Hab. North-West coast of America. Chamisso. — I possess no native specimens of this or the preceding 

 species of (Enothera; but, judging from the figures above quoted, they appear very distinct in the leaves, in 

 the flowers, and especially in the fruit. BIr. Don (see Bot. Mag. t. 2424) seems disposed to refer the (E. 

 Romaiizovii, which he had previously described in the Bot. Beg., to the Chilian CE, tenella, a totally different 

 plant : while Mr. Lindley (Hort. Soc. Trans, v. 6. p. 94.) is inclined to consider the plant figured in the Bot. 

 Reg. the same as the CE. purpurea, and the CE. Romanzovii of Hornemann the same as (E. tenella. Hor- 

 nemann himself says of it " admodum affiuis (E. purpuremr
