On the banks of the Missouri. Lewis. 1/. June. July. 

 V. V. in Hort. Fraser ; v. s. specimen imperjeclum in 

 Herd Lewis. This singular species resembles O. acaule 

 of Cavanilles. I'he tlowers open in the evening, are 

 white, changing to red, and of an agreeable scent. The 

 erroneous description given in the place above quoted 

 was owing to a very imperfect specimen in the Lew- 

 isian collection.

 racters.
