In Mr. Douglas's Herbarium it is considered the same 
as C. ciliosum, a plant described by Pursh, from specimens 
found by Lewis and Clarke on the banks of the Koos- 
koosky ; and we were formerly disposed to concur in this 
opinion. But upon reconsidering Pursh's character of 
C. ciliosum, to which he ascribes a hirsute tube of the co- 
rolla, and the small technical differences that are sufficient 
to distinguish the species of this genus, we have adopted 
the conclusion that the plant now described is distinct ; it 
has never any hairs upon its corolla. In the colour of its 
flowers, it resembles C. Douglasii, a species discovered by 
Mr. Douglas on the eastern side of America, and described 
in the Horticultural Transactions. It also approaches 
C. parviflorum, from which its shewy blossoms practically 
distinguish it at first sight. 
Drawn in the Garden of the Horticultural Society last 
summer.
