having been observed, those of the present alone may have been 
collected and raised? The plant is, on the whole, very much 
nearer to Douglasii than to callosa, showing no approach to 
the lanceolate leaf of the latter; and the inflorescence, though so 
much shorter than in Dowglasit, is by no means cymose. Such 
are the facts of this curious case, which we must leave to the 
future to decide. We have figured these species from Mr. 
Noble’s specimens, and must own that were it not for the patent 
calyx-lobes and evident series of glands, we should have regarded 
this as a variety of S. Douglasiv. 
Descr. An erect sirwb, intermediate in habit between S. cal- 
losa and Douglasit. Branches and branchlets reddish, pube- 
-rulous. Leaves two to five inches long, linear-oblong, acute, 
coarsely duplicato-serrate from below the middle upwards, ser- 
ratures tipped with minute glands; upper surface deep-green, 
glabrous, under paler, densely pubescent. Jnflorescence a broad, 
short, subconical ¢hyrsus of densely-crowded flowers, very similar 
to, but rather deeper coloured than 8. Douglasit. Calyzx-lobes 
patent, the tube glabrous within. Dzsc with a series of small, 
suberect glands. Ovaries glabrous. J. D. H.
