A very remarkable and pretty little annual, allied to 
Epitosium and Crarxia; and well distinguished from both 
by Drs. Fiscuer and Meyer in the work above quoted, 
Where many rare Californian plants are first described. 
The present plant inhabits Ross, in New California. Seeds 
were kindly sent by Dr. Fiscuer to the Glasgow Botanic : 
Garden, where the plants produced their lively blossoms in 
the open border during the months of August and Sep- 
tember.

rounded, glabrous, red. Leaves below opposite, and soon 
deciduous,

of the flowers,
