  hermaphrodite : it  however  appears  to  us  to  be  so.  The  inflorescence  and  involu- 
crum are  those  of  a Tetranthera,  while  the  hermaphrodite  flowers,  and  somewhat  capitate  stigma  allies  our  plant 
to  Ocotea.  In  one  specimen  we  have  observed  the  remains  of  the  calyx  after  the  drupe  has  fallen  away, 
from  which  it  appears  to  be  cupuliform,  entire,  coriaceous,  and  persistent.  The  peduncle  is  monocarpic,  or 
bears  but  one  fruit,  and  is  much  shorter  than  the  leaves.

The  specimens  differ  somewhat  from  the  Europeean  ones,  by  the  leaves  being  rough,  although  scarcely 
serrated  on  the  margin,  and  by  having  a slight  mucro.  The  glands  of  the  involucrum  are  lunate  and  two-

The  imperfect  state  of  the  specimen  prevents  us  from  ascertaining  whether  or  not  this  belongs  to  the 
arborescent  tribe.  The  leaves  are  opposite,  varying  from  ovate,  with  a slightly  cordate  base,  to  oblongo- 
lanceolate  and  accuminated.  They  are  deeply  serrated,  slightly  hairy  above,  with  a few  rigid  stinging 
bristly  hairs  intermixed,  which  are  more  abundant  on  the  petioles : beneath  they  are  provided  with  a short 
white  villous  pubescence.  Spikes  of  flowers  crowded  at  the  axillae  of  the  leaves,  slightly  branched,  pen- 
diflous.  Fruit  ovate ; style  none ; stigma  sessile,  penicillate.

The  specimens,  which  are  without  the  inflorescence,  and  consist  only  of  the  old  branches  with  leaves, 
agree  perfectly  with  the  above  plant,  but  we  are  not  aware  of  its  being  an  American  species,  as  well  as 
Europsean.  There  is  a gland  or  two  at  the  base  of  the  leaf,  on  each  side  of  the  petiole,  and  the  base  has  no 
sinus,  as  in  S.  cordata,  Muhl.,  in  Koen.  Ann.  of  Bot.  v.  2.  p.  64.  t.  5.  f.  3.,  to  which  otherwise  the  leaf  bears

A very  remarkable  variety,  with  a stipitate  frond,  cartilaginous  below,  branched ; branches  or  segments 
oblong,  wedge-shaped,  inclining  to  palmate,  strongly  nerved  at  the  base : the  nerve  ramifying  over  the  whole 
membrane,  and  visible  to  the  extremity  of  the  frond.  In  some  specimens  these  segments  are  stipitate,  and 
almost  resemble  the  leaves  of  a Delesseria.  Sori  in  marginal  leaflets. — S.  serrulatum.  Harv. — Frond  linear, 
attenuated,  much  branched,  with  a broad  nerve  at  the  base,  which  vanishes  about  the  middle,  the  margins 
sharply  serrate.

Another  specimen  in  the  Herbarium  probably  belongs  to  this  species  also. 

3.  Rhodomenia  ciliata;  /3.  micropliylla. 

A remarkable  variety,  with  a lanceolate  outline,  throwing  out  stipitate  lanceolate  leaflets  from  its  margine 
and  disk;  these  in  turn  are  ciliato-dentate,  with  lanceolate  compressed  ciliae,  or  incipient  tertiary  leaflets  on 
both  surfaces.

6-8  inches  high,  pinnately  branched,  the  branches  (pinnae)  long,  simple,  much  attenuated  at  the  base  and 
apex ; 1-2  lines  broad  in  the  middle,  pinnated  with  foliaceous,  lanceolate,  mostly  opposite  ramuli,  from  2-6 
lines  long.  Both  branches  and  ramuli  are  perfectly  simple,  and  preserve  their  strictly  lanceolate  figure 
throughout.

The  specimen  which  I refer  to  this  species  wants  the  fniit,  which  in  the  Chondri  is  of  some  moment  in 
specific  characters,  but  the  ramification  and  substance  agree  with  Turner’s  figure.

This,  not  excepting  our  own  P.  plumosa,  is  the  most  beautiful  of  the  genus,  and  one  of  the  most  elegant 
of  marine  plants.  It  is  readily  known  by  the  small  leaflike  ramuli,  ( 1 line  long)  of  a lanceolate  figure,  which 
regularly  alternate  with  the  pinnules,  a pinnule  and  a leaflet  being  always  opposite  each  other,  but  standing 
alternately  on  the  stem.  Stems  bipinnate,  4-5  inches  high,  slender,  two-edged,  aU  the  divisions  alternate ; 
pinnules  closely  pinnated  with  lanceolate  leaf- like  ramuli,  between  each  of  which  rises  a rudimentary  branchlet, 
which  in  its  turn  bears  also  a set  of  similar  little  leaves,  in  an  alternate  series,  opposite  each  of  which  is  a 
clavate  dark  red  receptacle  full  of  small  grains.

This,  too,  in  its  youn^  state,  is  distinguished  like  the  last  by  a very  beautiful  character,  a little  comb-like 
ramulus,  inciso-serrate  on  its  lower  side,  being  placed  opposite  the  insertion  of  each  pinnule ; but  in  older 
fronds,  from  a frequent  multiplication  of  this  structure,  nothing  is  visible  but  a confused  fascicle  of  multifid 
ramuli.  The  pinnules,  or  secondary  branches,  are  closely  set  with  similar  ramuli,  alternating  with  each 
other,  and  in  the  spaces  between  these  are  situated  fructiferous  multifid  ramuli,  which  bear  dense  clusters 
of  trisporous  capsules.

A fine  species,  and  an  undoubted  Iridaa.  Shape  of  I.  edulis,  thick,  flexile,  its  upper  half  bearing  elon- 
gated papillae  in  great  abundance,  each  of  which  terminates  in  one  or  more  umbiUcated  warts.  These  warts 
contain  a mass  of  small  seeds,  lodged  in  a central  cavity,  and  differ  principally  from  regular  capsules,  (such 
as  are  found  in  the  Floridem,)  by  passing  into  the  pediceles,  and  thence  into  the  frond,  without  any  percep- 
table  alteration  in  the  size  or  shape  of  the  subjacent  cellules.  The  outer  coating  of  the  frond  also  is  continued 
round  them  without  interruption,  and  the  whole  is  perfectly  opaque.

Through  the  kindness  of  our  valued  friend,  Charles  Millett,  Esq.,  we  are  in  possession  of  many  Chinese 
plants,  gathered  by  himself  at  Macao  and  the  adjacent  Islands.  The  Collection  also  includes  many  from  the 
Herbarium  of  the  Rev.  G.  H.  Vachell,  Chaplain  to  the  Factory  at  Canton,  in  whose  bounty  we  have  again 
likewise  shared,  through  the  medium  of  the  Rev.  Professor  Henslow  of  Cambridge.  These  have  aU 
assisted  us  in  materially  determining  many  species  in  Captain  Beechey’s  Collection  | and  they  have 
furnished  us  with  several  species  which  our  Naturalists  had  not  the  good  fortune  to  meet  with  during  their

of  the  fruit,  which  in  A,  odoratissimus  is  rounded  at  the  apex.  Our  friend  Dr.  Wight,  however,  informs  us 
that  he  has  observed  the  fruit  vary  so  very  much  on  the  same  plant  in  India,  as  to  leave  considerable  doubts 
how  far  both  species  are  not  identical.  Fine  specimens  are  communicated  by  Mr.  MUlett.

The  panicle  is  sometimes  not  much  longer  than  the  petiole,  but  appears  also  on  the  same  specimen  to  be 
elongated;  in  the  latter  state,  however,  it  seems  to  be  a young  branch  from  which  the  leaves  have  dropped 
off  from  the  base  of  the  true  panicles.  We  have  only  seen  the  male  flowers:  the  anthers  are  as  in  Menis- 
permum,  but  the  flower  is  divided  in  a ternary  manner,  as  in  Cocculus.  We  have  also  received  it  from

This  plant  dilFers  widely  from  all  the  forms  of  D.  Burmanni^  by  the  shape  of  the  leaves  and  petioles, 
and  from  D.  rotundifolia  by  the  want  of  an  arillus  to  the  seed.  The  leaves  are  intermediate  between 

D.  brevifolia,  Pursh,  and  D.  intermedia,  Drev.  et  Hayn. : the  petiole,  however,  is  pilose  and  ciliated,  w ith 
hairs  similar  to  those  on  the  limb.  Willdenow,  in  his  edition  of  Loureiro,  among  the  corrigenda  at  p.  883, 
remarks,  “ Drosera  rotundifolia,  a Burmanno  depicta,  ah  Europsea  nostra  differe  videtur.  Possideo  specimen 
hujus  plantee  siccum,  quod  alio  loco  et  tempore  fusius  describam.”  If  Willdenow  has  reclaimed  his 
promise,  we  have  not  been  able  to  ascertain  the  work  in  which  he  has  done  so,  and  therefore  have  proposed 
the  above  specific  name.

Of  this  species,  common  to  both  the  Old  and  New  World,  our  synonyms  are  taken  from  notes  made  by  Mr. 
Arnott,  in  De  Candolle’s  Herbarium,  in  1825.  To  them  ought  probably  to  be  added  S.  muc7-onulata,  De 
Cand.  Prodr.  v.  1.  p.  461,  which  is  also  a Malva,  having  a three-leaved  involucre,  and  tricuspidate  fruit;  but 
De  Candolle’s  specimen  difiers  slightly  in  the  more  glabrous  leaves.  It  may  be  added,  that  Sprengel 
has  most  erroneously  united  Sida  carpinoides  with  S.  ulmifolia,  Willd.,  to  S.  spirceafolia,  Link.  The 
axillary  flowers  are  always,  we  believe,  solitary,  but  they  are  sometimes,  though  rarely,  accompanied  by  a 
short  branch,  on  which  there  are  other  flowers  forming  a kind  of  spike : this  has  given  rise  to  the  character 
sometimes  given,  of  the  axillary  flowers  being  niunerous  and  densely  clustered,  “ floribus  axillaribus 
glomeratis.”  DC.

Both  have  the  leaves  more  or  less  distinctly  crenated,  with  from  one  to  three  linear  pores  beneath  on  the

Of  this  we  have  been  obliged  to  resort  to  more  perfect  specimens  than  those  in  the  Collection,  the  first

only  narrow-leaved  species  we  have  received  from  Macao.  But  then  it  can  scarcely  be  the  plant  of  Lamarck, 
Encycl.  Meth.  3.  p.  89,  of  which  he  says  “ feuilles  lanceolees  ou  etroites-lanceolees,  saliciformes and  of 
which  the  description  seems  to  be  made  up  partly  from  Linnaeus’s  character,  and  partly  from  the  branchlets 
the  Author  says  he  obtained  from  Sonnerat.  Again  Sonnerat’s  and  Lamarck’s  plant  seems  to  be  H.  lan- 
ceolata,  De  Cand.  Prodr.  v.  1.  p.  47C;  “species  distinctissima : ” and  with  it  H.  angustifolia,  Wallich’s 
List,  n.  1180,  is  identical,  as  also  what  Colebrooke  named  H.  spicata  to  Sir  James  Smith,  according  to  a 
specimen  communicated  by  Sir  James  to  Dr.  Hooker.  But  this  last  must  not  be  confounded  with  what 
stands  as  H.  spicata  of  Colebrooke,  in  Wallich’s  List,  n.  1182,  and  is  described  by  Mr.  G.  Don  in  his  ed.  of 
Miller’s  Dictionary,  p.  507,  which  precisely  accords  with  specimens  we  have  received  from  Canton,  and  which 
agree  so  well  with  the  description  given  by  Loureiro  of  his  H.  hirsuta,  that  we  cannot  consider  them  as 
any  way  distinct.  This  latter  we  possess  from  Mr.  Vachell  and  Mr.  IVRllett,  gathered  about  Macao : whilst 
the  true  H.  angustifolia,  these  gentlemen  find  on  Lappas  Island.

This  seems  to  be  an  abundant  plant,  if  we  may  judge  from  the  specimens  we  have  received  from  various 
friends.

B.  grandifolia.  De  Cand.  Prodr.  v.  1.  p.  486. 

The  capsule  consists  of  five  cocci,  which  split  in  an  elastic  manner,  and  separate  from  the  central  axis, 
very  much  as  in  Hura  crepitans,  to  which  also  in  the  appearance  of  the  foliage  this  plant  bears  considerable 
resemblance.  The  leaves  are  described  by  Dr.  Wallich  as  pubescent  beneath,  and  they  are  so  likewise  in 
the  specimen  from  China  before  us  j but  those  from  the  Calcutta  Garden,  distributed  by  Dr.  Wallich,  (n, 
114'4'  of  his  List  of  Indian  Plants,)  are,  as  De  Candolle  says,  perfectly  glabrous.  We  scarcely  know  what  is 
meant  in  the  Flora  Indica  (1.  c.)  by  “ Anthers  twin:”  probably  anthers  two-celled,  as  there  is  really  but  one 
anther,  although  the  two  cells  be  slightly  distinct.  Mr.  G.  Don,  in  Miller’s  Dictionary,  places  this  species 
in  Commersonia,  with  which  it  agrees  pretty  weU  in  habit,  but  not  in  the  structure  of  the  fruit,  nor  in  the 
trifid  filaments. — With  regard  to  Commersonia,  we  have  at  page  60  of  this  Work  inadvertently  been  led 
into  the  same  mistake  as  other  authors,  by  referring  to  Rumph.  Amb.  .3. 1 19,  as  a figure  of  Forster’s  C.  echinata. 
At  first  sight  the  figure  agrees  well,  and  is  therefore  quoted  by  Forster  himself | but  on  turning  to  the  text, 
Rumphius  thus  describes  the  leaves  " adulta  inferius  sunt  subrotunda,  in  medio  antem  latissirae,  sex  nempe 
digitos  transversales  lata  sunt  iUa,  quse  palmam  longa  sunt.”  Besides  the  great  size  described,  they  are 
represented  strongly  serrated.  Now  the  plant  we  had  in  view,  and  which,  after  a second  careful  comparison 
with  Forster’s  plate  and  description,  we  still  consider  to  be  his  species,  has  rigid  coriaceous  leaves,  glabrous 
above,  and  covered  with  a compact  white  pubescence  beneath ; their  shape  is  oblongo-lanceolate,  slightly 
and  unequally  cordate  at  their  base,  while  their  margin  is  slightly  and  distantly  toothed.  There  cannot, 
we  think,  be  the  smallest  doubt  but  the  Commersonia  echinata  of  Blume,  now  called  C.  Javensis,  by  Mr.  G. 
Don,  in  Miller’s  Dictionary,  (with  which  again  we  consider  as  identical  C.  platyphylla,  (3.  De  Cand.  Prodr. 
v.  1.  p.  486,  and  C.  echinata  of  Roxburgh,  figxwed  and  described  by  him  as  n.  1392,  at  the  India  House,  but 
omitted  in  his  own  Indian  Flora,  although  the  name  is  inserted  in  the  Hortus  Benghalensis  at  p.  22,)  is  the 
plant  figured  by  Rumphius ; and  further,  we  do  not  see  any  satisfactory  character  to  distinguish  it  from  C. 
platyphylla,  Andi*.,  figured  in  the  Bot.  Magazine,  t.  1813.

We  have  been  particular  about  the  synonyms  of  this  plant,  of  which  we  have  numerous  specimens  from 
Mr.  Millett  and  Mr.  Vachell,  because  there  appears  to  have  been  much  confusion;  the  state  with  leaves 
broader  upwards  having  been  described  by  three  diiferent  Botanists,  under  as  many  different  names,  aU  con- 
sidering it  as  distinct  from  the  plant  of  Linnseus.  Hamilton,  however,  appears  to  have  had  in  view  as  the 
Linnsean  plant,  another  species  called  Microcos  tomentosa  by  Smith,  and  which  is  the  Grewia  paniculata  of 
Roxburgh;  and  it  is  not  improbable  that,  from  the  specific  name,  Roxburgh  himself  fell  into  the  same 
mistake.  As  to  the  specific  identity  of  the  two  forms,  we  for  some  time  entertained  considerable  doubts : 
the  figures  in  Roxb.  Corom.  Rheede,  and  Plukenet,  aU  representing  the  Ceylon  and  Malabar  plants  and  agree- 
ing with  a specimen  of  M.  paniculata,  Sm.,  preserved  in  the  Linneean  Herbarium,  exhibit  a leaf  that  is  ovato- 
lanceolate,  and  scarcely  cordate  at  the  base;  while  in  the  others  from  China,  Ava,  and  Bengal,  the  leaves 
are  usually  broader  upwards  above  the  middle,  and  then  shortly  acuminate.  To  the  first  belongs,  of 
Wallich’s  List,  n.  1098,  C.  E.  F.  G. : and  to  the  second,  the  other  specimens  of  the  same  number,  excepting 
perhaps  D,  the  G.  begoniifolia,  Roxb.  FI,  Ind.  p.  592,  about  which  we  have  not  had  it  in  our  power  to  satisfy 
ourselves.  Our  friends  Dr.  Wight  and  Hamilton’s  specimens  appear  to  determine  the  point  that  the  one  is 
not  distinct  as  a species  or  even  as  a variety,  from  the  other,  the  former  Botanist  having  found  the  ovato- 
lanceolate  leaf  mixed  with  so  strong  an  approach  to  the  obovato-lanceolate  kind,  as  to  be  scarcely  distinguish- 
able on  the  same  bush,  in  hilly  situations  in  the  Peninsula  of  India : and  although  Dr.  Hamilton  says  “ folia 
apicem  versus  latiora,”  his  own  specimen,  preserved  in  the  Museum  of  the  University  of  Edinburgh,  is  quite 
intermediate  between  that  and  the  Ceylon  plant  figured  in  Burman. 


Of  the  Order  Tiliacem,  we  have  Corchorus  acutangulus,  Lam.,  and  Triumfeita  Lappula,  gathered  near 
Macao,  by  Mr.  Millett  and  Mr.  Vachell. 

Of  the  Order  TernstrmmiacetB,  Mr.  Millett’s  Collection  contains  a very  fine  plant,  which  we  refer  to 
Cleyera,  though  the  antherse  be  not  “ retrorsum  Setoso-hispidse,”  nor  the  stigma  divided.  We  think  the 
species  well  deserving  of  bearing  the  name  of  its  discoverer,  who  has  rendered  so  much  service  to  Botany 
during  his  long  residence  in  China.  Its  characters  we  give  below.* 

Of  the  Order  Camelliem,  Polyspora  axillaris,  ( Camellia  axillaris,  Ker,)  is  sent  from  Macao  by  Mr.  MiUett.

From  C.  Japonica,  the  original  Cleyera  of  Thunberg,  this  is  known  by  its  veiny  always  entire  leaves,  by  the  sepals  and  calyx  nearly 
eq^ual  in  size,  and  remarkably  acute,  and  by  the  entire  stigma.  In  C.  ochnacea,  of  which  we  possess  fine  specimens  from  Dr.  Wallich, 
the  peduncles  are  clustered,  the  sepals  and  petals  are  quite  rounded  at  the  extremity,  the  anthers  are  retrorsely  hispid,  and  the  stigma 
is  bifid : and  the  same  characters  are  found  iu  the  C.  grandiflora  of  Dr.  Wallich.

ought  to  be  changed  to  M.  Sumatrana,  even  although  he  had  not  given  it  upon  the  supposition  that  his 
and  Loureiro’s  plants  were  the  same.  The  true  JM.  paniculata  may  be  characterised,  “ foliis  ovatis,  floribus

The  genus  Glycosmis  is  perhaps  only  distinguishable  from  Limonia  by  the  structure  of  the  fruit.  In 
Limonia,  the  pericarp  is  tough,  and  resembling  the  rind  of  an  orange,  and  the  seeds  are  covered  with  pulp. 
In  Glycosmis,  the  pericarp  is  fleshy,  like  the  eatable  parts  of  a cherry,  and  the  seeds  are  destitute  of  pulp.

Ou  account  of  the  three  large  glandular  bodies  that  alternate  with  the  bundles  of  stamens,  and  which 
are  described  both  by  Lamarck  and  Loureiro,  although  passed  over  in  silence  by  Choisy,  this  plant,  which 
we  have  likewise  received  from  Mr.  Vachell  and  Mr.  Millett,  ought  perhaps  to  form  the  type  of  a genus, 
in  which  might  be  included,  H.  Cochinchense  of  Loureiro,  a plant  with  obtuse  leaves,  and  H.?  coccineum.

Tridesmos  would  be  also  distinguished  from  Hypericum,  by  the  dowers  being  more  or  less  of  a red  colour.

Such  is  all  the  character  the  solitary  specimen  before  us  will  permit  us  to  give.  It  does  not  well  accord 
with  the  figure  quoted  by  Choisy,  in  Rumph.  Amb.  3.  t.  32 ; but  it  agrees  better  with  Loureiro’s  description. 
The  genera  Garcinia,  Xanthochymus,  and  Stalagmitis  are  in  great  confusion,  and  require  to  be  studied 
anew  from  living  specimens.  Thus,  as  Garcinia  is  at  present  characterised  by  both  Choisy  and  Cambessedes, 
not  one  species  would  belong  to  it : in  all  the  species,  the  structure  of  the  male  dower  is  precisely  as  in 
Stalagmitis'.  and  even,  if  we  suppose  the  character  of  “stamina  libera”  to  allude  to  the  hermaphrodite 
dower  alone,  we  shall  scarcely  find  any  but  G.  Mangostana  to  which  it  is  applicable;  the  other  species 
being  almost  without  exception  dioecious,  and  not  polygamous.  In  some,  no  doubt,  as  in  G.  panicidata, 
Roxb.  FI.  Ind.  (with  which  it  may  be  remarked,  that  G.  Boobicowa,  Roxb.  H.  Bengh.  and  G.  Tuntook, 
Roxh.  MSS.  n.  1064,  at  the  India  House,  are  identical),  there  are  rudiments  of  stamens  in  the  female 
dowers : in  others,  there  are  stamina  with  glands  instead  of  anthers,  but  such  dowers  cannot  be  termed 
hermaphrodite.  Perhaps  Garcinia  may  he  restricted  to  the  polygamous  species,  while  Stalagmitis  (or 
Brendonia,  for  we  can  see  no  difference  between  them)  includes  the  truly  dioecious  ones.  As  to 
Xanthochymus,  we  believe  all  are  polygamous,  and  have  the  male  organs  alike  both  in  the  male  and 
hermaphrodite  dowers ; besides,  there  is  in  the  hermaphrodite,  a gland,  and  in  the  male,  a lobe  of  the  discoid 
torus,  between  each  bundle  of  stamens,  which  is  not  to  be  seen  in  either  Garcinia  or  Staglumitis.  Cambes- 
sedes has  pi'operly  removed  both  Staglamitis  and  Xanthochymus  from  the  section,  having  unilocular  fruit.

Choisy,  in  De  Candolle’s  Prodromus,  says  that  the  dowers  are  loosely  racemose,  which  is  far  from  the 
case  in  our  plant : but  then  he  quotes,'  without  doubt,  Burman’s  C.  Soulattri,  to  which,  again,  Roxburgh 
refers  with  equal  certainty,  as  his  C.  Suriga : Roxburgh’s  short  character,  “ leaves  linear,  oblong,  {polished, 
dowers  verticilled  below  the  leaves,”  belongs  evidently  to  our  species,  although  the  dowers  are  really 
axillary,  and  not  infra-axillary.  With  regard  to  the  other  species  in  the  Flora  Indica,  they  seem  to  be 
scarcely  known,  and  even  Dr.  Wallich  does  not  refer  to  Roxburgh  in  his  List  of  East  Indian  Plants.  Yet 
we  believe  there  can  be  little  doubt,  when  we  compare  the  descriptions  with  the  specimens,  that  C.  Bintagor, 
for  which  Roxburgh  quotes  Rumph.  Amb.  2.  t.  71,  is  C.  inophyllum,  G.,  of  Wallich’s  List,  n.  4841 ; that 
C.  angustifolium  is  Wallich’s  C.  pulcherrimum,  n.  4848;  and  that  C.lanceolarium,  is  C.  Tacamahaca,  Willd 
As  to  C.  acuminatum,  Lam.,  or  Rumph.  Amb.  2.  t.  72,  usually  quoted  under  C.  spectabile,  it  appears  to  be 
a distinct  species,  with  narrow  leaves,  six  inches  or  more  in  length.

The  specimen  in  the  Collection  is  very  imperfect,  and  bears  rather  narrower  leaves  than  in  others  which 
we  have  received  also  from  Mr.  Millett : the  lateral  leaflets,  although  shorter  than  the  others,  are  sometimes 
scarcely  obtuse.

Very  closely  allied  to  C.  orientalis,  Lam.:  indeed,  so  much  that  we  should  not  have  separated  them  as 
species,  were  it  not  for  the  quinary  arrangement  of  the  parts  of  the  flower  in  the  present  individual.  The 
stamina  are  opposite  to  the  petals,  and  inserted  with  them  at  the  base  of  the  large  cup-shaped  torus,  which 
closely  surrounds  the  germen:  filaments  straight,  short,  scarcely  longer  than  the  torus:  anthers  two-celled. 
Style  short  and  thick.  Stigma  simple. 

Mr.  Millett  has  sent  a species  of  Vitis,  from  Macao,  which  we  can  compare  with  no  species  of  Vine 
of  the  Old  Word,  but  which  so  closely  resembles  the  V.  serotina  of  N.  America,  according  to  specimens 
we  possess  from  Mr.  Nuttall,  that  we  dare  hardly  venture  to  consider  it  distinct.  Almost  the  only  difference 
is,  that  our  plant  has  the  leaves  rather  less  deeply  serrated,  and  somewhat  glaucous  beneath.

The  petals  are  certainly  ciliated,  and  not  entire,  or  merely  toothed,  as  in  R.  graveolens,  which  one 
would  rather  have  expected  to  find  in  China,  than  the  present  species.  Loureiro,  however,  mentions  that

Dr.  Wallich,  in  his  edition  of  Roxburgh’s  Indian  Flora,  observes  how  liable  the  leaves  of  E.  orientate 
are  to  vary  in  shape.  The  same  remark  seems  applicable  to  the  present  species : they  are  sometimes  ovate 
and  obtuse,  sometimes  oblongo-lanceolate,  sometimes  perfectly  entire,  sometimes  obtusely  serrated,  and  even 
some  leaves  are  rather  acutely  serrated.  We  have  always,  however,  seen  them  much  longer  than  the  petiole, 
and  not  as  De  Candolle  says,  “ petiolo  vix  triple  longiora.”  Thus  there  does  not  appear  to  have  been 
one  character  given  to  separate  the  E.  glaucum  from  E.  orientate,  until  the  shape  of  the  fruit  was 
pointed  out ; in  E.  orientate,  the  drupe  is  oblong.  Surely  De  Candolle  must  have  made  some  mistake  when 
he  says,  in  the  generic  character,  that  the  drupe  is  5-celled,  although  sometimes,  by  abortion,  with  fewer 
cells ; implying  that  the  ovary  is  alv^'ays  5-celled.  Roxburgh  and  Dr.  Wallich  attribute  only  two  cells  to 
the  ovary  in  their  character  of  the  genus;  Gsertner,  however,  appears  to  have  seen  (Fruct.  1.  t.  57.) 
three  cells  in  the  drupe  in  E.  orientate,  but  Roxburgh,  in  his  figure,  at  the  India  House,  n.  73,  represents 
only  two,  and  occasionally  one  cell.  .

Only  one  specimen,  and  that  in  a very  imperfect  state,  is  in  the  Collection,  but  we  have  received  others 
from  Mr.  Millett,  gathered  near  Macao.  There  seem  to  be  two  forms  of  the  plant,  the  one  with 
glabrous  leaves  and  branches,  the  other  with  both  very  pubescent.  The  last  only  we  possess  in  fruit, 
which  is  also  very  pubescent.  The  ala  is  by  no  means  membranaceous,  nor  so  broad  as  in  P.  aculeatus,  but 
of  the  same  texture  as  the  pericarp;  it  is  three-lobed,  the  lobes  rounded,  and  very  slightly  crenulated. 
In  P.  aculeatus  the  rim  of  the  fruit  is  broad,  membranaceous,  crenulated,  but  not  lobed.  Loureiro  unfortu- 
tunately  mistook  the  convolute  petals  for  a series  of  stamens;  “ fllamenta  10  basi  fissnrarum  calycis  jocr 
paria  insidentia:  horum  5 brevissima  (the  petals),  5 alia  (the  true  stamens)  triple  longiora:  antherae  brevi- 
orum  oblongse,  magnse  (the  limb  of  the  petals),  lorigiorum  parvae,  ovate.”  This  error,  indeed,  De  Candolle 
has  hinted  at,  when  he  states  that  he  had  examined  a specimen  from  Loureiro  himself,  and  found  only  5 
stamens,  and  these  concealed  by  the  hollow  limb  of  the  unguiculate  petals.  We  trust  that  the  above  descrip- 
tion of  the  fruit  will  not  only  suffice  to  distinguish  the  species,  but  show  the  propriety  of  its  being  left  in 
the  genus  Paliurus,  where  it  has  been  hitherto  placed,  though  doubtfully,  on  account  of  the  obscurity  in  which 
the  plant  has  been  involved.

The  above  description,  together  with  the  accompanying  figure,  will,  we  trust,  reclaim  this  beautiful  species 
from  obscurity.  There  cannot  be  the  smallest  doubt  of  its  being  the  plant  intended  by  Linnaeus,  and  we 
think  there  is  as  little  of  its  being  that  of  Loureiro,  notwithstanding  the  many  little  discrepancies  between 
his  account  of  it  and  ours.  Loureiro  states  that  his  plant  is  furnished  “ aculeis  multis,  sparsis,  solitariis, 
rectis,  brevibus;”  this  distinction  is,  however,  omitted  byDe  Candolle,  who  says  of  Loureiro’s  plant,  “ramis 
inermibus,”  and  rightly,  too,  for  it  appears  that  Loureiro  drew  up  this  part  of  his  character  to  suit  Pluck- 
net’s  Phyt.  t.  122.  f.  4,  which  he  quotes  as  a synonym,  but  which  is  an  East  Indian,  not  a Chinese  plant, 
and  more  allied  to  Zizyphus,  if  indeed  it  has  any  thing  to  do  with  this  natural  order.  Again,  Loureiro 
says,  “ folia  subcrenata,”  which  is  not  correct,  although  the  leaves,  from  the  strong  nerves  beneath,  do 
exhibit  a somewhat  undulated  margin.  His  “ calyx  5-dentatus,  minimus,”  is  obviously  a mistake  for  the 
small  hemisphaerical  tube ; while  his  “petala  10  lanceolata  sequalia  erecta,”  comprehend  both  the  calycine 
segments  and  the  petals,  the  latter  being  bis  “ interiora  quiuque  amplectentia  stamina.”  The  remainder  of 
his  description  coincides  with  our  plant.  We  ourselves  have  not  seen  the  fruit. — We  now  come  to  Poiret’s 
Rhamnus  lineatus,  which  De  Candolle  makes  distinct:  on  consulting  his  description,  all  he  says  of  the 
thorns  is,  “ les  stipules  forment,  a la  base  des  petioles,  de  petites  epines  tres-courtes  et  aigues and  these, 
although  we  agree  Avith  Linnseus  in  not  calling  them  thorns,  are  precisely  Avhat  we  have  seen.  He 
describes  the  flowers  as  solitary — “ solitaires  et  laterales  dans  I’aisselle  des  feuilles,”  and  Ave  have  occasionally 
observed  the  racemes  reduced  to  one  flower;  but  Ave  rather  suspect  that  part  of  his  character  to  be  made 
merely  to  accord  Avith  Burm.  Zeyl.  t.  88,  which  he  cites ; and  in  this  we  are  confirmed  by  what  follows  the 
above  extract — “ cependant  vers  I’extremite  des  branches  elles  forment  souvent  une  petite  grappe  presque 
terminate,”  as  in  our  specimens.  It  is  obvious  to  any  one  Avho  is  in  the  habit  of  consulting  the  Encyclopedie 
Methodique,  that  Poiret  and  Lamarck,  Avhen  they  had  not  sufficient  materials  of  their  oAvn,  borrowed  from 
other  authors  Avithout  acknoAvledgment : and,  in  the  present  instance,  not  only  is  this  true  Avith  regard  to  the 
solitary  flowers,  but  also  as  to  the  fruit,  the  description  of  Avhich,  “ une  petite  baie  arrondie,”  is  evidently 
taken  from  Burman’s  figure  just  quoted.  Poiret’s  analysis  of  the  flower,  and  description  of  the  leaves,  even 
to  the  little  terminal  bristle  or  mucro,  exactly  agree  Avith  what  is  noAv  before  us.  Thus,  Ave  trust,  Ave  have 
made  out  satisfactorily,  that  the  Rhamnus  lineatus  of  Linnaeus,  of  Loureiro,  and  of  Poiret,  are  all  one  and 
the  same  plant.  Of  the  older  synonyms  quoted  by  these  authors,  thei’e  can  be  no  doubt  of  Plukn.  t.  408.  f. 
.3,  Avhich  comes  from  China;  but,  as  Ave  have  already  stated,  Ave  cannot  refer  here  to  Plukn.  t.  122.  f.  4.  As 
to  Burm.  Zeyl.  t.  88,  the  Berchemia  Burmanniana  of  De  Candolle,  and  Rhamnus  Vitis-idaa  of  Burm.  El. 
Ind.,  it  has  nothing  to  do  Avith  this  tribe  of  plants.  Brongniart,  in  his  Memoir  on  the  Rhamnece,  has 
proposed  to  make  it  a new  genus,  near  to  Andrachne.  Moon,  in  his  Catalogue  of  Ceylon  Plants,  refers  it 
to  Phyllanthus  rhamnoides.  Dr.  Wight  and  Mr.  Arnott  (Flora  Penins.  Indire  Orient.)  consider  it  identical 
Avith  Plukn.  Phyt.  09.  f.  3,  and  both  as  referable  to  Phyllanthus  multijlorus  of  Klein’s  Herbarium,  and 
consequently  of  WilldenoAv.  Perhaps  Plukn.  t.  122.  f.  4,  is  a bad  representation  of  the  same  plant. — Messrs. 
Vachell  and  Millett  find  this  plant  about  Macao  and  the  adjacent  islands.

It  is  extremely  difficult  to  ascertain  whether  the  narrow  or  broad  segments  of  the  perianth  are  exterior, 
so  nearly  do  they  all  form  one  series : but  the  smaller  ones  will  be  found  to  form  a small  ridge  on  the  tube, 
by  their  union  to  it,  while  there  is  a slight  depression  or  channel  from  the  base  of  the  other  series : on  this 
account  we  have  viewed  the  former  as  the  exterior;  but,  whether  they  actually  be  so  or  not,  it  is  at  the 
base  of  the  smaller  segments  that  the  glands  are  situated,  the  stamens  being  placed  opposite  to  the  broader 
series.  De  Candolle  says  of  the  genus,  that  the  smaller  ones  are  the  interior,  and  opposite  the  stamens : 
perhaps  diffei'ent  species  vary  in  the  relative  size  of  the  two  series : but  if  not,  and  if  it  is  the  smaller  series 
that  is  constantly  exterior,  a supposition  confirmed  by  the  structure  of  Homalium,  then  the  stamens 
must  be  viewed  as  opposite  to  the  exterior  row,  as  in  that  genus.  This  plant  seems  very  closely  allied 
to  B.  axillaris',  l-wai.  111.  t.  412,  f.  1,  from  Madagascar,  where,  however,  the  spikes  of  flowers  are  much 
longer  than  the  leaves,  the  flowers  smaller,  and  the  leaves  almost  orbicular.  The  B.  padiflora  of  Mr.  Lind-

Macao.  Mr.  Millett. — Since  Roxburgh  says  of  this  plant,  “ seed  solitary,  attached  to  the  bottom  of  the 
capsule,  as  in  the  germ,  ovate,  invested  in  a complete  orange-coloured  aril : perisperm  none,”  with  which  our 
observations  accord,  we  trust  there  can  be  no  doubt  about  the  propriety  of  removing  this  species  from 
Cnestis  to  Connarus.  The  same  plant  has  been  collected  by  Dr.  Wight  in  the  peninsula  of  India,  so  that  its 
geographical  distribution  is  tolerably  extensive.  On  account  of  the  firm  and  almost  coriaceous  nature  of 
the  leaves,  the  nerves  and  venation  are  not  prominent,  by  which  character  it  may  be  readily  distino'uished 
from  C.  santaloides,  where  the  veins  are  prominent  and  reticulated  beneath. 

2.  Connarus  microphyllus ; foliolis  5-6-jugis  oblongo-lanceolatis  obtusis  glabris  vix 
coriaceis  supra  nitidis  junioribus  subtus  glaucis  venis  prominulis,  petiolis  raimdisque  glaber- 
rimis, racemis  axillaribus  laxis  paucifloris  folio  plus  dimidio  brevioribus. — Aegiceras  minus. 
Goertn.  Fruct.  1.  t.  46. 

This  species  is  very  closely  allied  to  C.  mimosoides  of  Vahl,  from  the  Nicobar  Islands,  which  has  also 
small  leaflets,  scarcely  an  inch  long : but  C.  mimosoides  is  described  with  from  9 to  1 1 pairs,  and  they  are 
said  to  be  deeply  emarginate.  In  Vahl’s  plant,  too,  the  younger  branches  appear  to  be  pubescent.  Although, 
therefore,  we  acknowledge  the  close  affinity  of  the  two,  we  cannot  unite  them.  The  figure  given  by 
Gaertner,  of  his  Aegiceras  minus,  so  entirely  accords  with  the  fruit  of  our  plant,  both  as  to  size  and  shape, 
that  we  have  quoted  it  without  hesitation : we  ought  to  remark,  however,  that  Roxburgh  has  pointed  out 
its  affinity  to  his  Cnestis  monadelphus,  the  fruit  of  which  is  considerably  larger ; and  Sprengel  has  quoted 
it  without  doubt,  under  C.  santaloides.  In  structure,  it  accords  perfectly  with  the  last  species,  and  with 
the  genus.

We  have  neither  seen  the  flowers  nor  the  germens,  the  only  specimen  in  the  Collection  having  the  latter

considerably  swelled,  in  which  we  have  only  been  able  to  trace  one  ovulum  suspended  from  a funiculus 
that  rises  from  the  very  base  of  the  cell.  If  there  be  really  only  one  ovulum  in  the  germen,  this  plant  must  not 
only  be  removed  from  Connarus,  but  from  the  tribe,  and  be  placed  near  to  Pistacia  ; in  which  case  it  may, 
with  the  P.  oleosa  of  Loureiro  and  De  Candolle,  be  referred  to  Dr.  Hamilton’s  genus,  Cussambium.  (Wern. 
Trans,  v.  5.  p.  256.)  Against  this,  however,  the  structure  of  the  advanced  germen  seems  considerably  to 
militate,  being  compressed,  and  evincing  a tendency  to  split  readily,  nor  does  the  epicarp  separate,  as  in  the 
case  of  Pistacia,  and  other  young  drupes.  We  are  therefore  inclined  to  suppose,  that  there  may  actually 
be  two  ovula  present  in  the  unimpregnated  germen,  and  we  place  it  in  Connarus.

This  species  is  exceedingly  common  at  Canton,  but  we  have  not  been  able  to  discover  that  it  is  noticed 
by  Loureiro.  It  approaches  very  close  to  C,  virgata,  Keen,  and  Roxb.  (n.  373  of  his  drawings  at  the  India 
House,)  or  C.  divaricata,  Graham,  in  Wallich’s  Catalogue  of  East  India  Plants.  The  stems  are  herbaceous, 
but  what  the  duration  of  the  plant  may  be  we  are  ignorant.  It  belongs  to  a smalj  groupe,  proposed  by  Mr. 
Brown  to  constitute  a genus,  Cyrtolobus ; but  as  no  character  of  it  is  yet  published,  we  have  no  means  of 
judging  of  its  validity,  and  therefore  leave  it  in  Crotalaria.  Clavidium  of  Desvaux,  (Ann.  Sc.  Nat.  v.  9.  p. 
407,)  another  genus,  consisting  of  species  removed  from  Crotalaria,  is  not  distinct  from  it,  or  it  must  com- 
prehend many  more  species  than  the  two  pointed  out  by  the  Author. 

1.  Melilotus  leucantha.  Koch. 

Dr.  Graham  (Wallich’s  List  of  E.  1.  Plants,  n.  5942,)  appears  perfectly  correct  in  uniting  this  with  M. 
altissima,  Thuill.  Perhaps,  therefore,  the  latter  name  ought  to  be  retained  as  the  oldest;  but  M.  leucantha 
is  not  only  more  expressive,  but  more  generally  adopted  by  Botanists.  In  like  manner  M.  Indica  is  also 
superseded ; it  being  no  way  distinct  from  M.  parviflora,  and  is  generally  diffused  throughout  the  world.

that  the  racemes  of  flowers  are  terminal  as  well  as  axillary.  We  ])lace  little  dependence  on  the  slightly 
angled  stems:  indeed,  if  Dr.  Wallich  he  correct  in  uniting  the  Hedysarum piirpureum  and  Desm.  angulatum, 
we  must  almost  suspect  some  error  in  the  description  given  by  De  Candolle,  as  we  have  never  observed  the 
stems  more  angled  than  is  usual  in  most  species  of  the  genus,  where  it  is  owing  to  the  petioles  being  slightly 
decurrent.  It  is  more  than  probable  that  several  other  species  ought  to  be  joined  with  it.

laevibus  calyce  aequalibiis.  G.  Don,  in  Mill.  Diet.  v.  2.  p.  307. 

We  cannot  but  consider  this  plant  as  distinct  from  Linneeus’  Hedysarumjunceum,  {Lespedeza  juncea,Vevs. 
and  De  Cand.)  which  has  the  leaves  linear  and  cuneate;  as  it  assuredly  is  from  the  L.  jimcea  of  Dr.  Wallich, 
Cat.  n.  5743,  of  which  we  possess  specimens  from  that  munificent  Naturalist.  Another  and  Siberian  species 
has  been  named  L.  Pallasii  by  Mr.  G.  Don,  in  his  edition  of  Miller’s  Dictionary,  although  he  does  not  appear 
to  be  aware  that  it  has  been  described  and  figured  by  Pallas,  (Itin.  App.  8.  p.  394.  t.  81.  f.  4,)  under  the  name 
of  Trifolium?  liedysaroides,  and  has  actually  been  introduced  into  the  genus  Trifolium,  in  De  Candolle’s  Pro- 
dromus,  v.  2.  p.  204.  n.  114.

We  think  there  is  no  doubt  of  our  plant  being  that  of  Loureiro;  although  De  Candolle,  who  examined  an 
original  specimen,  says  that  the  racemes  are  longer  than  the  leaves ; it  is  probable,  however,  that  he  only 
saw  specimens  in  fruit,  in  which  state  the  racemes  might  be  elongated,  although  in  the  specimens  we  possess, 
with  fully  formed  legumes,  the  racemes  are  still  shorter  than  the  leaf.

The  specimen  before  us  agrees  exactly  with  what  we  possess  from  Dr.  Wallich  under  the  same  name; 
but  we  cannot  perceive  any  constant  mark  to  allow  of  its  separation  from  C.flavus,  the  number  of  seeds  being 
very  apt  to  vary.

We  believe  this  to  be  Loureiro’s  Robinia  mitis;  and  as  he  mentions  that  it  is  a shrub  only  three  feet  high, 
while  the  P.  glabra  is  a lofty  tree,  we  have  been  induced  to  give  a character  that  may  more  effectually 
separate  the  two.

No  Inga,  hitherto  described,  appears  to  agree  with  this,  which  has  also  been  sent  us  by  Mr.  Millett.  The 
petiole  is  quadrangular,  the  pinnte  being  inserted  on  each  side  of  the  upper  angle,  on  the  sharp  edge  of 
which,  therefore,  are  seated  the  glands.  The  leaflets  resemble  those  of  what  we  possess  under  the  name  of 
1.  fagifolia.

If  the  figure  of  Rheede,Hort.  Mai.  6. 1. 12,  which  is  usually  referred  to,  be  considered  a correct  representa- 
tion, then  our  plant  must  be  a different  species : our  character  is  therefore  drawn  up  from  the  specimens  in  the 
Collection.  Willdenow  does  not  notice  the  gland  about  the  middle  of  the  common  peduncle,  otherwise 
his  description  accords  pretty  well.  Vahl,  however,  (Symb.  2.  p.  103.)  says,  “ glandula  in  petiolo  communi 
ad  basin  partialium  et  inter  singulum  par  pinnularum,”  which  seems  to  imply  that  he  had  observed  it. 

1.  Acacia  frondosa.  Willd.  Sp.  PL  v.  4<.  p.  1076? 

We  have  so  named  this  on  the  authority  of  our  friend  Dr.  Wight,  the  specimen  in  the  Collection  being 
exceedingly  imperfect.  We  have,  however,  quoted  Willdenow  with  doubt,  as  the  leaflets  are  smooth  beneath, 
and  only  pubescent  on  the  margin,  and  as  we  have  not  been  able  to  discover  a gland  between  the  lower 
pinnae ; but  we  observe  glands  between  the  lower  leaflets. 

1.  Caesalpinia  Millettii ; pinnis  7-jugis,  foliolis  15-18-jugis  oblongis  obtusis  basi  obliquis 
subtus  puberulis,  aculeis  parvis  subtus  inter  pinnas,  caule  superne  petiolisque  dense  pubes- 
centibus,  panicula  elongata,  calyce  glabro. 

Although  we  do  not  possess  the  fruit,  we  believe  this  species  will  be  found  to  belong  to  the  section 
“ Sappania.”  The  specimen  in  the  Collection  is  destitute  of  leaves,  and  is  only  in  bud,  so  that  we  have  had 
recourse  to  specimens  sent  long  ago  by  Mr.  Millett,  after  whom  we  have  named  it. 

2.  Ctesalpinia  Chinensis  ?;  pinnis  bijugis,  foliolis  bijugis  elliptico-oblongis  utrinque  obtusis

ultra  pinnarum  par  inferius  sparse  minute  aculeato. — Roxh.  FL  Ind.  2.  p.  361  ? 

Roxburgh’s  plant  had  not  flowered,  but  he  describes  the  stem  as  scandent,  (a  point  we  cannot  determine 
in  the  specimen  in  the  Collection)  and  the  “ pinnee  and  leaflets  of  from  two  to  three  pairs.”  In  the  two  or 
three  leaves  in  our  specimen,  they  are  constantly  two  pairs.  It  probably  belongs  to  the  section  “ NugariaP 
The  leaflets  are  precisely  as  in  C.  Sumatrana,  Roxb.

1.  Layia  emarginata.  (Tab.  XXXVIII.) 

Captain  Beechey’s  Collection  contains  only  the  foliage  and  ripe  frnit  of  this  plant ; but  we  have  the  good 
fortune  to  possess  from  Mr.  Millett,  specimens  in  flower,  and  are  thus  enabled  to  describe  the  plant  as  a 
genus  hitherto  unknown  to  authors.  It  is  indeed  probable  that  the  Macrotropis  of  De  Candolle,  {Anagyris 
faetida,  and  A.  inodora  of  Loureiro),  may  have  affinity  mth  this  plant ; but  the  rounded  many-seeded  fruit, 
and  the  “ folia  multijugata”  of  the  former,  forbid  the  two  to  be  united.

1.  Bauhinia  variegata.  Linn. 

In  the  specimen  before  us,  the  leaves  are  puberulous  beneath,  and  not  glabrous,  as  described  by  De 
Candolle;  at  the  same  time  we  think  it  must  behisvar  B.  Chinensis.  Roxburgh,  in  his  Indian  Flora,  vol. 

2.  p.  319,  says,  that  the  leaves  are  “ somewhat  villous  underneath,”  so  that  they  appear  to  vary  considerably 
in  that  respect.*  B.  Candida  seems  a very  closely  allied  species,  if,  indeed,  it  be  really  specifically  distinct. 
De  Candolle  places  the  two  in  very  different  sections,  but  perhaps  the  only  discrepancies  are  in  the  colour 
of  the  flowers,  and  the  presence  or  absence  of  sterile  filaments  between  the  five  fertile  stemens.

Wall.  Cat.  of  E.  Ind.  Plants,  n.  5792. 

Only  two  leaves  have  been  collected,  but  we  trust  there  is  no  doubt  as  to  the  identity  of  the  plant. 
From  Roxburgh’s  description,  it  seems  to  belong  to  De  Candolle’s  section,  Phanera.

One  of  the  most  elegant  and  delicate  of  the  genus.  Roxburgh  says  of  it,  “ Stem  scarcely  any  thing 
that  deserves  the  name,  but  many  long  slender  branches  and  branchlets  climb  and  spread  in  every  direction, 
to  an  extent  of  many  fathoms,  running  over  high  trees,”  &c.  De  Candolle’s  figure  and  description  represents 
the  fertile  stamens  shorter  than  the  petals : in  our  specimens,  they  are  sometimes  longer,  but  usually  about 
the  same  length.

Of  this,  only  a fragment  exists  in  the  Collection,  and  we  have  referred  it  to  the  B.  scandens,  chiefly  on 
account  of  the  rusty  coloured  pubescence  on  the  under  side  of  the  leaves,  notwithstanding  that  each  seg- 
ment has  only  three  nerves.  Much  confusion  prevails  about  this  species,  and  we  shall  therefore  make  no 
apology  for  transcribing  the  following  description  from  Rumphius:  “ Tenera  folia  complicata  sunt  instar  libri, 
interne  penitus  viridia  et  glabra  externe  quodvis  segmentum  per  sex  virides  costas  longitudinales  distinguitur, 
atque  ruffum,  et  ad  tactum  instar  serici  molle  est,  sine  notabili  tamen  lanugine,  et  quodammodo  splendens : 
seniora  folia  sese  aperiunt  seu  explicant,  suntque  superne  viridia,  inferne  gilva:  eadem  ruffa  lanugo  in 
petiolis  et  ramulis  supremis  observatur,  quoque  folia  sint  vetustiora,  eo  magis  inferne  glauca  sunt.”  De

Candolle  attributes  only  three  nerves  to  each  segment  of  the  leaf.  Roxburgh’s  B.  scandens  (FI.  Ind.  2.  p. 
326,)  has  glabrous  leaves  and  orbicular  petals,  and  is  now  called  B.  macrostachya  by  Dr.  WaUich,  in  his 
List  of  East  Indian  Plants,  n.  5774.

S.  corymbosa  of  Roxburgh,  we  believe  to  be  the  cultivated  state  of  this  plant,  more  especially  as  he 
says,  in  his  Flora  Indica,  that  it  is  a native  of  China ; he  adds,  however,  that  it  is  also  a native  of  the  Moun- 
tains north  of  India,  from  which  he  seems  to  confound  it  with  S.  callosa,  Thunb.  (the  S.  Bella  of  Sims, 
Bot.  Mag.  t.  2426.)  The  figure  among  his  drawings,  n.  949,  at  the  India  House,  is  not  like  either,  having 
neither  the  lateral  few-flowered  slender  umbels  of  the  one,  nor  the  corymbose  panicle  of  the  other.  Mr. 
Lindley  has  accordingly,  in  Wallich’s  List  of  E.  I.  Plants,  n.  701.  p.  21  and  248,  considered  it  as  pi’obably  a 
variety  of  S.  chamcedrifolia. 

1.  Rub  US  parvifolius  ; caule  prostrate  tereti,  ramis  tomentosis,  aculeis  iiumerosis  recurvis, 
foliis  pinnato-trifoliolatis  foliolis  subrotundis  basi  cuneatis  inciso-serratis  impari  S8epe  inciso-

It  is  singular  that  Seringe,  in  De  Candolle’s  Prodromus,  and  Mr.  G.  Don,  in  Miller’s  Dictionary,  both 
refer  to  B.  parvifolius  of  Thunberg,  when  no  such  plant  is  described  by  him.  We  have,  however,  brought 
hither  as  a synonym  R.  tripliyllus  of  that  Author,  on  the  authority  of  a specimen  from  Nagasaki  in  Japan,  in 
Mr.  Arnott’s  Herbarium,  from  Dr.  Fischer  of  St.  Petersburg,  and  agreeing  minutely  with  Thunberg’s 
description.  Linnieus’s  plant  was  given  him  by  Osbeck,  and  is  most  probably  therefore  from  China  ; but  he 
and  succeeding  Botanists  have  surely  erroneously  referred  to  Rumphius,  Herb.  Amb.  v.  5.  t.  47.  f.  1.  This 
last  species  has  ovato-lanceolate  leaves,  and  seems  to  be  what  Chamisso  and  Schlechtendal  have  described  as 
R.  Tagallus,  (Linnaea,  v.  2.  p.  9) : if,  however,  it  has  tomentose  leaves,  but  Rumphius  does  not  say  so, 
it  may  rather  form  a species  with  what  Thunberg  calls  R.  Idceus,  but  which  can  scarcely  be  the  same  with 
the  Europsean  plant.

— R.  alceffifolius.  Poir.  Encycl.  Meth.  v.  6.  p.  247. 

Dr.  Wallicli  proposes  to  unite  this  species  to  R.  riigosus,  as  a variety : the  shape  of  the  leaves  and  of  their 
lobes,  is,  however,  considerably  different.  In  cultivation  the  racemes  are  almost  abortive,  and  very  short ; 
but  in  the  wild  specimens  they  are  two  or  three  inches  long-.  It  is  probable  that  R.  Lambertianus  may  be 
a nearly  glabrous  variety,  but  we  are  not  acquainted  with  it.  Seringe,  in  addition  to  the  character  he  has 
given  of  it  in  De  Candolle’s  Prodromus,  ivrites : “ cette  espece  n’a  rien  qui  frappe  I’oeil,  mais  elle  me  parait 
se  distinguer  aux  lobes  de  ses  feuilles  cordiformes  assez  serablables  par  leur  grandeur  et  leur  circonference 
aux  feuilles  d’  Altliaa  officinalis:  Les  rameaux  sont  cylindriques,  comme  granuleux  par  une  poussiere 
flocconeuse  qui  leur  couvre Its  native  country  also  is  China. 

1.  Bosct  microphylla ; acnleis  ad  petioli  basin  rectis,  stipulis  angustissimis  infra  adnatis 
superne  divaricato-liberis,  foliolis  5-9  ellipticis  nitidis  glabris  argnte  serratis,  floribus  soli-

This  has  much  the  appearance  of  R.  bracteata,  but  we  have  not  been  able  to  perceive  the  involucral 
bracteas  which  characterise  the  section  to  which  that  species  belongs.

Although  we  have  retained  the'above  specific  name  for  this  species,  yet  we  entertain  very  great  doubts  as 
to  its  being  the  plant  intended  by  Linnaeus.  Since,  however,  Mr.  Liudley  has  paid  much  attention  to  the  subject, 
we  prefer  following  him  and  De  Candolle  to  changing  the  names  they  have  given.  Loureiro’s  Crataegus 
Indiea,  and  we  think  also  of  Linnaeus,  has  lanceolate  leaves,  and  belongs  to  R.  phaostemon  of  Lindley : while 
C.  rubra,  Lour,  we  have  referred  here,  our  specimens  having  generally  the  leaves  “ cuneiformi-ovata,”  as  that 
Author  describes.  The  R.  rubra,  Lindl.,  is  very  distinct.

The  shape  of  the  leaf  in  our  /3.  is  so  very  different  from  that  of  a.,  as  almost  to  justify  our  considering 
the  two  distinct  species.  We  were  inclined  to  refer  it  to  P.  Icevis  of  De  Candolle,  the  Cratagus  lavis  of 
Thunberg,  which  appears  to  have  the  leaves  of  the  same  shape  ; but  that  species  is  described  “ florum  umbella 
subsiraplici,”  which  cannot  at  all  apply  to  our  plant.  In  addition  to  these  two  states,  we  possess  also 
from  China,  a third,  from  the  late  Dr.  Livingstone,  (very  closely  allied  to  Ph.  Sieboldi,  of  (f.  Don  in  Miller’s 
'Dict.,ov  Masliilea  »S'te&oW«,  Blume,)  which  may  be  thus  characterised; — S.  obovata;  foliis  cuneato-obovatis 
obtusis  e basi  ad  apicem  serrulatis,  panicula  terminali  corymbosa  laxa,  pedicellis  pubescentibus  calyce  longiori- 
bus. — The  leaves  are  all  strongly  emarginate  in  our  specimen,  but  this  may  perhaps  be  accidental : they 
are  also  furnished  beneath  with  very  dark  brown  glands ; an  appearance  which  may  have  been  produced 
by  the  specimens  having  been  sent  to  this  country  in  water  saturated  with  salt,  since  neither  of  the  other 
varieties  has  the  glands  so  deeply  coloured. — We  possess  Eriobotrya  Japonica  from  Mr.  Millett.

Tbe  interior  of  the  g-ermen  is  marked  with  eight  or  ten  ridges,  corresponding  with  the  numher  of  ovules ; 
these  probably  become  more  apparent  as  the  fruit  swells,  giving  the  appearance  which  Louriero  describes  in 
rather  anomalous  language,  “ bacca  8-locularis,  monosperma.”  It  is,  however,  only  one-celled,  and  one- 
seeded,  as  in  the  rest  of  the  genus.  The  flower-buds  are  about  the  size  of  the  seed  of  Vida  lathyroides.

The  whole  head  of  flowers  is  scarcely  so  large  as  a small  pea,  and  consists  of  at  least  forty  or  fifty  flowers, 
so  minute  as  to  render  their  structiwe  difficult  of  determination.  The  torus  appears  to  be  grooved,  as  in  the 
last  species,  and  the  germen  one-celled : but  it  is  probable  that  these  characters  are  common  to  most  of  the 
genus,  at  least  we  have  not  been  able  to  detect  any  true  dissepiments  in  such  species  as  we  have  examined. 
The  interior  of  the  germen  is,  however,  marked  with  ridges,  which  at  first  sight  might  induce  one  to  suppose 
that  it  contained  more  than  one  cell.

The  petals  appear  to  be  distinct,  hence  our  doubts  as  to  the  genus ; toAvhich  many  species  are  now  referred, 
of  which  the  petals  do  not  fall  off  like  a calyptra.  The  tube  of  the  calyx  is  obovate,  with  four  angles : 
the  limb  is  four-lobed,  the  undivided  part  being  lined  with  the  torus ; lobes  ovate,  slightly  carinate.  Stigma 
simple.  The  leaves  are  from  half-an-inch  to  an  inch  long ; although  Ave  have  described  them  as  ovate,  yet 
they  vary  occasionally  to  oblong,  to  cuneato-oblong,  and  even  to  cuneato-obovate : we  have  always  found 
them  obtuse.

Our  plant  agrees  much  better  with  the  description  given  by  Loureiro,  than  with  the  character  of  De  Can- 
dolle. It  ranks,  as  a species,  very  near  to  S.  Zeylanicum,  and  S.politum,  Wall.,  from  which  tAVO  it  principally 
differs  by  the  short,  not  elongated,  tube  of  the  calyx.  The  berry  appears  to  be  Avhite.  The  specimen  in 
the  Collection  is  destitute  of  floAver  and  fruit,  our  character  of  these  being  taken  from  specimens  sent  by 
Mr.  Millett  and  Mr.  Vachell.  We  possess,  by  the  liberality  of  the  same  gentlemen,  some  other  species,

Roxburgh  iu  his  Flora  Indica,  introduces  this  species,  both  under  Aiton’s  and  Loureiro’s  names;  but 
this,  we  think,  is  obviously  a mistake  of  the  printer,  as  the  one  is  introduced  without  synonyms,  and  the 
other  without  a specific  character.

The  number  of  flowers  varies  from  one  to  three  on  the  peduncle,  and  the  shape  of  the  fruit  is  scarcely 
more  constant  than  in  a common  pear,  so  that  no  character  is  left  to  separate  this  and  P.  pyriferum,  except 
the  larger  size  of  the  whole  plant  in  the  latter. — We  have  also,  from  Mr.  Millett,  P.  pumilum,  Vahl,  which 
leads  us  to  suspect,  that  P.  caninum  of  Loureiro,  is  referable  to  that  plant;  the  leaves, however,  are  decidedly 
opposite  and  entire,  not  alternate  and  serrated,  as  he  describes  them.

One  mutilated  specimen  of  a plant  of  this  Order  is  in  the  Collection,  of  the  genus  of  which  we  are 
uncertain. — It  may  be  thus  described : — 

Caulis  fruticosus,  ramosus,  teres,  carnosulus,  ad  foliorum  insertiones  nodulosus.  Folia  opposita,  exstipu- 
lata,  lineari-lanceolata,  acuta,  carnosa,  basi  in  petiolum  angustata;  petiolo  basi  dilatato  semiamplexicauli. 
Panicula  terminalis,  subcorymbosa.  Calyx  5-partitus ; segmentis  oblongis,  obtusis,  membranaceis.  Corolla 

Squammulce  5,  oblongm,  parvse,  ad  basin  sepalorum,  iisque  oppositse.  Filamenta  15?  (an 

potius  10?)  quinque  ante  squamraulas,  csetera  ad  latera  earuin  afifixa.  Capsula  uuilocularis,  trivalvis,  ab 
apice  at  basin  dehiscens.  Semina  pluriraa  placentae  ceutrali  funiculis  capillaribus  brevibus  adnexa,  plani- 
uscula,  subreniformi-orbicularia,  tuberculata. 

The  seeds  not  being  perfectly  mature,  we’canuot  ascertain  their  internal  structure : the  albumen  appears 
farinaceous.  On  removing  some  of  the  scales  from  the  bottom  of  the  calyx,  one  filament  is  seen  to  be 
constantly  attached  to  them  in  front,  and  another  at  each  side,  hence  we  presume  the  number  of  filaments 
to  be  fifteen : but  in  other  of  the  scales,  we  could  not  observe  the  lateral  filaments ; and  in  some,  we  only 
saw  a filament  at  one  of  the  sides;  hence  we  doubt  whether  the  complete  number  might  not  be  ten,  five  oppo- 
site to  the  scales  and  sepals,  and  five  alternating  with  them.  But  whether  all  of  them,  or  which  of  them  bear 
anthers,  we  could  not  ascertain,  they  having  all  dropped  off.  In  some  points,  this  plant  approaches  to  Talinum. 

Of  the  Order  Paronychiem,  Mr.  Millett  and  Mi’.  Vachell  find  the  Polycarpcea  corymhosa,  Lam.

This  species  seems  only  to  differ  from  K.  Aigyptiaca  by  the  yellow  not  orange  coloured  flowers,  which 
is  surely  an  insufficient  character.

We  trust  there  can  be  uo  doubt  of  this  being  a true  species  of  Itea.  In  some  points  it.Approaches  to

surrounded  by  an  obscurely  lobed  concave  fleshy  disc,  and  has  lately  been  referred,  with  doubt,  to  Wallich’s 
new  and  undescribed  genus,  Kurrimia,  among  the  Celastrinece.  The  present  does  not  appear  to  be  rare  at 
Canton,  but  we  do  not  find  it  in  Lom-eiro’s  Flora  Cochinchensis.  Mr.  Lindley,  some  years  ago,  according 
to  a specimen  in  Dr.  Hooker’s  Herbarium,  considered  it  as  perhaps  a species  of  Astranthus,  but  this  opinion 
was  probably  given  more  from  the  general  habit  of  the  plant,  than  from  an  examination  of  the  flowers. 
Itea  Rosmarinus,  Roem.  and  Schult.,  or  Cedrela  Rosmai'mus,  Lour.,  has  surely  nothing  to  do  with  this  genus.

We  believe  there  can  be  no  doubt  of  this  being  the  plant  of  which  Louriero  says : “ Nascitnr  prope  Can- 
tonem  in  Sinis  hujus  plantae  (Aralice  octophyllm)  varietas,  ni  velis  species,  caule,  foliis  et  habitu  florum

that  latter  character.  The  specimens  which  we  possess  from  Mr.  Millett,  however,  have  the  flowers  unex- 
panded; that  in  Capt.  Beechey’s  Collection  consists  only  of  a leaf.  The  “ calyx  truncatus”  and  “ stigmata 
sessilia”  obviously  point  out  the  genus  Paratropia,  rather  than  Aralia.  As  a species,  it  comes  very  near 
to  P.  pergamacea,  De  Cand.

This  has  scarcely  at  all  the  appearance  of  a Viburnum,  from  which  genus  the  presence  of  a style  seems 
essentially  to  distinguish  it.  Indeed,  were  it  not  that  we  have  been  unable  to  discover  any  trace  of  stipules, 
it  would  seem  to  rank  nearer  the  Rubiacecc:  and  it  had  been  previously  marked  in  our  Herbaria,  under  the 
MSS.  name  of  Coffea  monosperma.  Hook,  et  Arn.

prominulis  ad  axillas  glabris,  venis  transversalibus  numerosis  conspicuis,  petiolis  pedunculisque 
brevibus  glabris,  corymbo  terminali. 

This  is  closely  allied  to  V.  premnaceum.  Wall.:  the  leaves  have  the  same  kind  of  nervation  ; but  in  the 
Indian  plant  we  observe,  besides  the  characters  given  by  De  Candolle,  (Prodr.  v.  4.  p.  325,)  that  the  axillae 
of  the  nerves  are  furnished  with  a tuft  of  short  hairs,  which  are  totally  absent  in  the  Chinese  plant. 

We  possess  a third  species  of  Viburnum,  as  far  as  we  can  judge  from  the  very  young  flowers,  from  Mr. 
Millett,  which  may  be  thus  distinguished; — FP  Chinense;  foliis  membranaceis  lato-ellipticis  acutis  grosse

We  first  became  acquainted  with  this  species  by  specimens  sent  from  the  Mauritius  by  Mr.  Telfair  to  Dr. 
Hooker;  but  it  is  only  there  probably  in  a state  of  cultivation.  It  is  closely  allied  on  the  one  hand  to  L. 
confusa,  De  Cand,  from  which  it  dilfers  by  the  leaves  being-  smooth  above,  and  the  short  peduncles;  and 
on  the  other  to  L.  Leschenaultii,  W.alL,  which,  however,  is  said  to  have  ovate  suheordate  ciliated  leaves,  and 
villous  branches.  This,  with  many  others  in  the  section  “ Nintooa”  of  De  Candolle,  might  with  justice  be 
referred  to  the  old  L.  Japonica,  a species  which  has  been  perhaps  too  much  dismembered.

The  specimen  before  us  has  the  leaves  considerably  broader  than  is  figured  in  the  Bot.  Magazine,  which

Notwithstanding  such  high  authorities,  we  can  scarcely  consider  this  as  distinct  from  M.  frondosa:  indeed 
the  principal  point  of  difference  appears  to  be  that,  in  the  latter,  the  leaves  and  panicle  are  described  as  -villous. 
Some  Authors  add  that  in  M.  frondosa  the  tube  of  the  corolla  is  scarcely  longer  than  the  calycine  segments, 
while  in  M.  pubescens  it  is  more  than  twice  as  long ; and  this  may  be  true  if  the  figure  in  Burman,  Zeyl. 
t.  76,  whei-e  it  is  so  represented,  be  considered  the  type  of  the  species  and  where  the  flowers  are  described 
as  red;  but  then  if  the  BeUlla  of  Rheede,  Hort.  Mai.  v.  2.  t.  18,  (not  17,  as  quoted  by  Roxburgh,  Wallich, 
and  De  Candolle,)  be  the  same,  the  calycine  segments  are  remarkably  short  in  comparison  with  the  tube  of 
the  corolla.  The  Belilla  of  Rheede  is,  however,  probably  distinct,  and  the  same  may  be  said  of  M.  Suma- 
trana,  Roth.,  although  we  suspect  there  is  a mistake  regarding  the  red  coloured  corolla  in  both  the  plant  of 
Rheede  and  of  Burman.  After  a careful  comparison  of  Rumphius’  figure,  in  the  Herb.  Amb.  v.  4.  t.  51,  and  of 
his  description  of  his  Folium  Principissce  angustifolium,  we  feel  inclined  to  refer  it  here  rather  than  to  M. 
glabra,  under  which  it  is  quoted  hy  Vahl  and  De  Candolle.  Perhaps  also  M.  frondosa,  Roxb.  Hort.  Bengh. 
and  FI.  Ind.  v.  2.  p.  557,  as  well  as  of  Roxb.  et  Wall.  FI.  Ind.  v.  2.  p.  227,  Wall.  List  of  E.  I.  Plants,  n,  6250,

with  M.  pubescens,  which,  in  cultivation  in  this  country,  has  frequently  the  whole  underside  of  the  leaves

The  specimen  befoi’e  us  is  no  doubt  very  imperfect,  only  exhibiting  the  upper  part  of  a branch ; but  not- 
withstanding that  the  leaves  are  ovate  and  somewhat  obtuse,  we  believe  it  to  be  the  same  species  that 
Louriero  had  in  view.  We  have  not  seen  more  than  two  flowers  in  the  corymb;  but  it  is  probable  that 
better  specimens  may  exhibit  more.  As  to  R.  longiflora,  figured  by  Lamarck,  and  described  by  Roxburgh, 
under  Posoqueriq  longiflora,  we  can  discover  no  difference,  except  that  the  leaves  and  flowers  are  slightly 
larger,  and  the  latter  more  numerous.  De  Candolle  says  of  this  genus,  “ Antherse  intra  faucem  sessiles 
inclusae;”  but  in  several  species  the  anthers  are  exserted,  as  in  R,  longispina,  nutans,  floribunda,  and  liorrida, 
in  addition  to  the  present  species ; and  in  R.  fasciculata  and  rigida  they  are  exserted  for  one-half  and  two- 
thirds  of  their  length.  From  Gardenia,  however,  to  which  it  is  most  nearly  allied,  (not  Posoqueria,  as  is 
stated  by  mistake  in  Do  Candolle’s  Prodr.  v.  4.  p.  385,)  it  differs  by  the  bilocular  germen  and  fruit. 

1.  Cwflo,  corymhosa ; fniticosa,  foliis  lanceolato-oblongis  nitidis,  corymbis  terminalibus, 
calycis  lobis  quinque  tubimi  corollm  fere  seqiiantibiis,  stigmate  indiviso,  capsulis  maturis 
4-spermis.  De  Cand.  Prodr.  v.  4.  yj.  394. — Webera  corymbosa.  Willd.  Sp.  PL  v.  1 p.  1224. 
Bot.  Reg.  t.  126. — Canthium  corymbosum.  Pers. — Cupi.  Rheede,  Mai.  v.  2.  t.  23. 

The  specimens  in  the  Collection  have  the  leaves  narrower  and  more  acuminate  than  in  the  figure  in  the 
Hort.  Malabaricus,  which  exactly  agrees  with  specimens  we  have  received  from  Dr.  Wight,  from  the  Pen- 
insula of  India ; but  we  do  not  consider  them  as  a distinct  species. — Another  Cupia,  as  it  appears  to  be,  from 
the  habit  and  appearance  of  the  fruit,  (which,  however,  contains  several  seeds,)  we  have  received  from 
Professor  Lindley,  and  the  late  Dr.  Livingstone.  It  may  be  called  C.  mollissima ; fruticosa,  foliis  lanceolatis 
utrinque  sed  subtus  prajcipue  pilis  brevibus  numerosissimis  mollissimis,  calycis  lobis  brevibus  obtusissimis, 
friictibus  pubescentibus  polyspermis.— The  hairs  which  clothe  every  part  of  the  plant  are  of  a rusty  hue. 

1.  Hedy  Otis  macrostemon ; suffiruticosa?  ramosa,  ramis  pubescentibus,  foliis  breviter 
petiolatis  ovato-lanceolatis  subtus  inolliter  pubescentibus  supra  nitidulis  scabriusculis  venis 
longitudinalibus  simplicibus  parallelis,  pedunculis  axillaribus  solitariis  folio  multo  breviori- 
bus  multifloris,  floribus  capitatis,  staminibus  longe  exsertis,  capsula  hirsuta  apice  libera. 

This  approaches  very  closely  to  H.  ulmifolia.  Walk,  also  to  H.  lineata  of  Roxburgh;  but  as  far  as  we 
can  judge  from  the  character  given  in  the  Flora  Indica,  it  is  quite  distinct.  The  specimen  in  the  Collection  is 
only  in  fruit.  We  are  so  fortunate  as  to  possess  beautiful  flowering  specimens  from  Mr.  Millett,and  also  like- 
. wise,  another  species  with  a habit  not  very  dissimilar,  which  may  be  characterised  thus : — H.  uncinella  ; suffru- 
ticosa  glabra,  ramis  subsimplicibus,  foliis  petiolatis  oblongo-lanceolatis  venis  longitudinalibus  subsimplicibus 
parallelis,  floribus  axillaribus  terminalibusque  numerosis  glomerato-verticillatis  subsessilibus,  capsula  turbinata 
glabra  tubo  calycis  contracto  ej  usque  dentibus  subulatis  recurvato-uncinatis  longe  ciliatis  coronata  septicida! 
bipartibili ; but  this  may  perhaps  form  the  type  of  a new  genus,  to  which,  judging  from  the  habit,  for  our 
specimens  are  not  sufficiently  advanced,  it  is  probable  that  H.  ceplialopliora.  Brown  in  Wall.  List  of  E.  Ind. 
Plants,  n.  842,  may  belong.  In  addition  to  these,  we  have  also  from  China,  the  H.  angustifolia,  Cham, 
and  Schlecbt. 

1.  Canthium  Chinense ; fruticosum  spinosum,  foliis  obovatis,  floribus  sessilibus  hirsutis 
peutandris,  fructu  biloculari.  De  Cand. — Pers.  Syn.  1.  p.  200.  De  Cand.  Prodr.  v.  4.  p. 
475. — Gardenia  spinosa.  Thunb. 

There  is  only  one  specimen  in  the  Collection,  and  that  so  imperfect,  as  to  prevent  our  solving  the  doubts 
about  its  being  properly  referred  to  this  genus.

Calycis  limbus  Iseviter  5-dentatus,  dentibus  obtusis.  Corolla  tubus  subcampanulatus,  fauce  intus  uiveo-

fissuris  lobulatum.  Embryo  parvus,  Iseviter  curvatus,  prope  seminis  basin  situ^. 

The  above  character  and  description  will,  we  trust,  distinguish  this  from  the  species  of  Gi'umilea  already 
described,  and  others  which  we  have  reason  to  believe  are  still  retained  under  Psychotria.  Perhaps  even 
the  generic  character,  depending  principally  on  the  structure  of  the  albumen,  is  not  sufficient ; and  it  is 
considerably  invalidated  by  the  following  species  of  Psychotria. 

1.  Psychotria  scandens ; caule  lignoso  scandente  radicante  ramoso,  foliis  breviter 
petiolatis  oblongis  obtusiusculis  basi  attenuatis  coriaceis  glabris,  stipulis  ovatis  obtusis  in- 
terfoliaceis  deciduis,  corymbo  terminal!  subsessili  (vel  foliis  supremis  deciduis  pedunculato)

subgloboso  elevato  styli  basin  cingente,  stigmate  capitate  subbilobo,  fructu  ellipsoideo, 
albumine  subruminato ! 

Calycis  limbus  5-dentatus ; dentibus  brevibus  obtusis.  Corolla  campanulato-infundibuliformis : tubus 
brevis ; faux  intus  villo  albo  copioso  instructa.  Bacca  oblonga,  exsiccatione  costata,  dentibus  calycinis 
coronata,  dipyrena.  Pyrence  plano-convexae,  extus  S-sulcatae.  Albumen  5-sulcatum,  laeviter  ruminatum, 
at  nec  rimis  nee  fissuris  lobulatum. 

This  species  foVms  a small  groupe  with  P.  laxifiora,  leucocarpa,  and  sarmentosa  of  Blume,  and  P.  serpens, 
Linn.  The  three  first  of  these  we  have  not  seen,  the  last  we  only  possess  in  flower.  If  the  seeds  of  all 
prove  to  have  a ruminated  albumen,  they  might  be  judiciously  removed  to  Grumilea.  We  shall  here  add, 
from  specimens  from  Canton,  the  following  description  of  P.  serpens,  Linn,  to  what  De  Candolle  (Prodr.  v. 
4.  p.  519,)  has  given: — Calyx  breviter  obtuse  5-dentatus.  Corolla  campanulato-infundibuliformis : faux

The  specimens  in  the  Collection  are  destitute  of  flowers  and  fruit. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  we  possess,  from  Mr.  Vachell,  Bigelowia  lasiocarpa,  Wight  and  h.m.{Vachell,

ramis  terctibus,  foliis  oblongo-lanceolatis  utrinque  attenuatis  coriaceis  inferioribus  brevi-petiolatis  superiori- 
bus  sessilibus,  nervis  paucis  distantibus  curvatis,  stipulis  persistentibus  triangularibus  acuminatis  coriaceis

tubo  dentes  calycinos  plus  duplo  superante,  fauce  pilosa. — This,  like  its  allies,  has  either  the  stamens  short 
and  the  style  much  protruded,  or  the  stamens  exserted  and  the  style  short ; in  both  cases  the  latter  is  fili- 
form, and  the  stigma  thick  and  bifid. 

We  have  also  received  from  Mr.  Millett,  Hedyotis  intermedia,  Wight  and  Arn.  (Prod.  FI.  Penins.  Ind.  Or. 

1.  p.  415),  two  species  of  Spermacoce,  (one  of  whieh  is  S.  articularis,  L.)  Pcederia  foetida,  L.,  Ixora  blanda, 
Ker,  and  Morinda  umbellata,  Linn.  The  specimens  of  the  latter  present  both  oblong,  lanceolate,  and 
obovate  apieulate  leaves  on  the  same  branch,  tending  to  prove  more  strongly  the  necessity  of  conjoining  with 
it  M.  parvifolia,  Barth,  and  M.  tetrandra.  Jack,  as  has  been  proposed  by  Wight  and  Arn.  (1.  c.  p.  420.)

Under  this  Order  we  shall  merely  here  enumerate  the  species.  Some  of  them  we  have  reeeived  from 
Dr.  Wallich,  but  as  Prof.  De  Candolle  is  at  present  engaged  with  the  fifth  volume  of  his  “ Prodromus,” 
in  which  all  the  East  Indian  Composites  are  to  be  described,  we  have  thought  it  better  to  omit  a speeific 
character  of  these,  than  to  attempt  to  frame  one  which  would  be  quite  insufficient  to  distinguish  the  plant 
from  its  allies,  unless  we  had  possessed  them  likewise.  We  have  been  indueed  to  do  this  the  more  readily, 
because  the  specimens  in  the  Collection  of  Chinese  CompositcB  are  little  else  than  fragments.

Of  this  we  have,  either  in  the.  Collection,  or  from  Mr.  Millett,  three  forms ; one,  the  a of  De  Candolle, 
agreeing  with  Burm.  Th.  Ze3d.  t.  90.  f.  I.,  and  Rumph.  herb.  Amb,  6.  t.  14.  f.  1. : another  has  the  leaves 
much  narrower,  agreeing  in  that  respect  with  De  Candolle’s  var.  y (1.  c.)  but  differing  by  being  as  pubescent 
as  in  the  common  form;  a third  has  the  leaves  still  narrower  and  more  entire,  approaching  to  V.  leptophylla, 
DC.  (1.  c.)  but  differing  by  their  being  obtuse.

We  have  likewise  received  this  from  Mr.  Vachell;  it  is  No.  210.  b.  of  his  plants,  as  distributed  by  Professor 
Henslow.  The  leaves  are  somew'hat  fleshy  and  very  pubescent:  sometimes,  however,  the  pubescence  wears 
off,  and  exhibits  the  under  side  elegantly  marked  with  numerous  slender  waved  purplish  veins.

This  species  we  haVe  also  received  from  Mr.  Millett  and  Mr.  Vachell,  (No.  208.)  The  achenia,  although 
compressed,  have  a rib  or  angle  along  the  back,  so  that  they  may  be  almost  considered  as  3-angled:  but  the 
plant  does  not  differ  in  any  other  respect  from  Verhesina,  as  defined  by  Lessing. 

We  have  received  from  Canton  the  following  other  species  of  Compositm  from  Mr.  Millett  and  Mr.Vachell:

have  not  yet  seen  the  character  of  M.  Javanica,  and  hence  our  doubts.

This  comes  nearest  A.  Chilensis,  N.  ab  E.  Syn.  Ast.p.  123,  but  the  leaves  are  quite  smooth  and  glabrous, 
and  the  scales  of  the  anthodium  are  acute. 

1.  Doellingeria  . ...  n.  sp. 

Allied  to  D.scabra,  N.  ab  E.  Syn.  Ast.p.  183;  it  seems,  however,  to  be  quite  distinct,  by  the  inflorescence 
being  a somewhat  simple  corymb,  the  pappus  white,  and  leaves  not  serrated.

There  is  only  one  specimen,  destitute  of  both  corolla  Kod.  stamens.  The  general  appearance,  particularly 
of  the  inflorescence,  is  that  of  dcaArdisia,  but  there  is  almost  nothing  that  can  be  termed  a style.  We  have 
not  been  able  to  see  a central  free  placenta,  but  on  the  contrary  the  ovules  hang  from  the  top  of  the  cavity, 
which  is  almost  divided  into  two  cells  by  the  introflexed  margins  of  the  two  carpels  of  which  the  germen  is 
composed.  Indeed,  it  is  probable  not  only  that  the  plant  does  not  belong  to  Myrsine,  but  not  even  to  the 
same  Natural  Order.  In  some  points  it  approaches  Ilicinea. 

From  Mr.  Vachell  (n.  146)  we  have  Ardisia  lentiginosa,  and  from  Mr.  Millett  another  species  allied

segments  are  about  as  long  as  the  tube  of  the  corolla;  but  in  Rheede’s  figure  (Hort.  Mai.  6.  t.  54.)  they  are 
much  shorter  in  proportion  than  in  the  plant  before  us.  J.  hirsmtum,  L.  and  J.  arborescens,  Rich,  are  so

There  can  be  no  doubt,  we  believe,  of  this  being  a genus  distinct  from  any  previously  described.  It  is

We  have  named  this  genus  in  honour  of  Mr.  Potts,  who  sent  to  Europe  many  interesting  plants  from 
Canton  and  its  vicinity.  Both  it  and  the  preceding  belong  to  the  same  subdivision  with  Isonema,  Vallaris, 
Parsonsia,  and  Lyonsia;  from  the  two  last  both  differ  by  the  very  short  filaments,  from  Isonema  by  the 
presence  of  hypogynous  scales  or  an  annular  disk,  and  from  Vallaris  by  the  filaments  being  simple  at  the 
apex.  The  insertion  of  the  stamens  and  many  other  characters  readily  distinguish  them  from  each  other.

We  have  restored  the  old  specific  name  of  divaricatus,  Loureiro’s  description  leaving  no  doubt  about  this 
being  the  plant  he  had  in  view.  We  agree  M’ith  Dr.  Graham  in  thinking  it  a very  distinct  species  from  S. 
dichotomus,  a plant  with  which  Nerium  scandens.  Lour.  Cochin,  v.  1.  p.  143,  and  N.  caudatum,  Roxb.  FI. 
Ind.  V.  2.  p.  9.  appear  identical.  In  the  native  specimens  the  peduncles. rarely  bear  more  than  two  or  three 
fiowers.  (S',  divaricatus  of  Wallich  is  probably  a different  species. 

1.  Tabernsemontana  Lour.  Cochin,  v.  1.  p.  145.^ 

The  leaves  are  of  a thinner  texture  than  in  T.  persicariafolia,  Jacq.,  to  w’hich  the  only  specimen  in  the 
Collection  seems  allied:  the  peduncles  have  only  about  three  flowers.

floris  calycibusque  pubescentibus,  bracteis  minutis  oblongis. 

This  is  a true  Tabernamontana,  but  certainly  not  among  those  described  by  Loureiro,  nor,  indeed,  have 
we  been  able  to  find  it  under  any  other  genus  in  his  work.  We  possess  T.  coronaria,  Willd.  from  Mr.  Millett.

Loureiro’s  plant  was  observed  only  on  the  eastern  coast  of  Africa,  and  he  states  that  he  had  never  seen  it 
in  India  or  China;  his  description,  however,  seems  to  accord.

We  can  perceive  no  difference  between  Roxburgh’s  plant  and  that  from  China.  We  have  asserted  it  to 
be  a climber  on  Roxburgh’s  authority,  as  our  specimens  are  not  of  sufficient  length  to  enable  us  to 
determine  that  point  ourselves.  It  is  remarkable  that  it  should  not  have  been  observed  by  Loureiro,  par- 
ticularly as  from  Roxburgh’s  description  it  appears  to  be  a very  large  plant  “ climbing  over  trees,”  &c.

We  have  named  this  species  in  honour  of  our  friend  Dr.  Wight,  who  has  studied  the  Indian  genera  of  this 
difficult  Natural  Order  with  peculiar  zeal,  and  from  whom  we  have  derived  much  assistance  in  ascertain- 
ing the  Chinese  species.  The  genus  was  instituted  for  the  Asclepias  longistigma  of  Roxburgh,  (FI.  Ind.  t. 
•2.  p.  46,)  which  differs  from  the  Chinese  plant  by  having  the  leaves  much  broader,  and  the  lacinula  of  the 
coronal  leaflets  shorter  than  the  leaflets.  Our  description  is  entirely  derived  from  specimens  received  direct 
from  China  from  Mr.  Vachell  and  Mr.  Millett;  the  only  individual  in  the  Collection  being  destitute  of  flowers, 
and  having  but  two  or  three  leaves,  may  perhaps  be  something  different.

We  possess  specimens  from  Dr.  Wight  from  the  peninsula  of  India,  agreeing  so  well  with  the  Chinese 
plant,  that  we  consider  them  the  same.  In  the  Chinese  individual  the  leaves  are  slightly  narrower 
and  less  pubescent  beneath,  but  even  in  Indian  specimens  that  character  is  exceedingly  variable.  We 
have  only  two  other  Aselepiadece  from  Canton,  but  they  are  not  among  Captain  Beechey’s  Collection :

Pedicularis,  from  which  it  is  separated  by  the  corolla  and  calyx.  In  habit  it  is  not  allied  to  any  genus  with

Loureiro  says  that  the  stems  are  terete  and  glabrous,  but  the  remainder  of  his  character  appears  to  agree 
very  well  with  the  plant  before  us.  The  whole  is  about  a foot  or  a foot  and  a half  high;  the  stem,  although 
herbaceous,  is  in  some  specimens  of  so  hard  a nature  at  the  base,  that  we  suspect  the  plant  to  be  perennial.

tinct, it  may  be  thus  described : — Glabriuscula;  foliis  petiolatis  oblongo-lanceolatis  basi  apice  attenuatis; 
spicis  pedunculatis,  elongatis,  cylindraceis ; flores  inferiores  discreti,  superiores  approximati,  summi  abortivi 
bracteolffiformes ; stylus  gracilis,  stigma  bifidum  ovarium  pluri-ovulatum;  utriculus  l-sperrnus;  semen  com- 
pressum,  nitidum,  atrum,  cum  aliisque  abortivis.  But  as  we  have  already  remarked,  we  prefer  considering 
this  as  a mere  form  of  C.  cristata.

We  refer  the  Chinese  plant  here  although  there  are  some  small  points  of  difference,  principally  on 
account  of  its  entire  leaves,  and  panicled  inflorescence  of  long  and  almost  leafless  spikes.  The  leaves 
(we  have  only  seen  the  upper  ones,)  are  elliptical,  obtuse,  and  mucronate ; the  achenium  is  even  on  the  sur- 
face, shining,  and  horizontal,  as  in  the  true  species  of  Chenopodium.

Professor  Nees  VonEsenbeck,  in  the  restricted  generic  character  which  he  proposes,  says  that  the  three 
inner  stamina  alone  bear  stipitate  glands ; we,  however,  have  sometimes  found  both  the  inner  series  furnished 
with  them,  exhibiting,  altogether,  twelve  glands.  Roxburgh,  in  his  FI.  Ind.  at  p.  820,  confirms  this : 
“ Nectarial  glands  from  six  to  sixteen,  shortly  pedicelled,  oval,  peltate,  alternate  with  the  filaments,  but  three 
times  shorter.”

We  agree  with  Roxburgh,  that  Tomex  Japonica  is  not  distinct  from  this  species;  and  though  Nees  Von 
Esenbeck  keeps  them  so,  he  doubts  if  they  ought  not  to  be  regarded  as  mere  varieties.

Such  are  the  only  synonyms  we  are  disposed  to  adduce  here;  almost  all  the  others  cpioted  in  the  Botanical 
Magazine  belong  to  the  Ceylon  plant,  which  is  that  described  in  Fl.  Zeylanica,^.  151.  n.  321,  consequently,  we 
presume,  of  Hermann’s  Herbarium,  and  therefore,  the  original  N.  distillatoria  of  Linnaeus.  Lamarck,  and, 
following  him,  Brongniart,  have  given  to  this  latter  the  name  of  N.  Indica,  a name  as  objectionable  as  that 
bestowed  by  Linnaeus.  The  true  N.  distillatoria  has  been  only  met  with  in  the  island  of  Ceylon,  and  in 
the  Courtallum  district,  towards  the  south  extremity  of  the  Peninsula  of  India.  The  present  species  is  a 
native  of  China,  and  the  mountains  of  Silhet,  to  the  north-east  of  Bengal;  but  certainly  not,  as  has  been 
inadvertently  said  in  the  Bot.  Mag.  under  t.  2798,  of  the  Circar  mountains,  which  lie  to  the  north  of 
the  Peninsula.  The  differences  between  these  two  species  are  well  pointed  out  by  Brongniart,  in  the  first 
volume  of  the  Annales  des  Sc.  Naturelles,  pp.  43  and  48.  N.  distillatoria  has  a compound  raceme, 
or  rather  a panicle,  each  partial  peduncle  being  branched,  and  bearing  several  spreading  pedicels  and 
flowers.  The  Chinese  one,  on  the  contrary,  has  a long  perfectly  simple  raceme.  Dr.  Graham  has  ob- 
served, that  in  a state  of  cultivation,  some  of  the  partial  peduncles  are  occasionally  bifid,  or  trifid,  and  our 
specimens  from  the  Edinburgh  Botanic  Garden  exhibit  the  same  appearance;  but  this  seems  merely  to  arise 
from  luxuriance ; not  one  of  the  very  numerous  specimens,  both  of  the  male  and  female,  we  have  from  time 
to  time  received  from  Mr.  Millett,  principally  collected  in  Lappas  Island,  presenting  any  such  tendency. 
We  place  little  reliance  on  the  leaves  being  petioled,  nor,  perhaps,  ought  the  apparent  petiole  of  N.  Phyl- 
larnphora  to  be  regarded  as  more  than  an  attenuation  of  the  base  of  the  leaf.  Rumphius’  figure  is  very  bad; 
Loureiro’s  description  is  on  the  whole  accurate,  although  the  line-like  parallel  longitudinal  veins  are  scarcely 
conspicuous,  and  only  so  on  the  under-side  of  the  leaf:  the  “ spica  longa,  simplicissima  ” is  very  character- 
istic : his  “ caulis  simplicissimus  ” less  so,  unless  we  suppose  either  that  he  had  only  seen  young  plants,  or, 
what  is  more  probable,  taken  that  part  of  his  description  from  Rumphius’  figure : in  the  wild  state,  however, 
the  stem  appears  to  be  much  more  simple  than  when  cultivated.  M.  Brongniart,  in  his  memoir,  above 
quoted,  places  too  much  dependance  on  the  ascidia  being  furnished  with,  or  nearly  destitute  of  winged  longi- 
tudinal ribs : such  marks  afford  no  character  whatever,  those  on  young  plants  being  very  large  and  crest-like, 
while  the  ascidia  on  older  ones  of  the  same  species  present  mere  ribs.  Our  specimen  of  N.  distillatoria  from 
Dr.  Wallich  (n.  2244)  has  no  flowers;  the  leaves  are  mere  sessile,  and  much  narrower  than  in  the  Chinese 
plant,  and  the  crests  or  ridges  of  the  ascidia  are  ciliated  with  longish  hairs.  We  observe  that  Dr.  Wallich’s

collection  was  obtained  from  Singapore,  Silhet,  the  Calcutta  Botanic  Garden,  and  Courtallum ; the  first  is 
probably  identical  with  Rumphius’  plant,  the  last  with  the  Ceylon  one,  and  the  two  others  with  that  culti- 
vated in  this  country,  the  seeds  of  which  were  forwarded  by  the  late  Dr.  Carey.

From  Roxburgh’s  character,  this  appears  to  be  closely  allied  to  his  Bradleia  hirsuta  (FI.  Ind.  3.  p.  699). 
In  the  few  specimens  we  have  seen,  and  which  we  owe  to  Mr.  Millett,  the  ovary  and  young  fruit  are  con- 
stantly injured  by  insects ; we  refer  it,  however,  without  hesitation,  to  Glochidion,  as  defined  by  M.  Adrien 
de  Jussieu,  from  the  structure  of  the  male  flower  and  of  the  stigma.  W e may  remark,  that  the  character  given 
by  him  must  be  altered,  if  Bradleia  pinnata,  Roxb.,  in  which  the  fruit  is  said  to  have  8-10  cells,  and  B. 
multilocularis,  Roxb.,  or  Agyneia  multilocularis,  Willd.,  belong  to  it ; this  last  has  8-12  anthers.

We  can  scarcely  clear  up  the  synonyms  between  this  and  P.  urinaria,  Linn.,  nor  are  we  quite  certain 
that  we  are  not  reversing  the  appellations  given  by  Linnaeus.  What  we  here  call  P.  Niruri,  has  smaller 
leaves  than  P.  urinaria,  and  the  capsule  is  perfectly  smooth  and  even,  which,  in  the  other,  is  covered  with 
numerous  flattened  small  scale-like  tubercles.  To  our  P.  urinaria  belong  Rumph.  Amb.  6.  t.  17.  f.  2,  and 
Rheed.  Mai.  10.  t.  15,  which  last  represents  faithfully  our  specimens  from  the  Peninsula  of  India,  from  Dr. 
Wight:  indeed,  although  this  figure  has  been  always  quoted  for  P.  Niruri,  Rheede  says  decidedly,  that  the 
gemma  or  capsules  “ sunt  in  superficia  velut  granulata  ac  in  sex  cancellos  suturis  distinctae.”  Plukenet’s 
t.  183.  f.  6,  seems  distinct  from  either,  unless  it  be  a narrow-leaved  form  of  Ph.  Nirtiri.  Linnaeus  describes 
P.  urinaria  as  the  smaller  plant  of  the  two,  and  as  having  procumbent  stems : we  find  it  as  large,  and  both 
to  be  erect.  If,  then,  Linnaeus  be  correct  in  his  reference  to  Rheede,  our  P.  Niruri  must  be  his  P.  uri- 
naria, and  vice  versa.  Both  P.  Niruri  and  urinaria  of  Poiret,  in  Lam.  Encycl.,  appear  to  belong  to  our 
P.  Niruri.

Our  difficulty  about  Loureiro  arises  from  his  saying,  that  the  male  and  female  flowers  spring  from  the 
same  axils,  which  is  not  the  case  in  our  plant.  As  the  name  turbinatus  was  applied  by  Sims  to  this,  while 
Koenig  and  Roxburgh  intended  by  it  another  species,  (that  figured  by  Rheede  in  his  Hort.  Mai.  5.  t.  43, 
which  differs  by  the  shape  of  the  leaves,  and  several  other  characters,)  we  have  availed  ourselves  of  the 
older  appellation  given  by  Poiret.  The  Chinese  plant,  with  P.  turbinatus.  Keen.,  P.  patens,  Roxb.,  P. 
vitis-Idea,  Koen.,  and  Roxb.  (Rheed.  Hort.  Mai.  5.  t.  44.)  form  a small  groupe,  with  turbinate  male  perianths.

as  are  represented  by  M.  Adr.  de  Jussieu,  in  his  P.  tristis,  Euph.  p.  22.  t.  5.  f.  16.  B.  To  these  M.  de  Jussieu 
adds  P.  cernuus  and  P.  rhamnoides.  We  suspect  that  he,  as  well  as  Poiret,  mean  by  this  latter  Koenig’s 
and  Roxburgh’s  P.  vitis-Idea;  indeed,  we  are  almost  sure  of  it,  for  at  p.  108  he  looks  on  P.  rhamnoides  as, 
perhaps,  the  same  with  his  P.  tristis.  What  Retz’s  and  Willdenow’s  P.  rhamnoides  is,  we  scarcely  know, 
the  synonyms  adduced  by  the  latter  belonging  to  several  very  different  plants.  Roxburgh’s  species  of  that 
name  has  the  male  flowers  racemed,  and  six  scales  on  the  middle  of  the  leaflets  of  the  perianth,  “ pointing 
inwards,  before  the  flower  expands,  so  as  to  cover  the  anthers  like  so  many  hoods:”  he  compares  it  with 
P.pendida,  Roxb.,  and  this  last  is,  “ when  young,  not  unlike  Niruri.”  We  have  received  P.  lucens  from 
Mr.  Miliett  and  Mr.  Vachell,  n.  95. 

3.  Phyllanthus  citierascens ; frutex  glaber,  ramis  striatis  cortice  cinereo,  foliis  parvis

2-4  ad  ramulos  breves  juniores,  floribus  3-5-nis  breve  pedicellatis  6-fidis. 

The  only  specimen  we  have  seen,  sent  by  Mr.  Miliett,  is  very  imperfect.  The  leaves  scarcely  exceed  a 
third  of  an  inch : the  flowers  (we  have  only  observed  the  male  ones,)  arise  from  a small  scaly  tubercle,  or 
abortive  branchlet;  their  structure  is  precisely  that  of  P.  lanceolata,  Adr.  de  Juss.  Euph.  t.  5.  n.  16.  A.  f.  2. 

1.  Bridelia  Loureiri ; ramulis  pubescentibus  virgatis,  foliis  obloiigis  acutiusculis  utrinque 
glabris,  stipulis  minutis  deciduis,  floribus  plurimis  axillaribus  glomeratis  sessilibus,  proces- 
subus  petaloideis  late  cuneatis  apice  grosse  dentatis  periantbio  vix  dimidio  brevioribus, 
stylo  trifido. — Cluytia  monoica.  Lour.  Coch.  2.  p.  784. 

This  was  received,  about  ten  years  ago,  in  Sir  Wm.  J.  Hooker’s  first  packet  from  Mr.  Miliett.  The 
flowers  are  sometimes  6-cleft,  and  with  6 anthers.  It  approaches  very  closely  to  B.  patula,  but  seems  to 
differ  in  several  particulars, 

M.  Adrien  de  Jussieu  has  remarked,  (Euphorb.  Tent.  p.  25.)  that  although  four  or  five  of  the  East 
Indian  species  of  Cluytia  agree  with  C.  pulchella  and  the  other  Cape  ones,  in  having  a trifid  style, 
and  three-celled  fruit,  he  is  rather  disposed  to  unite  them  with  Bridelia,  and  make  the  principal  difference 
between  that  genus  and  Cluytia  to  depend  on  the  disk  that  lines  the  bottom  of  the  perianth,  (as  in  some  genera 
of  the  Rhamnece)  unaccompanied  with  the  bifid  or  trifid  appendages  that  alternate  with  the  petaloid  bodies, 
and  characterise  the  Cape  species.  We  have,  therefore,  inserted  Loureiro’s  plant  in  Bridelia,  and  this, 
with  C.  stipularis,  Linn.,  C.  diversifolia,  Roxb.,  C.  collina,  C. patula,  and  C.  oblongifolia,  will  constitute  a 
section  distinguished  by  the  trifid  style  and  trilocular  capsule.  It  is  probable  that  C.  semperjlorens,  Roxb.  El. 
Ind.  3.  p.  730,  from  Silhet,  must  form  a genus  (Silvia,  Hook,  et  Arn.)  distinct  from  either ; in  it  there  appear 
to  be  in  the  male,  five  glands  that  alternate  with  the  insertion  of  the  petaloid  processes,  instead  of  a disk,  and 
the  petaloid  processes  are  of  a deep  purple  colour;  there  are  six  anthers.  In  the  female,  the  petaloid  pro- 
cesses are  wanting,  but  the  ovary  is  surrounded  at  the  base  by  a pentagonal  ring,  similar  to  what  almost 
always  usurps  the  place  of  a disk  in  the  female  flowers  of  Bridelia.  The  species  belonging  to  the  groupe 
with  a three-celled  fruit,  may  be  thus  distinguished : —

In  this  last,  Roxburgh  does  not  describe  the  disk  of  the  male  flowers,  nor  the  stipules ; had,  however,  the 
latter  been  large  or  conspicuous,  he  could  not  have  overlooked  them : the  former,  we  presume,  to  be  present, 
from  its  appearing  in  the  female,  as  in  most  of  the  species,  in  the  shape  of  a cup,  round  the  base  of  the 
ovary.  In  offering  these  characters,  we  have  relied  for  some  on  Roxburgh’s  accuracy,  in  the  absence  of 
authentic  specimens : were  we  inclined  to  disi)ute  it,  it  wmuld  be  in  the  instance  of  his  Cl.  semperjlorens, 
above  mentioned,  where  it  is  possible  that  the  five  glands  in  the  male  flower,  may  prove  to  be  merely  thick- 
ened angles  to  an  otherwise  thin  disk,  as  in  some  species  of  Gouania.

Lamarck’s  plant  is  from  Java,  and  his  description  agrees  tolerably  well  with  the  Chinese  one  : whether 
either  be  the  Mallotus  Cochinchensis  of  Loureiro  (2.  p.  780,)  w'e  have  no  means  of  determining,  the  descrip- 
tion given  being  at  variance  in  several  respects ; but,  at  the  same  time,  it  is  highlj'^  probable  that  the  male  plant 
he  saw  at  Canton  is  the  same  as  ours : he  adds,  “ Feemineus  flos  ibi  non  occurrit nor  have  any  of  our

We  have  here  added  a specific  character,  M.  de  Jussieu  having  mentioned  three  other  species  from  the 
Mauritius.  The  present  one  was  long  involved  in  the  greatest  obscurity,  on  account  of  the  synonyms  asso- 
ciated with  it  by  Burmann.  There  does  not  appear  to  be  any  plant  described  by  Roxburgh  or  Willdenow  to 
which  it  is  referable : in  habit  it  approaches  to  Groton  oblongifolium,  Roxb.  FI.  Ind.  3.  p.  85.

Roxburgh  ascribes  to  his  plant,  so  far  as  we  can  collect  from  the  description,  a single  cluster  of  female  flowers 
and  a small  capitulum  of  male  ones  from  a solitary  bractea : some  of  the  spikes  on  the  specimens  before  us 
agree  with  that  character,  but  others  show  two  bracteas,  and  in  one,  where  the  inflorescence  is  almost  ter- 
minal, the  male  flowers  form  a slender  spike  of  about  half  an  inch  in  length.

We  have  only  received  var.  /3  from  Canton.  It  is  merely  distinguished  from  the  type  of  the  species  by 
its  stems  not  being  hispid  with  spreading  hairs,  but  simply  pubescent.  We  possess  both  from  the  Peninsula

peduncled,  often  almost  sessile.  This,  with  the  following,  belongs  to  Dr.  Roeper’s  first  section,  characterised 
by  the  seeds  destitute  of  a carunculus,  and  the  glands  of  the  involucre  resting  on  one  side  of  a more 
or  less  membranaceous  scale  or  process,  which  he  properly  suggests  ought  to  be  regarded  as  analogous  to 
stipules,  they  only  occurring  in  the  species  provided  with  stipules.

We  have  seen  but  one  specimen,  and  that  very  imperfect ; it  was  sent  by  Mr.  Millett.

The  female  perianth  is  urceolate  as  in  Boehmeria,  not  2-valved  as  in  Urtica.  Roxburgh  hesitates  about 
his  plant  being  the  same  as  U.  nivea,  from  Loureiro’s  erroneous  description  of  the  female  flower,  “ germen 
filamentis  multis  sterilibus  circumdatum  but  Loureiro  must  have  taken  either  the  hairs  on  the  ovary,  or 
the  styles  of  the  other  flowers,  for  “ sterile  filaments.”  The  style  is  simple,  with  one,  not  two  stigmas,  as 
Loureiro  says.

Willdenow  describes  this  as  an  herbaceous  perennial,  and  Sprengel,  we  know  not  for  what  reason,  inserts 
the  Ceylon  plant  among  the  shrubby  species.  Linnaeus  mentions  it  as  herbaceous,  but  does  not  speak  of  its 
duration : Roxburgh  finds  it  annual.  We  have  not  seen  the  root,  but  the  stems  are  certainly  herbaceous. 
The  specimens  before  us,  from  Mr.  Millett,  have  the  leaves  opposite  on  the  primitive  stem  only,  and  alter- 
nate on  the  branches,  thus  differing  from  both  Loureiro’s  and  Roxburgh’s  description,  but  agreeing  in  that 
respect  with  Roxburgh’s  U.  tuherosa;  this  last,  however,  seems  to  have  a differently  shaped  female  perianth. 
The  habit  is  quite  that  of  a Parietaria,  and  although  it  and  several  of  Roxburgh’s  species  of  Urtica 
present  almost  no  difference  in  character  from  Boehmeria,  they  possibly  ought  to  form  a distinct  genus,  or 
at  least  a sub-genus.  One  specimen  before  us  is  simiple  with  larger  leaves,  and  all  of  them  opposite,  ex- 
hibiting more  the  habit  of  a small  Urtica : this  form  agrees  with  Loureiro’s  character,  but  it  seems  to  be 
merely  a younger  state  of  the  other.

the  female  flowers  enlarging  and  becoming  fleshy,  the  fruit  appears  to  remain  enclosed,  and  never  to  be  ex- 
serted.  There  can  be  no  doubt  but  all  the  species  of  Tropins  have  a true  monophyllous  perianth  enclosing 
the  ovary,  similar  to  what  we  have  recognized. — We  shall  here  add  the  following  abridged  synopsis  of  all  the

The  equality  or  inequality  of  the  base  of  the  leaf,  affords,  we  believe,  no  character,  both  kinds  sometimes 
appearing  on  the  same  branch.  We  have  three  forms  before  us  from  China;  one  in  which  the  leaves  are 
whitish  on  the  underside,  at  least  when  young,  and  their  length  about  thrice  the  breadth;  a second  has  the

leaves  narrower,  (almost  eordato-lanceolate)  much  acuminated,  and  fulvous  on  the  under  side ; a third  pre- 
sents the  leaves  broader,  cordato-ovate,  and  less  acuminated  than  in  the  other  two,  (their  length  being  about 
twice  the  breadth,)  and  also  fulvous;  but  we  do  not  consider  these  forms  sufficiently  constant  to  mark  them 
out  as  distinct  varieties.  We  had  almost  referred  here  Trema  Cochinchensis  of  Loureiro;  but  now  feel 
disposed,  from  his  aceount  of  the  seed,  to  consider  it  a species  of  Antidesma.

vata.  Wall.  List  of  E.  I.  Plants,  n.  4495  ? 

Dr.  Wallich’s  plant  differs  in  several  particulars  from  this:  the  fruit  in  our  specimen  from  him  (n.  4495  a.) 
is  considerably  smaller,  while  the  leaves  are  larger  and  rough  to  the  touch  on  the  under  side. 

2.  Ficus  setosa;  arborea?  ramis  petiolis  pedunculis  receptaculis  foliorumque  nervis  subtus 
hirsute  flavido-pilosis,  foliis  breve  petiolatis  alternis  oblongo-obovatis  basi  subcordatis  et

supra  hispido-strigosis,  receptaculis  globosis  axillaribus  solitariis  binisve  hispidissimis 
brevissime  pedunculatis.  (Tab.  XLIX.) 

This  is  altogether  a very  remarkable  species:  the  setm  on  the  young  receptacles  (which,  in  the  antheriferous 
state,  are  about  the  size  of  a very  large  pea)  are  peculiarly  close,  stout,  and  spreading.  The  shape  of  the 
leaves  is  precisely  that  of  the  Chinese  form  of  Grewia  Microcos,  both  sides  being  almost  equal,  and  very 
similar  to  those  of  F.  scabra,  Jacq.,  but  there  they  are  opposite,  and  have  much  longer  petioles;  nor  is  the 
fruit  by  any  means  so  setose  as  in  our  plant.

The  specimens  exhibit  old  fruit,  from  which  most  of  the  seeds  have  escaped,  and  such  of  the  latter  as  remain 
are  empty  : there  are  also  flower-buds,  but  so  very  young  as  to  render  the  determination  of  the  number  of 
ovules  very  uncertain  ; we  could  not,  however,  satisfy  ourselves  as  to  there  being  more  than  a single  pair. 
We  are  very  doubtful  w'here  this  genus  ought  to  be  placed  in  the  natural  arrangement.  In  some  points  it 
approaches  the  Tiliacea  atid  Byttneriaceae,  with  which  the  habit  perhaps  best  accords  ; in  other  respects 
there  is  a slight  affinity  with  the  group  of  Butacece.  We  leave  it  at  the  end  of  the  Dicotyledones.

S.  ovalifolia  of  Roxburgh,  appears  to  be  very  closely  allied  to  this  species,  but  is  said  to  have  a compound 
umbel ; if,  however,  as  we  think  highly  probable,  his  plant  be  a mere  form  of  Rheede’s  Kari  Vilandi,  Hort. 
Mai.  7.  t.  31.,  it  would  only  be  distinguishable  by  its  larger  size.  We  have  seen  a specimen  in  Dr.  Wight’s 
Herbarium  exactly  agreeing  with  Rheede’s  figure. 

2.  ^xnWax  pseudo-China.  Linn,? — S.  Indica.  Burm.  FI.  Ind.  p.2\S. 

Linnaeus  and  most  systematic  authors  mention  this  as  a native  of  North  America  only : Loureiro  and 
Roxburgh,  however,  introduce  it  into  their  respective  Floras,  and  it  seems  to  agree  well  with  Burmann’s 
S.  Indica.  We  cannot  perceive  any  difference  between  our  Chinese  and  North  American  specimens. 

3.  Smilax  glabra  ; caule  teretiusculo  inermi,  foliis  inermibus  anguste  lanceolatis  acumina- 
tis  basi  obtusiusculis  utrinque  glabris  supra  lucidis  niargine  integerrimis,  umbellis  (fl.  fern.)

Roxburgh  describes  his  plant  vrith  leaves  glaucous  on  the  under  side,  and  with  the  “ calycine  leaflets 
broad,  obcordate,  sessile.”  We  have  not  seen  the  perianth  ; the  leaves  in  our  specimens  are  not  at  all 
glaucous  underneath.  Roxburgh  mentions  that  the  root  of  his  plant  is  large  and  tuberous  ; Loureiro  says  it 
is  filiform  and  not  tuberous.  Notwithstanding  these  differences  in  description,  we  are  disposed  to  consider 
Loureiro’s  plant  to  be  the  same  as  that  of  Roxburgh.  The  true  S.  lanceolata  is  a North  American  species  ; 
Sprengel  places  it  among  those  with  a prickly  and  angled  stem ; all  other  authors  describe  it  as  unarmed, 
nor  have  we  found  any  prickles.

Some  of  our  specimens  present  a nearly  simple  panicle  as  described  by  Blume  and  figured  by  Rumphius 
(5.  t.  73.);  but  others  have  it  as  much  branched  as  in  D.  ensifolia:  this  last  form  exactly  coincides  with  what 
we  have  described  as  D.  Sandwichensis,  supr.  p.  97,  which  may  therefore  be  considered  as  not  different 
from  Blume’s  plant.  Blume  seems  to  consider  it  only  as  a cultivated  plant  in  India,  so  that  it  is  not  impro- 
bable but  it  may  have  been  originally  introduced  from  the  Sandwich  Islands.  The  leaves  are  perfectly 
smooth  to  the  touch  along  the  margins,  even  when  the  latter  are  carefully  unrolled,  but  in  the  true  B.  ensi- 
folia, the  serratures  are  often  distant  and  extremely  minute ; so  that,  as  the  habit  is  preeisely  the  same, 
there  may  be  a question  as  to  the  propriety  of  keeping  them  up  as  distinct  species. — We  have  it  from  Can-

This  is  very  closely  allied  to  P.  vaginalis  Roxb.,  but  that  species  has  the  leaves  only  5-7-nerved,  and  the 
racemes,  after  the  flowers  decay,  become  recurved.  P.  ovata,  Linn,  does  not  belong  to  this  genus.

laciniis  exterioribus  duabus  anticis  navicularibus  interioribus  angustis  integerrimis  multo 
latioribus. 

In  the  structure  of  the  capitulum  this  is  very  much  allied  to  E.  sexangulare,  Linn.  {Leucocephala  spathacea, 
Roxb.  FI.  Ind.  3.  p.  613),  but  the  whole  plant  is  much  longer;  the  leaves  are  larger  and  broader,  and  the 
sheaths,  and  sometimes  the  leaves  also,  are  sprinkled  with  a few  spreading  hairs.  We  almost  suspect  that 
this  is  E.  quadrangulare  of  Loureiro  (FI.  Coch.  1.  p.  77.),  but,  at  the  same  time,  there  are  several  points  of 
difference.  In  our  plant  the  scape,  although  always  5-angled,  has  one  of  the  angles  often  so  much  smaller 
than  the  others  as  to  appear  like  a mere  nerve  along  one  of  the  four  principal  sides;  hence  Loureiro  might 
easily  have  supposed  it  to  be  only  4-angled.  Loureiro’s  plant,  however,  seems  to  be  smaller  than  ours,  and 
may  possibly  be  rather  E.  quinquangulare,  Linn. — We  have  received  it  from  the  neighbourhood  of  Macao

drawn  up  previously  to  receiving  that  by  Prof.  Nees  von  Esenbeck  : — Culmo  (apicem  versus  saltern)  aphyllo

bus,  squamis  oblongo-lanceolatis,  exterioribus  obtusiusculis  sterilibus,  interioribus  carinatis  acuminatis. — Thus 
the  principal  dilference  consists  in  the  low’er  partial  spikelets  of  our  plant  being  peduncled,  and  forming  a

[To  the  description  and  character  given  by  Prof.  Nees  Von  Esenbeck,  we  may  add  that  the  caryopsis  is  at 
first  only  slightly  rugulose,  the  elevated  parts  being  covered  with  numerous  short  bristles : afterwards  it  is 
almost  or  quite  glabrous ; the  lobes  of  the  hypogynium  are  obtuse  and  not  more  than  one-fourth  the  length 
of  the  caryopsis.  The  margins  of  the  leaves  and  sheaths  are  often  only  slightly  scabrous.]

I The  above  observations  seem  to  have  been  made  by  our  friend  to  show'  that  this  speeies  was  distinct  from 
C.  rarnosa,  Schk.  In  that  species,  how'ever,  Willdenow,  on  Schkuhr’s  authority,  asserts  that  there  are  only 
two  stigmas,  notwithstanding  that  the  fruit  is  triquetrous ; it  comes  from  the  Mauritius.  Sprengel  combines 
with  it  a different  plant,  C.  cruciata,  Wahl,  and  Willd.,  and  draws  up  a character,  probably  without 
seeing  either,  which  partakes  of  both : C.  cruciata,  how'ever,  is  from  Canton,  nor  is  there  anything  in 
Wahlenberg’s  description  to  induce  us  to  suppose  it  distinct  from  the  above  C.  valida,  N.  ab  E.,  except 
where  Wahlenberg  says  that  the  fruit  has  a short  beak,  while  in  our  plant  it  is  rather  long;  we  consider 
them  the  same : the  C.  cruciata,  N.  ab  E.  1.  c.  p.  123,  from  Nepal  and  the  Peninsula  of  India,  is  quite  dis-

Retz  and  Wahlenberg  attribute  to  this  a single  purely  male  spike,  remote  female  ones,  and  mention  that 
the  whole  plant  is  a span  long  : our  species  is  obviously  considerably  larger,  the  female  spikes  are  not  re- 
markably remote,  and  the  mixture  of  female  flowers  on  the  terminal  spikes  may  be  the  effect  of  accident. 
On  the  other  hand,  the  description  of  the  fruit,  of  the  scales,  of  the  sheaths  to  the  bractem,  of  the  bractem 
themselves,  and  especially  their  being  about  equal  in  length  to  the  spikes,  the  number  of  stigmas,  and  the 
smoothness  of  the  culm,  are  the  same  in  both.  We  searcely  entertain  a doubt  respecting  their  identity.]

[This  varies  with  the  glume  3-7-nerved  and  the  spikes  either  in  pairs  or  several,  or  3-nerved,  and  then  the 
spikes  are  usually  in  pairs : in  the  Chinese  specimens  ( Vachell,  “ Z.”)  referred  here  by  us,  the  glumes  are 
3-nerved;  there  are  several  (3-5)  spikes,  and  the  spikes  are  more  spreading  than  usual;  the  plaits  on  the 
glumes,  which  are  rather  small  for  this  species,  are  not  very  conspicuous.  It  is  the  only  species,  we  believe, 
from  the  East,  with  orbicular  spikelets  placed  in  two  rows  on  the  rachis.]

* The  terms  used  by  Professor  Nees  v.  Esenbeck  being  not  quite  the  same  as  those  employed  by  Trinius,  the  follow- 
ing extract  from  his  Memoir  on  the  Graminea,  in  Wight  and  Arnott’s  Prodromns  FI.  Penins.  Ind.  Or.  vol.  2,  {ined.) 
may  be  acceptable: — 

“1.  As  to  the  distribution  of  the  spikelets.  The  words  homogamous  (viz.  spikelets)  and  heterogamous  signify  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  sexes  in  different  spikelets  on  the  same  individual.  They  are  called  homogamous  if  there  be  no  differ- 
ence in  this  respect  between  any  of  the  spikelets  of  the  same  individual,  as  in  JBromus: — heterogamous,  if  the  arrangement 
of  the  sexes  be  different  in  different  spikelets  from  the  same  root,  as  in  Andropogon.  Dioecious  signifies  that  there  are  some 
spikelets  conformably  male  (whether  provided  with  an  accessory  neuter  floret  or  not)  on  one  individual,  and  conformably 
female  on  another,  as  in  Gynetium : and  monoecious,  that  male  and  female  spikelets  (whether  or  not  they  be  accompanied 
by  a neuter  floret)  are  distributed  apart  from  each  other,  but  on  the  same  individual,  as  in  Zea. 

“ As  to  composition.  The  terms  hemiologamous,  hemigamous,  and  polygamous,  serve  to  indicate  the  distribution  of  the 
sexes  among  the  different  florets  of  the  same  spikelet.  A spikelet  is  called  polygamous,  if  one,  of  the  two  florets  which  it 
contains  be  unisexual,  and  the  other  bisexual,  as  in  Spodiopogon,  and  several  Panica.  A hemiologamous  spikelet  is 
that  in  which  one  of  the  two  florets  is  neuter,  and  the  other  bisexual,  as  in  several  species  of  Panieum.  Hemigamous 
signifies  that  a spikelet  is  composed  of  one  neuter  floret  and  another  unisexual,  whether  male  or  female,  as  in  Ischce- 
mum.  Spikelets  are  also  called  Monoecious  in  composition,  where  one  of  the  two  florets  is  male  and  the  other  female.” —

We  have  drawn  up  the  above  character  from  Chinese  specimens,  among  which  we  have  two  extreme 
forms  with  every  gradation  between  them  ; one  has  the  partial  spikes  short,  close  pressed  to  the  rachis,  and 
the  bristle  of  the  neuter  floret  is  seldom  longer  than  the  spikelet ; the  other  is  much  more  luxuriant,  having 
more  numerous  and  slightly  spreading  partial  spikes,  and  the  bristle,  although  short  in  some  spikelets,  is 
usually  3-8  times  longer  than  the  florets  ; this  last  state  approaches  so  closely  to  P.  crus-Pavonis,  N.  ab  E. 
(Agrost.  Bras.  p.  259.)  that  we  cannot  detect  any  difference,  except  in  the  latter  having  the  lower  partial 
spikes  compound,  and  perhaps  the  lower  glume  not  cucullate.  Between  P.  hispidulum  and  P.  ccesium,  not- 
withstanding the  differences  pointed  out  by  Nees  von  Esenbeck  below,  M'e  find  still  greater  difficulty  of  draw- 
ing a line : in  Prof.  Henslow’s  specimens  of  the  latter,  determined  by  Nees  von  Esenbeck  himself,  the 
rachis  is  certainly  striated,  the  lower  glume  is  cucullate,  and  the  upper  as  distinctly  3-nerved  as  that  of  P.  his- 
pidulum, while  the  glaucous  hue,  as  well  as  the  colour  and  size  of  the  spikelets,  is  too  dependant  on  soil  and 
situation  to  afford  any  but  secondary  characters  ; we  have  thus  left  only  the  convex  back  of  the  rachis  and 
the  decidedly  alternate  partial  spikes  to  characterise  it,  and  that  these  are  constant  and  not  the  effect  of 
fortuitous  circumstances  we  have  reason  to  doubt.]

ing in  the  East  India  Company’s  Museum,  t.  803,  notwithstanding  that  both  in  the  description  and  figure

all  syn.)  and  even  to  G.  hordeiformis,  N.  ab  E.  (or  G.  caudata,  Kunth,)  than  to  any  species  of  Penicillaria: 
nd  this  appearance  is  supported  by  the  structure  of  the  spikelets,  which  is  truly  that  of  Gymnothrix.  In 
Penicillaria,  however,  the  inflorescence  is  a raceme  with  the  pedicels  and  involucres  persistent ; in  Gymno- 
thrix it  is  usually  a spike,  the  sessile  involucres  being  deciduous  : in  the  present  plant,  it  is  a raceme,  but 
the  short  pedicels,  as  well  as  the  involucres,  are  deciduous,  thus  agreeing  in  every  point  with  the  genus  to 
which  we  have  removed  it.  The  leaves  are  glabrous,  but,  at  the  same  time,  scabrous  on  their  margin.  The 
spike,  or  rather  raceme,  is  usually  about  three  or  four  inches  long  ; we  have  rarely  seen  it  so  long  as  des- 
cribed above  : at  first  it  is  acute  at  both  ends,  but  afterwards  the  pedicels  often  spread  out  horizontally,  pre- 
senting a lax  appearance.  Pedicels  frequently  a line  and  a half  long,  articulated  with  the  rachis.  The 
bristles  of  the  involucre  are  at  first  pale,  but  afterwards  of  a beautiful  purple  from  almost  their  base  to  the 
apex.  From  G.  alopecurus,  the  only  other  species  with  distinct  pedicels,  it  is  readily  distinguished  by 
their  being  almost  as  long  as  the  spikelets.  Trinius’  figure  is  excellent,  if  taken  from  a young  specimen ; 
he,  and  Nees  von  Esenbeck,  and  we  also,  have  found  only  one  spikelet  in  each  involucre : Kunth  says  that 
there  are  one  or  two.]

ficientem  notat.  An  itaque  plures  hie  species,  nescio  an  plura  fors  genera,  latent  ? 

[In  Prof.  Nees  V.  Esenbeck’s  MS.  to  Dr.  Lindley,  and  more  lately  in  a letter  to  ourselves,  we  find  that  he  now 
inclines  to  consider  the  species  from  Dr.  Wight,  also  from  Ceylon  and  China,  as  a distinct  one,  and  he  thus 
characterises  it : — “ P.  refractum;  gluma  inferiori  breviori  truncata,  superior!  apicem  versus  hirta,  seta  flosculi 
fertilis  basi  refracta. — Differt  e P.  polystachyo  (scil.  plantse,  cui  nomen  hoc  reliquimus)  spiculis  duplo  fere 
minoribus,  vix  lineam  longis,  cum  isti  1 J lineam  sint  long®,  opacis;  gluma  inferiori  breviori  et  ratione  longi- 
tudinis  latiori,  fere  recta  truncata ; superior!  apicem  versus  hirsuta,  seta  flosculi  ab  origine  fere  arcu  parvo 
refracta  qu®  isti  leniter  retrovergens  subtortuosaque.  Reliqua  utrisque  conveniunt.  Flosculus  inferior  uni- 
valvis,  superior  bivalvis,  valvis  ciliatis.  Folia  angusta  valde  scabra,  magis  tamen  in  P.  refracto,  ad  os  vagin® 
longe  barbata. — P.  polystachi  diagnosis  h®c  est : P.  glumis  mqualibus  Imvibus  apice  barbatis,  seta  recurva 
flexuosa.” — The  direction  of  the  seta,  however,  is  perhaps  inconstant : it  is  erect  in  Roxburgh’s  figure  (in  E.  I. 
C.  mus.  tab.  875.)  of  his  Andropogon  monandrus,  and  in  some  of  Dr.  Wight’s  younger  specimens;  but  Rox- 
burgh’s plant  is  certainly  P.  refractum,  for  although  in  his  description  he  states  the  glumes  to  be  equal,  he 
represents  them  unequal,  and  the  lower  one  of  the  sessile  spikelet  truncated  in  his  drawing,  and  besides,  the 
lower  floret  appears  to  have  been  so  minute  as  to  have  escaped  his  notice.  In  the  specimen  of  P.  poly- 
stachyum,  N.  ab  E.,  which  we  possess,  we  are  uncertain  from  what  part  of  India,  the  lower  floret  of  the 
sessile  spikelet  is  conspicuously  2-valved,  as  in  Beauvois’  figure,  and  contains  a single  apparently  imperfect 
stamen,  which  falls  out  as  soon  as  the  florets  expand,  and  is  therefore  only  to  be  observed  in  an  early 
stage : the  bisexual  floret  contains  two  fertile  stamens.  The  pedicelled  spikelet  has  the  lower  floret,  so  far 
as  we  have  observed,  always  neuter,  and  with  one  conspicuous  valvelet,  and  the  upper  one  with  or  without 
one  unfertile  stamen.  When  Mr.  Brown  speaks  of  Saccharum  paniceum,  Lam.,  not  having  an  upper  valve- 
let  to  the  upper  floret,  he  probably  merely  alluded  to  Lamarck’s  figure,  where  it  is  erroneously  represented  so.]

Of  this,  which  seems  to  be  very  common  about  Macao,  we  have  not  received  the  leaves.  It  appears  to 
be  a remarkably  tall  plant,  and  the  panicle  is  very  similar  to  that  of  S.  officinarum,  from  which,  however,  it 
differs  by  the  large  and  conspicuous  valvelets  of  the  fertile  floret.  S.  procerum  differs  by  the  upper  valvelet 
of  the  bisexual  floret.

S.  exaltatum,  according  to  Roxburgh’s  observations  and  drawing,  has  the  upper  v^lvolet  of  the  bisexual 
floret  wanting  in  the  pedicelled  spikelet,  but  about  equal  to  the  other  and  acute  in  the  sesile  one  ; according, 
however,  to  N.  v.  Esenbeck’s  examination  of  what  he  considers  the  same  plant,  in  Dr.  Wight’s  herbarium, 
it  is  the  upper  valvelet  of  the  pedicelled  (not  the  sessile)  spikelet  which  is  equal  and  similar  to  the  other, 
while  in  the  sessile  one  it  is  much  shorter  and  obtuse.  As  we  have  not  seen  the  leaves  of  the  Chinese  plant, 
we  are  uncertain  about  its  being  the  same  as  Roxburgh’s;  and,  besides,  that  author,  in  his  drawing,  repre- 
sents the  upper  valvelet  much  narrower  and  more  acuminated  than  in  our  specimens,  but  probably  his  figure 
may  be  inaccurate  in  that  respect.  The  neuter  valvelet  and  both  those  of  the  fertile  florets  are  ciliated.

[After  having  carefully  examined  the  Chinese  plant,  and  H.  polysfachgus  R.  et  Sch.,  of  which  last  N.  ab 
Esenbeck  considers  the  Andropogon  contortus  of  Roxburgh,  and  perhaps  also  of  Linnaeus,  fbut  not  of 
Brown’s  Prodr,  1.  p.  201,)  to  be  a variety  with  solitary  spikelets,  we  can  see  no  good  grounds  for  separating 
them.  Both  have  the  peduncles  elongated  and  often  fascicled,  each  with  one  short-leaved  sheath,  the  male 
spikelets  ciliated,  and  the  leaves  linear  scabrous  and  more  or  less  ciliated  at  the  base  : in  the  Chinese  speci- 
mens the  hairs  on  the  glumes  and  leaves  are  softer,  and  spring  out  of  inconspicuous  tubercles  ; in  Dr.  Wight’s 
specimens  of  H.  polystacJiyus  the  hairs  are  rigid,  and  arise  from  pretty  large  tubercles,  but  w'e  can  see  no 
other  difference  between  the  two ; if  then  our  friend  be  correct  in  referring  our  Chinese  plant  to  H.  con~ 
tortus,  we  should  be  inclined  to  reunite  to  it  H.  polystachyus.

[The  plant  which  we  have  joined  as  var.  /3,  to  that  described  by  Nees  von  Esenbeck,  diiFers  from  it  in  no 
respect  except  in  the  more  branched  inflorescence : the  structure  of  the  spikelets  being  identical  in  both.  On  the 
other  hand,  w'e  see  few  grounds  for  separating  the  more  luxuriant  or  more  perfect  form,  and  which  is  by  far 
the  most  abundant  in  our  collection,  from  A.  montanus,  Roxb. ; Roxburgh,  however,  describes  the  leaves  as 
“ long  and  narrow,”  and  figures  even  the  uppermost  one  close  to  the  panicle,  and  6 or  8 inches  long,  while 
in  our  plant  it  is  very  short  and  subulate ; Roxburgh,  moreover,  does  say  that  the  lower  glume  of  the  fertile 
spikelet  is  channelled  on  the  back,  which  could  scarcely  have  escaped  the  notice  of  N.  von  Esenbeck. 
Var.  a has  much  the  appearance  of  A.  leptostachys,  Wight  and  Arn.,  (or  A.  sacchar aides,  Roxb.,  and

the  lower  ones,  and  the  branches  of  the  inflorescence  seem  constantly  alternate,  simple,  and  bearing  a single 
slender  spike  that  is  fully  more  than  an  inch  and  a half  long.  We  have  received  both  a and  /3  from  Prof.

[Our  specimens  from  Mr.  Millett,  and  those  in  Prof.  Henslow’s  herbarium  from  Mr.  Vachell,  now  lying 
before  us,  some  of  which  were  examined  by  Nees  v.  Esenbeck,  agree  with  the  above  description  in  every 
particular,  except  that  the  lodicules  of  the  male  floret  are  actually  as  small  as,  and  precisely  similar  to,  those 
of  the  bisexual  one  : in  both  they  are  somewhat  cuneate  and  truncated,  and  not  longer  than  the  ovary.  We 
are  therefore  disposed  to  suspect  some  error  of  observation  in  those  parts  from  which  the  specific  name  has 
been  derived  ; nor  can  we  readily  account  for  it  unless  on  the  supposition  that,  while  dissecting  the  flower, 
the  inflexed  margins  of  one  of  the  valvelets  had  been  in  part  or  wholly  separated  and  supposed  to  be  the 
lodicules.]

[With  P.  hordeiformis  we  are  unacquainted.  Between  P.  latifolia  (for  we  are  still  inclined  to  retain 
that  name  instead  of  patula)  and  P.  longifiora,  there  are  some  obvious  differences  in  the  foliage  : in  both 
the  leaves  are  of  the  same  general  shape;  but  in  P.  latifolia  they  are  waved,  and  have  a cartilaginous 
discoloured  (in  our  specimens)  margin,  which  is  armed  with  rigid,  close,  sometimes  bristle-bearing  teeth,  from 
the  base  to  near  the  apex  : in  P.  longifiora,  they  are  flat  or  involute  towards  the  apex,  decidedly  glaucous, 
and  the  margin  toothed  only  near  the  base.  In  P.  latifolia  the  sheaths  are  strongly  striated  ; in  P.  longi- 
fiora, scarcely  at  all.  In  P.  latifolia  the  leaves  are  scattered  at  equal  distances  on  the  lower  half  of  the 
culm  ; in  our  specimens  of  P.  longifiora  they  are  crowded  for  about  one-fourth  from  the  root ; but  as  in 
both  the  two  upper  leaves  are  remote,  we  are  disposed  to  regard  the  approximation  of  the  lower  ones  as  the 
effect  of  a greater  or  less  development  of  the  whole  plant.]

unifl.  p.  154,  or  Sporoholus  elongatus.  Brown:  but  our  specimens  do  not  altogether  agree  with  Brown’s 
observations,  in  as  far  as  he  states  the  branches  of  the  panicle  to  be  alternate  and  the  lower  ones  distant ; 
whereas  here  they  are  more  or  less  fascicled  or  verticillate,  and  the  lower  ones  are  not  more  remote  than  in 
V.  tenacissima : the  glumes  are  ovate,  the  upper  one  between  twice  and  thrice,  and  the  lower  nearly  four 
times  shorter  than  the  floret.  The  leaves  are  convolute.  On  the  whole,  therefore,  we  do  not  see  why  our 
plant  ought  not  to  be  rather  referred  to  V.  tenacissima,  Humb.  and  Kunth ; perhaps,  however,  as  Trinius 
says,  V.  elongata  is  too  closely  allied  to  it.  In  both,  the  branches  of  the  panicle  are  floriferous  from  their 
very  base  or  nearly  so.

high,  and  the  spikes  almost  an  inch  and  a half  long,  and  thick  in  proportion  ; the  leaves  are  very  scabrous

itself,  glabrous : the  lower  part  of  the  culm  forms  a very  remarkable  branched  prostrate  densely  leafy  rhizoma

This  elegant  and  very  remarkable  species  is  readily  distinguished  from  all  others  of  the  section  with  which 
we  are  acquainted,  by  its  very  hairy  convolute  leaves  and  sheaths.  Unless  by  accident  another  plant  has 
been  mixed,  this  must  be  what  Nees  v.  Esenbeck  calls,  in  his  MS.  to  Dr.  Lindley,  E.  Brownii ; at  least  what 
Prof.  Henslow  has  sent  to  both  of  us  from  Mr.  Vachell’s  collection,  n.  54,  is  the  present  species : it  is  possible, 
however,  that  he  might  not  have  seen  the  foliage,  for  in  that  respect  it  differs  widely  from  E.  Brownii  of

of  P.  amabilis)  may  be  a form,  but  has  the  branches  of  the  panicle  truly  simple,  and  the  caryopsis  oblong : 
if  belonging  to  this  species,  it  is  a form  of  the  same  variety  as  P.  diandra,  Roxb.  As  to  P.  tenella,  Roxb.,

Our  specimens  agree  in  every  respect  with  Schultes’  description  above  referred  to,  except  as  to  the  number 
of  florets  in  the  spikelet,  w'hich  is  probably  subject  to  much  variation.  We  cannot  see  how  B.  Thouarsii, 
Kunth,  En.  1.  p.  431,  judging  from  the  specific  character  given  in  that  work,  differs  ; but  nearly  all  the 
synonyms  there  adduced  belong  to  other  species.  Nastus,  Beauv.  Agr.  t.  25.  f.  3,  can  scarcely  belong  to 
either,  although  the  shape  and  disposition  of  the  spikelets  are  not  much  at  variance  on  account  of  the  style 
being  represented  bifid. 

We  have  received,  also,  from  Mr.  Millett,  from  China,  another  species  of  Bambusa,  in  which  the  inflo- 
rescence seems  to  form  an  immense  panicle,  or  decompound  spike,  with  the  branches  only  of  which  we  are 
acquainted  : these  emit  from  the  joints  alternate  fascicles  of  2 or  3 long  unequal  simple  spikes  ; on  these  last 
are  placed  alternate  dense  fascicles,  composed  of  several  sessile  subulate  acute  spikelets,  each  nearly  an  inch 
long ; the  lower  florets  are  sterile,  the  upper  ones,  in  all  we  have  seen,  purely  male,  without  any  bisexual 
one  : the  long  lower  valvelet  of  the  male  florets  is  oblong,  acuminated,  and  glabrous ; the  upper  one  very

small  in  comparison,  glabrous,  and  only  minutely  or  scarcely  at  all  ciliated  along  the  angles  of  inflexion,  com- 
monly called  the  margins.  We  have  not  seen  the  stem  or  leaves,  nor  can  vi’e  refer  it  satisfactorily  to  any 
described  species : in  many  points  it  approaches  to  B.  Blumeana,  Schult.  Syst.  Veg.  7.  p.  1343,  but  that 
species  is  said  to  have  the  spikes  or  branches  of  the  panicle  solitary,  and  the  spikelets  surrounding  the  knot 
on  all  sides  : the  other  parts  of  Schultes’  description  agree  pretty  well,  so  that,  perhaps,  our  plant  ought  to 
be  considered  a variety  of  B.  Blumeana^

quite  distinct.  Thunberg’s  description  is,  on  the  whole,  so  accurate,  that  it  is  unnecessary  here  to  give  a new' 
one.  The  leaves  vary  a little  in  shape,  being  sometimes  oblong,  sometimes  obovate.  The  petals  are  rather

Of  this  we  have  two  forms  before  us.  That  from  Bonin  has  oblong-lanceolate  gradually  acuminated  leaves, 
and  axillary  corymbs  : the  other,  from  Loo  Choo,  has  roundish-oval  suddenly  acuminated  leaves,  and  the 
inflorescence  from  the  uppermost  axils  only.  In  both,  the  young  foliage  is  covered,  particularly  on  the 
under  side,  with  a mealy  pubescence,  but  in  the  adult  state  it  is  glabrous.  In  many  respects  both  agree  with 
Roxburgh’s  description  in  the  Flora  Indica.

This  seems  to  be  the  species  described  by  Mr.  Brown,  but  he  adds  that  the  segments  of  the  perianth  are 
longitudinally  margined:  in  the  Loo  Choo  plant  the  margin  is  paler,  but  not,  that  we  can  perceive,  at  all

Our  specimens  agree  well  with  Sprengel’s  character  of  the  plant,  except  that  the  leaves  are  rather  ob-

and  concave,  and  almost  immersed  in  the  substance  of  the  leaf.  If  this  be  really  Willdenow’s  plant,  there  is 
probably  either  some  error  in  the  locality  given  by  that  author,  or  Messrs.  Lay  and  Collie  have  accidentally 
mixed  a part  of  the  Brazilian  collections  with  the  present  packet.  We  might  have  considered  it  C.  elaagni- 
folium  of  Vahl,  but  here  there  are  two  glands  at  the  base  of  the  leaf,  and  the  petiole  is  two  or  three  lines  in

This  is  very  distinct  from  any  Woodwardia  we  have  had  the  opportunity  of  seeing.  It  can  scarcely  be  the 
W.  orientalis  of  Swartz  (a  native  of  Japan)  of  which  the  pinnae  are  described  as  sinuato-pinnatifid.  The 
reticulation  on  the  laciniae  is  certainly  more  copious  in  our  plant  than  in  any  other  of  the  genus  ; but  its 
most  remarkable  feature  arises  from  the  copious  scaly  buds,  each  bearing  a young  frond,  which  appear  on  the 
upper  side  of  the  laciniae,  and  always  from  a certain  point  of  the  nervation,  in  the  upper  angle  of  the  costal 
nerves,  occasioning  a corresponding  depression  on  the  under  side.  Our  specimens  are  almost  entirely  desti-

remark,  how'ever,  that  there  seems  to  have  been  a considerable  mixture  of  the  specimens  collected  at  Loo

Mexican  collection  ; and  on  the  other  hand,  we  found  a bad  specimen  of  Gordonia  Lasiantlms  among  the 
Loo  Choo  collection,  although  we  thought  it  unnecessary  to  notice  it.

De  Candolle’s  var.  y,  they  are  lanceolate  and  much  attenuated  at  both  ends.  The  petals  of  this  genus  be- 
come hard,  dry,  and  persist,  and  have  a strong  middle  nerve,  which  is  canaliculate  on  the  upper  side  and

Our  doubt  as  to  this  being  Willdenow’s  plant  arises  from  the  stem  being  described  as  aculeated,  even  by 
De  Candolle,  who  gives  a reformed  character  from  the  figure  in  the  Flora  Mexicana.  In  our  specimen  there 
is  certainly  no  appearance  of  prickles  on  the  branches  that  bear  the  leaves  and  flowers  ; on  the  older  branches 
or  stem,  however,  from  which  the  former  arise,  the  (last  year’s  ?)  peduncles  are  either  wholly  converted  into 
stout  tendrils,  or  are  so  completely  abortive  as  to  resemble  sharp  tubercles.  Probably,  therefore,  as  the

botanical  character  hitherto  given  seems  to  be  derived  almost  entirely  from  figures,  these  tubercles  are  the

1.  Kallstroemia  maajMwa. — Tribulus  maximus.  Linn. — Hab.  Acapulco. 

Ehrenbergia  tribuloides  of  Martins  is  another  species,  and  seems  to  differ  from  the  more  common  one  by 
having  the  carpels  crested  at  the  back,  and  the  colour  of  the  flowers.  Here  the  carpels  are  slightly  muricated 
and  wrinkled.  Tribuhis  trijugatus  of  Nuttall  is  probably  the  same  species ; he,  no  doubt,  attributes  to  it  five  one- 
seeded  carpels,  but  as  there  is  little  doubt  that  his  plant  and  the  T7ib.  maximus  of  Elliott  are  identical,  we 
learn  from  Elliott  that  there  are  ten  seeds  ; and  although  Elliott  hesitates  about  his  being  the  true  T.  maximus, 
his  description  accords  in  every  particular  both  with  the  West  Indian  and  Mexican  species.

1.  Zanthoxylon  Pterota.  H.  B.  K.  ? at  forsan  Schlecht.  in  lAnn.  6.  p.  426. 

In  our  plant  the  leaflets  are  from  four  to  eight  pairs,  about  12  or  14  lines  long  and  4-6  broad  : the  petiole 
and  rachis  have  no  prickles.  In  a plant  allied  to,  or  a variety  of  this,  from  Texas  (Drummond,  Tex.  III. 
n.  68),  the  petiole  is  likewise  unarmed,  but  the  leaflets  are  much  smaller,  scarcely  more  than  4 or  3 lines 
long,  and  are  obovate.  The  only  prickles  in  both  are  in  pairs  at  the  base  of  the  petioles,  and  are  more  or 
less  curved. 

A specimen  of  Zanth.  piperitum  is  also  in  the  Mexican  collection,  but  we  presume  that  it  had  been'  acci- 
dentally transferred  from  that  made  at  Loo  Choo  and  Bonin.

carpellis  4 in  fructum  4-loculareni  4-lobatum  loculicido-dehiscentem  coalitis  obtusis. 

The  internal  structure  of  the  carpels  is  not  very  dissimilar  to  that  observed  in  Brunellia  and  Zanthoxylon. 
The  fruit  is  dotted  with  reddish  glands  ; the  seed  has  a black  shining  testa.  The  leaves  are  so  very  obscurely 
dotted  as  almost  to  be  impunctate  : they  are  about  2|-  to  3 inches  long,  and  from  2 to  2|  broad.  In  some 
respects  it  approaches  Zanthoxylon  Aubletia,  De  Cand.,  judging  by  De  Candolle’s  short  description  ; but 
that  has  the  carpels  quite  distinct,  according  to  M.  Adrien  de  Jussieu.

The  carpels  are  like  those  of  R.  santaloides,  W.  and  A.  The  leaflets  resemble  in  shape  those  of  Omphalo- 
hium  Lamberti,  De  Cand.,  but  are  smaller,  and  the  carpels  of  that  species  are  almost  obovate.  We  have

This  appears  to  be  only  suffruticose ; but  is  evidently  allied  to  M.  Rhacoma,  Sw. ; it  differs  from  Af.  Uragoga, 
by  the  glabrous  leaves,  besides  other  characters.  The  calyx  is  4-lobed.  Petals  4,  with  a broad  base. 
Stamens  4,  almost  as  in  Euonymus.  Style  1, 

In  the  Mexican  collection  are  specimens,  probably  misplaced,  of  what  we  have  already  described  and 
figured  as  Euonymus  Japonicus.

De  Candolle  compares  his  plant  with  R.  umbellatus,  Cav.  Ic.  6.  t.  504,  but  that  species  has  the  leaves 
almost  sessile,  while  in  our  plant  they  are  on  rather  long  petioles.  The  segments  of  the  calyx  persist  even 
while  the  fruit  is  ripe,  as  in  R.  umbellatus,  and  are  not  deciduous,  as  in  R.  ternijlorus,  De  Cand.,  or  Colu- 
brina  trijlora,  Brongn.  We  have  not  seen  the  petals,  but  Cavanilles  represents  them  cucullate  in  the  ana- 
logous R,  umbellatus.  The  fruit  is  drupaceous  : the  nut  is  scarcely  separable  into  nucules,  but  contains  four 
cells,  of  which  two  appear  always  to  be  abortive,  as  well  as  sometimes  one  of  the  remaining  two  : the  embryo 
is  flat,  as  in  the  section  Frangula  of  Brongniart.  R.  Humboldtiana  is  said  to  have  the  cells  2-seeded  ; but 
we  are  inclined  to  suppose  that  the  dissepiment  dividing  the  two  seeds  had  been  overlooked,  and  that  it  forms 
part  of  the  group  Antirhamnus.

being  much  more  tomentose  and  occasionally  wrinkled.  Rafinesque,  De  Candolle,  and  most  botanists,  place 
this  and  B.  suaveolens  in  a distinct  section,  Clibadium,  on  account  of  there  being  supposed  to  be  2-lobed 
glands  placed  under  the  ovary,  alternating  with  the  stamens  ; but  such  is  not  the  case : the  torus  or  disk  is 
orbicular,  with  10  crenatures,  two  of  which  are  between  each  pair  of  stamens,  and  have  been  mistaken  for 
glands.  The  petals  are  slightly  hairy  on  the  inside,  as  in  many  Sapindacece,  and  indeed  the  whole  plant 
bears  no  small  resemblance  to  Schmidelia.  There  is  one  simple  but  very  deeply  trifid  style,  not  three  short 
styles  as  usually  described.

This  is  probably  a distinct  species,  but  our  materials  are  scarcely  sufficient  to  afford  good  charaeters.  It 
is  smaller,  the  young  branches  and  under-side  of  the  leaves  very  silky,  and  often  inclined  to  a golden  hue.

This  seems  to  be  a tall  growing  plant,  with  small  leaves,  the  leaflets  but  little  more  than  half  an  inch  long  : 
the  racemes  a span  long,  man^^-flowered  ; the  beak  of  the  carina,  which  is  suddenly  curved  up  at  an  angle,  is 
very  long,  and  not  at  all  ciliated.

Of  this  plant  we  possess  a specimen  gathered  in  Mexico  by  Schiede,  and  named  D.  verbenacea,  from  the 
Berlin  Museum.  It  is  a little  less  silky  than  our  plant,  but  in  other  respects  the  same.  The  stems  are 
woody,  tall,  much  branched,  and  almost  every  branch  is  terminated  with  a spike  of  purple  flowers,  having 
very  silky  calyces,  and  of  which  spike  the  rachis  is  very  thick,  cylindrical,  pitted  with  depressions  for  receiving 
the  flowers.  Legume  ovato-subrotund,  laterally  compressed,  indehiscent,  1 -seeded. 

2.  D.  argyrostachys ; erecta  ramosa  fruticosa,  foliolis  10-14-jugis  ellipticis  carnosis

calycibusque  pulcherrime  nitido-sericeis,  dentibus  calycinis  subulatis  longitudine  florum. 

At  first  sight  this  has  the  appearance  of  D.  alopecuroides ; but  the  stems  are  altogether  shrubby,  the  leaves 
fleshy,  and  the  leaflets  smaller,  decidedly  elliptical,  obtuse  at  the  base,  where  the  little  petiole  is  inserted. 
The  rachis  is  broad  and  flat.  The  spikes  are  long  and  broad  (in  consequence  of  the  rather  large  flowers), 
most  beautifully  silky,  and  the  teeth  of  the  calyx  are  equal  in  length  with  the  corolla,  which  latter  appears  to 
be  yellow.

triangulari-compresso. 

This  species  and  the  foregoing  differ  considerably  in  habit  from  the  other  Dalece  that  are  known  to  us, 
especially  in  the  lineated  upper  side  of  the  leaves,  the  absence  of  black  glandular  dots,  the  decidedly  racemed 
fructification,  deeply  furrowed  calyces,  with  sometimes  glands  (which  are  not  discoloured)  between  the 
furrows.  The  petals  are  very  deep  and  bright  purple. 

(There  is  still  a 5th  and  very  distinct-looking  species  of  Dalea  in  the  collection,  but  too  imperfect  to  justify 
our  framing  a specific  character  for  it.  It  is  annual,  throwing  up  several  branches  from  the  base,  which  are 
long,  twiggy,  green,  striated,  and  glabrous.  The  few  imperfect  leaves  show  that  the  leaflets  are  4-5-jugate, 
linear-oblong,  glabrous,  with  black  glandular  dots  beneath.  Spikes  terminal,  on  short  branches,  ovato-cylin- 
drical,  dense.  Bracteas  ovate,  aristate,  ciliate,  as  large  as  the  calyx,  with  large  black  glands  on  the  back. 
Calyx  with  long  hairs  and  long  setaceous,  ciliated  teeth.) 

1.  Tephrosia  toxicaria.  Pers. — Plum.  Ic.  t,  13.5. 

This  seems  a very  variable  species  in  the  size  of  the  leaves  and  number  of  the  leaflets.  It  is  the  same, 
however,  as  what  we  have  received  from  Guiana  and  the  West  Indies,  and  which  we  believe  to  be  the  true 
T.  toxicaria.

A very  remarkable  species  of  Indigofera,  with  large  leaflets,  some  of  them  nearly  an  inch  in  length,  and 
legumes  nearly  2 inches  long,  erect,  slender,  8-10-seeded,  much  contracted  between  the  seeds,  and  internally 
separated  by  dissepiments  as  in  Sesbania,  yet  in  other  respects  the  habit  and  pubescence  are  quite  those  of 
the  present  genus.  Ind.  galegoides,  DC.  n.  39,  from  Ceylon,  has  the  foliage  and  the  long  erect. beaked 
legumes  of  this  plant,  but  the  fruit  is  broader  and  not  torulose.  1.  Domingensis  and  I.  disperma  are 
described  as  having  torulose  fruit,  but  their  other  characters  are  extremely  different  from  our  species.

through  the  middle  of  each  valve.  The  peduncles  evidently  have  many  flowers,  and  in  the  old  flower-stalks 
there  is  a large  tubercle  at  the  insertion  of  each  pedicel.

are  fewer  and  almost  entirely  glabrous,  the  stipules  are  wholly  wanting  or  they  soon  fall  away,  and  the  carina 
is  remarkably  large  in  proportion  to  the  rest  of  the  flower.  There  can  be  no  doubt  of  its  belonging  to  this 
genus,  which  again,  perhaps,  as  De  Candolle  suggests,  should  be  united  with  Peraltea  of  H.  B.  K.

Of  this  Order  there  are  two  species  in  the  collection,  but  both  appear  to  have  been  placed  there  by  acci- 
dent, and  were  probably  gathered  at  Loo  Choo  or  Bonin.  One  is  Photinia  serrulata,  Lindl.,  a variety  with 
oblong-obovate  rather  obtuse  leaves,  the  serratures  of  which  are  bluntish,  and  may  almost  be  called  crenatures. 
The  other  is  our  Rhaphiolepis  integerrima ; but  in  the  specimen  now  before  us,  although  many  of  the  leaves 
be  quite  entire,  others  are  crenato-serrated.  This  appears,  therefore,  to  be  Cratcegus  IcBvis  of  Thunberg, 
w'bich  is  usually  considered  a Photinia,  but  has  certainly  not  the  calyx  or  fruit  of  that  genus.

This  plant  does  not  accord  with  any  of  the  genera  described  by  De  Candolle.  It  belongs  to  the  Phexiaceoe,

incequilateralis  of  Schlechtendal  {Linneea.  5.p.  567);  in  that,  however,  the  connectivum  of  all  the  stamens 
seems  to  be  stipitate,  the  ovarium  to  be  crowned  with  a few  hairs,  the  inflorescence  to  be  axillary,  and  the  pair

Petala  quinque,  libera,  calycis  margo  quinquecrenatus. 

Of  this  order  we  find  two  other  species  in  the  collection,  both  without  leaves.  The  one  is  from  Talisco, 
and  has  the  flowers  capitate,  the  capitula  peduncled  and  disposed  in  a raceme,  as  in  many  species  o^  Actino- 
phjllum  and  Hedera,  but  has  only  two  styles,  as  in  Panax,  to  the  known  species  of  which  it  has  little 
resemblance.  In  the  other,  from  Topic,  the  flowers  are  umbellate,  from  fifteen  to  thirty  in  each  umbel : these 
umbels  form  a corymbose  pannicle,  the  branches  of  which  are  covered  with  a mealy  pubescence  that  is  easily 
rubbed  off ; there  are  five  styles,  which  are  united  into  one  to  near  the  middle,  the  upper  portion  being 
recurved.  This  is  perhaps  Aralia  pubescens. 

Ord.  XLV.  LORANTHACE^.  Juss. 

1 . Loranthus  calyculatus.  De  Cand.  ? 

The  structure  of  the  flowers  and  bractea  is  the  same  with  the  plant  of  De  Candolle,  but  the  young  branches 
are  angled  : we  should  have  supposed  it  to  be  L.  Scheidianus,  Schlecht.  (in  Linnsea,  5.  p.  172),  so  well  does 
it  generally  agree  with  the  description,  but  that  has  a corolla  three  inches  long,  while  in  ours  it  does  not 
exceed  half  that  length.  The  leaves  are  ovate-lanceolate,  falcate,  and  acuminated. 

In  the  collection  there  is  another  species  of  Loranthus,  or  perhaps  of  Viscum,  with  opposite,  oval,  acute,  or 
obtuse  leaves,  and  long  slender  branches,  but  there  is  neither  flowers  nor  fruit.

a different  form,  coming  suddenly  to  a very  sharp  point,  and  the  serratures  are  considerably  larger  and  more

unequal.  The  stems  are  leafy  to  the  top,  and  hence  the  flowers  are  axillary.  In  L.  mucronata,  the  leaves 
suddenly  become  bracteas  among  the  flowers,  and  then  the  flowers  are  said  to  be  racemose  ; but  this  we  con- 
sider no  permanent  character,  as  is  clearly  shown  in  the  following  species. 

2.  L.  lanceolata;  herbacea  pubescens,  caule  erecto  stricto,  foliis  sparsis  lanceolatis

filamentis  glabris — An  L.  rigidula,  H.  B.  K.  Nov.  Gen.  Am.  ‘B.  p.  311? 

This  belongs  to  the  same  group  with  the  preceding,  as  does  the  following,  and  it  is  possible  that  the  three 
may  be  varieties  of  one  and  the  same  species.  The  present  is  distinguished  from  L.  ovalifolia  by  the  shape 
of  the  leaves  and  nearly  glabrous  corolla,  and  quite  glabrous  filaments : from  L.  angulato-dentata,  by  its 
downy  stem  and  leaves,  which  latter  are  sessile,  more  rigid,  and  by  the  nature  of  the  serratures. 

3.  L.  angulato-dentata;  berbacea?  glabra,  foliis  sparsis  tenui-membranaceis  lato- 
lanceolatis  angulato-dentatis  basi  in  petiolum  brevem  attenuatis  apice  tenui-acuminatis, 
pedicellis  elongatis  solitariis  axillaribus  unifloris,  corolla  glabra  (rubro-flava  ?)  superne

fissa  5-fida  bilabiata,  labio  inferiore  bituberculato,  fructu  semisupero.  (Tab.  LXVI.) 

The  curious  spur-like  process  at  the  lower  margin  of  the  calyx,  in  the  sinus  of  the  two  shorter  laciniae,  both 
of  this  and  the  following  species,  varies  in  length,  and  the  base  of  the  corolla  is  prolonged  into  it.

5.  L.  cordifoUa ; annua  subcaespitosa  glabra,  caule  gracili  paniculate,  foliis  inferioribus

floribus  racemosis,  calycis  tubo  brevissimo,  ore  valde  obliquo  inferne  brevi-calcarato,

fissa  5-fida  bilabiata,  labio  inferiore  bituberculato,  fructu  semisupero. 

Nearly  allied  to  the  preceding,  but  very  different  in  the  foliage,  and  the  spur  of  the  calyx  is  much  shorter. 

6.  L.  divaricata ; parva  annua  ramosa  glabra,  ramis  divaricatis  tetragonis,  foliis  sub-

Of  this  curious  genus  there  is  one,*  perhaps  two  species,  in  the  Mexican  collection  of  Andrieux,  from  which 
the  excellent  Endlicher  has  derived  his  character  of  the  Genus  Antigonon,  and  which  he  has  rightly  placed 
next  to  Brunnichia,  in  the  order  Polygone^,  Trib.  III.  “ Polygonece  spuricE.”  Indeed  all  the  three  are  so 
closely  allied,  that  they  may  possibly  constitute  but  one  species,  the  only  striking  difference  I can  find  being 
that  Andrieux’s  specimens  (which  are  not  very  perfect)  have  singularly  dilated  footstalks  to  the  leaves.  In 
the  n.  1 17  of  Andrieux,  there  is,  on  each  side  of  the  stem,  at  the  base  of  the  petiole,  a rather  large  transverse 
stipule  ; but  in  the  other  specimen,  or  species,  the  base  of  the  petiole  is  continued  merely  in  the^form  of  a 
slightly  elevated  line  all  round  the  stem,  as  in  our  plant.  Perhaps  the  stipules  themselves  have  been  very 
early  deciduous.  In  our  specimen,  again,  there  is  a slight  difference  in  the  flowers,  which  have  three  outer 
leaves  of  the  perianth  considerably  larger  than  the  rest ; and  there  are  three  inner  ones,  of  which  one  is  gene- 
rally abortive.  Our  fruit,  though  fully  formed  in  appearance,  contains  only  an  imperfect  seed.

The  flowers  seem  to  be  all  female,  and  we  are  doubtful  to  what  genus  of  Laurinece  of  Nees  von  Esenbeck 
this  should  be  referred.  That  author,  indeed,  places  it  in  Nectandra,\i\A.  he  had  not  seen  the  flowers.  We 
are  rather  disposed  to  refer  it  to  his  section  OaEODAPHNEiE,  and  probably  it  may  come  under  Ocotea,  as 
now  circumscribed  by  Nees.

as  far  as  lay  in  our  power,  the  species  of  the  various  collections  made  during  the  voyage

was  the  last  place  visited  by  the  Naturalists,  But  the  collection  is  so  small,  the  speci- 
mens in  such  very  wretched  condition,  and  those  few  plants  which  can  be  determined  so 
well  known,  that  we  think  it  unnecessary  to  enumerate  them.  We  believe  we  shall 
further  the  cause  of  science  much  more  by  occupying  the  remaining  pages  of  our  work 
with  a Supplement  to  the  Californian  Collection,  which  we  are  enabled  to  do  from  that 
made,  chiefly  at  Monterry  and  San  Francisco,  (at  no  great  distance  from  the  coast,)  by 
the  unfortunate  Douglas,  as  narrated  in  the  Companion  to  the  Botanical  Magazine,  vol.  2. 
p.  n79,  &c.  ; and  from  another,  very  recently  sent  to  us  by  Mr  Tolmie,  from  the  Snake 
Country^'  in  the  interior  of  California.  This  is  a name  given  to  the  vast  extent  of 
Prairie  through  which  Lewis’  branch,  or  the  Snake  River,  holds  its  course.  Fort  Hall  is 
situated  at  the  confluence  of  Blackfoot  with  Snake  River,  near  Blackfoot  Flill,  in  N.  lat. 
42°  30',  W.  long.  114°.  Snake  Fort  is  built  at  the  junction  of  Reed’s  River  with  the 
Snake,  the  position  of  which  is  in  N.  lat.  44°  20',  long.  116°  W.  The  specimens,  in 
beautiful  preservation,  were  gathered,  in  the  summer  of  1837,  by  a friend  of  Mr  Tolmie, 
who  conducted  a party  from  Fort  Vancouver,  on  the  Columbia,  to  the  rendezvous  of  the 
American  Trappers,  in  the  interior  of  California.  Some  few  of  the  specimens  are  from 
the  “ Green  River  C for  the  meeting  of  the  Beaver  Trappers,  who,  to  the  number  of  500 
or  600,  are  scattered  through  the  Rocky  Mountains  and  adjacent  country,  was  lield  in 
that  year  in  the  valley  of  the  “ Green  River,”  a stream  which  is  considered  to  be  probablj^ 
the  main  branch  of  the  Rio  Colorado,  and  which  empties  itself  into  the  Gulf  of  California. 
There  is  not,  perhaps,  in  the  whole  of  North  America,  a district  more  interesting  to  the 
Botanist  than  that  from  which  these  plants  are  derived;  situated  near  the  western  foot  of 
the  Rocky  Mountains,  at  an  immense  distance  from  the  coast,  and  at  a great  elevation,  as 
may  be  inferred  from  the  fact  of  its  being  near  the  sources  of  two  great  rivers,  the  one 
having  its  course  to  the  north  (into  the  Columbia),  the  other  to  the  south  (into  the 
Gulf  of  California) ; and  whose  respective  windings  seem  to  circumscribe  the  whole  of 
New  California,  except  that  portion  of  it  which  is  washed  by  the  Pacific  Ocean.  If  other 
gentlemen  attached  to  the  hunting  expeditions  of  the  Hudson’s  Bay  and  American  Com- 
panies would  thus  occupy  a portion  of  their  leisure  time,  we  should  soon  be  as  well 
acquainted  with  the  vegetation  of  the  interior  of  this  vast  continent  as  we  now  are  with 
that  of  its  coasts.

CALIFORNIA.— SUPPLEMENT. 

Where  not  otherwise  mentioned,  it  is  to  be  understood  that  the  following  species  are  from  the  collection 
of  Mr  Douglas.  They  were  presented  by  the  Horticultural  Society  of  London,  in  whose  service  Mr  Douglas 
was  at  the  time  that  he  gathered  them. 


Ord.  I.  RANUNCULACEA:.  Juss. 

1.  Ranunculus  aquatUis.  L — Hook,  et  Arn.  in  Bot  of  Beech.  Voy.  v.  2.  p.  134.  Torr. 
et  Gray,  FI.  of  N.  Am.  \.p.  15 — var.  brachypus ; pedunculis  folio  brevioribus. 

This  var,  has  all  the  leaves  capillaceo-multifid : the  segments  divaricated.  Peduncles  less  than  an  inch 
long,  invariably  shorter  than  the  leaves. 

2.  R.  glaberrimus.  Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am.  1.  p.  12.  t.  5.  A.  Torr.  et  Gr.  FI.  1.  p.  19. 

Hab.  Snake  Country:  Blue  Mountains.  (Tolmie.') 

3.  R.  hebecarpus ; gracilis  ramosus  patenti-hirsutus  foliosus,  foliis  longe  petiolatis 
inferioribus  tripartitis  superioribus  triternatim  partitis  segmeutis  cuneatis  3-5-fidis,  pedun- 
culis oppositifoliis  folii  longiludine,  petalis  5 calycem  subaequantibus,  carpellis  suborbicu- 
laribus  cornpressis  stylo  recurvo  acuminatis  tuberculatis  hirsutis. — R.  pai'vifiorus.  y.  Torr. 
et  Gr.  FI.  \.p.  25. 

This  will  rank  near  i?.  Chilensis ; from  which,  how'ever,  it  is  readily  discriminated  by  its  smaller  size, 
fewer  flowers  and  petals,  more  deeply  divided  leaves,  and  especially  by  the  tuberculated  and  hispid  carpels. 
Tlie  much  more  hairy  leaves  and  carpels,  and  the  deeply  divided  leaves,  distinguish  it  from  R.  parvifiorus, 
Sm.,  to  which,  in  other  respects,  it  bears  a considerable  resemblance. 

4.  B.  dissectus ; caule  erecto  glabriusculo  ramoso,  foliis  radicalibus  inferioribusque 
longe  petiolatis  bi-tripinnatim  sectis  hirsutis  supremis  minus  divisis  sessilibus,  laciniis 
lineari-lanceolatis  acutissimis  basi  decurrentibus,  vaginis  elongatis  sulcatis  hispidissimis, 
floribus  subpaniculatis,  calycibus  reflexis  hispidissimis,  petalis  11-14  obovato-oblongis, 
ovariis  stylo  brevi  recurvato. 

A species  remarkable  for  the  much  divided  leaves  in  a pinnated  manner,  and  for  the  segments  being  broad 
and  decurrent  at  the  base.  The  flowers  are  large,  many-petaled.  It  may  be  placed  near  R.  orthorhynchus. 
Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am.  v.  1.  p.  21.  t.  9 ; like  which,  it  has  a root  formed  of  many  thickish  descending  fibres. 

1.  Isopyrum  occidentale ; apetalum,  radice  — ? petiolis  basi  vix  dilatatis,  capsulis  6-7 
oblongis  cornpressis  transversim  venosis  patentibus  stylo  filiformi  apice  recurvo  mucrona- 
lis  8-9  spermis. 

This  appears  to  belong  to  the  Enemion  of  Rafinesque  and  De  Candolle,  which  I can  only  consider  as  an 
apetalous  Isopyrum.  From  Enemion  biternatum,  which  I still  think  may  prove  a var.  of  I.  tJialic- 
troides,  the  present  one  differs  in  the  smaller  sepals,  scarcely  dilated  base  of  the  petioles,  and  especially  in 
the  more  numerous  capsules,  and  their  different  figure  and  direction,  and  the  number  of  seeds ; in  the

Enemion  trilernatum,  the  capsules  are  only  two  or  three  in  number,  reflexed,  broadly  ovate,  with  two  or  three 
oblique  veins,  two-  or  at  most  three-seeded,  tapering  gradually  into  a long  recurved  style.  This  also  seems 
to  be  the  structure  of  the  fruit  of  Isop  thalictr aides,  judging  from  Jacquin’s  figure  (F’Z.  Austr.  t.  105),  for 
my  own  specimens  of  that  species  do  not  possess  the  fructification. 

1.  Aquilegia  cceruha  ; calcare  stficto  subulato  limbiim  dupio  superante  apice  clavato. 
(Tab.  LXXII.) — Torr.  el  Gr.  FI.  \.p.  30. — A.  leptocera.  Nutt. 

Hab.  Snake  country,  between  Henry’s  and  Fish  Rivers.  {Tolmie.) — The  flowers  will  at  once  distinguish 
this  from  all  the  other  Aquilegice,  for  they  are  nearly  three  inches  in  diameter,  and  the  long  subulate  slender 
straight  spur  is  also  nearly  three  inches  long.  The  colour  is  probably  blue  in  the  recent  state,  nearly  white 
when  dry.

FI.  \.  p.  32. 

In  the  Californian  plant,  which  is,  I think,  identical  as  to  species  with  the  D.  grandiflorum  of  Siberia  and 
China,  the  upper  petals  are  yellow,  the  lower  ones  with  the  yellow  spot  less  distinct  than  in  the  variety  of 
the  Old  World,  and  the  leaves  have  shorter  and  thicker  segments.  In  one  of  our  specimens,  the  W'hole  of  the 
petals  are  variegated,  dingy  yellow  and  blue.

FI.  l.p.  31. 

Very  similar  in  the  structure  of  the  flowers  to  the  preceding,  but  these  flowers  are  larger  and  more  hairy. 
— From  the  coast,  Douglas,  to  the  Snake  Country.  {Tolmie.') 

4.  D.  (Delphinastrum)  simplex. — Dougl.in  Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am.  v.  l.p.  25. — calcare

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

5.  D,  (Delphinastrum)  exaltatum.  Ait. — De  Cand.  Prod.  v.  1.  p.  54.  Hook.  FI.  Bor. 
Am.  V.  1.  p.  25. — D.  Californicum.  Torr.  et  Gr.  FI.  1.  p.  31. 

These  are  very  fine  specimens,  with  their  densely  flowered  racemes  sometimes  a foot  in  length.  In  other 
respects,  this  plant  entirely  agrees  with  my  specimens  from  the  eastern  side  of  North  America,  Messrs 
Torrey  and  Gray  consider  it  a distinct  species. 

6.  D.  (Delphinastrum)  sarcophyllum ; petiolis  basi  dilatatis,  foliis  carnosis  sub-peltatis

A very  singular  and  most  distinct  species,  two  feet  and  more  high,  branched.  Leaves  principally  from  the 
base,  but  by  no  means  all  radical,  thick  and  fleshy,  of  three  deep  obcordate  and  lobed  segments.  Flowers 
in  large  lax  panicles,  of  a red-purple  colour,  with  a very  long  spur,  nearly  glabrous.  Petals  all  spathulate  ; 
the  upper  ones  longer  than  the  calyx,  much  exserted.  The  Z>.  nudicaule  of  Torrey  and  Gray,  though 
found  by  Mr  Douglas,  does  not  quite  accord  with  this  plant,  and  these  authors  do  not  notice  the  singularly 
fleshy  leaves.

Ord.  III.  PAPAVERACE^.  Juss. 

The  plants  of  this  family  in  Mr  Douglas’  collection  are  possessed  of  peculiar  interest ; affording,  as  they 
do,  eight  new  species,  and  three  new  genera  ; of  which  latter,  one  is  remarkable  for  the  beauty  of  its  blossoms, 
as  another  is  for  its  frulescent  habit  and  rigid  coriaceous  leaves  and  fruit,  an  anomaly  in  the  Order.  Some 
of  these  having  been  cultivated  in  the  garden  of  the  Horticultural  Society,  our  valued  friend  Mr  Bentham 
has  directed  his  attention  to  them,  and  has  admirably  characterized  the  new  genera  and  species  above  alluded 
to,  in  the  Transactions  of  the  Horticultural.  Society  of  London.  His  characters  we  cannot  do  better  than 
adopt.

culturist  from  its  beauty,  as  it  is  to  the  botanist,  from  forming  the  conneeting  link  between  the  Itanuncu- 
lacecB  and  PapaveracecB.  The  trisepalous  calyx,  and  numerous  distinct  ovaria,  would  have  placed  it  in  the 
former  Order,  were  it  not  for  the  structure  of  the  anthers,  the  very  deciduous  sepals,  and  the  general  habit, 
which  do  not  admit  of  its  being  removed  from  Papaveracea,  especially  considering  its  close  affinity  with 
EscJiscJioltzia,  {CJiryseis,  Lindl.)  through  Platystigrna  and  Dendromecon.” 

The  original  discoverer  of  this  curious  plant,  it  is  but  right  to  state,  is  Mr  Menzies,  who  gathered  specimens 
in  California,  during  the  celebrated  voyage  of  Captain  Vancouver,  and  distributed  them  to  his  botanical 
friends  in  this  country;  but  which,  I regret  to  say,  have,  along  with  many  other  of  his  treasures  thus  gener- 
oiisljf  dispersed,  remained  to  the  present  day  unpublished. — The  P.  leiocarpum,  Fisch.,  is  considered  by

A very  singular  plant,  as  Mr  Bentham  justly  remarks,  in  this  Order ; with  completely  woody  stems,  and 
rigid  pungent  leaves,  scabrous  rather  than  toothed  at  the  margin,  the  principal  nerves  few,  and  running  nearly 
parallel  with  the  midrib,  united  by  transverse  ones,  which  give  a reticulated  appearance,  particularly  on  the 
underside,  where  the  nerves  are  prominent.

mens  in  my  herbarium  ; and  it  results  from  this  examination,  that  Chamisso’s  original  plant,  gathered  at  San 
Francisco,  as  well  as  Mr  Menzies’  original  specimens  from  Monterry  (lat.  86°),  are  assuredly  what  we  have 
hitherto  called  C.  crocea.  If,  then,  the  species  be  really  distinct,  which  perhaps  may  admit  of  some  doubt, 
it  is  imperative  that  we  transfer  the  name  of  "Californica  ” to  the  plant  of  Chamisso,  who  1ms  so  well  figured 
and  described  it.  The  more  northern  plant,  the  principal  station  for  which  seems  to  be  from  lat.  40°  to  the 
sources  of  the  Multnomak,  in  lat.  43°,  may  then  bear  the  name  of  its  discoverer,  C.  JDouglasii.  The 
localities  they  inhabit  seem  to  be  also  different : the  Californian  Species  is  found  in  dry  sandy  (sea?)  shores, 
at  the  port  of  San  Francisco  {Chamisso)  ; the  northern  plant,  in  open  prairies,  on  the  banks  of  streams.

Hab.  Snake  Country.  Blackfoot  River.  (^Tolmie.) — Of  the  genus  of  this  we  are  very  doubtful,  the  fruit 
not  being  ripe,  though  the  siliquse  seem  fully  formed.  But  these  siliquse  are  quite  terete  (the  valves  being  con- 
cave), singularly  torulose  or  moniliform,  and  there  is  a great  disposition  (when  saturated  with  moisture)  in  their 
valves,  not  in  the  rest  of  the  seed-vessel,  to  break  at  the  joints.  The  root  is  perennial  ; from  the  summit 
of  which  arise  one  or  more  stems  12-14  inches  high,  branched  at  the  base,  and  above  also  bearing  many  short 
leafy  branches,  each  terminated  by  a dense  corymb  of  pale  purple  flowers.  Calyx  glabrous,  membranous. 
P,etals  obovato-lanceolate,  with  long  claws.  The  fruit  likewise  forms  corymbs,  about  an  inch  long,  slightly 
curved  upwards.  Seeds  in  a single  row,  oblongo-ovate,  minutely  dotted.  Embryo  unformed  in  our  specimen.*

* After  the  above  had  been  printed  under  the  name  of  Cardamine  ? torulosa.  Hook,  et  Arn.,  authentic  specimens  in 
Dr  Boott’s  Herbarium  have  proved  to  us  that  this  is  the  Pachypodium  integrifolium,  1.  c.  The  genus  is  founded  upon 
Macropodium,  laciniatum.  Hook.  Bot.  Misc.  1.  p.  341.  t.  68.  (which  has  much  compressed  pods)  ; and  is  separated 
by  Mr  Nuttall  from  Macropodium  (Br.)  on  account  of  the  incumbent  cotyledons  and  narrower  siliquae,  with  shorter 
stipes.  The  present  plant  has  the  siliquae  perfectly  terete  and  torulose,  and  scarcely  differs  from  Cardamine  or 
Arabis,  except  in  the  direction  of  the  radicle,  which  indeed,  though  dorsal  in  its  origin,  is  applied  obliquely  to  the 
cotyledons.

large,  oblongo-spathulate,  hoary,  with  minute,  dense,  stellated  down,  tapering  into  petioles,  which  are  dilated 
at  the  base,  quite  destitute  of  pubescence,  glossy,  and  of  a bright  straw-colour.  Scapes,  as  they  may  be 
called,  (rather  than  stems,)  scarcely  twice  the  length  of  the  root-leaves,  nearly  glabrous,  as  are  the  small 
oblong  leaves  which  they  bear  themselves.  Corymbs  of  many  large  bright  purple  flowers.  Young  siliquse

• Since  the  above  was  in  type,  we  have  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  the  fruit  of  this  beautiful  plant,  sent  to  Dr 
Boott  by  Mr  Nuttall,  as  his  Phcenocaulis  cheiranthoides.  This  fruit  indeed  differs  (as  may  be  seen  from  that  which 
we  have  now  added  to  our  figure)  from  Hesperis  (we  more  particularly  allude  to  H.  aprica'),  in  the  pods  being 
broader,  fewer,  about  (3)-seeded,  the  seeds  without  margin ; and  in  having  the  cotyledons  accumbent ; though  in 
our  seed,  which  had  a third  imperfect  cotyledon,  the  cotyledons  were  incumbent.  In  every  other  respect  the  flowers 
and  the  fruit  quite  agree  with  Hesperis,  on  which  account  we  are  led,  for  the  present,  to  continue  it  in  that  genus.

to  consider  them  other  than  varieties  of  the  same  species.  The  species  is  chiefly  distinguished  from  T.  cur- 
vipes by  the  much  longer  style,  and  the  scarcely  notched  apex  of  the  silicula.

A very  minute  plant.  The  flowering  speeimens  probably  do  not  equal  an  inch  in  height,  but  the  inflorescence 
runs  out  into  slender  racemes,  3 or  4 inches  long,  bearing  silieulae  to  the  very  base.  Tliese  are  scarcely  so 
large  as  flax-seed,  orbicular,  compressed,  and  not  distinctly  winged,  but  clothed  all  over  with  spreading  uncinate 
white  hairs.

One  of  the  most  distinct  of  all  the  species  of  this  extensive  genus.  The  root,  if  it  may  be  so  called,  seems 
to  be  a congeries  of  subterranean  filiform  stems,  agglutinated  together ; the  portion  of  the  stem  above 
ground  being  very  short.  Leaves  bi-  sometimes  even  tripinnatifid,  very  unlike  those  of  any  other  Viola. 
Flowers  large,  golden  yellow,  the  tw'o  upper  petals  with  a brown  cloud  on  the  outside,  the  lower  with  a very 
short  spur,  and  a few  dark  lines  above  the  base.  Anthers  slightly  combined.

Too  near,  I am  afraid,  to  V.  Canadensis.  It  is,  however,  a glabrous  plant,  very  slender.  The  leaves 
are  narrower,  the  flowers  smaller,  the  upper  petals  deep  purple,  the  two  lateral  ones  with  a purplish  spot 
above  the  beard,  the  rest  of  the  flower  nearly  white.

Mr  Nuttall  is  quite  correct  in  making  this  western  Oxalis  different  from  the  O.  Acetosella  of  Europe  and 
Eastern  America.  It  is  much  larger,  the  young  leaves  and  buds  and  the  petioles,  peduncles,  bracteas  and 
calyx,  and  underside  of  the  leaves  and  their  margins,  are  clothed  with  ferruginous  hairs.  The  description  in 
Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am,,  of  O.  Acetosella,  belongs  exclusively  to  that  plant : the  North-western  specimens,  and 
the  remarks  on  them,  belong  to  O.  Oregana.  It  was  first  found  by  Mr  Menzies  in  California.

p.  267. 

In  its  flowers  this  bears  a great  resemblance  to  the  preceding  ; but  the  leaves  are  very  different,  much  less 
strongly  nerved,  and  the  prominent  angles  of  the  stem  are  wholly  wanting.  The  ovary,  too,  is  smooth,  and 
does  not  present  three  projecting"  lobes  as  does  that  of  C.  thyrsiflorus.

* The  short  dense  glomerules  of  flowers  resemble  those  of  the  first  species  ; but  these  flowers  are  blue. 
The  germen,  too,  is  without  lobes.  The  branches  are  copiously  studded  with  resinous  warts ; in  the  more

We  agree  with  Messrs  Torrey  and  Gray  in  thinking  that  C.  macrocarpus,  Nutt,  (which  is  certainly  our 
original  Rhamnus  ? cuneatus'),  and  the  C.  cuneatus,  Nutt.,  constitute  in  reality  but  one  species,  differing  as 
they  do  almost  exclusively  in  the  colour  of  the  pubescence.  Both  have  the  same  balsamic  odour.  The  authors 
just  mentioned  are  likewise  disposed  to  consider  the  C.  verrucosus  of  Nutt.,  in  Torr.  et  Gr.  1.  c.,  as  another 
var.  of  C.  cuneatus.

more  copious  heads  of  flowers,  and  the  teeth  of  the  calyx  are  quite  entire.

About  a foot  or  more  high,  downy.  Flowers  large  in  proportion  to  the  involucre.  Corollas  long,  pale- 
coloured,  with  a dark  spot  on  the  keel : the  vexillum  very  blunt,  and  at  the  apex  slightly  toothed  or  jagged.

This  is  found  in  Chili  as  well  as  in  California  and  N.  W.  America. — It  varies  considerably  in  size,  from 
six  inches  to  a foot  or  more  in  height ; with  its  leaflets  more  or  less  narrow,  sometimes  obtuse,  sometimes 
quite  acute.  Segments  of  the  calyx  broad,  with  two  (lateral)  very  short  teeth  and  one  long  spinous  one.

This  is  a very  variable  species,  or  there  are  three  distinct  species  in  our  collections.  The  original  plant 
of  Lindley  has  short  teeth  to  the  calyx,  and  those  quite  entire  ; and  to  this  T.  spimdosum.  Dough  in  FI.  Bor. 
Am.  1.  p.  133,  must  be  referred.  Our  /3.,  gathered  in  California  by  Mr  Menzies,  has  obcordate  leaves,  but 
it  does  not  in  other  respects  differ  from  Dr  Lindley ’s  plant.  Our  two  other  vars.,  as  we  here  consider  them, 
are  in  the  present  Californian  collection,  var.  y.  having  the  lower  segment  of  the  calyx  always  deeply  3-fid, 
w’hile  our  var.  y.  has  larger  paler-coloured  flowers,  longer  teeth  to  the  calyx,  and  those  teeth,  in  the  greater 
number,  bi-  or  trifid.

the  relative  length  of  the  calyx  and  corolla.  The  corolla  is  in  reality  twice  the  length  of  the  calyx.  After 
flowering,  the  latter  becomes  longer  and  inflated,  and  quite  encloses  the  I-seeded  legume.

We  have  compared  what  we  have  here  considered  a slight  variety  of  P.  astragalina,  with  the  common 
alpine  and  arctic  state  of  the  jflant,  and  can  find  no  difference,  except  in  the  smaller  and  slenderer  flowers  and 
leaflets.  California,  however,  must  undoubtedly  be  considered  a very  southern  station  for  it.  It  is  scarcely 
distinguishable  from  P.  debilis,  Nutt.,  but  that  is  a Rocky  Mountain  and  not  a coast  plant.

Hab.  About  Snake  Fort,  Snake  Country.  ( PoZmee.)— Mr  Nuttall  had  considered  his  A.  argophyllus  as 
probably  the  same  as  the  A.  melanocarpus  of  Dr  Richardson  ; but  on  a comparison  of  specimens,  we  find 
that  not  to  be  the  case.  The  argophyllus  is  identical  with  the  A.  glareosus  of  Douglas.

This  is  a very  remarkable  species,  especially  in  the  structure  of  its  legumes.  These  are  obovate,  laterally 
compressed,  strongly  nerved  and  wrinkled,  with  the  introflexed  margins  (from  beneath)  reaching  nearly  to 
the  back,  so  as  to  divide  them  into  two  compressed  one-seeded  lobes.

Nearly  allied  to  Z.  linifolius,  Roth ; and  an  imperfect  specimen,  in  Dr  Lindley’s  collection  from  Douglas 
(California),  is  doubtfully  referred  to  that  species  by  Agardh.  But  it  is  truly  distinct,  in  the  more  truncate 
leaflets  and  the  much  smaller  stipules  and  bracteas,  which  latter  are  also  persistent.  Mr  Nuttall  found  it  at 
San  Diego,  N.  California,  and  his  name  we  adopt.  Flowers  deeply  tinged  with  purple.

1.  Nuttallia  cerasiformis.  Torr.  et  Gr.  FI.  ofN.  Am.  ined. — (Tab.  LXXXII.) 

The  greater  part  of  the  accompanying  drawing  of  this  entirely  new  genus,  was  made  from  imperfect  specimens 
gathered  on  the  Columbia  by  Mr  Douglas  and  Dr  Scouler  in  1825.  It  has  since  been  sent  me,  in  various 
states,  from  the  “margins  of  pine  woods,’’  in  the  same  country,  by  Dr  Gairdner  and  Mr  Tolmie,  and  from 
these  specimens  the  drawing  was  completed.  It  now  appears  in  Mr  Douglas’  Californian  collection;  and  I have 
lately  received  the  same  plant  from  Mr  Nuttall,  gathered  by  that  gentleman  on  the  Columbia,  and  bearing  the 
ms.  name  of  Nuttallia  cerasiformis  of  Torrey  and  Gray,  a name  which  I have  the  greatest  pleasure  in  thus  per- 
petuating. Nor  could  the  name  be  attached  to  any  plant  with  greater  propriety  than  to  one  inhabiting  a 
district  of  country  where  that  gentleman  has  so  eminently  signalized  himself  by  his  recent  laborious  researches 
and  discoveries.  We  here  subjoin  Mr  Nuttall’s  description,  drawn  up  on  the  spot,  as  copied  from  his  ms. 
by  my  friend  Dr  Gray,  and  which  shows  how'  well  he  distinguished  all  its  remarkable  features. 

“ A small  forest-tree,  about  the  size  of  Amelanchier  Botryapium,  exhaling  a faint  scent  of  Bitter  Almonds 
with  a smooth  brown  bark  on  the  branches,  and  alternate,  oblong,  entire,  thin  leaves.  Racemes  filiform, 
connected  at  the  base  with  a branchlet,  both  included  in  the  common  bud.  Leaves  alternate,  entire, 
cuneate-oblong,  apiculated,  and  attenuated  below  into  a short  petiole,  more  or  less  pubescent  or  glabrous 
beneath  ; the  same  bud  producing  both  leaf  and  raceme.  Raceme  pendulous,  and,  with  the  white  flowers 
and  unguiculate  oblong  petals,  resembling  Amelanchier  Botryapium.  Bracts  membranous,  narrow,  and 
acuminated.  Male  calyx  campanulate,  half-way  5-cleft.  Segments  lanceolate.  Stamens  about  12-15,  in- 
serted on  and  below  the  margin  of  the  calyx.  Female  calyx  dividing  circularly  towards  the  base  ; the  base 
remaining  beneath  the  fruit.  Stamens  minute  and  rudimental,  fewer.  Germs  5,  roundish,  2-3  usually  soon 
abortive  ; styles  filiform,  deciduous ; stigma  small,  2-lobed.  Germens  for  some  time  gibbous,  the  mature 
drupe  at  length  nearly  straight,  the  internal  indehiscent  suture  scarcely  visible  ; pulp  a mere  succulent' 
blackish-brown  skin,  furnished  with  a bloom.  Nut  1-seeded  ; no  perisperm  or  albumen.  Embryo  straight, 
the  radicle  inserted  towards  the  summit  of  the  fruit.  The  fruit  is  greedily  eaten  by  robins  and  other  baccivorous 
birds,  though  almost  bitter  to  the  taste,  and  with  the  heavy  odour  of  the  bitter  almond.’’

Herb.  Hook. — Torr.  et  Gr.  FI.  ined. — Hook.  Ic.  PI.  t.  323. 

This  species  comes  so  very  near  the  description  of  the  Mexican  C.  fotJiergilloides,  H,  B.  K.  Nov.  Gen. 
Am.  t.  559,  that  until  we  examined  specimens  lately  sent  by  Mr  Hartweg,  we  hesitated  whether  it  should 
not  be  referred  to  that  plant.  All  the  specimens,  however,  from  Mr  Douglas,  as  well  as  one  collected  by 
Mr  Nuttall  on  the  Platte  River,  have  the  leaves  smaller,  and  more  downy  beneath,  than  Humboldt’s  species,  the 
flowers  not  clustered,  but  geminate  and  recurved,  the  fruit  larger,  and  the  cauda  much  longer  and  more 
plumose.  A second  species,  found  by  Mr  Nuttall  (C.  hetuloides,  Nutt.  ms.  in  Herb.  Hook.,  and  Hook. 
Ic.  PI.  t.  322),  is  also  quite  distinct  from  the  Mexican  plant ; while  a third  species,  C.  ledifolia  (Nutt, 
ms.  in  Herb,  nostr.,  and  Hook.  Ic.  PI.  t.  324),  is  extremely  different  from  all  the  rest. 

■With  regard  to  the  genus  itself,  it  must  rank  very  close  to  Pursliia,  from  which  it  scarcely  differs,  except

in  the  absence  of  petals,  in  the  deciduous  calyx,  and  in  the  much  larger  and  plumose  style.  In  our  present 
species,  the  calyx  is  sometimes  carried  up  by  the  elongated  persistent  style,  on  which  it  remains  some  way 
below  the  apex.

We  can  perceive  no  difference  betw'een  Mr  Nuttall’s  two  supposed  species.  His  A.  brevifolia  is  but  a 
more  stunted  plant,  with  shorter  leaves.

Mr  Lindley  states  this  to  have  come  from  California ; but  our  specimens  were  collected  by  Douglas  in 
1835,  in  the  interior,  and  probably  in  Columbia.

H.  parvijlora,  Nutt,  ms.,  differs  by  being  more  villous,  by  having  fewer  leaflets  to  the  radical  leaves,  and 
the  accessary  calycine  segments  twice  as  narrow  as  the  others.  It  is  from  the  mountains  of  California.

Dr  Lindley  states  that  this  also  was  found  in  California,  but  our  specimens  from  Douglas  were  collected, 
in  1835,  in  the  interior  of  the  Columbia,  and  those  from  Nuttall  are  from  the  Wallamet  plains.  These  differ  in 
no  respect  from  the  plant  long  ago  figured  in  the  Bot.  Mag.,  and  are  distinguished  from  all  the  preceding 
by  the  lower  part  of  the  stem  and  petioles  of  the  leaves  being  very  hirsute,  with  long,  patent,  harsh  hairs. 
In  habit,  and  particularly  in  the  shape  of  the  segments  of  the  radical  leaves,  this  approaches  most  to  H. 
fusca.

soriis ovato-oblongis  subtrifidis  quam  interiores  lanceolatas  acutas  majoribus  petala  fere 
duplo  superantibus,  stipulis  pinnatifidis. 

Our  specimens  are  from  California.  When  we  compare  this  with  H.  Californica,  Cham,  et  Schlecht.  in 
Linnaea,  2.  p.  27,  we  find  so  many  points  of  resemblance,  that  we  are  almost  inclined  to  suppose  them  the 
same,  and  that  the  present  plant  may  not  be  completely  developed,  and  therefore  not  exhibiting  the  ample 
panicle  described  by  these  authors.  The  points  of  resemblance  are— 1.  H.  Californica,  like  ours,  does  not 
seem  to  have  the  flowers  capitate,  as  in  all  the  other  species,  but  has  them  disposed  in  “ panicula  multiflora 
ampla,  basi  pluries  dichotoma  cum  alari,  apice  racemosa.”  2.  The  outer  segments  of  the  calyx  are  broader  and 
less  sharp  than  the  inner,  and  are  usually  furnished  with  a small  tooth  or  incision  on  one  or  both  sides.  3.  The 
plant  is  more  villous  towards  the  extremity.  4.  The  leaves  are  large,  and  the  leaflets,  of  a similar  shape,  are 
few',  and  somewhat  alternate  or  pseudo-opposite.  5.  The  calyx  is  large,  and  the  petals  small. — The  chief 
discrepancy  lies  in  the  length  of  the  peduncles  ; in  our  plant,  those  belonging  to  the  lower  flowers  are  up- 
wards of  an  inch  long,  whereas,  in  H.  Californica,  they  are  said  to  be  “ sesquilineares,  inferior es  remoti 
majores."

These  specimens  of  Mr  Douglas  exactly  accord  w’ith  the  var.  y.  of  our  Chilian  A.  pinnatifida,  published 
in  the  Bot.  Miscellany ; and  we  now  doubt  very  much  if  the  A.  trifida,  R.  et  P.,  be  really  distinct  from  it. 
Our  specimens  are  in  very  fine  condition,  but  we  regret  that  they  do  not  exhibit  the  nature  of  the  fruit.

Of  the  plant  which  we  here  refer  doubtfully  to  R.  blanda,  there  is  one  fine  specimen  ; but  that  only  in 
fruit.  It  appears  to  belong  to  a tall  and  stout  growing  plant,  without  any  glossiness  on  its  purplish  stem 
and  foliage,  and  every  where  wholly  destitute  both  of  aculei  and  setae.  Leaves  closely  placed.  Leaflets  5-7, 
oval  or  obovate,  regularly  serrated,  except  at  the  base,  slightly  plaited,  generally  obtuse,  glabrous  (but  not 
lucid)  above,  downy,  with  short  soft  hairs  beneath.  Corymb  bearing  copious  flowers.  Fruit  globose,  and,  as 
well  as  the  peduncles,  quite  smooth  and  glabrous.  Sepals  uniform,  persistent,  spi'eading,  ovato-lanceolate, 
much  acuminate,  downy  and  slightly  glandular,  white  at  the  margin.  I

We  do  not  see  that  P.  nudijiora  of  Nuttall’s  ms.  in  Herb.  Hook,  differs  in  any  respect  from  the  present

This  singular  species  has  leaves  resembling  those  of  the  Holly,  equally  harsh,  rigid,  and  spinous  ; but  with

plicatis  striatis  torulosis. — Hook.  Ic.  PL  voL  IV.  (ined.) 

This  is  one  of  the  most  remarkable  species  of  the  group  with  which  we  are  acquainted.  It  has  a slender 
perpendicular  branched  root,  from  the  summit  of  which  arise  several  short  ascending  stems,  from  three  to  five 
inches  long,  the  central  one,  however,  erect,  and  alwaj^s  apparently  floriferous  from  the  base  to  the  summit, 
the  capsule  at  the  base  being  almost  mature,  while  the  upper  portion  is  only  in  flower.  Lower  leaves  almost 
equal  in  length  to  the  stems,  and  sometimes  nearly  an  inch  broad,  while  the  upper  ones  become  bractese  and 
are  shorter  than  the  flowers.  Flowers  pale  yellow,  and  retain  their  colour  when  dried,  as  in  CEn.  dentata,  Cav. ; 
they  are  copious,  racemose  and  secund,  the  upper  portion  of  the  raceme  being  recurved  until  the  flowers 
expand.  Petals  roundish,  obovate,  obtuse,  and  not  at  all  emarginate.  The  whole  habit  is  that  of  some 
species  of  Ahjssum,  or  rather,  perhaps,  of  Vesicaria.  The  capsules  are  about  an  inch  long,  contortuplicate, 
slender,  not  half  a line  thick  at  the  base,  slightly  attenuated  at  the  extremity,  somewhat  terete,  but  striated, 
torulose  by  the  constrictions  between  the  seeds.  To  this,  (E.  contorta,  Dougl.  in  Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am., 
seems  allied  : but  of  that  plant  we  possess  only  a very  imperfect  specimen,  and  it  seems  quite  distinct.

the  above  character ; and  we  may  observe,  that  the  figure  of  (E.  cheiranthifoUa,  Horn.  Bot.  Reg.  t.  1040,

of  Chili,  we  should  have  considered  it  the  same.  The  flowers,  as  in  all  the  following  individuals  of  this  sub-

specimen  we  have  seen,  the  capsule  is  thinly  covered  with  short  adpressed  hairs,  and  not  rough  with  spread- 
ing hairs,  as  in  Hornemann’s  plant.

breviore,  petalis  late  obcordatis. — Hook.  Ic.  PI.  vol.  IV.  [ined.) 

This  is  a small  annual  plant ; the  leaves  are  erect,  and  from  an  inch  and  a half  to  two  inches  long,  and 
scarcely  a line  broad  near  the  apex,  while  they  taper  gradually  downwards.  We  have  not  seen  the  fruit, 
but  the  ovarium  is  oblong.  The  flowers  are  large  in  proportion  to  the  size  of  the  plant.  It  is  very  distinct 
from  any  other  species  with  which  we  are  acquainted. 

(We  may  here  remark,  that  (En.  maritima,  Nutt,  ms.,  from  St  Diego,  in  California,  is  the  same  with 
CE.  viridescens,  Hook.  Flor.  Bor.  Am.  1.  p.  214 ; and  CEn.  [Gyrantkus)  lithospermoides,  Nutt,  ms.,  is 
CEn,  Boothiz,  Dougl.  in  Hook,  FI.  Bor.  Am.  ; while  the  CE.  pzygmcea  of  the  same  botanist,  1.  c.,  is  probably 
also  not  distinct  from  it.  Douglas,  in  the  Flor.  Bor,  Am.,  says  of  CE.  Boothii,  that  the  style  is  much  ex- 
serted  ; but  in  his  own  as  well  as  in  Nuttall’s  specimens,  it  is  scarcely  the  length  of  the  petals.)

Our  only  specimen  has  the  capsule  hirsute ; the  seeds  are  horizontal,  as  in  CB.  decumbens  and  CE.  lepida, 
from  both  of  which,  however,  it  is  readily  distinguished,  by  the  greater  length  of  the  fruit.  The  leaves  are 
more  pointed  than  in  the  cultivated  form  of  the  species,  and  slightly  toothed. 

6.  CE.  (Godetia)  lepida.  Lindl.  Bot.  Reg.  t.  1849.  ^ 

This  nearly  agrees  with  CE.  procumbens  in  the  form  of  the  fruit,  but  it  is  more  hairy ; the  stem  of  the 
present  species  is  erect,  and  the  leaves,  especially  in  the  wild  specimens,  are  slightly  hairy.  They  are,  how- 
ever, too  closely  allied. 

7.  CE.  (Godetia)  viminea.  Dongl. — var.  parviflora? 

Of  this  variety,  the  only  specimen  in  the  collection  has  flowers  as  small  as  those  of  CE.  quadrivulnera, 
from  which  it  differs  by  the  canescent,  not  hairy,  fruit,  and  by  the  infundibuliform  tube  of  the  calyx  being 
longer  than  the  ovarium,  even  longer  in  that  respect  than  in  the  usual  form  of  CE.  viminea.  The  calycine 
segments  are  as  long  as  the  corolla,  while  in  the  common  state  they  are  only  half  its  length.  If  new,  it  may 
be  distinguished  from  the  other  species  of  Godetia  as  follows : — Calycis  tubo  infundibuliformi  ovario  longiore, 
laciniis  corollam  sequantibus,  staminibus  corolla  duplo  brevioribus,  stylo  ultra  tubum  exserto,  stigmatis  lobis 

brevibus  ovalibus,  capsula  basi  crassiore  canescente,  seminibus  adscendentibus There  is  likewise  another 

plant  in  the  collection,  so  very  closely  allied  in  characters  to  the  common  appearance  of  CE.  viminea,  that 
we  feel  unwilling  to  separate  it  as  a species,  without  a more  numerous  set  of  specimens  ; in  it  the  branches  are 
acutely  angled,  and  the  habit  is  entirely  that  of  CE.  purpurea ; it  may  be  recognised  by  the  following  marks  : — 
Erecta  glabriuscula  glaucescens,  ramis  angulatis  apice  densifloris,  foliis  anguste  lanceolatis  acuminatis  denti- 
culatis,  calycis  tubo  infundibuliformi  ovarium  submquante,  laciniis  staminibusque  corolla  duplo  brevioribus, 
stylo  ultra  antheras  exserto,  stigmatis  lobis  brevibus  ovalibus,  capsula  basi  crassiore  demum  glabra,  seminibus 
adscendentibus. 

8.  CE.  (Godetia)  tenella.  Cav var.  (3.  tenuifolia.  Lindl.  ? 

We  have  two  forms  in  the  collection,  which  we  can  scarcely  distinguish  from  the  narrow-leaved  variety  of 
Dr  Lindley,  or  CE.  tenuifolia  of  Cavanilles : the  one  is  pale-flowered ; the  other  has  deep  purple  small 
flowers,  exactly  resembling  our  CE.  tenella,  var.  parviflora,  from  Chili.  It  differs  from  CE.  viminea  by  the 
very  short  calyx-tube,  and  from  CE.  Romanzovii  (which  appears  to  be  occasionally  cultivated,  under  the 
name  of  CE.  tenella,  in  our  gardens)  by  the  long  exserted  stigma.  Perhaps,  however,  these  characters  are 
variable,  and,  if  so,  several  of  the  allied  species  from  the  West  Coast  of  America  may  likewise  be  referred  to 
CE.  tenella. 

9.  CE.  (Godetia)  rubicunda.  Lindl.  Bot.  Reg.  t.  1856. 

Mr  Douglas’  specimens  are  imperfect,  and,  as  far  as  regards  the  colour  of  the  flowers,  resemble  the  figure 
of  CE.  roseo-alba,  in  Sweet  Brit.  FI.  Card.  t.  268,  'more  than  that  given  by  Dr  Lindley ; the  leaves  are, 
however,  much  narrower  and  more  acute,  and  the  species,  along  with  the  hybrid  CE.  bifrons,  Bot.  Reg.  t. 
1405  (not  of  Sweet  Br.  FI.  Card.  2d  Ser.  t.  386,  which  has  yellow  flowers),  tends  to  unite  CE.  roseo-alba  to 
CE.  Lindleyi.  All  the  three  species  have  ascending  seeds,  a capsule  attenuated  at  the  base,  with  the 
stigma-lobes  linear,  and  are  perhaps  most  easily  distinguished  thus  1.  CE.  roseo-alba,  stem  erect,  leaves 
oblong  or  lanceolate-oblong,  obtuse. — 2.  CE,  rubicunda,  stem  erect,  leaves  acuminated. — 3.  CE.  Lindleyi, 
stem  diffuse,  ascending. 

10.  CE.  (Godetia)  Lindleyi.  Dough? — CEn.  macrantha.  Nutt.  ms.  (certe). 

In  this  the  stigma-lobes  are  rather  shorter  than  the  usual  form  of  the  plant  from  the  Columbia.

The  bark  is  a shining  white,  with  a reddish  tinge,  and  readily  peels  off  from  the  stem.  Leaves  two  to 
three  inches  long.  Bracteas  leafy,  linear,  shorter  than  the  subulate  germen.  Petals  4,  somewhat  unilateral. 
Style  longer  than  the  stamens.  The  spike,  while  one  or  two  of  the  lower  flowers  only  are  open,  is  broad 
and  very  obtuse,  and  resembles  the  raceme  of  a Diplotaxis.

The  hairs  are  jointed,  and  some  of  them,  particularly  those  on  the  pedicels  and  branchlets  near  the  flowers, 
are  spinulose  at  the  joints  ; the  spines  verticillate  and  reflexed.  This  plant  has  quite  the  habit  of  Mentzelia. 
especially  in  the  broad  foliage  and  few-seeded  fruit,  and  the  B.  albicaulis  tends  to  unite  Acrolasia  of  Presl 
again  to  Bartonia ; indeed  we  scarcely  find  a single  character  left  to  distinguish  that  genus.  None  of  the 
species  can  be  said  to  have  more  than  5 petals : B.  ornata.  has  5 sterile  petaloid  stamens  ; B.  IcBvicaulis, 
pa7‘viJlora,micrantJia,2caA  probably  also  jB.  nuda,  have  the  petaloid  stamens  antheriferous  ; while  .B.  albicaulis, 
aurea,  and  Acrolasia  Bartonoides  are  destitute  of  the  petaloid  stamens.  In  B.  ornata,  laevicaulis,  and  some 
others,  the  stamens  are  very  numerous  ; in  B.  albicaulis  there  are  about  30  ; in  B.  micrantha  not  more  than 
20  ; and  in  Acrolasia,  10.  The  seeds  in  most  of  the  species  are  very  numerous ; in  B.  albicaulis  fewer ; but 
in  B.  micrantha,  and  in  Acrolasia  they  are  reduced  by  abortion  to  one  to  each  placenta,  placed  in  the  cap- 
sule one  above  the  other.  The  only  difference  then  between  Acrolasia  and  Bartonia  lies  in. the  style  of  the 
former  not  being  twisted,  and  spirally  twisted  in  the  latter  ; but  that  character  again  is  weakened  by  our  present 
species,  for  here  the  style  is  so  slightly  twisted  as  scarcely  to  be  perceptibly  so.  From  Bartonia  we  do  not  see 
how  Mentzelia  can  well  be  distinguished.  Kunth’s  two  species  have  10  petaloid  fertile  outer  stamens ; M. 
hispida  10  outer  subulate  stamens,  longer  than  the  others  ; while  in  M.  aspera  and  oligosperma  they  are

Hab.  Common  throughout  the  interior  of  the  Snake  Country.  Mr  Tolrnie. 

The  specimens  from  the  Snake  Country  of  California  consist  of  flowers  only,  but  those  in  a most  beautiful 
state.  Others,  collected  by  Mr  Tolrnie  himself,  to  the  north  of  the  Columbia,  have  the  leaves  and  roots 
quite  perfect,  and  the  flowers  with  capsules  almost  fully  formed.  Thus  we  are  enabled  to  give  a more 
complete  account  than  has  yet  appeared  of  this  plant,  so  well  known  to  the  Indians  of  N.  W.  America,  and 
so  much  employed  by  them  as  an  article  of  food.  We  may  premise,  that  the  account  of  the  foliage  and 
scapes  and  flower-buds,  given  in  the  Botanical  Miscellany,  is  quite  correct.  But  the  roots  were  imperfect, 
from  having  been  prepared  for  food  ; in  which  operation  not  only  the  fibrous  parts  are  removed,  but  the  whole 
of  the  bark  also,  (dark  brown  externally,  bright  red  within,)  leaving  only  the  nearly  pure  white  fleshy  inner  por- 
tion of  the  root.  The  flowers  are  large,  the  scapes  succulent,  jointed  above  the  middle,  and  involucrated  with 
5-7  subulate  membranous  scales.  Sepals  about  7,  orbiculari-ovate,  membranous,  spreading,  obtuse,  pale 
brown,  persistent.  Petals  8-10,  of  a delicate  filmy  texture  and  rose  colour,  2 or  3 narrow  and  almost  linear, 
the  rest  ovate  acute,  spreading,  marcescent,  and  ultimately  twisting  around  the  stamens  and  pistil,  while  the 
sepals  retain  their  form  and  colour.  Stamens  numerous,  inserted  at  the  base  of  the  calyx.  Filaments  slender, 
shorter  than  the  petals.  Anthers  linear-oblong,  yellow,  slightly  bifid  at  each  extremity,  inserted  by  the  back 
just  above  the  fork.  Ovary  globose-ovate,  finely  striated,  and  contracted  at  the  base  into  a very  short  thick 
stipes.  Style  persistent,  but  apparently  jointed  with  a dark  line  a little  above  the  base,  and  then  dividing 


Gi'osstilariece^

into  about  6 filiform  downy  stigmas.  Capsule  coriaceously  membranaceous,  as  in  Cerastium,  globose,  ter- 
minated by  the  style  and  stigmas,  and  firmly  surrounded  by  the  twisted  withered  corolla,  separating  trans- 
versely at  the  base,  and  there  cleft  into  about  6 segments,  leaving  the  short  stipes  in  the  form  of  a fleshy  ring. 
Seeds  numerous,  dark-brown,  hard,  shining,  smooth,  reniformi-globose,  each  attached  to  a long  white  podo- 
sperm,  arising  from  the  base  of  the  cell.  Embryo  terete,  yellow,  curved  round  the  white  mealy  albumen. 
Radicle  short.  Cotyledons  long,  unequal. 

We  do  not  find  all  the  petals  equal  and  narrow-lanceolate,  as  represented  by  Mr  Nuttall. 

Mr  Nuttall  considers  this  plant  as  intermediate  between  FicoidecB  and  CactoidecB ; but  the  above  descrip- 
tion and  accompanying  plate  confirm  the  views  we  have  all  along  entertained  of  its  close  affinity  with  Portu- 
lacecR.  With  that  Order  it  agrees  in  the  one-celled  capsule,  the  long  podosperms  and  stigmas,  the  structure  of 
the  seed-coat,  albumen,  and  embryo,  and  with  some  of  the  species  in  the  marcescent  corolla  twisting  round  the 
pistil.  It  differs  principally  in  the  more  numerous  sepals  (Torrey  and  Gray  having  lately  limited  Portulacea 
to  those  genera  which  have  two  or  rarely  three  sepals),  and  by  the  capsule  bursting  from  the  base  upwards. 
If,  however,  it  be  thought  necessary  to  form  of  it  a new  Order,  surely  the  name  Lewisieas  is  much  to  be  pre- 
ferred to  the  barbarous  one  given  by  Nuttall,  derived  from  that  by  which  the  plant  is  known  to  some  of 
the  Indian  tribes.

specimens  collected  by  Menzies.  In  the  Flor.  Bor.  Am.  it  is  united  to  R.  sanguineum,  from  which,  how- 
ever, we  are  now  convinced  it  is  perfectly  distinct,  on  account  of  the  short  pedicels.  Both  these  species

Some  of  the  young  vigorous  unbranched  shoots,  which  are  from  a foot  and  a half  to  two  feet  long,  are 
clothed  with  numerous  rigid  bristles  or  prickles,  which  give  those  portions  of  the  plant  a very  different  ap- 
pearance from  that  in  which  it  is  usually  figured  and  described.  We  have  seen  no  fruit.

This  differs  from  R.  niveum,  Lindl.  (with  which  we  are  only  acquainted  from  the  figure  in  the  Bot.

oblong-linear,  sessile  and  irregularly  laciniate,  and  the  styles  only  two.  From  this  sub-genus  we  of  course 
exclude  Mitella  trifida,  to  include  which  Nuttall  has  given  a very  different  character.  The  present  species 
varies  extremely  in  the  size  of  the  foliage,  the  leaves  being  sometimes  only  one  inch,  in  other  specimens  two

The  filaments  are  not  longer  than  the  lobes  of  the  calyx.  It  appears  to  be  a very  distinct  species,  ap- 
proaching, in  the  short  stamens,  to  H.  cylindrica,  Dough,  but  with  a totally  different  habit.  The  short 
styles  are  slightly  at  variance  with  the  generic  character  usually  given,  but  in  H.  cylindrica  they  are  almost 
as  short.  In  H.  cylindrica  no  petals  have  been  observed,  here  they  are  extremely  caducous,  so  much  so  as 
not  to  be  found  soon  after  the  flower-buds  expand.  It  is  therefore  probable,  that  they  may  be  also  present

that  it  is  the  same  as  Aster  Californicus,  Less. — We  may  here  remark,  that  we  do  not  well  see  how  this 
plant  and  Erigeron  glaucum,  Ker,  differ  ; the  latter  is  supposed,  by  Ker,  to  have  come  from  South

The  pappus  of  P.  carthamoides,  as  well  as  of  the  present  species  and  of  the  following,  is  certainly  in  a 
double  series,  the  outer  row  similar  to  the  inner,  but  shorter  and  more  slender.  There  is  therefore  reason  to 
fear  that  the  genus  must  be  either  distinguished  from  Aplopappus  solely  by  the  homogamous  capitula  (but 
there  are  some  Chilian  species  of  Aplopappus  without  a ray)  and  tawny  rigid  patulous  pappus,  or  the  two 
should  be  united.

Although,  in  deference  to  De  Candolle,  we  admit  this  as  a distinct  species,  we  still  hesitate  about  its  being 
really  different  from  B.  glomeruliflora.  Our  var.  «.,  of  this  work,  we  would  refer  to  B.  consanguinea,  cer- 
tainly, and  the  female  of  /3.  to  B.  pilularis,  which  has  the  capitula  solitary : the  male  of  our  var.  /3.  may  be- 
long to  either.

1.  Coniothele  Californica.  De  Cand.  Prod.  5.  p.  531. 

The  description  given  by  De  Candolle  is  extremely  correct : he  has  omitted,  however,  to  take  notice  of 
a remarkable  structure  in  the  ray  : the  ligula  is  oblong,  very  obtuse,  cordate  at  the  base,  destitute  of  tube, 
and  therefore  sessile  on  the  top  of  the  ovarium,  embracing  the  base  of  the  style.  The  florets  of  the  disk  are 
broadly  infundibuliform ; the  anthers  included,  as  well  as  the  abortive  style  and  capitate  stigma ; these  are 
apparently  quite  destitute  of  an  ovary.  The  achenia  (of  the  ray)  possess  that  remarkable  property  noticed 
by  De  Candolle,  which  was  first  observed  in  the  seed  of  the  genus  Gilia,  and  of  the  common  Cress,  of 
emitting  horizontal  filaments,  which,  after  being  kept  some  time  in  water,  unite  and  form  a radiately  striated 
gelatinous  mass  or  limbus,  equal  in  thickness  to  the  seed  itself.  Mr  Joseph  Hooker  has  observed  the  same 
peculiarity  in  one  or  two  species  of  Composites  from  Van  Diemen’s  Land. 

1.  Leptosyne  Douglasii.  De  Cand.  Prod.  b.  p.  531. 

The  florets  of  the  disk  have  the  style  abortive ; the  achenia  of  the  ray  are  surrounded  by  a winged  margin, 
and  have  the  pappus  coroniform.

De  Candolle,  1.  c.  p.  590,  names  H.  longifolius,  of  the  Flor.  Bor.  Am.,  H.  Hooherianus  ; and  again,  by 
some  inadvertency,  unites  it,  in  the  Mantissa,  Prod.  VII.  p.  290,  to  H.  Californicus.  These  two  are,  how- 
ever, perfectly  distinct,  and  probably  belong  to  different  genera.  The  Californian  form  of  H.  longifolius. 
Hook.,  or  H.  Hooherianus,  DC.,  may  perhaps  be  distinct  from  the  North  West  Coast  plant,  but  they  agree 
nearly  in  the  involucre  and  in  the  pappus. — We  have  also  another  species  of  Helianthus,  with  alternate  upper 
leaves,  which  are  petiolate,  rhomboidal,  ovate,  bluntish,  and,  as  well  as  the  stem,  scabrous  with  very  short 
whitish  hairs  ; pappus  of  one  or  two  aristas  ; achenia  glabrous  ; the  scales  of  the  involucre  foliaceous,  patulous, 
and  obtuse.  This  we  cannot  refer  satisfactorily  to  any  described  species,  but  in  the  imperfect  state  of  the 
specimen  before  us  we  decline  offering  any  further  remarks.

and  all  of  nearly  equal  height.  The  flowers  retain  their  bright  yellow  colour,  while  in  almost  all  the  other 
species  there  is  a strong  disposition  to  turn  green.

while  that  of  the  disk  is  almost  as  long  as  the  corolla.  We  have  some  doubts  whether  this  genus  ought  to  be 
placed  next  Palafoxia,  among  the  Eupatoriaceas,  or  next  Hymenopappus,  as  has  been  proposed  by  De 
Candolle.  The  branches  of  the  style  are  long,  linear,  and  acuminated,  and  we  have  not  perceived  any  trace 
of  the  “short  obtuse  cone”  which  De  Candolle  describes;  the  branches  are  hirsute  from  a little  above  their 
separation  to  the  very  apex  : all  this  agrees  with  Eupatorinecs,  but  here,  if  we  mistake  not,  the  stigmatic  lines 
run  on  to  the  summit.

Very  closely  allied  to  C.  Douglasii  or  Hymenopappus  Douglasii,  Hook.  Flor.  Bor.  Am.  1.  p.  316, 
which  is  still  retained  in  the  latter  genus  by  De  Candolle,  although  it  has  the  short  outer  pappus  and 
the  widened  florets  of  the  ray  of  Chcenactis.  C.  Douglasii  is  more  glabrous  than  the  present  species,  has 
the  pinnse  of  the  leaves  larger  and  less  divided,  the  involucre  large  and  nearly  hemispherieal,  and  very  densely 
or  almost  tomentosely  pubescent,  the  pappus,  as  w’ell  as  the  hairs  of  the  hirsutely  villous  achenia,  tawny,  and 
the  branches  of  the  style  straight  and  much  exserted.  The  first  three  species  have  the  tube  of  the  corolla 
glabrous,  and  the  scales  of  the  pappus  about  five  or  six  ; but  in  C.  achillecefolia  and  C.  Douglasii,  the  tube  is 
more  or  less  glandular,  and  the  scales  of  the  pappus  from  eight  to  twelve.

Of  this  we  have  received  one  specimen,  from  the  herbarium  of  the  Hort.  Soc.  of  London,  under  the  name 
of  Lasthenia  glabrata.  Indeed,  Hologrjmne  glahrata,  Lasthenia  glaberrima,  Burrielia  gracilis,  and  the 
present  plant,  are  so  similar  in  appearance,  as  to  be  often  confused  in  herbaria  and  in  gardens.  The  four 
may,  however,  at  all  times,  and  under  all  aspects,  be  readily  distinguished  by  attending  to  the  involucre  and 
pappus.  Burrielia  Lasthenia  have  a paleaceous  pappus — Hologymne  and  Baeria  none; — on  the  other 
hand,  in  Burrielia  and  Baeria  the  leaflets  of  the  involucre  are  distinct  from  each  other,  in  Lasthenia  and 
Hologymne  they  are  united.  ,

The  specimens  collected  by  Mr  Douglas,  and  named  by  De  Candolle  H.  puberulum,  are  younger,  taller, 
less  branched,  and  not  so  dark  coloured  when  dry,  as  those  from  Chamisso’s  and  Beechey’s  collection  ; but 
they  all  appear  to  us  to  belong  to  the  same  species.  De  Candolle  says  the  lower  leaves  are  incised,  but  these 
we  have  not  seen.

The  Californian  plant  belongs  to  the  var.  jS.  Besides  those  mentioned  by  De  Candolle,  Sclerocarpus  exi- 
guus,  Sm.  in  Rees’  Cycl.  (De  Cand.  Prod.  5.  p.  566),  belongs  to  the  present  genus.  It  is  a slender  species, 
about  four  inches  high  ; leaves  free  from  glands,  half  an  inch  long  and  half  a line  broad  ; branches  filiform, 
few,  leafless,  one-flowered,  about  an  inch  and  a half  long,  with  a few  glandular  hairs  near  the  apex  ; involucre 
of  few  leaves,  covered  with  glandular  hairs ; flowers  of  the  ray  from  four  to  seven ; the  ligula  small  and 
inconspicuous  ; the  florets  of  the  disk  are  quite  abortive. 

1.  Hemizonia  congesta.  De  Cand.  Prod.  b.  p.  692. 

Our  specimen  is  shrubby  at  the  base,  the  leaves  linear-lanceolate  and  quite  entire.  The  first  section  of 
this  genus  is  so  closely  allied  to  Madaria,  both  in  character  and  habit,  that  we  can  point  out  no  mark  by 
which  it  may  be  readily  distinguished,  except  that  the  achenia  are  obovate  trigonous,  the  flat  face  being 
towards  the  disk  ; while  in  Madaria,  the  achenia  are  laterally  compressed.  The  stipes  is  remarkably 
curved  up  against  the  face  of  the  achenium. 

2.  H.  multicaulis  ; herbacea  multicaulis,  caulibus  simpliciusculis  vel  apice  corymbose

plurinerviis  glabriusculis,  caulinis  villosiusculis  longe  linearibus,  inferioribus  oppositis 
serrulatis  villosiusculis,  superioribus  alternis  subintegerrimis,  capitulis  bracteatis  2-3-nis 
congestis,  acheniis  obovatis  obtusis  stipite  rostelliformi  inflexo. 

We  cannot  persuade  ourselves  that  this  is  a mere  form  of  the  preceding,  to  which,  however,  it  is  very 
closely  allied,  except  in  habit.  The  root  seems  annual,  or  rather  biennial,  while  H.  congesta  appears  quite 
woody  at  the  base.  To  the  description  given  by  De  Candolle  of  H.  luzulaefolia,  this  certainly  approaches  ; 
but  there  is  no  corymb,  and  we  do  not  find  palese  over  the  whole  receptacle.

We  cannot  refer  this  satisfactorily  to  any  of  De  Candolle’s  species;  it  may  be  perhaps  his  H.  luzulcefolia, 
but  the  stem  and  leaves  can  neither  be  called  villous  nor  hirsute.

The  corymb  is  lax,  the  primary  branches  bear  a few  glanduliferous  bracteas  or  leaves,  but  the  stalk  that 
supports  the  capitulum  is  slender,  quite  naked,  and  rigid.  In  habit  it  is  very  dissimilar  to  the  other  species.

To  this  we  presume  a specimen  we  have  from  Mr  Douglas  belongs,  but  it  differs  considerably  from  the 
definition  given  by  De  Candolle.  In  that  before  us  the  stem  seems  to  have  been  decidedly  shrubby,  branched 
only  towards  the  extremity,  the  branches  simple,  or  sometimes  bearing  again  a couple  of  branches  at  the  apex  ; 
these,  as  well  as  the  foliage,  are  slightly  hairy  ; leaves  linear,  lower  ones  about  an  inch  and  a half  long,  and 
decreasing  upwards  to  scarcely  half  an  inch  ; about  half  a line  broad,  quite  entire,  often  bearing  fascicles  of 
young  leaves  in  their  axils.  Capitula  sessile,  solitary,  terminal,  or  on  very  short  leafy  axillary  opposite 
nearly  terminal  branchlets ; involucre  bracteated ; bractese  and  uppermost  leaves  terminated  by  a sessile 
brow’n  shining  gland  ; leaves  of  the  involucre  terminated  by  a large  thick  cylindrical  gland,  concave  at  the 
apex,  the  margin  serrated,  the  serratures  thick,  cylindrical,  and  resembling  callous  glands.  Achenium  obovate, 
gibbous,  without  any  beak ; receptacle  covered  with  palese,  which  are  curiously  and  irregularly  united  toge- 
ther, like  honeycomb,  at  the  base — De  Candolle  says  of  his  plant,  “ Priori  {H.  luzulcBfoliae)  prima  fronte 
simillima,”  whereas  ours  bears  no  resemblance  to  any  other  of  the  genus.

De  Candolle’s  description  agrees  well  with  our  wild  specimens  from  Douglas,  but  not  with  the  figure  in  the 
Bot.  Register,  which,  however,  appears  to  be  the  plant  generally,  if  not  solely,  cultivated  under  this  name. 
Lindley,  indeed,  says,  that  the  pappus  there  represented  to  the  florets  of  the  disk,  was  introduced  by  an 
inadvertency  of  the  draughtsman  ; but  seeds  sent  to  the  gardens  of  St  Petersburgh  and  Breslau,  produced 
plants  with  a pappus.  The  branches  of  the  style  of  the  florets  of  the  disk  present  also  a different  appearance.

This  genus  differs  from  Oxyura  by  the  achenia  of  the  disk  having  a pappus  and  being  pubescent ; from 
Callichroa,  by  the  form  of  the  achenia,  the  entirely  paleaceous  receptacle,  and  the  pappus  being  unequal  in 
length  and  rather  more  paleaceous  ; from  Hartmannia,  by  the  paleee  of  the  pappus  not  being  membranous, 
and  the  form  of  the  achenia  of  the  ray  ; and  from  Madaraglossa,  by  the  paleae  of  the  pappus  not  plumosely 
ciliated  or  villous  at  the  base.  It  is  unnecessary  to  propose  a new  generic  character,  as  that  given  by  Fischer 
and  Meyer,  combined  with  Schauer’s  observations,  1.  c.,  under  Oxyura  and  Callichroa,  is  sufficient.

unnoticed  as  such  by  De  Candolle.

The  paleae  to  the  florets  of  the  disk  are  about  eight  in  number  (not  five  as  in  De  Candolle’s  generic  cha- 
racter), equal  in  length,  but  unequal  in  breadth,  and  are  irregularly  inciso-serrated  towards  the  apex  ; the 
terminal  tooth  or  segment  being  very  acute,  so  that  the  paleae  can  scarcely  be  called  obtuse  as  they  are  de- 
scribed in  De  Candolle’s  Prodromus.

to  be  united  to  Oxyura.

This  is  a very  remarkable  plant,  more  like  a species  of  Navarretia  among  the  PolemoniacecB  than  one  of 
the  present  Order.  We  can  find  no  trace  of  it  in  De  Candolle’s  Prodromus.

being  that  in  the  latter  the  paleae  of  the  receptacle  are  all  placed  between  the  ray  and  the  disk,  not  spread 
over  it.  The  above  species  we  have  not  received  from  Douglas.  Larjia  we  retain  to  a leguminose  plant

The  flowers  are  white.  The  upper  leaves,  peduncles  below  the  capitulum,  and  involucre,  are  furnished 
with  a few  stipitate  black  glands  among  the  coarse  short  bristles,  which  have  been  overlooked  by  De 
Candolle.  There  are  no  palese  on  the  receptacle,  except  those  which  separate  the  disk  from  the  ray.  De 
Candolle  has  inadvertently  said,  that  the  achenia  of  the  ray  are  villous  ; those  of  the  disk  are  so,  but  of  the 
ray  glabrous.  The  name  Blepharipappus  may  be  retained  to  B.  scaber,  Hook.  The  present  has  quite  a differ- 
ent habit,  a paleaceous  receptacle  apparently  abortive,  florets  to  the  disk,  achenia  of  the  ray  as  well  as  of  the  disk 
villous  and  crowned  with  a pappus  composed  of  about  fifteen  so  densely  plumose  palese,  that  they  might 
almost  be  termed  oblong  membranaceous,  with  a strong  midrib,  and  pectinately  divided.  The  style  has 
two  short  branches.  In  the  genus  Layia  {Eriopappus  or  Madaraglossa,)  however,  the  pappus  of  the  disk 
consists  of  8 or  10  aristaeform  paleae,  nearly  naked  at  the  apex,  but  plumosely  ciliated  with  long  soft  hairs 
at  the  base,  and  the  branches  of  the  style  are  long  and  slender  ; these  last  are  not  included,  as  De  Candolle 
states,  but  exserted  and  recurved.

The  flowers  in  the  dried  plant  appear  pale  yellow,  but  may  have  been  w’hite,  as  in  the  two  preceding. 
The  receptacle  of  the  disk  is  free  from  paleae,  and  the  pappus  pure  white,  as  in  L.  glandulosa.  The  achenia 
of  the  ray  are  glabrous ; not  so,  however,  those  of  the  disk,  as  mentioned  by  De  Candolle.  These  are 
covered,  in  the  matured  fruit  sparingly  with  adpressed  greyish  hairs.

four-angled,  slightly  bialate,  and  usually  4-toothed  ; the  last  character  approaches  it  to  Tanacetum,  in  which 
the  same  structure  is  frequently  found  ; in  many  particulars  it  agrees  with  the  Cotulece,  from  all  which  it 
differs  by  the  conical  receptacle.  It  thus  forms  a link  between  several  genera.  The  receptacle,  on  a more 
recent  examination,  is  not  paleaceous,  unless  the  inner  scales  of  the  involucre  can  be  so  called.

Between  the  above  three  supposed  species,  as  defined  by  De  Candolle,  we  can  perceive  no  difference. 
C.  Melitensis  is  said  to  have  capitula  solitary  and  tomentose,  and  the  cauline  leaves  toothed  ; in  C.  apula 
the  capitula  are  usually  aggregated  and  glabrous,  and  the  cauline  leaves  quite  entire  ; while  C.  Patibilcensis 
has  the  leaves  of  the  latter  and  involucres  of  the  former.  But  from  a comparison  of  specimens,  from  Europe, 
the  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  the  Canary  Isles,  Monte  Video,  Chili,  and  California,  these  characters  vary  on  the 
same  specimen  ; and  we  have  no  doubt  whatever  that  the  species  has  migrated  with  grain  from  the  south 
of  Europe.  De  Candolle  refers  Douglas’  plant  to  his  C.  Melitensis,  although  the  cauline  leaves  (in  our 
specimen)  are  quite  entire.

De  Candolle  refers  to  this  genus  the  Hymenomena  of  Hooker  Flor.  Bor.  Am.  The  two  species,  however, 
which  are  there  described,  differ  from  De  Candolle’s  character,  by  having  the  paleae  of  the  pappus  at  least 
twice  as  numerous,  the  dilated  part  at  the  base  not  scariose,  much  smaller  and  nearly  inconspicuous,  while 
the  bristle  into  which  it  passes  is  more  slender,  much  longer,  and  pure  white ; the  involucre,  moreover,  is 
decidedly  imbricated,  like  that  of  Scorzonera  or  Troximon,  and  the  achenia  short,  glabrous,  and  not  attenu- 
ated at  the  apex.

C.  Lindleyi  seems  merely  a cultivated  form  of  this  species.  In  the  native  specimens  the  leaves  are  either 
quite  entire  or  almost  pinnati-partite.  The  pappus  is  so  different  from  that  of  G.  Douglasii,  that  we  should 
scarcely  have  referred  the  two  plants  to  the  same  genus  ; or  if  they  be  considered  congeners,  the  character 
might  be  so  modified  as  to  admit  also  the  two  species  of  the  Flor.  Bor.  Am.

In  addition  to  the  description  we  have  already  given  in  this  work,  we  may  state  that  the  achenia  are  fusi- 
form, deeply  striated  with  ten  furrows,  the  ribs  obtuse  and  not  winged  ; the  filiform  stipes  of  the  pappus  is 
nearly  thrice  the  length  of  the  achenium,  and  dilated  at  the  apex  into  a small  disk.  The  achenia  and  pappus 
of  the  outer  and  inner  florets  are  precisely  alike.  Having  published  our  former  notice  before  we  were 
acquainted  with  Lessing’s  Synopsis  of  the  genera  of  this  order,  we  placed  this  in  Borkhausia  ; but  now  that 
that  genus  has  been  separated  into  others,  the  Californian  plant  must  unquestionably  be  removed  to  the  same 
as  the  Chilian  species.  We  may  here  state,  that  under  the  name  of  M.  Chilensis,  we,  in  the  Comp,  to  the 
Bot.  Mag.,  l.p.  31,  and  II.  p,  42,  intended  to  include  all  the  Chilian  species  of  DC.,  nor  are  we  yet  certain 
that  they  are  really  distinct ; but,  with  reference  to  Fischer  and  Meyer,  as  well  as  De  Candolle,  our  speci- 
mens from  Valparaiso  (Mathews,  No.  306,  and  Cuming,  No.  745),  as  also  from  Falkland  Island,  belong  to 
M.  pterocarpus,  and  that  from  Viiia  de  la  Mar,  near  Valparaiso,  marked  “ Bridges,  No.  500,”  is  M.  Icevigatus. 
As  to  Bridges’  No.  501,  the  achenia  are  too  young  to  show  whether  the  costae  ought  to  be  considered  als 
or  not.  In  several  achenia  in  Mathews,  No.  306,  we  have  observed  some  of  the  costae  quite  obtuse  and 
corky,  while  others  were  alate.

This  appears  to  be  allied  to  F.  Schiediams,  Sclilect.  in  Linn.  6.  p.  391,  a Mexican  plant,  but  the  petals 
of  that  species  have  not  yet  been  observed.  In  our  plant,  the  anthers  are  remarkably  large,  rather  longer 
than  the  petals,  and  the  filaments  are  so  very  short  as  to  be  enclosed  within  the  calyx.

Our  plant  agrees  well  with  Cavanilles’  figure,  but  the  flowers  have  a faint  tinge  of  purple,  and  are  by  no 
means  white.  The  structure  of  the  inflorescence  is  precisely  that  of  A.  incarnala ; and  Douglas  found  both 
growing  together  on  the  banks  of  the  Walla-wallah.  But  in  this  the  leaves  are  always  narrow  and  in  fours, 
while  in  A.  incarnata  they  are  opposite  and  much  broader.

Different  as  the  present  plant  appears,  at  first  sight,  from  the  Wigandia  Caracasana  figured  in  the  Bot. 
Register,  tab.  1966,  yet  the  inflorescence  and  the  structure  of  the  flowers  are  so  similar,  that  without  mature 
fruit  we  dare  not  venture  to  separate  it.  It  is  quite  shrubby,  the  glabrous  stem  exuding  a gum-resin.  Leaves 
3-4  inches  or  more  long,  alternate,  coriaceous,  elliptical-lanceolate,  tapering  gradually  into  a short  petiole, 
quite  entire,  above  glabrous,  rather  indistinctly  reticulated  with  depressed  veins ; below  strongly  reticulated 
with  prominent  veins,  which  are  rendered  more  conspicuous  by  the  areolae  being  filled  with  very  short 
whitish  down.  In  two  or  three  of  the  upper  leaves,  and  at  the  apex  of  the  branch,  the  small  flowers,  (scarcely 
more  than  half  an  inch  long)  are  collected  into  dense  capitate  circinnate  racemes.  Corolla  infundibuliform, 
thrice  as  long  as  the  deeply  divided  linear-oblong  calyx-segments.  Stamens  included.  Filaments  unequal, 
inserted  below  the  middle  of  the  tube,  and  then  decurrent  to  the  base  of  the  tube ; the  decurrent  portion 
alone  slightly  hairy.  Anthers  of  two  oval  cells,  not  mucronate.  Ovary  ovate,  slightly  hairy,  with  no  evi- 
dent hypogynous  disk,  1 -celled,  with  two  opposite  parietal  placentae  (^y),  resembling  two  T’s,  to  the  free  edges 
of  which  several  ovules  are  attached,  exactly  as  in  W.  Caracasana  (see  Dr  Lindley’s  excellent  figure  above 
quoted.)  Styles  2,  nearly  as  long  as  the  filaments.  Stigmas  capitate,  depressed  at  the  top.

so  that  our  plant  has  the  priority  of  name.  It  is  but  fair,  however,  to  observe,  that  Endlicher  considers  it 
only  a species  of  Cilia  {Atakta,  t.  29),  and  has  bestowed  the  name  of  Fenzlia  on  a genus  of  New  Hol-

In  the  wild  plant  the  flowers  are  densely  capitate,  nearly  sessile,  and  the  calyx  almost  woolly  ; but* when 
cultivated,  the  former  are  fascicled  and  on  long  pedicels,  while  the  latter  are  merely  pubescent.  It  therefore 
becomes  a matter  of  great  difliculty  to  distinguish  the  present  from  the  two  preceding  species ; and  if  the 
relative  length  of  the  calyx  and  corolla,  and  of  the  corolla  and  stamens,  prove  not  constant,  we  fear  that  all 
must  be  reduced  as  varieties  to  G.  laciniata  of  Ruiz  and  Pavon.

Our  specimens  are  more  leafy  and  not  so  much  advanced  as  those  from  Columbia ; but  they  appear  to 
be  the  same  species.  M.  versicolor,  of  the  Flor.  Bor.  Am.,  with  small  flowers,  seems  to  be  M.  verna  of

The  flowers  here  are  on  pretty  long  pedicels,  while  the  Columbia  plant  has  them  shortly  pedicellate  ; the 
latter  presents,  besides,  a different  aspect,  and  may  be  called  M.  Scouleri ; it  appears  very  closely  allied  to

Hab.  Snake  Fort,  Snake  Country.  Mr  Tolmie. 

The  flowers  are  very  minute,  and  white  with  a yellow  eye  ; the  calyx  is  5-angled  ; the  segments  are  about 
as  long  as  the  tube,  and  in  fruit  are  patulous  or  somewhat  recurved ; the  base  of  the  tube  is  membranaceous 
between  the  ribs  or  angles,  and  separates  transversely  with  five  teeth.  The  nuts  do  not  appear  to  be  at  all 
perforated  at  the  base,  and  are  inserted  into  the  bottom  of  the  calyx. 

1.  Amsinckia  vernicosa ; corolla  fauce  nuda  glabra,  limbo  tubo  triplo  breviore,  stamini- 
bus  ad  faucem  insertis,  antheris  exsertis,  nucibus  ovato-oblongis  acutis  acute  triquetris 
dorso  planis  laevibus  nitidissimis. 

This  approaches  closely  to  A.  angustifolia,  Lehm.  (Fisch.  et  Mey.  Ind.  Sem.  Hort.  Petrop.  Secundus, 
p.  26),  but  that  we  believe  to  be  a Chilian  species,  transmitted  by  Bertero,  and  therefore  probably  the  same 
with  Cuming’s  No.  512,  and  Bridges’  No.  311.  In  the  Chilian  plant,  the  flowers  are  almost  entirely  the 
same  as  in  A.  vernicosa,  but  the  nuts  are  ovate,  keeled  and  transversely  wrinkled  on  the  back,  and  all  over 
minutely  muricated,  the  points  on  the  keel  and  wrinkles  being  much  larger  than  the  others  ; of  this  Mathews’ 
No.  193  is  perhaps  a mere  variety,  but  the  leaves  are  much  broader,  and,  when  dry,  of  a blackish  colour. 
Lithospermum  lycopsoides,  Lehm.  in  Hook.  Flor.  Bor.  Am.  2.  p.  89,  is  the  same  with  Amsinckia  lycop- 
soides,  Lehm.  Del.  Sem.  H.  Hamb.  1831.

Fisch.  et  Mey.  Ind.  Sem.  Hort.  Petrop.  Secund.  p.  26. 

We  do  not  possess  the  fruit  of  this  species,  but  in  habit  it  accords  with  Amsinchia,  and  in  specific  charac- 
ter with  A.  spectahilis,  F.  and  M.  It  certainly  is  an  extremely  handsome  plant,  with  large  yellow  flowers ; 
the  corollas  much  exserted,  and  the  calyx  thickly  clothed  with  white  and  golden-coloured  hairs.  Leaves  2-3' 
inches  long. 

The  genus  Amsinchia  is  not,  so  far  as  we  know,  as  yet  further  characterized,  than  by  having  four  cotyle-

dons.  It  was  noticed  by  Lindley  in  his  first  edition  of  the  Introduction  to  the  Natural  System,  and  called 
there  Benthamia  ; as  however  no  reasons  w'ere  assigned  for  reducing  the  genus  of  Richard  of  that  name, 
Lehman  supposed  it  to  be  an  oversight,  and  altered  it  to  Amsinckia.  Since  then.  Dr  Lindley  has  bestowed 
the  name  Benthamia  on  an  East  Indian  plant.  This  confusion  is  to  be  regretted  ; and  now  that  Richard’s 
genus  has  been  ascertained  to  be  Peristylus  of  Blume,  it  were  better  that  Amsinckia  should  bear  the  appel- 
lation originally  given  to  it.

This  ought,  perhaps,  to  be  removed  from  the  genus : it  is  so  extremely  allied  to  C.  lateriflorun,  Lam.,  or 
C.  lineare,  Ruiz  et  Pav.  (Mathews,  No.  332,  Bridges,  No.  253,  and  Cuming,  No.  721),  that  it  can  only 
be  distinguished  by  a close  examination  of  the  nuts,  which,  in  the  Chilian  plant,  are  pectinately  toothed  all 
round  the  margin.  Lehman  places  this  last  in  Bindera,  an  arrangement  to  which  we  can.  scarcely  assent. 
Another  plant  of  the  same  group  is  C.  pilosum,  Ruiz  et  Pav.  (Mathews,  No.  989,  and  Cuming,  No.  1070).

The  Californian  specimens  have  quite  a different  appearance  from  those  gathered  at  Fort  Vancouver ; both 
are  canescent  on  the  under  side  of  the  leaves,  from  the  presence  of  adpressed  white  rather  soft  hairs  ; but  these 
are  much  more  numerous  in  the  Californian  form  than  in  the  other.  The  hairs  on  the  branches  and  petioles 
are  whitish  and  somewhat  soft  to  the  touch.  In  H.  macrophyllum  (Nutt.  Indig.  PI.  Un.  St.  p.  Ill),  which 
Mr  Bentham  seems  to  think  may  be  tbe  same,  tbe  hairs  on  the  stem,  branches,  and  petioles,  are  longer  and 
much  more  harsh  ; the  under  side  of  the  leaves  is  only  sprinkled  with  a few  bristly  hairs,  and  these  exist  chiefly 
on  the  nerves  and  veins ; the  flowers  are  either  capitate  (as  in  a specimen  from  Drummond  found  in  the 
Alleghanies)  or  they  form  a corymbose  compact  cyme  (as  in  the  specimens  from  Dr  Short),  with  the  pedicels 
thick  and  stout,  and  shorter  than  the  calyx ; divisions  of  the  calyx  attenuated  from  a broad  ovate  base. 
Nuttall’s  species  approaches,  in  some  respects,  to  H.  Virginicum,  but  that  has  a loose  dichotomous  inflores- 
cence, with  slender  pedicels  that  are  often  longer  than  the  calyx ; the  calyx-segments  narrow-linear ; and 
the  stem  is  much  more  free  from  hairs,  often  nearly  quite  glabrous.

and  strongly  marked  with  numerous  dull  lead-blue  specks,  and  therein  seems  to  lie  the  principal  difference 
between  the  two  species.  Dr  Bindley  states  that  in  N.  atomaria  the  peduncles  are  hair}"-,  and  in  N.  insignis 
glabrous  ; but  in  our  specimens  of  the  latter,  the  peduncles  vary  from  almost  glabrous  to  perfectly  hairy. 
We  fear  that  the  two  species  ought  to  be  united.  N.  phacelioides,  of  the  Bot.  Reg.  t.  740,  appears  to  us 
a large  cultivated  form  of  the  true  N.  phacelioides  of  Barton.

This  is  a verj’  remarkable  species,  having  bright  yellow  flowers.  The  seeds  are  deeply  wrinkled  on  the

and  absence  of  scales  to  the  corolla.

A singular  looking  plant,  which,  from  the  withered  state  of  the  flowers,  we  are  unable  satisfactorily  to  refer

tute of  braeteas,  the  shape  of  the  calyx,  of  the  capsule,  and  style,  are  quite  those  of  Maurandia,  but  the 
stems  are  not  scandent,  and  the  leaves  (except  those  near  the  root)  are  very  narrow,  lanceolate  or  linear.

The  plant  before  us  may  prove  a distinct  species  ; it  is  not  prostrate,  has  apparently  an  annual  root,  and 
a few  short  ascending  simple  stems  ; we  incline,  however,  to  think  that  the  specimens  being  in  a younger  state 
may  cause  these  differences.  Bentham  has  remarked,  in  the  Bot.  Reg.,  under  t.  1882,  that  this  and  some 
others  from  the  West  Coast  of  America,  will  probably  form  a new  genus.

With  this  we  are  wholly  unacquainted,  except  from  Mr  Lindley’s  figure  and  description  ; we  fear  that  it 
was  sent  from  Columbia,  and  that  it  is  a mere  variety  of  P.  glandulosus.  Dougl.

The  leaves,  as  in  almost  all  the  species,  are  broader  below  ; but  since  these  pass,  by  insensible  gradations, 
into  the  linear  ones  at  the  top  of  the  stem,  we  scarcely  think  the  specific  name  appropriate.

Mr  Douglas’  specimen  has  the  peduncle  slender  and  rather  longer  than  the  calyx,  in  which  respect  it

Mr  Bentham  says  that  (all  ?)  the  leaves  are  cordato-amplexicaul,  but  our  specimens  we  can  only  distinguish

A beautiful  dwarf  species,  the  length  of  the  flower  in  /3  (1^  to  2 inches),  in  almost  every  instance,  exceed- 
ing that  of  the  stem.  The  corolla  is  attenuated  below  into  a long  and  slender  almost  colourless  tube,  the 
upper  part  deep  purple.  Upper  lip  much  larger  and  longer  than  the  lower  one.  Style  almost  the  length  of 
the  corolla.  Stigma  bilamellate.  Stamens  didynamous,  each  part  cruciately  approximated  and  cohering. 
The  capsule  agrees  in  the  form  with  Diplacus,  Nutt.,  but  is  not  woody  as  in  that  subgenus  ; although  the 
dehiscence  and  placenta  resemble  it  more  than  a true  Mimulus.

In  this  the  lower  lip  is  3-dentate  at  the  apex  ; it  is  also  3-lobed,  each  lobe  being  saccate  or  forming  a little 
inflated  bag.  On  account  of  this  structure,  it  ought  perhaps  to  be  placed  in  the  genus  Tripkysa  of  Fischer

served in  O.  gracilis,  but  it  is  wider,  the  lateral  lobes  being  more  divaricated.

The  lower  lip  of  the  corolla  has  three  subulate  processes  or  teeth  at  the  apex  ; it  is  3-lobed,  the  lobes 
concave  and  slightly  saccate,  thus  intermediate  between  the  structure  of  Triphysa  and  the  true  Orthocarpi.

This  is  so  closely  allied  to  O.  strictus  that  we  at  first  proposed  to  unite  it  as  a variety.  The  leaves,  how- 
ever, are  always  entire  and  narrower,  the  spikes  shorter,  the  whole  plant  smaller  and  rather  puberulous  than 
hispid,  the  calyx-lobes  longer,  and  the  upper  lip  of  the  corolla  narrower  and  hooked  at  the  apex,  and  slightly 
longer  than  the  lower.  Like  it,  the  flow'ers  are  yellow,  the  tube  of  the  calyx  membranaceous,  and  the  lower 
lip  erect  and  close  pressed  to  the  upper,  as  in  Melampyrum.

Our  specimen,  for  we  have  seen  but  one  from  Mr  Douglas,  has  smaller  and  brighter  red  flowers  than  in 
that  we  have  obtained  from  Nuttall  himself,  but  in  almost  all  other  respects  they  seem  to  agree. 

2.  C.  hispida.  Benth.  in  Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am.  2.  p.  105? 

Hab.  Bruneau,  Snake  Country.  Mr  Tolmie. 

The  height  of  our  plant  is,  according  to  Mr  Tolmie,  one  to  three  feet.  The  leaves  are  divided  as  in  C. 
coccinea,  but  the  calycine  segments  are  ovate-oblong,  almost  like  those  of  C.  septentrionalis.  It  is  hispid, 
as  the  original  C.  hispida,  but  the  calycine  lobes  are  shorter,  not  oblong-linear,  as  in  C.  pallida.  The 
flowers  and  bracteas  appear  to  have  been  red. 

3.  C.  septentrionalis,  Kunth. — Benth.  in  Hook.  FI.  Bor.  Am.  2.  p.  105. 

This  Californian  plant  may  perhaps  be  very  different.  The  lobes  of  the  calyx  are  broader  and  shorter  than 
in  North  American  specimens  ; the  bracteas  and  calyx,  although  pale,  have  a tinge  of  red,  and  may  have 
been  deep  red  when  fresh  ; the  leaves  on  the  young  branches  are  linear  and  obtuse  ; those  on  the  stem,  at 
the  origin  of  the  branches,  trifid  to  about  the  middle,  their  segments  linear  and  obtuse  ; bracteas  (at  least 
the  lower  ones)  cuneate  and  trifid  ; flowers  subsessile.  The  habit  is  somewhat  that  of  C.  lithospermoides.

5.  C.  latifolia.  Hook,  et  Arn.  supra,  p.  154. — C.  macrocarpa.  Benth.  Scroph.  Ind.  p.  13. 

The  upper  lip  of  the  corolla  is  shortly  exserted  beyond  the  calyx. 

6.  C.  foliolosa.  Hook,  et  Arn.  supra,  p.  154. 

Our  original  form  of  this  plant  has  the  leaves  approximated,  the  axils  bearing  tufts  of  similar  leaves,  so 
that  the  whole  merited  well  the  name  we  gave.  But  in  Douglas’  collection  are  specimens  of  two  other 
varieties  or  forms,  which  assume  a considerably  different  appearance.  The  first  of  these  has  the  leaves  twice 
the  length  of  Beechey’s  specimens,  and  their  secondary  leaves  in  the  axils  are  very  small  and  few.  The 
second  has  the  primary  leaves  still  larger,  less  tomentose,  and  sometimes  trifid  to  beyond  the  middle ; the 
secondary  leaves  are  copious,  as  in  Beechey’s  plant ; the  spike  is  partly  in  fruit,  and  much  more  elongated 
and  lax  than  in  the  other  specimens.  In  Beechey’s  and  the  last  mentioned  form,  the  stems  seem  decidedly 
woody,  in  the  other  one  somewhat  herbaceous  ; so  that  we  have  no  doubt  but  the  above  different  appear- 
ances arise  from  the  plants  having  been  in  different  stages  of  growth,  and  from  the  specimens  having  been 
taken,  in  the  one  case,  from  the  old  branches,  in  the  other  from  the  young  shoots.

Hab.  Interior  of  California,  Nov.  1826 ; Mr  Douglas.  Snake  country  ; Mr  Tolmie. 

Our  first  knowledge  of  this  very  singular  and  interesting  plant,  was  derived  from  extremely  young  and  im- 
perfect specimens  collected  by  Mr  Douglas  during  his  first  journey  in  North  West  America,  and  noticed  in 
the  Flora  Boreali- Americana  as  a doubtful  species  of  Chenopodium.  Our  specimens  with  female  flowers  and 
fruit,  from  the  Snake  country,  have  an  aspect  so  extremely  different  from  those,  just  alluded  to,  partly  from  the 
more  fully  developed  foliage,  and  partly  from  the  very  different  structure  of  the  perianth,  that  it  was  not  till  after 
a most  careful  comparison  of  the  two  plants,  that  we  could  satisfy  ourselves  of  their  belonging  to  one  and  the 
same  species.  The  habit  and  foliage  resemble  considerably  some  Cape  Polygalce,  a resemblance  still  further 
strengthened  by  the  shape  and  colour,  frequently  tinged  with  red,  of  the  fructiferous  perianth.  The  leaves 
when  young  are  thick  and  fleshy,  obovato-cuneate,  and  covered  with  minute  mealy  scales  as  in  several  species 
of  Atriplex  ; and  it  is  from  this  circumstance  very  probable  that  the  plant  grows  in  salt  marshes.  When  the 
leaves  are  older  they  elongate,  and  the  mealiness  disappears. 

We  have  dedicated  this  genus  to  Dr  Asa  Gray,  Professor  of  Botany  in  the  newly  established  university 
of  the  State  of  Michigan,  U.S.,  the  distinguished  author  of  the  revision  of  North  American  Rhynchosporece 
and  MelanthacecB,  and  coadjutor  with  Dr  Torrey  in  the  Flora  of  North  America.  It  is  true  that  already  two 
other  genera  have  been  named  after  our  excellent  friend,  the  one  Grayia  of  Arnott,  in  Wight’s  Catalogue  of 
plants  of  the  Peninsula  of  India,  No.  2033  ; but  as  Dr  Arnott  has  reason  to  think  that  Dr  Gray  would  prefer 
his  name  to  be  connected  with  the  American  plant,  the  Eastern  one  will  be  described  under  another  designa- 
tion I the  other  is  the  Asagraa  officinalis  of  Dr  Bindley,  in  the  Bot.  Reg.  (1839)  t.  33  : but  no  sooner 
had  Dr  Gray  seen  this  figure  than  he  felt  almost  certain  that  the  plant  belonged  to  his  genus  Schoenocaulon,  an 
opinion,  he  informs  us,  he  has  since  verified  by  an  examination  of  Schelde’s  specimen,  the  authority  for  the 
species.f

t “ Of  Schcenocaulon  I now'  know  four  species.  The  genus  is  extremely  well  marked  and  distinct,  though 
the  character  requires  some  emendation,  since  it  was  draw'n  from  a single  species,  and  that  without  the  fruit. 
There  is  first  the  original  species,  S.  gracile  .—then  this  of  Lindley—thirdly,  a plant  in  Drummond’s  Texan 
collection ; in  the  herbarium  of  Vienna  I had  named  this  S.  aletroides,  but  as  that  name  is  not  very  appropriate, 
it  may  be  rather  called  S.  Dmmmondii ; I have  not  seen  the  base  of  the  stem,  but  it  probably  is  bulbous  like 
the  others. — The  fourth  species  {S.  caricifolium)  is  Veratrum  caricifolium  Schlecht.  in  Ind.  Sem.  Halens. 
of  which  he  has  given  me  a specimen  in  fine  fruit  5 he  possesses  young  plants  raised  from  the  seed  also  : the 
foliage,  &c.,  is  exactly  the  same  as  in  the  original  species,  but  the  spike  is  shorter  and  thicker.”  Gray  in  litt. 

We  have  received  from  G.  U.  Skinner,  Esq.,  of  Guatemala  specimens  precisely  according  with  Scheide 
and  Lindley’s  plant,  from  Guatemala,  as  the  Sabadilla  of  commerce  of  that  country : but  this  must  not  be 
confounded  with  the  Veratrum  Sabadilla  of  Descourtilz  Flor.  des  Antilles,  III.  t.  195,  and  of  Turpin  in  the 
plates  to  the  Diet,  des  Sc.  Nat.,  which  it  is  to  be  feared  has  nothing  to  do  with  the  true  Sabadilla.

That  this  is  the  genus  and  species  described  by  Eschschotlz  vre  entertain  no  doubt,  especially  as  we  have 
received  specimens  so  named  from  Chamisso.  In  the  3th  volume  of  the  Linnaea,  p.  86,  Chamisso  and 
Schlechtendahl  reduce  it  to  Croton,  and  consider  it  no  way  different  from  C.  gracilis  of  Kunth,  from  Mexico. 
Again,  Mr  Bentham,  in  his  account  of  Hartweg’s  Mexican  plants.  No.  83,  makes  of  Croton  gracilis  his 
Astrogyne  crotonoides,  and  expresses  his  doubts  if  Mr  Douglas’  Californian  specimens  belong  to  the  same, 
or  form  an  allied  species.  An  attentive  comparison  of  Hartweg’s  specimens,  and  of  Douglas’  with 
Chamisso’s,  leave  however  no  doubt  on  our  minds  that  they  all  belong  to  the  same  genus,  but  that  the  Mexi- 
can species  is  different  from  the  Californian.  The  name  Hendecandra  is  certainly  not  appropriate,  but  we 
are  unwilling  to  change  it  for  one  so  much  more  recent,  and  founded  on  another  species.  Eschscholtz  does 
not  seem  correct  as  to  the  number  or  situation  of  the  stamens,  and  Mr  Bentham  has  omitted  to  notice  the 
hypogynous  disc  : the  styles  are  often  more  divided  than  is  stated  by  either.  Croton  gracilis  of  Kunth  or 
Astrogyne  crotonoides,  Benth.  may  be  thus  distinguished : — H.  crotonoides ; foliis  breviter  petiolatis,  racemis

This  has  likewise  been  found  at  Zacatecas  in  Mexico,  by  Hartweg,  and  is  No.  4 of  his  collection.  We 
regret  that  our  specimens  will  not,  W'ithout  the  destruction  of  them,_  enable  us  to  exhibit  a representation  of 
the  base  of  the  germen  or  young  fruit,  which  is  incorporated  with  the  spadix.  In  their  structure  the  fructi- 
fication and  inflorescence  have  a very  close  affinity  with  Houttuynia,  (see  Hook,  in  Bot.  Mag.  p.  2731)  : — 
the  chief  diff'erence  being  that  our  plant  has  6 (not  3)  stamens.

While  this  part  of  the  work  w'as  in  the  press,  we  were  gratified  by  the  arrival  of  an  interesting  collection  of 
plants  made  on  the  Pacific  coasts  of  America,  by  Dr  Sinclair,  surgeon  of  H.M.  surveying  ship,  the  Sulphur, 
dispatched  to  those  seas  under  the  command  of  Captain  F.  W.  Beechey,  and  upon  that  officer’s  return,  on 
account  of  ill  health,  of  Captain  Belcher.  Some  of  the  Californian  plants,  as  in  the  present  instance,  will  be 
here  introduced,  and  a portion  from  a more  interesting  field  will  form  another  Supplement,  and  conclude 
this  work.  We  gladly  acknowledge  Dr  Sinclair’s  invaluable  exertions  in  the  cause  of  Botany  by  dedicating 
a new  species  of  Pine  (see  p.  392)  to  him.

The  leaves  and  whole  appearance  of  this  plant  closely  resemble  Q.  sessiliflora,  but  the  scales  of  the  cu- 
pule  are  different.  In  this  respect  also,  as  well  as  in  the  shape  and  colour  of  the  leaves  when  dry,  it  differs  from 
Q.  Garryana,  We  have  branches  with  nascent  foliage  which  we  suspect  to  be  the  young  state  of  this 
plant ; in  these  the  leaves  are  covered  with  down  on  both  sides,  the  lobes  are  tipped  with  a short  soft  mucro.

This  remarkable  plant  has  very  much  the  appearance  of  a Castanea,  the  fruit  in  the  only  specimen  we 
possess  being  situated  at  the  base  of  a male  somewhat  fascicled  catkin  of  the  former  year,  while  the  numerous 
male  catkins  of  the  present  year  present  no  appearance  whatever  of  female  flowers.  The  leaves  are  from 
two  and  a half  to  three  inches  long,  and  nearly  three-quarters  of  an  inch  in  breadth.

Of  this  we  have  seen  no  flowers  nor  fruit,  and  the  leaves  are  nearly  twice  the  length  of  those  figured  in  Mr 
Lambert’s  work,  shining  on  the  upper  side  as  in  Podocarpus,  and  glaucous  underneath.  The  tips  of  the 
branches  exhibit  buds  formed  of  imbricated  membranaceous  concave  shining  scales,  which  resemble  the  scales 
at  the  base  of  the  galbule  in  Lambert’s  description  and  figure  quoted.  Our  plant  is  obviously  what  Douglas 
alludes  to  in  his  Journal  (Comp.  Bot.  Mag.  vol.  II.  p.  150.)  in  the  following  words  : — “ But  the  great  beauty 
of  the  Californian  vegetation  is  a species  of  Taxodium,  which  gives  the  mountains  a most  peculiar,  I was 
almost  going  to  say  awful,  appearance, — something  which  plainly  tells  that  we  are  not  in  Europe.  I have 
never  seen  the  Taxodium  Nootkatense  of  Nee,  except  some  specimens  in  the  Lambertian  herbarium,  and 
have  no  work  to  refer  to  ; but  from  recollection,  I should  say  that  the  present  species  is  distinct  from  it.  I 
have  repeatedly  measured  specimens  of  this  tree  270  feet  long,  and  32  feet  round  at  three  feet  above  the 
ground.  Some  few  I saw  upwards  of  300  feet  high,  but  none  in  which  the  thickness  was  greater  than  those 
I have  instanced.”

This  covers  the  hills  from  Monterrey  to  Carmelo  and  to  Punta  Pinos.  {Dr  Sinclair  of  H.  M.  S.  Sulphur.) 
It  is  probably  the  same  as  was  observed  by  Mr  Collie,  and  supposed  by  him  to  be  Pinus  rigida,  Mill,  {vide 
supra,  p.  160.)  The  ternate  or  occasionally  binate  leaves  are  from  three  to  four  inches  long,  rigid  and  sharp. 
The  solitary  cone  we  possess  is  in  an  old  state,  the  seeds  having  fallen  out,  and  the  scales  spreading ; it  is 
twelve  inches  long,  and  five  at  its  greatest  breadth  near  the  base.  The  scales  are  from  two  to  three  inches 
long,  three-quarters  of  an  inch  broad,  cuneate,  hard  and  coriaceous,  the  apex  much  thickened,  and  forming  a 
short  four-sided  pyramid  with  a short  reflexed  sharp  rigid  point.  As  a species  it  approaches,  in  the  form  of 
cone  and  scales,  to  P.  Montezum<E,  Lam.  Pin,  t.  22  : — but  the  leaves  are  quite  different.  It  may  possibly 
be  the  Pinus  Californiana  “ Lois,  in  the  N.  Duhamel,  5,  p.  243,”  and  Loud.  Arboret.  Brit.  p.  2268’: — 
but  all  the  description  we  can  find  of  that  tree,  is  simply  that  its  leaves  are  in  twos  or  threes,  and  that  the 
cones  are  longer  than  the  leaves.  To  this  Loudon  adduces  as  a synonym  the  P.  Monterey ensis,  Godefroy 
and  Hort.  Society’s  Gard.  of  which,  however,  almost  nothing  is  known.

we  possess  the  same  collected  at  Tepie  by  Dr  Sinclair  of  Her  Majesty’s  Ship  Sulphur.  On  comparing 
this  with  the  P.  patula  of  Scheide  and  Deppe,  as  figured  in  Lambert’s  Pinus,  t.  19,  (it  is  probably  also  the  P. 
patula  of  Chamisso  and  Schlechtendahl  in  the  6th  volume  of  the  Linnsea,  p.  354)  many  points  of  resemblance 
appear  so  much  so,  that  we  doubt  of  their  being  specifically  distinct. 


As  the  Pines  form  one  of  the  most  interesting  features  in  the  Botany  of  California,  and  as  our  Herbarium 
is  but  poor  in  specimens  of  this  family,  we  shall  give  a list  of  all  the  species  hitherto  known,  chiefly  com-

ception being  the  alleged  pubescence  of  the  base  of  the  petals  (not  sepals)  in  1.  liexagona;  Walt.  FI.  Car. 
a plant  erroneously  confounded  by  Michaux  with  I.  Virginica.  L. — (germine  sub-trigono  apiculato,  caule 
1-2  furcato,  furca  superiore  semper  submquali.  mst.) — whereas  liexagona,  of  which  there  are  several  varieties 
from  Texas,  New  Orleans,  and  other  parts  of  the  southern  states  (germine  hexagono,  caule  indiviso,  floribus 
inferioribus  axillaribus.  mst.')  has  not  the  forked  stalk  which  distinguishes  all  the  numerous  varieties  of  the 
former.  I.  lacustris  is  reported  to  have  bearded  sepals,  but  I suspect  it  will  be  found  to  have  rather  crests, 
like  1.  cristata,  of  which  it  has  precisely  the  aspect,  a fact  which  I shall  not  have  an  opportunity  of  verifying 
before  the  spring.  I also  doubt  the  truth  of  any  American  Iris  having  a fistulous  stalk,  that  remarkable 
feature  being  confined  to  the  numerous  varieties  of  I.  Sibirica.  I believe  that  Pursh’s  statement,  that  the 
Missourian  Iris  of  Lewis  has  fistulous  stalks,  simply  implies  that,  w’hereas  that  plant  has  been  erroneously 
named  Sibirica,  Sibirica  is  fistulous,  but  I place  no  confidence  in  the  fact  as  to  Lewis’s  specimen.  It  is  possi- 
ble that  I.  Tolmieana,  (mihi)*  which  in  a dry  state  has  much  the  aspect  of  I.  Sibirica  v.  sanguinea,  may  be 
Lewis’s  plant. t I-  Sibirica  v.  sanguinea,  has  been  separated  by  Continental  botanists  under  the  name 
haematopliylla,  with  an  allegation  that  its  scape  is  solid,  a statement  which  is  quite  incorrect.  It  is  cer- 
tainly a variety  of  Sibirica,  having  not  only  the  fistulous  stalk,  but  every  other  important  feature  of  that 
plant,  especially  the  two  gibbous  teeth  near  the  base  of  each  sepal,  which,  though  not  recorded,  are,  I believe, 
peculiar  to  that  species,  and  rarely,  if  ever,  obsolete.  I.  Beecheyana  has  been  confounded  by  the  collector 
with  J.  liumilis,  a plant  of  the  Ukraine,  found  especially  near  Elizabethgrod  ; as  I.  Ruthenica  has,  on  the 
other  hand,  been  confounded  with  it  in  Russia,  from  whence  Ruthenica  has  been  sent  with  the  wrong  name 
to  the  British  nurserymen.  J.  Tolmieana  may  be  at  once  distinguished  from  humilis  by  its  strong  thick 
rootstalk.  The  plant  most  nearly  allied  to  humilis  is  I.  Cretica,  mihi,  found  in  Crete,  and  also  near  Napoli 
di  Romania,  foliis  subseptemuncialibus  vix  lineam  latis  acutis  basi  ampliatis  marginibus  coriaceo-crispis, 
uncias  solido  \ unc.  ampliato  libero,  limbo  biunciali.  I apprehend  it  has  never  been  observed  that  the  true 
character  of  the  genus  Iris  is  a short  ventricose  or  somewhat  funnel-shaped  tube  free  from  the  style,  and  a solid 
subcylindrical  base  w hich  in  some  species  is  little  more  than  a point  of  union,  and  in  others  is  prolonged  many 
inches.  This  solid  part  of  the  tube  is  in  some  species  of  the  same  texture  as  the  thick  parts  of  the  limb,  in 
others  of  the  coriaceous  texture  of  the  germen  from  which  it  has  in  that  case  no  decided  point  of  separation 
outwardly  discernible.  These  important  circumstances  in  the  structure  appear  to  have  been  neglected  by 
botanists.  The  true  stigma  of  Iris  is  transverse  below  the  crests  of  the  style,  and  its  form  is  very  different 
in  different  species  : another  most  important  feature  which  has  been  neglected,  but  it  cannot  be  ascertained 
in  dry  specimens.  In  the  numerous  native  specimens  I had  seen  of  1.  tenax,  whether  from  Newfoundland 
or  the  N.  W.  of  America,  the  spathe  is  one-valved,  the  second  valve  being  placed  like  a bracte  an  inch  below, 
on  the  stalk.  A similar  disturbance  of  the  spathe  takes  place  in  I.  Douglasiana  v.  bracteata.”  W.

in  Bot.  Reg.  sub  t.  1663. 

This  “ has  very  much  the  aspect  of  F.  verticillata,  but  the  leaves  are  not  cirrhose,  and  the  flowers  are 
greenish-purple,  spotted  like  F.  Meleagris,  growing  in  long  racemes.”  Lindl. — In  our  specimens  the  pedicels 
can  scarcely  be  called  “ ver}"  short,”  being  often  three  quarters  of  an  inch  long,  and  the  leaves  are  lanceolate 
linear  and  acuminated,  but  not  with  a broad  base.  The  style  is,  in  this  and  in  both  the  following,  trifid,  as  in 
the  genuine  species  of  Fritillaria. 

2.  F.  liliacea  [Lindl.);  caule  stricto  apice  racemoso  basi  folioso  foliis  oblongo-lanceo- 
latis  inferioribus  verticillatis  superioribus  alternis,  floribus  secundis  concoloribus  cernuis 
basi  angustatis,  pedunculis  erectis  bracteis  longioribus,  capsula  oblonga  apice  rotundata 
basi  mutica.  Lindl.  1.  c. 

“ Closely  allied  to  F.  alba  of  Nutt.,  from  w'hich  it  differs  in  its  broader  leaves,  and  differently  shaped  cap- 
sule. It  is  a most  remarkable  plant,  with  the  habit  of  a lily  : its  flowers  are  apparently  pale  yellow,  narrow  at 
the  base,  and  not  unlike  those  of  Lilium  pudicum.”  Lindl. — Of  this  we  possess  two  forms  : one  with  the 
flowers  scarcely  narrowed  at  the  base,  and  about  as  obtuse  there  as  in  F.  mutica,  while  the  pedicels  are  con- 
siderably longer  than  the  bracteas:  the  other,  as  Lindley  says,  has  flowers  very  similar  to  Lilium  pudicum, 
being  remarkably  narrowed  at  the  base,  but  the  pedicels  are  in  every  instance  much  shorter  than  the  bracteas, 
while  the  accompanying  specimens  in  fruit  resemble  the  first  variety.  All  have  the  pedicels  erect,  except  im- 
mediately under  the  flower,  where  they  are  recurved. 

3.  F.  biflora  [Lindl.) ; caule  basi  nudo  apice  bifloro,  foliis  verticillatis  alternisve  oblongo- 
lanceolatis  versus  apicem  caulis  deficientibus,  floribus  pendulis  subcylindraceis  concolori- 
bus, pedunculis  bracteis  brevioribus.  Lindl.  1.  c. 

This  “ resembles  F.  tulipifolia  in  habit,  but  differs  in  its  two-flowered  stem,  and  numerous  leaves  which 
are  either  alternate  or  verticillate.”  Lindl. — Our  specimens,  in  habit  as  well  as  in  the  colour  of  the  flowers, 
approach  so  closely  to  F.  Kamtschatcensis,  that  they  are  scarcely  to  be  distinguished  but  by  the  leaves  of 
the  perianth  being  quite  destitute  of  the  curious  crested  veins,  almost  peculiar  to  that  species,  and  which  are 
represented  at  Tab.  193.  A.  of  the  Flor.  Bor.  Am."

Dr  Lindley  distinguishes  the  var.  p>.,  his  if.  giganteum,  from  the  type  of  the  species,  by  the  irregularly  branch- 
ed scape,  the  leaves  of  the  perianth  reflexed  only  from  the  middle,  and  the  stigma  3-lobed,  not  3-partite : but 
there  is  no  difference  whatever  in  the  two  last  points,  and  as  to  the  first,  these  are  insensible  gradations  from 
a single  to  a several  flowered  scape.

Sepals  straight.  Petals  cuneate-subrotund,  crispid  at  the  margin,  white,  yellowish  at  the  base,  and  then 
furnished  with  a cuneate  blood-red  canal  whieh  is  yellow  at  the  apex  ; above  this,  and  on  the  expanded  por- 
tion of  the  petal  is  a large  round  blood-red  stain.  It  is  a very  beautiful  species. 

2.  C.  splendens  {Benth.);  caule  3-5-floro,  sepalis  revolutis,  petalis  intus  sparse  pilosis  in

p.  411.  t.  15.  f.  1 ; Lindl.  Bot.  Beg.  t.  1676. 

Petals  of  an  uniform  lilac  colour.  It  is  closely  allied  to  C.  venustus,  from  which,  however,  it  differs  not 
only  in  the  colour  of  its  petals,  but  in  its  flowers  being  somewhat  smaller,  and  its  sepals  rolled  back  from  the 
point ; the  arrangement  of  the  hairs  upon  its  petals  is  also  very  different.  In  C.  venustus  there  is,  just  above 
the  base  of  the  petals,  an  oblong  tuft  of  rather  loose  hairs,  which  gradually  scatter  themselves  over  the  petal 
for  a short  distance  round  the  tuft ; but  in  C.  splendens  the  tuft  is  smaller,  and  composed  of  very  short  firm 
hairs,  colleeted  into  a compact  oblong  mass,  almost  resembling  a wart,  and  separated  by  a smooth  interval 
from  the  scattered  hairs  of  the  petal,  which  are  long  and  numerous. 

3.  C.  luteus  {Dough)  caule  subtrifloro,  foliis  convolutis  acuminatis  pedunculis  gracili- 
bus  brevioribus,  sepalis  apice  recurvis,  petalis  cuneatis  apice  rotundatis  medio  transverse 
barbatis.  Lindl.  in  Bot.  Beg.  t.  1567. 

The  flowers  are  rather  smaller  than  in  the  two  preceding  species,  and  of  a deep  yellow,  greenish  about  the 
middle  and  at  the  base,  and  covered  near  the  middle  with  red  dots. 

4.  C.  uniflorus;  caule  humili  versus  basin  1-3-phyllo  subunifloro,  pedunculo  elongate 
gracili  folia  superante,  sepalis  apice  patulis,  petalis  cuneatis  apice  rotundatis  denticulatis 
basi  dense  barbatis  e basi  ad  medium  sparse  pilosis  superne  glabris.  (Tab.  XCIV.) 

This  is  most  allied  to  C.  elegans,  but  has  very  differently  shaped  sepals  and  petals,  and  the  stem  has 
scarcely  any  tendency  to  produce  more  than  a single  flower.  We  omit  here  C.  elegans,  macrocarpus,  and 
nitidus,  said  to  be  from  California,  for,  according  to  the  stations  given  by  Douglas,  none  of  them  were  found 
in  that  country  : descriptions  of  them  are  given  in  the  Flor.  Bor.  Am.  II.  p.  1 83.  With  regard  to  the  variety  of 
C.  elegans  noticed  in  the  Flor.  Bor.  Am.  I.  p.  183,  as  found  by  Mr  Tolmie  on  the  banks  of  the  Walamet 
river,  we  are  now  satisfied  it  is  perfectly  distinct  from  either  a.  or  of  Douglas,  and  that  it  forms  a new  species, 
vvhich  may  be  called  C.  Tolmiei ; it  is  closely  allied  to  C.  nitidus,  (Dough  in  Hort.  Soc.  Trans.  VII.  t.  9,) 
but  the  flowers  are  rather  smaller,  not  in  an  umbel,  but  in  a racemose  panicle,  and  the  cuneate-obovate 
petals  are  densely  bearded  to  the  very  apex,  much  more  so  than  in  any  other  known  species  of  the  genus.

This  was  collected  by  Douglas  in  California,  probably  at  no  great  distance  from  the  coast.  It  is  closely

cate leaves,  more  compact  umbel,  much  larger  flowers,  narrower  and  thinner  sepals,  which  are,  moreover,

stalk  to  its  ovarium,  two  or  three  times  longer  than  the  ovarium  itself,  and  half  the  length  of  the  perianth  ; 
in  T.  grandijiora  the  perianth  is  wide  at  the  base,  almost  indeed  campanulate,  and  the  stalk  of  the  ovarium 
is  not  half  so  long  as  the  ovarium,  and  many  times  shorter  than  the  perianth.  Although  there  be  little 
ditference  in  the  width  of  the  flowers,  the  length  of  the  perianth  of  T.  laxa  is  twice  that  of  T.  grandijiora.

Perhaps  this  ought  to  be  referred  to  the  Genus  Ceratochloe,  but  the  straight  seta,  or  awn,  is  almost  as 
long  as  the  floret,  and,  with  the  exception  of  the  compressed  spikelet,  the  character  is  entirely  that  of  Bromus.

This  has  certainly  not  exactly  the  habit  of  a Poa,  to  which  w’e  had  been  disposed  to  refer  it ; and  the 
flowers  are  fewer  in  number  than  usually  occur  in  that  Genus.  In  appearance  it  approaches  slightly  to 
Eragrostis  Koenigii,  and  E.  interrupta,  but  it  unquestionably  is  not  a species  of  Eragrostis.  The  glumes 
are  membranaceous,  but  the  florets  are  of  a firm  texture,  greenish  and  tinged  with  purple,  their  margins  white 
and  membranaceous.  We  have  only  seen  the  upper  portion  of  the  plant,  although  the  specimens  are  about 
two  feet  in  length;  the  panicle  is  from  9 inches  to  a foot  long.  We  adopt  the  Genus  to  which  we  find  that 
Trinius,  and  since,  Nees  von  Esenbeck,  have  referred  it.

Our  plant  resembles  that  of  Gaudin  in  the  spikelet,  but  it  is  more  rigid,  and  the  inflorescence  is  an  inter-

We  can  see  no  difference  between  the  Uniola  spicata  of  Linn,  and  Torrey’s  Flora,  and  the  U.  stricta  of

Nothing  has  surprised  us  more  than  finding  that  a species  of  a Genus,  hitherto  considered  as  exclusively 
inhabiting  the  Polynesian  islands,  should  be  detected  in  the  northern  continent  of  the  New  World.  The 
collection  contains  several  specimens;  and  though  it  is  barely  possible  that  these  may  have  been  accidentally 
mixed  up  with  the  herbarium  ; yet  seeing  that  every  other  plant  is  unquestionably  Californian,  or  from  the 
immediately  adjacent  territories,  and  that  Mr  Douglas  had  no  intercourse  with  New  Holland,  where  alone  the 
species  has  hitherto  been  found,  we  are  bound  to  believe  it  a Californian  plant,  and  to  introduce  it  as  such. 
The  specimens  are  very  perfect,  and  some  of  them  in  fructification.

ginaria,  Presl. 

San  Francisco.  Dr  Sinclair. — Presl  refers  this  to  his  genus  Marginaria,  whose  essential  character  is  to  have 
the  upper  veinlets  uniting  with  the  nearest  opposite  ones,  so  as  to  form  hexagonal  areolae,  in  which  is  situated 
the  sorus  at  the  extremity  of  a lower  veinlet.  But  in  this  plant  the  veinlets  are  sometimes  entirely  free,  and 
when  the  union  does  take  place,  it  is  only  near  the  margin.

San  Francisco.  Dr  Sinclair. — Allied  to  the  preceding  P.  Californicum,  and  to  P.  vulgar c;  from  the 
former  it  differs  in  the  almost  entirely  free  veinlets,  from  the  latter  in  its  oblong  or  oval  sori,  and  from  both 
in  the  pellucid,  not  opaque  frond,  and  in  the  laciniag  becoming  smaller  at  the  base.  Although  this  must  be 
referred  to  the  true  Polypodium  of  Presl,  yet  the  veinlets  do  occasionally  unite  so  as  to  form  an  elongated 
and  somewhat  hexagonal  areola  in  which  a veinlet,  terminated  by  a sorus,  is  included.

Foot  unknown.  Stem  minute,  cylindrical,  gradually  expanding  into  a broadly  cuneate,  diehotomously  cleft, 
ilat,  membranaceous  frond  about  six  inches  long  ; the  segments  cuneate,  about  half  an  inch  broad,'’obtuse  at 
the  apices  ; the  axils  rounded.  Margin  entire,  bearing  here  and  there  linear-oblong  or  slightly  lanceolate 
leaflets  (which  perhaps  in  older  specimens  become  diehotomously  cleft?)  Fruit,  so  far  as  known,  consists 
in  linear,  dark-red,  elevated  receptacles,  not  half  a line  in  breadth,  and  from  half  an  inch  to  upwards  of  an 
inch  in  length,  extending  longitudinally  through  the  centre  of  the  terminal  segments,  or  of  the  marginal  leaf- 
lets, and  resembling  a very  strong  prominent  rib.  These  receptacles  are  completely  filled  with  a dense  mass 
of  minute  granules,  their  coat  or  periphery  is  opaque  and  resembles  that  of  the  frond.  Colour  a full  red  ; sub- 
stance membranaceous  ; reticulation  minute. 

Hab.  San  Francisco,  Dr  Sinclair. — A single  specimen  only  of  this  very  remarkable  plant  exists  in  the 
herbarium,  and  on  it  I have  ventured  to  establish  a new  genus.  In  habit  it  so  closely  resembles  Phyllo- 
phora  rubens,  that  it  might  easily  be  passed  over  as  that  plant.  But  the  fructification  is  not  only  totally 
different  from  that  of  Phyllophora,  but  resembles  nothing  with  which  I am  acquainted  among  the  Algas, 
while  it  bears  a striking  resemblance  to  the  lirellce  of  the  genus  Opegrapha,  among  Lichenes.  From  the 
minute  size  of  the  sporules  contained  in  the  mass  with  which  the  receptacles  are  full,  I am  induced  to  con- 
sider these  curious  bodies  as  secondary  fructification,  the  primary  being  probably  spheerical  capsules.  The 
affinities  of  the  genus  are  with  Phyllophora.

Root  accompanied  by  creeping  fibres.  Stem  erect,  2-3  inches  high,  a line  broad,  compressed,  channelled 
on  one  side,  linear,  simple  or  once  or  twice  forked,  and  bare  of  ramuli  for  three-fourths  of  its  length  ; thence 
upwards  it  is  pinnated,  or  in  old  specimens  bipinnated,  the  pinnae  and  pinnulae  alternate,  horizontal,  subulate, 
very  acute  ; the  pinnulae  in  some  specimens  simple,  in  others  cleft  at  the  apex  into  3-5  or  more  divaricating 
spine-like  ramuli.  Capsules  minute,  depressed  in  the  centre,  of  the  same  substance  and  colour  as  the  frond, 
seated  on  the  multifid  pinnules.  Substance  cartilaginous.  Colour  a dull  purple,  paler  in  the  ramuli,  becoming 
much  darker  in  drying. — In  a young  state  this  species  bears  a striking  resemblance  to  Turner’s  figure  of 
Fucus  corniculatus,  t.  182,  and  at  p.  164  of  the  present  work  I have  noticed  it  as  such.  But  more  perfect 
specimens,  since  received,  prove  that  it  is  perfectly  distinct  from  that  and  every  other  described  species.  The 
channelled  stem,  naked  for  its  greater  length,  and  the  dense  head  of  multifid  spine-like  ramuli  sufficiently  mark 
the  species.

The  plants  noticed  in  the  following  Supplement  were  gathered  by  Dr  Sinclair,  Surgeon  of  H.  M.  surveying 
Ship,  Sulphur,  and  transmitted  to  us  at  the  request  of  Captain  Beechey.  They  were  collected  at  San  Bias, 
or  between  San  Bias  and  Tepic,  in  about  lat.  N.  22°,  in  December,  1837  ; at  Acapulco,  N.  lat.  17®,  in 

January,  1838  ; or  at  Realejo,  N.  lat.  12°  45",  in  February,  1838.  This  latter  place  indeed  belongs  to 

Guatemala;  but  the  Flora  of  that  country,  judging  from  what  little  we  know  of  it,  is  so  similar  to  that  of 

Mexico,  that  we  have  no  hesitation  in  including  all  under  the  general  head  of  Mexican  Plants.

C.  bupleurifolia,  that  we  have  little  hesitation  in  considering  them  the  same.  What  we  take  for  the  type  of 
the  species,  as  characterized  by  the  learned  author,  has  been  lately  figured  in  the  leones  Plantarum  above 
quoted,  from  a specimen  from  Xalapa.  In  a subsequent  volume  of  the  Linnoea,  Schlechtendal  observes  (v. 
12.  p.  279.)  “haec  nova  species  valde  nobis  est  suspecta,  serius  enim  accepta  exemplaria,  praesertim  prope 
Chiconquiaco  lecta,  foliis  angustatis  stipulisque  minus  prosilientibus,  tantopere  ab  ilia  sagittalis  accedunt  ut 
difficile  et  artificialiter  quasi,  magnitudine,  colore  intensiore  paginae  superioris,  et  glauco  inferioris  possint  dis- 
tingui.”  Our  specimens  certainly  approach  the  forms  now  noticed,  and  even  in  our  small  collection  we  dis- 
tinguish two  varieties,  as  above  mentioned.

AVe  cannot  refer  this  small  and  inelegant  Crotalaria  to  any  described  species,'  We  possess  indeed  what 
appears  to  us  to  be  the  same  from  the  island  of  St  Vincent.  It  approaches  the  C.  dichotoma  of  Graham  in 
Bot.  Mag.  t.  2714,  but  that  is  a fruticose  species  with  lanceolate  acute  leaflets,  and  much  larger  flowers  : 
still  the  two  plants  belong  to  the  same  natural  group  of  this,  extensive  genus.

Hab.  Acapulco. — Our  plant  agrees  well  with  the  figure  in  Bot.  Reg.,  of  which  the  specimen  was  collated 
with  an  authentic  Linnaean  one.  The  leaves,  however,  differ  considerably  from  those  figured  by  Cavanilles, 
and  probably  the  plant  itself  is  very  variable.  The  carina  has  the  lower  edge  fringed  with  white  down.  We 
have  what  we  consider  the  same  species  from  St  Vincent,  but  there  the  hairs  on  the  underside  of  the  leaves 
are  tawmy,  giving  a golden,  instead  of  a hoary  hue  to  that  part  of  the  plant.  The  C.  bracteata  of  Roxb.,  a 
native  of  the  East  Indies,  is  very  similar  to  this : but  the  leaflets  are  larger,  quite  glabrous  on  both  sides,  and 
the  petioles  are  shorter.

downy,  the  underside  densely  clothed  with  velvety  tomentum,  whitish,  but  with  a slight  golden  tinge  : all  of 
them  very  obtuse.  Peduncles  axillary,  bearing  long  racemes,  about  equal  in  length  with  the  leaves.  Flowers 
crowded  and  in  clusters,  so  as  to  form  an  interrupted  raceme,  patent  or  reflexed.  Calyx  clothed  with  tawny 
hairs,  subtended  by  small  bracteas  covered  with  white  hairs.  Mr  Bentham  observes  that  this  is  a widely  dif- 
fused and  apparently  a common  plant ; “ besides  the  numerous  specimens  gathered  by  Pohl,  Martins,  Salz- 
mann,  and  others  in  various  parts  of  Brazil,  it  is  found  in  the  isle  of  St  Vincent’s,  and  in  central  America.  It 
is  Cuming’s  n.  1097  from  Panama.”

Hab.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic.— This  has  much  the  habit  of  G.  glabella,  Mich. but  it  differs  in  its 
hairiness,  in  its  much  larger  very  acute  leaflets,  considerably  smaller  flowers  and  different  inflorescence.  The 
flow^^are  scarcely  half  an  inch  in  length.  Immature  legumes  about  an  inch  long,  clothed  with  tawny  velvety 
hairs.  De  Candolle’s  description  of  his  G.  tuberosa  is  very  brief  and  unsatisfactory  ; yet,  as  far  as  it  goes, 
it  corresponds  with  our  plant,  and  is  also  a native  of  Mexico.

Hab.  Acapulco. — Our  specimens  of  this  handsome  Dalea  are  2-3  feet  long,  and  yet  seem  to  be  but  small 
portions  of  the  entire  plant.  The  leaflets  are  small,  obtuse,  or  only  mucronate,  destitute  of  dots  above.  The 
specimens  are  all  in  fruit : and  in  that  state  the  spikes  are  3-5  inches  in  length,  and  more  than  ^ an  inch  broad ; 
at  first  sight,  apparently,  everywhere  clothed  with  long,  silky  hairs  ; but  on  close  inspection  it  will  be  found 
that  these  hairs  are  partially  situated.  There  are  a few  at  the  base  of  the  calyx,  but  the  exterior  surface  of 
the  calyx  is  not  only  glabrous,  but  glossy  as  if  varnished  ; the  ovate  tube  has  ten  elevated  ribs,  and  between 
the  ribs  are  linear,  elevated,  resinous  dots  ; the  subulate  teeth  of  the  calyx  (about  equal  in  length  with 
the  tube)  are  clothed  at  the  margin  with  long,  dense,  silky  hairs,  so  that,  the  flowers  being  imbricated,  the 
hairs  seem  to  clothe  the  whole  spike.  The  legume  is  shorter  than  the  tube  of  the  corolla,  which  it  entirely

branaceous and  exhibit  no  glands.  The  plant  seems  to  be  entirely  herbaceous  ; and,  as  far  as  can  be  perceived 
from  the  withered  remains  of  its  flowers,  these  are  white  or  cream-coloured.

Hab.  Tepic. — The  single  specimen  is  in  an  imperfect  state  ; but,  so  far  as  we  can  judge,  it  seems  scarcely 
to  diff'er  from  our  D.  elegans  from  the  El  Cerro  del  Morro  in  the  province  of  San  Luis,  S.  America.  The 
flowers  are,  however,  smaller,  but  of  the  same  colour;  and  less  injured  specimens  would,  in  all  probability, 
present  important  distinguishing  characters.

Hab.  San  Bias  to  Tepic. — Our  portions  of  this  plant  measure  less  than  a foot,  slender,  they  are  branched 
and  straggling,  herbaceous.  Leaflets  about  half  an  inch  long.  Flowers  of  the  same  length,  soon  reflexed.  The 
short  cup-shaped  calyx,  with  its  obliquely  5-toothed  mouth,  has  a few  dark-coloured  short  hairs  scattered  over 
the'  surface,  yet  so  as  scarcely  to  affect  the  greenish,  colour ; but  the  short  teeth  and  the  pedicels  are  quite 
black.

as  the  Sugar-Bean  of  the  West  Indies,  and  described  by  him  in  the  work  just  quoted  under  the  name  of

hairy  on  the  nerves,  especially  beneath,  the  intermediate  one  deltoideo-ovate,  acuminate,  on  a rather  long 
petiolule  ; the  lateral  ones  half-deltoid.  Peduncles  a good  deal  longer  than  the  leaves,  bearing  several 
flowers,  2 or  3 together,  pedicelled  or  sessile.  Flowers  small,  greenish-w'hite : the  carina  spirally  twisted. 
Pod  about  2 inches  long,  acinaciform,  tipped  with  the  rather  long,  straight,  rigid,  persistent  style.  There  are 
2 small,  ovate,  striated  bracteolse  at  the  base  of  the  calyx.  An  imperfect  specimen  of  the  same  plant  was  in

Hab.  Realejo. — This  seems  to  be  a tall  growing  plant,  with  woody  branches,  glabrous  everywhere  except 
the  young  shoots.  Leaves  copious,  pa  tent,  and,  as  well  as  the  branches  (especially  the  younger  ones), 
furnished  with  numerous,  scattered,  small,  curved  prickles.  The  main  rachis  bears  3 pairs  of  distantly  placed 
pinnae,  each  pinna  bare  of  leaflets  below,  having  on  its  upper  half,  3 pair  of  rather  closely  set  leaflets,  the 
largest  of  them  less  than  an  inch  long;  these  vary  somewhat  in  shape,  being  ovate,  oval,  or  obovate,  upon  ver}'^ 
short  petiolules,  of  a texture  between  membranaceous  and  coriaceous,  paler-coloured  beneath.  In  the  axils  of 
the  upper  leaves  and  upon  the  extremity  of  the  branches  where  the  leaves  gradually  disappear  (thus  forming 
a sort  of  panicle)  the  spikes  are  situated,  3-4  inches  long,  shortly  pedunculated,  and  growing  singly  or  2 or  3 
together.  The  flowers  and  stamens  seem  to  be  yellow.

general  aspect  of  the  plant  is  different  from  that  of  the  preceding  species  ; the  colour  of  the  flowers  is  deeper

Hab.  Realejo. — A barren  specimen  of  this,  “ the  Nicaragua  wood,"  is  in  the  Herbarium.  It  has  quite  the 
structure  of  foliage  of  Hamatoxylon,  and  in  the  Dictionnaire  des  Sciences  Naturelles,  the  “ Bois  de  Nicaragua” 
is  referred  to  the  Haematoxylon  Campechiamm.  But  our  specimen  has  many  points  of  difference  from  the 
true  H.  Campecheanum.  The  branches  are  much  stouter,  the  ultimate  ones  indeed  cylindrical ; but,  lower 
down,  where  the  thickness  is  equal  to  that  of  the  little  finger,  the  branches  become  compressed  and  as  it  were 
deformed  and  more  or  less  bluntly'  angular.  The  outer  bark  is  much  darker  coloured,  covered  with  little  raised 
points,  so  as  to  render  the  surface  everywhere  quite  rough  not  only  to  the  touch  but  to  the  eye.  The  leaves 
are  larger,  always  even  in  the  young  branches  growing  in  clusters.  With  these  differences  before  us,  we  dare 
not  venture  to  consider  the  tree  as  identical  with  the  ” Logwood,”  nor  do  we  know  whether  in  commerce 
the  two  woods  be  considered  the  same.

previous  one.  It  is  a very  splendid  species ; the  stems  and  branches  long  and  very  woody.  Petiole  three 
quarters  of  an  inch  long.  Leaves  opposite,  broadly  elliptical  rather  than  obovate,  moderately  acute  at  each 
extremity,  between  membranaceous  and  coriaceous,  quite  entire,  indistinctly  squamuloso-farinose  above, 
decidedly  so  beneath,  though  not  very  evident  to  the  naked  eye  : seen  under  the  magnifier  the  little  scales  or 
farina  appear  white  and  round.  Racemes  as  frequently  lateral  as  terminal,  4-6  inches  and  more  long,  the 
rachis  firm  and  woody.  Peduncle  short.  Flowers  very  numerous,  crow'ded,  deflexed  and  pointing  to  one 
side.  Pedicel  (or  rather  pedicelliform  ovary)  the  third  of  an  inch  long,  tetragonal,  mealy  ; free  portion  of  the 
calyx  cup-shaped,  tapering  at  the  base,  mealy,  4-lobed,  lobes  acute.  Petals  4,  alternating  with  the  lobes  of  the 
calyx,  and  situated  at. the  hairy  mouth  of  the  calyx,  very  minute,  squamiform.  Stamens  8,  much  protruded, 
four  times  as  long  as  the  calyx.  Filaments  deep  crimson,  arising  from  the  mouth  of  the  calyx.  Anthers 
orange-colour,  oval-oblong.  Capsules  about  three  quarters  of  an  inch  long,  roundish-rhomboidal,  with  4 
broad,  membranaceous  wings : the  surface  is  almost  destitute  of  the  mealiness  which  clothed  the  ovary. 

Schiede  says  the  Combretum  farinosum  is  called  “ Peyna,”  signifying  a comb,  by  the  Spaniards  of  Acto- 
pan,  probably  because  of  the  closely  placed  one-sided  flowers  of  the  raceme.

part  of  the  plant  is  clothed.  The  specimens  gathered  by  Dr  Sinclair  are  rather  more  glaucous  than  our  former 
ones,  and  the  large'calyx  does  not  in  general  exhibit  so  deep  a tinge  of  purple,  though  that  circumstance  is 
very  variable. — Our  var.  /S.  has  some  of  the  leaves  of  the  stem  three  inches  long,  but  the  upper  ones  are  much 
reduced  in  size,  and  so  imbricated  as  to  give  the  appearance  of  a dense  bracteated  spike  to  the  flowers.

2-3  inches  long,  exceedingly  rough  to  the  touch.  The  flowering  branches  often  run  out  to  a great  length, 
(10  inches  or  a foot)  and  bear  small,  distant,  but  opposite,  narrow-lanceolate,  bracteiform  leaves.

our  present  specimens  a foot  and  more  long,  with  opposite  square  branches.  Leaves,  the  largest  of  them, 
scarcely  an  inch  long,  on  very  short  petioles,  ovate,  acute,  or  rather  obtuse,  entire,  obliquely  and  constantly 
penninerved,  the  nerves  all  springing  from  the  midrib  and  directed  upwards,  above  and  at  the  margin  spar- 
ingly setose  with  short  hairs,  beneath  paler  coloured  and  the  hairs  chiefly  confined  to  the  costa  and  nerves. 
The  upper  branches  are  short,  and  bear  leafy  corymbs  of  few,  rather  small-sized  ^flowers  ; the  collected  flower- 
ing branches  thus  forming  a leafy  corymbose  panicle.  Calyx  4-cleft,  the  tube  ovate,  slightly  contracted  at  the 
mouth,  even  (not  ribbed),  clothed  with  spreading  setae,  which  are  terminated  with  a viscid  gland  ; lobes  of  the 
calyx  lanceolate,  acuminate,  spreading,  destitute  of  setae.  Petals  4,  obovato-rotund,  ciliated.  Stamens  8,  4 
larger  of  which  the  anthers  are  linear-oblong,  furnished  at  the  base  with  2 long  horns  or  fleshy  setae  ; the  4 
smaller  ones  are  destitute  of  those  horns,  and  are  only  slightly  constricted  at  the  base  so  as  there  to  form  a sort 
of  tubercle.  Ovary  broadly  ovate,  quite  glabrous,  the  lower  half  incorporated  with  the  base  of  the  tube  of 
the  calyx,  the  rest  free;  style  filiform  or  slightly  clavate.  The  whole  plant  has  a blackish  hue  when  dry.

Hab.  Realejo. — We  do  not  find  any  genus  of  Cucurbitacece  to  correspond  with  the  present  plant,  of  which,

the  margins  angulato-dentate,  mucronulate,  both  surfaces  scabrous  with  minute  elevated  points.  Petiole 
short,  not  in  general  much  longer  than  the  sinus.  Cirrhi  lateral.  Flowers  axillary:  male  several  (4-6)  in  a 
pedunculated  corymb : female  solitary,  upon  a very  short  pedunele  from  the  base  of  the  peduncle  of  the  male 
corymb,  Male  flowers  smaller  and  slenderer  than  the  female,  but  the  structure  of  the  floral  coverings  is  the 
same  in  both  ; in  the  male  flowers,  however,  the  petals  have  not  the  thickened  tubercular  base  we  find  in 
the  females.  The  column  formed  by  the  filaments  of  the  stamens  is  nearly  as  long  as  the  tube  of  the  calyx  ; 
there  is  no  ovary  nor  the  rudiment  of  one.  The  female  flower  has  no  trace  of  stamens  ; but  the  style  has

as  thick  as  a swan’s  quill,  is  inserted  beneath  at  a great  distance  from  the  margin ; the  general  outline  or 
circumscription  is  roundish-cordate  1 the  lobes  are  very  broadly  obovate  coming  suddenly  to  an  acute  point, 
toothed  at  the  margins  ; the  sinuses  more  or  less  acute  or  obtuse ; the  under  side  is  glaucous.  The  panicles 
are  of  male  flowers  only,  nearly  a foot  long ; the  branches  distant,  but  very  irregularly  placed,  and  having 
the  flowers  clustered  or  conglomerated.  Calyx  exceedingly  minute,  5-toothed.  Corolla  an  inch  or 
an  inch  and  a half  long,  hypocrateriform  ; the  tube  slender ; the  limb  5-parted,  spreading.  Stamens  10, 
inserted  at  the  mouth  of  the  corolla,  evidently  monadelphous,  the  base  of  the  filaments  being  united  into  a 
short  annulus : these  filaments  are  alternately  longer,  all  of  them  fringed  witli  spreading  hairs,  the  shorter 
ones  (so  short  as  at  first  sight  to  give  the  appearance  of  sessile  anthers)  have  the  largest  anthers : — all  of 
them,  however,  are  of  the  same  shape,  oblong,  and  opening  interiorly  by  two  longitudinal  fissures  near  the 
middle  of  the  two  cells  ; they  are  fixed  to  the  top  of  the  filament  by  the  middle  of  the  back.  The  female 
flowers  and  fruit  are  unknown  to  us.

Hab.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic. — St  Hilaire  has  endeavoured  to  show  an  affinity  between  this  plant 
and  the  OnagraricB.  But  it  is  surely  more  nearly  allied  to  Cucurhitacece  and  LoasecB.  Professor  Bindley 
places  it  in  this  latter  Order  without  any  mark  of  doubt,  though  it  differs  from  it  in  the  definite  stamens  and 
solitary  pendent  seed.  There  is  an  excellent  figure  of  the  entire  plant  in  Jacquin’s  “ leones  Plantarum 
Rariores”  above  quoted. — The  flowers  and  fruit  are  nowhere  accurately  figured.  The  calyx  is  coloured, 
large,  funnel-shaped,  pubescenti-scabrous,  divided  half-way  down  into  five  broadly  lanceolate  erecto-patent 
acute  segments;  at  the  base  (which  is  incorporated  with  the  ovary)  are  five,  projecting,  obtuse,  decurrent  teeth, 
alternating  with  the  segments  of  the  calyx ; these  teeth  may  perhaps  be  considered  coadunate  bracteas.  At  first 
sight  they  may  readily  be  mistaken  for  the  calyx,  and  the  real  calyx  for  a corolla,  and  it  is  no  doubt  the  pre- 
sence of  these  which  gave  rise  to  the  remark  in  De  Candolle’s  Prodroraus,  quoted  from  FI.  Mexic.  ms. ; 
“ Fructus  junior  costatus.”  On  laying  open  the  proper  calyx,  five  linear-spathulate  petals  are  seen,  alternat- 
ing with  the  lobes  of  the  calyx,  and  shorter  than  those  lobes,  situated  at  the  mouth  of  the  tube.  Stamens  5, 
alternating  with  the  petals,  and  inserted  on  the  same  line  with  them.  Filaments  as  long  as  the  petals,  hairy. 
Anthers  oblong,  2-celled,  opening  anteriorly  by  two  fissures.  Ovary  adherent  to  the  base  of  the  calyx,  1-

Hab.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic.— This  is  the  same  plant  with  n.  99.  of  Mr  Hartweg’s  Mexican 
collections,  and.  has  been  considered  by  Mr  Bentham  to  be  the  B.  obovata  of  H.B.K. — but  that  plant  is 
described  as  having  a glabrous,  4-sided,  square  stem,  and  “folia  quaterna  obovato-oblonga,  acurainato-mucro- 
nata,  basi  angustata,  reticulato-venosa,  utrinque  glabriuscula  characters  which  do  not  tally  with  our  plant.  Our 
B,  scahra,  is  remarkable  for  the  harsh  rigid  pubescence  which  more  or  less  abundantly  clothes  every  part  of  the 
plant,  and  which  is  particularly  copious  on  the  young  branches  and  foliage  and  on  the  calyces.  Leaves  2-3 
inches  long.  The  stipules  are  formed  by  a broad  membrane,  uniting  the  bases  of  the  petioles  and  bearing  a 
strong  subulate  or  rather  setaceous  tooth,  and  one  or  two  lesser  and  filamentous  ones,  which  are  soon 
deciduous.  Corymb  many-flow'ered,  terminal,  trichotomously  divided,  at  the  setting  on  of  the  branches 
bearing  3 small  linear-lanceolate  leaves  and  similar  stipules  to  those  of  the  stem,  but  having  less  rigid  teeth 
or  setae.  The  calycine  teeth  are  particularly  long,  subulate  and  flexuous  ; the  corolla  an  inch  and  a half  long, 
scarlet  (?),  the  tube  slender,  w’idening  upwards,  the  limb  of  4 broadly  ovate  spreading  segments.* 


* In  Mr  Andrieux’s  Mexican  collections  are  three  plants  which  seem  to  be  referrible  to  this  genus  Bou- 
vardia, and  which  may  be  thus  characterized. 

1.  Bouvardia  Tolucana  ; suffruticosa,  ramis  erectis  trichotomis  foliisque  ternis  lineari-lanceolatis  sessilibus

Hab,  San  Bias  and  Tepic. — In  this  widely  dispersed  species  of  Spermacoce  we  think  we  have  observed 
characters  which  will  almost  invalidate  those  of  the  Genus  Bigelovia  {Borreria.  Meyer,  not  Acharius.) — 
The  essential  distinguishing  mark  of  the  Genus  Bigelovia,  is  to  have  the  “ Capsula  matura  ah  apice  septicide 
dehiscens  dissepimento  libero  nullo.”  (De  Cand.)  Such  is  really  the  case,  generally  speaking,  with  the  fruit 
of  the  plant  now  before  us,  as  showm  by  A.  Richard,  Rub.  t.  14.  fig.  2,  S.  and  in  our  Tab.  XCIX.  B.  fig. 
3 and  4.  Hence,  as  it  appears  to  us,  our  plant  would  be  a Bigelovia.  Schlechtendal’s  character  of  Bigelovia 
in  the  Linncea  (3.  p.  310.)  is  also  quite  characteristic  of  this  kind  of  fruit : — “ Capsula  cal^e  coronata, 
bilocularis,  bivalvis,  septicide  dehiscens,  dissepimento,  prseter  inflexos  valvularum  margines,  nullo ; loculis 
monospermis  intus  demum  hiantibus.”—  But  in  otlier  fruits  on  the  same  specimen  we  find  a different  mode 
of  dehiscence.  Not  unfrequently  one*  or  both  valves  separate  from  the  fiat  inner  superficies  of  the  valves  or 


2.  Bouvardia  xylosteoides  ; fruticosa,  humilis  ? foliis  ternis  late  ovatis  obtusis  breviter  petiolatis  molliter

Hab.  On  slightly  elevated  mountains  about  Mitlam(  Province  of  Oaxaca.  Andrieux,  PI.  Mexic.  exsicc.  n. 
333. — A small,  apparently  humble  shrub,  with  a good  deal  the  general  aspect  of  some  of  the  North  American 
species  of  Xylosteum.  Leaves,  including  the  petioles,  three-fourths  of  an  inch  long,  soft  and  downy,  silky 
beneath.  The  teeth  of  the  calyx  are  long,  spathulate  and  leafy,  i,The  corolla  clothed  with  dense,  white,  silky 
tomentum  • the  limb  of  4 short  broadly  ovate,  spreading  segments.  The  heads  of  few  flowers  seem  to  be 
quite  sessile.

tomentosa.

n.  334. — A doubtful  species  of  Bouvardia.  The  stems  are  w’oody,  tortuous;  the  older  parts  of  the 
branches  marked  with  the  scars  of  fallen  leaves  and  stipules  ; younger  branches  very  downy,  almost  w'oolly. 
Leaves  opposite  2-3  inches  long,  penninerved,  moderately  hairy  above,  woolly  and  much  paler  coloured 
beneath,  where  in  the  young  leaves  it  is  pure  white,  Flow'ers  densely  crow'ded,  so  that  the  corymbs  appear 
rather  to  be  capitula  ; the  segments  of  the  calyx  elongated,  almost  leafy.  The  corollas  about  an  inch  long, 
canescent  with  white  woolly  down. 

* And  then  the  character  is  that  of  Spermacoce,  if  w'e  understand  it  rightly,  “ Capsula  calycis  limbo  ssepe 
obliterato  coronata,  bilocularis,  coccis  monospermis  ab  apice  bipartibilibus,  altero  septo  adnato  clauso,  altero 
septo  rupto  aperto.”  Be  Cand. — Or,  according  to  Schlechtendal,  “ Capsula  calyce  coronata,  bilocularis, 
bivalvis,  dissepimento  parallelo ; loculi  monospermi,  alter  septifrage  dehiscens,  alter  dissepimento  adnato 
clausus.” — Schkcht.  in  Linncea,  3.  p.  355.

carpels,  shown  at  figs.  3 and  4,  and  then  the  dissepiment  is  clearly  seen  to  be  double  (fig.  7.)  and  of  quite  a 
distinct  substance  (not  herbaceous,  but  between  membranous  and  coriaceous)  from  the  valve : and  these,  singly 
or  two  together,  may  often  be  seen  among  the  clusters  of  fruit,  resembling  white,  oval  chaffy  scales.  In 
other  words,  the  dissepiments  sometimes  fall  away  with  the  respective  cells  or  carpels  and  sometimes  remain 
attached  to  the  receptacle  after  these  latter  have  separated.  This  receptacle  is  a small  spongy  conical  body 
(fig.  4.)  whose  apex  reaches  to  the  point  of  attachment  of  the  seed.  The  valves  are  almost  hemispherical; 
one  frequently  bears  three  teeth  of  the  calyx,  and  the  other  two.  The  cavity  is  entirely  filled  by  the  seed, 
which  is  nearly  hemispherical,  transversely  wrinkled,  anteriorly  marked  with  a deep  longitudinal  furrow,  and, 
near  the  base  of  that  furrow,  with  a scar  where  the  seed  was  attached  to  the  dissepiment.  Among  the  cap- 
sules are  numerous  setae. 

The  habit  of  Bigelovia,  it  must  be  confessed,  is  completely  that  of  Spermacoce,  as  is  that  of  Diodia  like- 
wise ; and  we  cannot  but  agree  with  Achille  Richard  in  his  observations  on  the  Genus  Spermacoce,  Mem.  sur 
la  Famille  des  Rubiacees,  p.  150.  “ Un  examen  attentif  d’un  tres  grand  nombre  d’  especes  nous  a convaincu 

de  la  nec'.ssite  de  reunir  en  un  seul  les  trois  genres,  Spermacoce,  Diodia  et  Borreria  {Bigelovia) ; c’est 
toujours  un  raeme  type  d’ organisation,  non  seulement  dans  toutes  les  parties  de  la  fleur,  mais  encore  pour  le 
fruit  d’apres  lequel  on  a fonde  la  distinction  de  ces  trois  genres.  En  effet  que  les  deux  coques  restent  par- 
faitement  closes  comme  dans  les  Diodia,  ou  bien  qu’elle^  offrent  une  fente  longitudinale  comme  dans  les 
Borreria,  ou  enfin  que  la  cloison  reste  completernent  adherente  a Tune  des  coques,  tandis  qu’elle  manque 
dans  I’autre'coque  comme  dans  les  veritables  especes  de  Spermacoce;  nous  ne  voyous  la,  nous  le  repetons, 
qu’un  meme  type  d’organisation,  d’autant  plus  que  tres-souvent  ces  caracteres  ne  sent  pas  si  nettement  dessines 
qu’il  soit  facile  de  rappOrter  une  espece  a telle  ou  telle  de  ces  trois  modifications.  Nous  pensons  done  qu’au 
lieu  d’en  former  des  types  de  genres,  dies  peuvent  simplement  etre  employees  pour  etablir  des  subdivisions  ou 
sections  dans  le  genre  Spermacoce,  qui  est  fort  nombreux  en  especes.”

out a careful  examination  of  the  fruit,  the  distinction  is  not  evident.  But  there  a remarkable  difference  is 
observable,  which  has  given  rise  to  the  generic  name.  The  capsule  is  a pyxidium,  separating  into  two  por- 
tions, not  indeed  exactly  transversely,  but  with  an  angle  somewhat  resembling  that  of  a V inverted,  and  the 
upper  half,  shaped  like  a mitre,  falls  away,  frequently  carrying  the  seeds  along  with  it,  which  are  detached 
from  the  dissepiment  that  remains  in  the  lower  half  {fig.  4,  5.)  The  seeds  are  extremely  curious,  and  judg-

pedicellate  : the  pedicels  very  hairy,  or  rather  silky,  and  mixed  with  very  narrow  silky  paleee  or  membranous 
setae.  The  ovary,  though  of  course  adherent  with  the  tube  of  the  calyx,  has  its  two  rounded  lobes  so 
separated  by  the  axis,  or  continuation  of  the  pedicel,  that  these  lobes  have  the  appearance  of  two  globose 
glands,  placed  one  on  each  side  of  the  pedicel  below  its  apex ; for  above  the  ovary  the  calyx-tube  becomes 
suddenly  contracted,  so  as  to  resemble  a pedicel  to  the  free  portion  or  limb  of  the  calyx  ; this  latter  is  large 
(in  proportion  to  the  size  of  the  flower),  deeply  cut  into  five,  erecto-patent,  spathulate,  but  acute,  herbaceous 
segments,  slightly  fringed  at  the  margin,  whilst  the  white  and  membranous  base  is  clothed  with  long,  spread- 
ing, silky  hairs,  like  the  pedicel.  Coccules  but  little  altered  from  the  lobes  of  the  ovary,  rather  larger,  and 
darker  coloured,  punctate  ; they  are  indehiscent,  fall  off  and  leave  the  axis  or  flattened  upper  portion  of  the 
pedicel,  which  is  fenestrated  (Jig.  3.),  or  perforated  with  an  oblong  fissure,  within  which,  at  the  base,  is  the 
placenta  or  receptacle  of  the  seeds.  The  pericarp  is  rather  thin,  but  succulent,  and  adheres  pretty  closely 
to  the  seed  which  is  black  and  wrinkled,  its  inner  face  marked  with  a deep  oblong  furrow.

Hab.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic. — Stems  two  feet  and  more  long,  spreading,  acutely  4-angled,  the 
angles  winged  below.  Branches  elongated,  downy,  stipules  a broad  short  downy  membrane  with  2-4  rigid 
setse.  Leaves  an  inch  or  an  inch  and  a half  long,  of  a harsh  and  firm  texture  compared  with  the  preceding 
species,  penninerved,  the  nerves  few  and  nearly  parallel  with  the  midrib.  Flowers  pedicellate,  but  so  dense 
as  to  form  a very  compact  globose  capitulum  within  the  four-leaved  involucre.  Pedicels  short,  hairy.  Ovary 
glabrous,  globose,  but  scarcely  2-lobed.  The  contraction  of  the  tube  of  the  calyx  above  the  ovary  is  verv 
slight.  Calyx-limb  much  resembling  that  of  the  last  species,  but  silky  on  the  whole  outer  surface.  Corolla 
with  much  longer  and  very  concave,  almost  boat-shaped  segments,  velvety  on  the  outside.  Filaments  very 

long  and  much  inserted.  Style  shorter  than  the  stamens.  Stigma  clavate  or  capitate,  quite  entire We  find

Hab.  San  Bias  and  Tepic. — Notwithstanding  the  great  similarity  between  this  plant  and  the  Valeriana 
ceratophylla  of  H.B.K.  Nov.  Gen.  Am.  3.  t.  276.  (so  great  indeed,  that  we  had  in  a former  part  of  this 
work  hastily  considered  it  the  same),  it  is  in  reality  a totally  dilferent  thing,  not  even  referrible  to  the  Genus 
Valeriana  at  all.  It  is  a true  Astrephia,  having  no  pappose  calycine  limb,  but  a very  indistinct  entire  border, 
a mere  slightly  elevated  rim.  The  flowers  at  first  appear  to  be  capitate  at  the  extremity  of  the  little  ramuli 
of  the  corymbs  : but  as  the  fructification  advances,  these  ramuli  are  elongated  into  slender  spikes,  with  closely 
placed,  almost  imbricated,  distichous,  fringed,  ovato-lanceolate  bracteas,  within  which  the  ovary  is  situated. 
Corolla  very  narrow  at  the  base,  and  there  a little  oblique,  but  scarcely  gibbous.  Stamens  2,  almost  entirely 
included.  Style  much  inserted.  Stigmas  3.  Limb  of  the  calyx  obsolete,  unaltered  in  fruit.  Fruit  glabrous, 
ovato-triquetrous,  with  tw'o  elevated  lines  in  front,  indicating  two  abortive  cells.  The  more  advanced  fruit 
is,  however,  only  l-celled,  very  deciduous,  leaving  the  rachis  pectinated,  as  it  were,  with  the  closely-placed 
distichous  scales  or  bracteas.

Hab.  Realejo. — De  Candolle’s  character  of  this  plant  is  drawn  up  from  a Mexican  specimen  in  Haenke’s 
Herb.,  and  consequently  we  believe  that  it  is  from  the  Pacific  side  of  Mexico,  and  the  character  quite  accords 
with  our  Realejo  specimens.  The  stem  and  branches  are  decidedly  woody  and  striated,  upwards  clothed 
with  rusty  down.  Leaves  4-6  inches  long,  broadly  lanceolate,  penninerved  and  reticulated,  of  a harsh 
texture,  wrinkled  when  dry.  Petiole  half  an  inch  long.  Panicle  large,  many-flowered,  terminal,  the  branches 
leafy  at  the  base  ; the  ultimate  ones  slightly  recurved,  bearing  the  capitula  sessile  on  the  upper  side.  Scales

Hab.  Acapulco. — Whether  of  the  genus  Phania  of  De  Candolle  or  not,  it  is  doubtless  a congener  with 
our  Phania  ? urenifolia,  supra,  p.  297.  The  habit  is  quite  the  same,  and  the  involucre  and  corolla : the 
leaves  however  and  the  pappus  are  extremely  different. 

1.  Stevia  (n.  sp.) ; pubescenti-glandulosa  superne  praecipue,  folds  oppositis 

ellipticis  seu  ovato-ellipticis  serratis  trinerviis  basi  brevi-attenuatis  sessilibus,  capitulis 
glomeratis  corymboso-paniculatis,  pappi  setis  3-4  asperis  longitudine  corollae. 

Hab.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic. — A tall  growing  shrubby  plant  with  a good  deal  the  appearance  of 
Stevia  trachelioides,  DC.  and  Hook.  Bot.  Mag.  t.  3856: — but  the  pappus  is  extremely,  different,  having 
no  paleae  and  only  from  3 to  4 long  scabrous  setae.  It  has  not  enough  of  setae  to  range  with  De  Candolle’s 
Div.  Multiaristatce. 

2.  Hebeclinium  Tepicanum  (u.  sp.) ; fructicosum,  glabrum,  folds  raembranaceis  ovato- 
lanceolatis  acuminatis  petiolatis  pellucido-punctatis  serratis,  panicula  terminad  thyrsoidea,

Hab.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic. — The  general  aspect  of  this  plant  is  very  similar  to  that  of  the  well

Hab.  Realejo. — Apparently  a tall  growing  herbaceous  plant,  scabrous  to  the  touch,  and,  when  the  leaves 
are  magnified,  the  hairs  are  seen  to  be  short  but  situated  on  a small  white  tubercle  as  in  the  preceding 
species,  from  which  in  other  respects  it  is  totally  different.  The  acbenia  are  too  young  to  allow  us  to  describe 
their  form  accurately.

Hab.  Realejo. — Here,  also,  the  flowers  are  too  young,  to  exhibit  the  exact  structure  of  the  achenium  and 
pappus : but  the  species  is  very  different  from  the  preceding  ones.  The  capitula  are  numerous  and  frequently

acuminate,  wrinkled,  more  or  less  downy,  especially  the  upper  ones.  The  flowers  do  not  extend  much  be-

Hab.  /3.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic.— Well  preserved  specimens  of  this  plant  have  satisfied  us  that  we 
have  confounded  two  very  distinct  species  of  ErytJirma  at  our  p.  302  above  quoted.  The  Talisco  plant  is, 
we  believe,  E.  Texensis,  Grisebach,  Gent.  p.  139.  {E.  Mexicana— Griseh.  mst.  in  Herb.  Hook.)  in  an 
old  state.  The  other  is  a broad  leaved  state  of  our  E.  macrantha.  Dr  Sinclair’s  perfect  specimens  have 
the  fiowers  so  large  that  we  did  not  hesitate,  at  first,  in  considering  them  as  belonging  to  a large  flowered 
species  of  Ghironia,  particularly  near  some  of  the  slender  varieties  of  C.  linoides : and  the  generic  differ- 
ences between  the  two,  it  must  be  acknowledged,  are  very  slight.  In  our  plant  there  is  no  perceptible  connec- 
tivum  between  the  cells  of  the  anthers,  which  is  the  main  character  of  Grisebach’s  Erythraacecs : — and  the 
tube  of  the  corolla  is  as  short  in  our  present  species  as  in  any  Ghironia.

Hab,  Realejo. — I can  find  no  description  of  this  fine  species,  which  may  perhaps  be  referred  to  Spa- 
thodea.  The  leaves  are  4-6  inches  long,  membranaceous,  penninerved,  the  nerves  obliquely  transverse, 
numerous,  parallel.  The  flowers  2-3  inches  long : corolla  apparently  yellow.  There  is  no  specimen  of 
fruit : but  Dr  Sinclair  has  put  up  with  the  specimens  the  dissepiment  of  a capsule  which  is  5 J inches  long, 
oblongo-elliptical,  chartaceous,  much  thickened  at  the  margins  on  both  sides : seeds  numerous,  obcordate, 
with  an  exceedingly  broad,  delicate,  membranaceous  wdng,  marked  with  radiating  nerves.

tomentosis,  spicis  paniculatis  longissirais  revolutis,  pedunculis  calycibusque  dense  tomen- 
toso-hirsutis.— Gen.  Syst.  Bot.  and  Gard.  v.  4.  251. 

Wigandia  scorpioides  seems  to  have  been  only  described  by  Choisy  from  an  unpublished  drawing  of  Sesse 
and  Mocino,  but  there  can  be  no  question  of  this  being  the  same  plant.  Our  specimens  are  2 feet  long,  and 
yet  do  not  exhibit  the  lower  leaves.  The  stem  is  thicker  than  a goose  quill,  obtusely  angular,  downy,  not  in 
the  least  hairy.  Leaves  on  our  specimens  alternate,  3-5  inches  long,  nearly  elliptical,  on  a rather  short 
petiole,  acute,  irregularly  toothed,  of  a thickish  texture,  above  minutely  reticulated  with  veins,  wrinkled  and 
slightly  downy,  beneath  thickly  clothed  with  white  tomentum.  The  upper  branches  form  a large  paniele  of 
secund  large  spikes,  4-6  inches  long,  revolute  at  their  apices.  * Calyx  large,  cut  to  the  middle  in  5 rather 
long,  subulate  (in  the  dry  state  curved)  segments,  covered  with  dense  hairy  tomentum.  Corolla  half  an  inch 
or  more  across ; in  its  structure,  and  that  of  the  stamens  and  pistil,  exhibiting  the  same  appearances  as  W. 
urens.  Branches  of  the  styles,  after  the  falling  away  of  the  corolla,  much  protruded  beyond  the  segments  of 
the  calyx. 

We  may  here  observe  that  Choisy  has  described  the  Mexican  Wigandia  urens  of  Kunth  and  us  (supra,  p. 
303),  as  a distinct  species,  with  the  following  name  and  character : 

W.  Kunthii;  hispidissima,  foliis  ovato-cordatis  duplicato-crenatis  utrinque  pilosis  obtusis,  paniculis  ter- 
minalibus  ramosis,  sepalis  lineari-lanceolatis  acutiusculis  canescenti-tomentosis,  capsulis  pilis  longis  vestitis. 
Choisy,  in  Mem.  Phys.  Gen.  Q.  p.  116. 

The  original  Wigandia  urens  is  a native  of  Peru,  whence  we  possess  fine  specimens  from  Mr  Cuming, 
Mr  Mathews,  and  Mr  M‘Lean.

from  H.  glandulosa.  If  the  present  plant  be  the  real  H.  Cervantesii,  it  is  undoubtedly  distinct.  It  is  a pro- 
cumbent, small,  straggling,  somewhat  dichotomous  species  ; the  younger  branches  only  clothed  with  short, 
glandular  down ; flowers  glomerated,  terminal,  but  more  generally  sessile  in  the  axil  of  the  cauline  leaves. 
Bracteas  opaque,  slightly  down}',  scarcely  glandular,  lanceolate,  but  rather  broader  upward,  mucronate  and 
mucronato-serrate,  1-nerved,  obscurely  reticulated.  The  leaves  are  ovate,  broader  than  Humboldt  describes 
them  to  be.

foot  in  length.  Leaves  2 inches  long,  in  remote,  constantly  opposite  pairs  ; within  from  4 to  6 inches  of  the 
apex  of  the  branch  they  suddenly  become  bright  green,  cordiform,  alternate  bractem,  an  inch  long,  the  upper 
crowded  and  broader,  all  of  them  with  so  deep  and  narrow  a sinus  at  the  base,  that  the  two  lobes  embrace 
the  stem  which  thus  appears  perfoliate.

MEXICO— SUPPLEMENT. 


[PistiacecE. 


rect  in  referring  the  species  to  Mr  Don’s  P.  radiata,  the  leaves  are  constantly  quinate,  a foot  long,  slender, 
slightly  scabrous  at  the  margin  : the  sheaths  2 inches  long,  brown.  The  leaves  were  unknown  to  Mr  Don. 
P.  patula  of  Cham,  and  Schlecht.  has  the  leaves  only  ternate  or  sometimes  quaternate.  Good  specimens, 
foliage  and  fruit  of  Mexican  Pines  are  much  to  be  desired.

Hab.  Between  San  Bias  and  Tepic We  regret  there  are  no  glands  of  this  oak,  of  which  we  can  find  no 

description,  nor  any  fertile  flowers.  The  leaves  are  4-5  inches  long,  terminated  by  a very  evident  but  brittle 
awn,  2 or  3 lines  in  length,  generally  broken  on  the  older  leaves.
