Discovered by A. Menzies, Esq. at Owyhee, during his voyage with Captain Vancouve 



It 



remarkable for the two kinds of leaves which it bears 



those of the stem being perfectly destitute 



of a diaphanous hair point ; while those of the peduncle, which in fact is but a prolongation of a 

 branch, are singularly toothed, somewhat spinous at the margins, and terminated with a waved 

 hair-like point, It will rank near L. aristatum of Humboldt.
