in Bentham and Hooker's Genera Plantarum, is clearly inseparable 

 from Toimnasinia, as those authors have indicated, and so to be 

 referred to Peucedanum. 



Garrta buxifolia : foliis parvis ovato-ellipticis mucronatis eras- 

 sis integerrimis supra mox glabris nitidis subtus argenteo-sericeis ; 

 spicis foemineis pendulis brevibus, bracteis alte connatis plerisque uni- 

 floris ; ovario glabro. — A low shrub, on the Red Mountains, Mendo- 

 cino Co., Bolander. Only the female plant. Leaves about the size 

 of those of Box, glossy bright green and glabrous above as soon as 

 they are grown, whitened beneath with a very fine and close silky 

 pubescence which seems scarcely if at all deciduous with age, almost 

 veinless. Female spikes nodding from the first, simple and short, sel- 

 dom much longer than the leaves. Pedicels very short and included 

 in the truncate-connate bracts ; the calyx-teeth obsolete. 



Garrya Fremontii, Torr. Bot. Whippl. A specimen in fruit 

 found by Mr. Bolander " in a tavern on the Sonora road " in January, 

 1866, has the leaves oftener obtuse or refuse ; the fruiting spikes erect, 

 with bracts like those of the male. Berries glabrous, very short- 

 pedicelled : the two short calyx-teeth manifest. 



Lonicera Breweri (Gray, in Proceed. Am. Acad. 6, p. 587, 

 char, emend.) : caule erecto ; foliis brevi-petiolatis ovalibus utrinque 

 rotundatis seu majoribus pi. m. acuminatis basique subacutis mem- 

 branaceis cum ramulis junioribus pubescentibus, pube brevi molli ; 

 pedunculis floribus vix duplo longioribus ; bracteis bracteolisque con- 

 similibus minimis rotundatis cum basi ovariorum coadunatorum connatis 

 obsolescentibus ; corolla lurido-purpurea campanulata late gibbosa 

 ultra medium bilabiata, fauce ad staminum insertionem styloque vil- 

 losissimis. — Collected at the Mariposa Grove, Bolander, larger and 

 more developed than Prof. Brewer's specimens from Mount Dana. 

 [Also by Prof. Torrey, at Donner's Pass, &c] The leaves in the 

 present specimens 1^, or the larger and later ones 2 inches in length, 

 and disposed to be acute at both ends or acuminate. Ovaries most 

 commonly united to or near the summit, the short calyx-teeth usually 

 blunt. — The present well-developed specimens show it is not L. nigra, 

 nor even L. Chamissoi, but the Mandchurian L. Maximowicii, Rupr. 

 to which this is most nearly related. In that, however, the pubes- 

 cence is much more sparse and pilose ; the leaves more ovate and 

 taper-pointed, with veinlets conspicuously reticulated ; the peduncles 

 much longer ; the ovaries longer, tapering, and less united ; the style 

 more hairy, &c.
