Hab. /3. Snake Country ; at Snake Fort. ( Tolmie.)— This var. is probably the A. Hookeri of Nutt. 1. c., 

 which he found in the Rocky Mountains, lat. 40°, and of which he remarks that it is " allied to A. Frank- 

 linii, but with shorter leaves, bracteas, and sepals."

 the Californian specimens from Mr Douglas, there alluded to.)

These specimens quite agree with the Mexican L. pulchra, above quoted, except in the narrower leaves. 

 The petals are deep red. 



Ord. IX. MALVACEAE. Juss. 



1. Malva rotundifolia. L. — M. obtusa. Torr. et Gr. Fl. 1. p. 225. 



We do not see how this in any way differs from the M. rotundifolia of Europe, and it is in all probability an 

 introduced plant. 



2. M. malachroides ; herbacea erecta ubique piloso-hispida, foliis longe petiolatis mem- 

 branaceis profunde cordatis subprofunde 5-7-lobis acutis grossesubinciso-dentatis, stipulis 

 subulatis, pedunculo terminali foliis breviore, floribus spicatis, involucri bracteis 3 subu- 

 latis calyceque hispidissimis, petalis bifidis. 



We possess no fruit of this plant, which seems very different from anything hitherto described.

 floribus aggregatis, calycis 5-partiti laciniis acuminatissimis. (Tab. LXXVI.)— Torr. et

Column of stamens, as Messrs Torrey and Gray have described it, double ; outer one hispid externally 

 Iobed below the middle, the anthers in a single row, about five at the summit of each of the lobes ; inner one 

 irregularly lobed, rather shorter than the outer, and connate with it above the base. Ovaries 9, one inserted 

 into a shallow 9-toothed cap.
