CEnothera Whitneyi, p. 340, is evidently Godetia grandijlora, 

 Lindl. Bot. Reg. 28, t. 61 ; but it may retain this name in CEnothera 

 on account of the old (E. grandijlora, Ait. 



Lewisia BRACHf calyx, Engelm. MSS. : foliis spathulatis vel sub- 

 linearibus ; scapo baud articulate nudo (ima basi tantum bibracteolato) ; 

 calyce herbaceo decussatim 4-sepalo (sepalis ovatis) petalis 7-9 cune- 

 ato-obovatis 2 - 3-plo brevioribus ; staminibus 10-15; stigmatibus 

 5-7 stylo breviore. — W. New Mexico, Dr. Newberry. Fort Whip- 

 ple, Arizona, Doctors Coues and Palmer ; and Utah, Dr. Brewer, in 

 herb. Engelmann. Plant with the habit of Talinum pygmoeum and 

 Calandrinia acaulis, but necessarily associated with Lewisia on account 

 of the number of the sepals and the dehiscence of the capsule (circum- 

 sissile at base) ; yet too closely related to Calandrinia. Flowers less 

 than an inch long, " fragrant ; petals white with purple veins." Coty- 

 ledons incumbent ; those of L. rediviva are figured in Bot. Beechey, 

 probably incorrectly, as accumbent. G. Englemann. 



Leucothoe Davisi^, Torr. MSS. : Eideucothoe ; foliis elliptico- 

 oblongis utrinque obtusis tenuissime serrulatis breviter petiolatis ; 

 racemis terminalibus laxifloris folia longe superantibus ; sepalis ovato- 

 lanceolatis cum bi'acteolis bracteisque subsearioso - albidis ; antherte 

 loculis bimucronatis. — Nevada Co., near Eureka, California, Miss N. 

 J. Davis ; one out of a fine and beautifully prepared collection of plants 

 recently made by her in that district. In mode of growth, inflores- 

 cence, and flowers, this interesting new AVestern representative of the 

 genus accords with Leucothoe proper (as characterized in Gray's 

 Manual), except that the racemes are terminal and much surpassing the 

 leaves. These are one and a half or two inches long. 



Phacelia (Eutoca) hydrophylloides, Torr. MSS. : humilis, 

 e rhizomate ramoso repente multicaulis ; foliis ovatis subrhombeis ob- 

 longisve obtusis inciso-paucidentatis lobatisve nunc lobis infimis fere 

 discretis lyratis utrinque nitenti-sericeis, petiolo laminam aequante 

 caule et inflorescentia hispidulis ; cyma terminal! parva conferta ; 

 corolla C£erulea campanulata calyce pauUo longiore, appendicibus latis- 

 simis maximis ; genitalibus exsertis ; placentis 6 - 8 - ovulatis ; cap- 

 sula oblonga acuta calycem ad^quante. — Ebbett's Pass, and near 

 Lake Tenaya, 8 - 9,000 feet, Brewer. Open woods along the trail of 

 the Yosemite, from 8,000 down to 5,000 feet, Bolander. Stems 3-6 

 inches high.
