Mr. Thos. Howell sends us from the Columbia River, near the 
Cascades, as ZT: odorata, a plant which we do not find sufficiently 
distinct from 7; grandiflora, to maintain as a species.

Washington. 
In Erythea, 3: 55, Prof. E. L. Greene gives the reasons why, in 
his judgment, Heuchera racemosa S. Watson should be referred to 
Tellima, and in the same volume at page 102, after giving new 
Teasons why he would restore to generic rank the genus Litho- 
Phragma, refers Heuchera Williamsii Eaton, to this latter genus. 
There certainly seems to be ground for both these positions. With 
reference to the plant collected by Mr. Williams it is interesting 
to note that both Mr. Canby and Prof. Eaton referred it to Zé/- 
‘ima at first, and the latter put the plant finally into Heuchera 
Simply because it had entire petals and five stamens. In the 
Flora of North America, Torrey and Gray, 1: 585, we are told 
that Mr. Nuttall, in his manuscript notes, called attention to the 
accordance of Zellima Cymbalaria Walp. (Saxifraga Californica 
Nutt. mss.) with Lithophragma, while he also noticed the fact that 
the styles are sometimes two only. This makes it easier for us to o 
refer Heuchera Williamsii to Lithophragma. 
If through the adoption of the arrangement above referred to, 
We sacrifice a stamen character, we gain by removing from the 
genus Heuchera the only two species that seem to be out of sym- 
pathy with the rest through having a purely racemose inflores- 
cence.
