366 Mr. Bentuam’s Observations on the Genus Hosackia 
§ 2. Stipule minute nigrescentes, scpé deciduc. 
6. H. GRANDIFLORA, apice levitér pubescens, foliis sub-7-foliolatis, pedunculis. 
elongatis apice foliolo unico sessili bracteatis, dentibus calycinis tubo vix 
brevioribus. 7 
Size and habit of H. bicolor. Young leaves and calyces pubescent. Stipules 
only observable in the very young leaves. Flowers larger than in H. bicolor, 
but the footstalks of the petioles are less distant than in the other species. 
California. Douglas. 
7. H. pecumpens, adpressé pubescens, foliis 4—5-foliolatis, pedunculis folio 
subbrevioribus multifloris apice folio subtrifoliolato bracteatis, dentibus | 
calycinis tubum zequantibus. Benth. in Bot. Reg. sub t. 1257. Hooker, 
Fl. Bor. Amer. t. 134. 
. Ale but slightly adherent. 
Columbia river. Douglas. 
8. H. romentosa (Hook. & Arn. Bot. of Beech. Voy. 137 ?), piloso-tomentosa, 
foliis 4—5-foliolatis, pedunculis brevissimis multifloris foliolo unico brac- 
teatis, dentibus calycinis tubo brevioribus. 
In the above-quoted work the bracts are described as similar to the leaves, 
which is not the case in the specimens before me; it is therefore doubtful 
whether it be in fact the same plant. The alc in this and the two following 
species are as strongly adherent to the carina as in H. crassifolia, &c. 
California. Douglas. 
9. H. cvrisorpEs, decumbens glabra vel apice subsericea, ramis angulatis, 
foliis 3—5-foliolatis, pedunculis multifloris foliolo minimo bracteatis, den- 
tibus calycinis subulato-aristatis recurvis. 
Leaves small, thick, with very short petioles. Stipules small and black, but 
hard and persistent in the form of tubercles. Flowers purple ?, rather smaller 
than in H. decumbens. 
California. Douglas. 
10. H. suncea, glabra, ramis angulatis strictis, foliis remotis 3—5-foliolatis,
