Several species are mentioned as producing “loco” effects,

This is a work which will be highly appreciated by every 
botanist for the region lying west of the ninety-seventh meridian, 
in Texas. It is to be issued in parts, the present one including 
‘the Polypetale only. The keys and descriptions seem clear, 
useless synonomy is avoided, and there is a gratifying attempt at 
independence in the matter of nomenclature which augurs well 
for the work. Thelypodium Vaseyt, n. sp. is figured. 
Masdevallia platyglossa. (Bot. Mag. t. 7185).
