In Mr. Douglas's Herbarium it is considered the same 

 as C. ciliosum, a plant described by Pursh, from specimens 

 found by Lewis and Clarke on the banks of the Koos- 

 koosky ; and we were formerly disposed to concur in this 

 opinion. But upon reconsidering Pursh's character of 

 C. ciliosum, to which he ascribes a hirsute tube of the co- 

 rolla, and the small technical differences that are sufficient 

 to distinguish the species of this genus, we have adopted 

 the conclusion that the plant now described is distinct ; it 

 has never any hairs upon its corolla. In the colour of its 

 flowers, it resembles C. Douglasii, a species discovered by 

 Mr. Douglas on the eastern side of America, and described 

 in the Horticultural Transactions. It also approaches 

 C. parviflorum, from which its shewy blossoms practically 

 distinguish it at first sight. 



Drawn in the Garden of the Horticultural Society last
