NYCTAGINACES. 
Abronia fragrans Nutt.; Hook. Kew Journ. Bot. v, 261 (1853). 
From its fruit, though not quite mature, this plant seems to belong to the 
species named. It differs, however, from the typical form in its narrower leaves 
and more elongated peduncles. More abundant material and fully ripened 
fruit are needed entirely to establish this reference. The specimens do not agree 
with the description of 4. suksdorfii by Coulter & Fisher, '! of which, however, 
T have seen no typical examples.

Amaranthus retroflexus L. Sp. Pl. ii, 991 (1753). 
Except in the reddish tinge of stem and spikes, this plantagrees well with our 
specimens of A. retroflecus, But not one of our plants referred to this species 
agrees with the original Linnean description ‘ caule firmo, subvilloso, flexuoso 
a folio ad folium,” i, e., the rigid stem zigzag. The lower branches also are 
described as at first recurved, then ascending,” apparently as in Al. albus. The 
plant at present understood to be dA. retroflerus thus appears not to be the 
Linnivan species.
