spreading horizontally. Stamens wholly within the tube. 
Germen oval, three-celled, each cell having two seeds: 
Style filiform, as long as the tube of the corolla: Stigmas 
three, linear-filiform. 
Introduced to the Horticultural Society’s Gardens at 
Chiswick, by Mr. Davin Dovetas, who, as well as Dr. 
Scouter, found it about Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia. 
Mr. Dovetas afterwards ascertained it to be ‘‘ a common 
plant on the subalpine hills of North-west America, grow- 
ing in partially shaded places. It is of easy cultivation in 
any soil ; flowering through the summer. 
I have specimens in my Herbarium, which were gathered 
by Mr. Menzies in California, in 1792. 
Mr. Dovexas, in his MSS., has considered this plant to be 
a Giza ; and, indeed, I scarcely see how it is to be distin- 
guished from that Genus, except in the inflorescence. If 
the situation of the stamens in the sinus of the segments of 
the corolla be characteristic of Gina, then G. capitata is the 
only North American species with which I am acquainted. 
The present plant cannot, however, be separated from the 
Genus of the plants in the two preceding figures CoLtomIs 
linearis and C. grandiflora.
