and Co., under the name of CO. Fremonti, a very different 
species, with very large leaves and no tails to the achenes. 
The flowers which appear in September are much paler 
than as described in native specimens. The plant was 
nearly killed by last winters’ cold, and is only now beginning 
to grow again. 
Descr. A rambling climber, with very slender much- 
branched glabrous stems, and pubescent branchlets. Leaves 
leathery and very closely reticulate with prominent nerves 
on both surfaces, upper simple, elliptic, obtuse or apiculate, 
lower pinnate with seven to nine leaflets which are most 
variable in size and in shape, from oblong or lanceolate to 
rounded, and in being entire or lobed. Flowers solitary, 
pendulous on the ends of long slender naked pubescent 
peduncles. Perianth ovoid, an inch long, dull greenish 
and purplish. Sepals lanceolate, pubescent, connivent 
except at the recurved tips, thickly coriaceous and grooved, 
the margins not thinning out into a waved border. Fila- 
ments and slender anthers silky. Achenes with long silky 
tails.—J. D. H. 7
