Caules basi lignosi. Rami breves, adscendentes, ramosi, pilis patentibus villosi. Folia fere Calaminthe 
Nepete, breviter petiolata, semipollicaria vel paullo longiora, obtusa, cuneata, margine recurva, venoso-rugosa, 
utrinque hirsuta. Pedunculi terminales, verticillastro vel capitulo coronati ultra pollicem diametro, flores con- 
tinente fere 100 sessiles. Bracteze sessiles, exteriores foliis similes, interiores minores. Calyces 4 lin. longi, 
medio paullo ampliati, basi attenuati, membranaceo-foliacei, extus hirsuti, 13-nervii, dentibus 5 brevibus 
erectis vel demum patentibus, ore intus nuda. Corolle tubus calycem vix superans; limbi tubo equilongi 
labium superius bifidum, inferius tripartitum, laciniis omnibus elongato-linearibus. Stamina exserta, diver- 
gentia. Antherarum loculi demum divaricati. Carpidia ovoidea, obtusa, glabra, nuda. 
This species has the habit of the three North Californian ones already 
described, but is very distinct in the form of the leaves, and in the hairiness.

145. Statice Limonium, Linn.—Santa Clara. 
Found frequently on the eastern and western coasts of North America, as 
well as on the Chilian and South Brazilian coasts, and always apparently the 
same as our common European S. Limonium.

146. Borrnaavia polymorpha, A. Rich.—Hook. et Arn. Bot. Beech, p. 308.—Bay of Mag- 
dalena. 
This is a perfectly smooth form, common on the western coast of tropical 
America, in the South Sea Islands, &c., and probably the same as B. mutabilis, 
Br., as well as the several Linnean and other species included by A. Richard 
under the above name; but the limits of the species in this difficult and most 
uninteresting genus are far from being as yet ascertained.
