M. Crépin’s paper is in effect a critical review of Dr. Watson’s 
Revision of the North American Roses, in the 20th volume of 
the Proceedings of the American Academy; he differs from our 
American authority in some points, while on others they are 
agreed. M. Crépin thinks R. lucida and R. nitida need more 
study, but regards R. humilis as easily distinguishable. He 
doubts the distinctness of several West American species, and 
appeals to American botanists to send him specimens, saying 
that our aid is indispensable in closing the monograph to which 
he has devoted so many years of study. We trust that M. 
Crépin’s request will not be neglected.

We find here described Eschscholtzia maritima from the 
island of San Miguel, very interesting and important from its 
affinity to Hunnemannia; Streptanthus albidus, Thelypodium 
rigidum, Silene simulans, Lepigonum tenue, Calyptridium nudum, 
Lupinus Franciscanus and L. pachylobus, Trifolium filipes, Rham- 
nus rubra, Ribes amictum, Cinothera nitida, Cnicus amplifolius, 
Troximon elatum, Gilia mellita and G. parvula, Pentstemon 
leucanthus, Muilla transmontana and Hookera leptandra. There 
_ are also interesting notes on Carfenteria, in which Prof. Greene 
_ finds close affinity to Philadelphus, and on Stachys Californica, 
_Benth., which he well distinguishes from S. du//ata.
