Eriogynia — On the Gejtus. Sereno Watson. (Bot. Gaz., xv. 



241, 242, PI. xiv). 



The discovery of a new rosaceous plant allied to Spircea 

 ccespitosa, Nutt. has determined the author to study certain allied 

 species of 5//r^« with the result that : ''\{ Enogynia pectiiiata 

 is rightly separated from Spiraa, as I think, then 5. ccespitosa 

 should rather be joined with it than retained in Spircsa, and with 

 it should go our new species, which I have accordingly named 

 E. iinifloray Nevertheless the author admits that the differences 

 between the species is so marked that he proposes to divide the 

 genus into three sections as follows: Eriogynia proper, repre- 

 sented by E. pectinata, PetropJiytnm by E. ccespitosa, and Kelscya 

 (named in honor of the discoverer, Rev. F. D. Kelsey) for E. 

 uniflora. The three species are represented on the accompany- 

 ing plate.
