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

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

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



Lewisia brachycaltx, Engelm. MSS. : foliis spathulatis vel sub- 

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

 calvce 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 pygmozum and 

 Galandrinia acavlis, but necessarily associated with Lewi.-ia on account 

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

 sissile at base) ; yet too closely related to Galandrinia. 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. 



Letjcothoe Da visile, Torr. MSS. : Eideucothoe ; foliis elliptico- 

 oblongis utrinque obtusis tenuissime serrulatis breviter petiolatis ; 

 racemis terminalibtis laxifloris folia longe superantibus ; sepalis ovato- 

 lanceolatis cum bracteolis bracteisque subscarioso - albidis ; antherse 

 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 ber in that district. In mode of growth, inflores- 

 cence, and flowers, this interesting new Western 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 rainoso repente multicaulis ; foliis ovatis subrhombeis ob- 

 longisve obtusis inciso-paucidentatis lobatisve nunc lobis infimis fere 

 discretis lyratis utrinque nitenti-sericeis, petiolo laminam a?quante 

 caule et inflorescentia hispidulis ; cyma terminali parva conferta ; 

 corolla crerulea campanulata calyce paullo longiore, appendicibus latis- 

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

 sula oblonga acuta calycem adrequante. — Ebbett's Pass, and near 

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

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

 inches high.
