equal to the length of the tube. Some of the stamens are 
alittle protruded. Anthers oblong, bluish. Germen ovate, 
surrounded by a glandular ring. 
This fine new species of Cottomia (a genus, by the bye, 
which seems to me too closely allied to Gix1a), which is 
much more worthy of cultivation than C. parviflora, was 
discovered by Mr. Doveras and Dr. Scovuter on the North- 
west coast of America, especially about the mouth of the 
Columbia; and it has been traced by the latter from the 
sea to the source of that vast river in the Rocky Mountains, 
which seem to be its limits to the East. 
Flowers in the open border the whole summer. Intro- 
duced by the Horticultural Society in 1827.
