vo. v.| Writings of Edward L. Greene. 83 
Argemone corymbosa Greene is A. platyceras Link & Otto: It 
was found about a railway station on the Mojave Desert and has 
been only once collected. 
Papaver Lemmoni Greene is P. Californicum™* Gray. 
Mr. Greene refers MJeconopsis heterophylla to Papaver and 
copies the incorrect reference of Bot. Calif. to the plate number 
of Hooker’s Icones. | 
Platystigma (Meconella) denticulatum Greene is Platystemon 
Oreganus (Nutt.) 
Dendromecon flexilet Greene is D. rigidum var. Harfordit 
(Kell.) 
Platystemon crinitus Greene is P. Californicus Benth. 
~ Eschscholtzia Austine, glyptosperma,t Mexicana,§ peninsularis, || 
rhombipetala, elegans,4| ramosa,** Parishii, +} maritima, modesta, 
tenuisecta, leptandra, Lemmont,{{ ambigua Greene are unneces- 
sary additions to the synonymy of the genus, all possible species 
having been already amply provided for in previous synonyms. 
In Flora Franciscana, perhaps having reason to fear that his £. 
glauca was in danget of being mistaken for a half dozen other 
species, he provides it with a new and striking character— 
‘* Species exceedingly well-marked by a certain not well-definable 
grace of its very beautiful white-glaucous foliage.’’ The phrase 
is so inimitable that one regrets to disturb it, but judging by the 
type specimen the ‘‘ white-glaucous ”» part is a mistake. 
Nasturtium occidentale Greene is NV. curvisiliqua (Hook.). The 
statement that the pods are ‘‘ flattened contrary to the partition” _ 
is misleading, the partition being nearly as broad as the valves. 
Nasturtium dictyotum Greene. This exactly matches spect- 
mens of JN. sessiliflorum Nutt. and other specimens current as 
N. palustre DC.
