Benth. (Bot. Reg. t. 1689), has white flowers delicately stained 
with pink. ‘The plant now before us, I am ready to allow, has all 
the essential characters of Z. densiflorus, but its flowers are quite 
yellow when fully expanded, even inclining to orange, a colour 
one would think very little likely to vary to white tinged with 
rose. Future observations may determine this point. Among 
my dried native specimens in the herbarium, I may say,—1, that 
Dr. Torrey’s “ LZ. densiflorus=L. Menziesii,’ above alluded to, 
clearly an annual, is a larger and more straggling plant than ours, 
with larger and clearly white flowers; 2, I possess from Dr. 
Torrey what is probably the same species (without name) from 
Fremont’s Expedition in 1846, n. 473, equally straggling, and 
the flowers look as if they might have been yellow; 3, a speci- 
men from Douglas, apparently perennial, probably the same as 
Agardh described from, seems identical in habit and structure, 
and apparently in colour of the flowers; 4, Coulter’s n. 381, 
which Mr. Bentham, in ‘ Plante Hartwegiane,’ /. c., refers to L. 
Menziesii, quite the same as ours, but colour of the flowers 
doubtful.
