been found at Prattville, Plumas County, California, by 
Mr. R. M. Austin, and elsewhere in the same state. 
I have sought in vain for other characters than those 
given whereby to distinguish C. pustllum from it. 
The specimens of var. pusillum figured were purchased 
for the Royal Gardens, Kew, at an auction-sale of Messrs. 
Protheroe and Morris, in May of last year, and flowered 
on the 14th of the same month, the flowers, which are 
fragrant, lasting only three days. Specimens have also 
been received from Mr. Elwes, of Colesborne Park, Chel- 
tenham, In neither case was the native country known, 
but there is a report that this was Florida, a most im- 
probable habitat for a mountain plant of the western shore 
of the American continent.—J. D. H.
