Notes on Plants of New Mexico. 
By A. A. HELLER. 
Nine weeks of the season of 1897, or from May roth to July 
17th, were spent in northern New Mexico by Mrs. Heller and 
myself. We were located at Santa Fe, the bulk of the collecting 
being done in the vicinity of that town. In all, some two hundred’ 
and forty numbers were collected, among them a dozen or more 
n€w species, and many rare ones. Among the latter are a large 
number of authentic specimens of the types of Fendler’s plants. 
Part of the collection has already been distributed, the new species 
bearing on their labels the names under which they will be de- 
scribed as soon as a full report can be published. The following 
notes are preliminary to this intended report : 
EDWINIA nom. nov. 
[ Jamesita T. & G. Fl. N. Am. 1: 593. 1840. Not Raf. 1832.] 
It appears that the name given to this beautiful shrub is not 
tenable on account of the older /amesia of Rafinesque. That the 
name of Edwin P. James, who did much to advance the interests 
of botany during the first half of the century, should be altogether 
dropped, does not seem fair, and with this idea in view, I assign 
to the genus the name Adwinia. 
{Epwinta Americana (T. & G.). 
Jamesia Americana T. & G. Fl. N. Am. 1: 593. 1840. 
The specimen upon which the genus was founded was imper-
