figured on the same plate in the “ Flora Boreali Americana” 
as Wulfenia reniformis, which latter name is now retained for 
that here figured. Its range is from Oregon to N. California, 
and westwards to Idaho. 8S. rotwndifolia inhabits, besides 
the habitat given by Douglas, Fort Vancouver and the Willa- 
mette River, and a var. cordata, Gray, occurs in Mendocino 
County, California. May it not be possible that these 
supposed species are sexual forms of one? The capsule 
varies very much in S. reniformis, from orbicular and 
obscurely retuse to broadly two-lobed. 
For plants of S. reniformis the Royal Gardens are 
indebted to Mr. Brockbank, of Didsbury, Manchester, with 
whom it flowered in April of last year. It is perfectly 
hardy. 
Desor. Glabrous or obscurely hairy. ootstock stout, 
elongate. Leaves one and a half to two and a half inches

Scape five to ten inches long, stout, with many scattered 
leafy crenate sessile or petioled bracts. Raceme erect, four

bracts coriaceous, cblong, longer than the pedicels, which

ofaninch long. Sepals linear-oblong and pedicels glandular- 
hairy. Corolla-tube inflated, globose, hairy within, shorter
