fect and scanty, and the exact locality from which it was obtained 
is not known, but it is supposed to have come from “along the 
Platte or the Canadian River.” Fendler re-discovered it on the 
“banks of Santa Fe Creek, near the water, where the stream is 
walled in on both sides by high rocks.” It is plentiful along 
Santa Fe Creek in favorable situations, usually growing on rocks 
or on talus. No. 3710. 
/ Epwinia Wricati (Engelm. & Gray).

77, V5.7. 2. 1852. 
The two plants figured in the plate referred to above, un- 
doubtedly belong to different species. Our plant, no. 3513, was 
collected in flower at Embudo, Taos County, on the rocky banks 
of the Rio Grande river, on the 10th of May. It is an erect bush, 
four or five feet high, covered in the flowering season with an 
abundance of large, pink tinged flowers. The original is Wright's 
228a, found in “ crevices of rocks on the San Pedro river,” Texas.

iors Fendlen A. Gray, Mem. Am: Acad. (II) 2: 
1849. 
The original of this species is Fendler’s no. 272, collected on 
“margins of Santa Fe Creek, in fertile soil.” Our no. 3801 was 
obtained in similar situations, always growing on the very edge of 
the stream, or in wet, marshy places. It was first noticed at a 
point eight miles east of Santa Fe, and is scattered at intervals 
along the upper part of the stream, which rises in the mountains 
some twenty miles from the town.

Phlox speciosa var. Stansburyi Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. Surv.

This species differs in a number of particulars from Phlox longt- 
folia, to which it was referred by Gray, as a variety. Its geo- 
graphical range is also different, as it belongs to the southwest, 
while dongifolia is a northern plant. Collected on the plateau west 
of the Rio Grande river, at Barranca, Taos County, no. 3589. The 
original localities are ‘‘ gravelly hills near the Organ mountains,
