range, it is easily and necessarily separate from Dr. Parry's 

 weak, depressed herb of the moist rocks of the higher ele- 

 vations. 



M. citriodora, Greene, 



(Bull. Torr. Club. IX. 63,) which for the Syn. Fl. was 

 transferred by Dr. Gray to Hemizonia, has lately been sent 

 from Modoc County in a state with akenes laterally com- 

 pressed, the thickness from side to side being considerably 

 less than the measurement from back to ventral angle. They 

 are therefore beyond dispute in this case the akenes of a 

 Madia, and imperatively remand the species to that genus of 

 which, in all its conditions it has strictly the habit 

 and appearance. Mrs. Austin, the collector of these inter- 

 esting specimens, reports of them the same pleasant odor of 

 lemons, which suggested the specific name. 



Altogether distinct from this, and, as to form of the 

 akenes, most divergent from all other species of the genus, 

 is the following, which has not hitherto been described, 

 namely: 



M. anomala, Greene. 



(Gray, Syn. Fl. 307, under Hemizonia citriodora). Less 

 than a foot high, rather stout and paniculately branched; 

 lightly hirsute and very viscid-glandular: ray-flowers 3 — 5» 

 the ligules greenish-yellow: disk-flowers 3, all fertile: bracts 

 of the involucre and of the receptacle similar, the latter dis- 

 connected, each almost completely enclosing its akene: 

 akenes of ray and disk all alike, obovate with obtuse apex 

 and truncate base, slightly gibbous, but well rounded on all 

 sides, without even a ventral angle. 



El Dorado County, 1883, and Lake County, on Cobb 

 Mountain, 1884, Mrs. Curran. The plant has no trace of 

 the fragrance of 31. citriodora, nor any close relation to that 

 species. It looks more like a stout and dwarfish 31. diss it i-
