BOTANICAL BULLETIN. 35 



growing on it here the leaves of all these three species. Pogonia pendula, Lind., 

 was found last summer, and this spring some beautiful specimens of P. verticillata. 

 Nutt. were secured. Jledcolu Vinjinica, L. has been found this season in small 

 patches, but promises to spread. Uvularia sessilifoUa, L. is blooming only in toler- 

 able abundance. Late last year Ileteranthera reniformis, R. & P. was found occupy- 

 ing two or three swampy places. Such are a few of the additions made within a 

 year to the flora of Jefferson County and we hope that a season tliat has begun 

 so auspiciously as this one may bring us many new and rare forms. — Ed. 



The Sixth Number of Contributions to American Botany by Sereno Watson, 

 issued February, 187G, is divided into three parts. The first part is on the Flora of 

 Guadalupe Island. Lower California, giving us the position of the island and the 

 resemblances of its flora to those of other regions. The author concludes that the 

 flora is to be considered a part of that of California. The number of species col- 

 lected was 131. Of exogenous plants there "were 102, of endogenous 8. The re- 

 maining 21 were Ferns, Mosses and Liverworts. The second part gives the list of 

 this collection with Dr. Palmer's notes. The third and most important part con- 

 sists of description of new species of plants, chiefly Californian. There are also 

 revisions of four genera, Trifolinm with 39 species, Lathyvns with 13 species, J/e- 

 garrhiza with 5 species and Peucedanum with 20 species.
