Hab, From Lake Huron to the Saskatchawan and the Rocky" Mountains, and to Bear Lake. Dr Rich'

 and in the shape of its leaves,

Hab. Lake Huron, Lake Winipeg, and plains of Red River and Saskatchawan, to the Bear Lake. Dr 

 Richardson. Drummond. — This I have received from the American botanists as C. hyhridum: but that 

 species has a more panicled inflorescence, with divaricating branches. The present exactly accords with the 



E. Bot. C. hf/bridum. 



7. C. humile; parvum ramosum decumbens, foliis inferioribus ovato-spathulatis supe- 

 rioribus oblongis vel linearibus omnibus integerrimis petiolatis, floribus axillaribus 

 glomeratis, glomerulis globosis. 



Hab. Marshes of the Saskatchawan. — This is a small spreading plant, scarcely more than three inches in 

 diameter, glabrous, turning almost black in drying. Glomeruli of flowers about as largo as a small pea, very 

 compact, and arising from the axil of almost every leaf. 



8. C? zoster (sfolium ; ramis copiosis plerumque oppositis divaricatis, foliis saepe op- 

 positis linearibus integerrimis, floribus glomerato-spicatis axillaribus terminalibusque, 

 spicis subfoliosis,- — 13. foliis lineari-oblongis. 



Hab. N. W. C. of America. Menzies. Columbia and Straits of De Fuca, (in salt marshes?) Dr Scouler. 

 — A very singular-looking plant, with flowers so much injured by pressure that they cannot be satisfactorily 

 examined. Branches generally opposite, and decussate, reddish, the midrib of the same colour. Leaves 

 mostly opposite also, 3-4 inches long, and scarcely a hne wide in ««, broader and shorter in |S. ; all quite 

 entire. It may possibly be an Atriplex ; and perhaps a luxuriant state oi A. Gmelini. 



9. C. ? spinosum; fruticosum, ramis spinescentibus glabris, foliis fasclculatis obovatis 

 carnosis subsessilibus, floribus polygamis? 



Hab. Interior of North California. Douglas. 2826.— The specimens are very Imperfect. The plant ti 

 evidently shrubby and spiny, clothed with pale-colourod, glabrous bark. Leaves scarcely half an inch long. 

 There are a few terminal flowers, exactly like the male flowers of an Atriplex^ or Chenopodium with an 

 abortive pistil.
