ADDITIONS AND EMENDATIONS 



Order RANUNCULACE^E. 



1. CLEMATIS, p. 7-11. 



2. C. ovata. — We have a specimen from Tennessee (collected by Dr. 

 Currev), which proves that tliis species is at least sometimes climbing, 

 and the lower leaves compound : hence it should probably stand next to 

 C. Viorna. 



4. C. Douglasii (Hook. !) — Carpels villous, with long plumose tails; stem 

 and peduncle strongly striate. — We have specimens in fruit from Douglas's 

 last Oregon Collection. 



5. C. Virginiana. — The syn. C Catesbyana, Pursh, must be excluded. 

 The leaves are trifoliolate, or rarely pinnately 5-foliolatc. — Virgin's- 

 bower. 



6 («). C. Cateshyana (Pursh): minutely pubescent; panicles divaricate- 

 dichotomous; the flowers mostly ditrcious (small) ; leaves biternate or pin- 

 nately 5-foliolate ; leaflets ovate, often slightly cordate, 3-nerved at the base, 

 mostly 3-lobed ; the lobes entire; sepals hncar-oblong ; carpels with rather 

 short plumose tails. — Pursh! fl. 2. p. 736; DC. ! prodr. I. p. 4. C. 

 Plukenetii, DC. I. c. p. 7 ? 



S. Carolina, Cateshy ! (v. sp. in herb. Lamb.) Georgia, Le Conte! — The 

 leaflets are smaller than in the preceding, acute or acuminate, and often 

 narrow ; the pedicels tomentose-pubcscent, 6cc. It is perhaps too near C- 

 dioica, Linn. — The very poor specimen (in herb. Banks. !) on which C. 

 Plukenetii was founded, seems to belong to tliis species. 



7. C. holosericea (Pursh !) is very different from C. Virginiana, and nearly 

 related to our C. Drummondii (which sometimes bears entire leaflets), and 

 perhaps not specifically distinct from it. (v. sp. in herb. Lamb.) 



10. C. 2^auciflora is, by an error of the press, printed C. parvijlora. 



11. C.lasiantha. — CaUfornia, Douglas! 



13. C. cylindrica. — Carpels silky-villous when young, but not plumose, 

 at length only pubescent. — Add syn. C crispa, Ell. ! sk. 2. p. 49, which
