140 Eastwood : Some small-flowered Species of 



* 



observation of the author the differences in the shape and insertion 



of these scales appear to be specific. 



None of the old names, parviflora, heterophylla, pedunculated, 

 have been assigned to any of these species. If, in ignorance of 



the types, the writer has made any synonyms, no great harm is 

 done and the result will be less confusing than if old names were 

 applied to new plants. The chances of making synonyms are 

 less in the former than in the latter case, since N. parviflora and 

 N. pediuiculata were both originally collected on the Columbia 

 River and are probably not natives of California ; while N. hetero- 

 phylla was collected at Bodega Port, a place with many plants pe- 

 culiar to itself. 



The species seem to naturally arrange themselves into the fol- 

 lowing sections.
