CHENOPODIACE^.^ 
Chenopodium album, L. Throughout the United States to the Pacific 
and northward to Hudson's Bay and Bear Lake. It occurs in the collection 
in various forms, some of which are beyond doubt indigenous. The ordi- 
nary tall variety with large acutely-toothed leaves, (a form of Var. lietero- 
phijllum, Ledeb.,) was only collected in the Truckee Meadows, Ne- 
vada. (969.) 
Specimens from Blue Spring Valley, Utah, 1"^ or more high, have the 
leaves less than 6" long, ovate, rounded or very acute, entire, or the few 
teeth obtuse or acute ; fruit in numerous dense approximate clusters as large 
as small peas, with the calyx very strongly keeled, nearly covering the seed ; 
October. (970.) 
Forms of Ledebour's Var. integrifolium are more frequent, and espe- 
ciall}! the Var. leptopiiyllum, Moq., with lance-linear or linear entire leaves, 
hoary-farinose, the branches of the panicle rather long and loose, the stems 
low, usually but 1° or often less in height. It has l)een found from Dakota 
to New Mexico and westward, by Nuttall, Nicolet, Gordon, Freimont, 
Wright, and others, and is certainly indigenous, though it appears to run into 
ordinary viride states of C. album. Carrington Island in Salt Lake, and on 
the East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada; 4,500 and 9,000 feet altitude. 
(971.) Larger specimens, approaching the same form, were collected in 
Truckee, Regan, and Diamond Valleys, Nevada; 4-5,500 feet alti- 
tude. (972.) 
Chenopodium Feemonti. More or less farinose, 6'-3° high, diffusely 
branched ; leaves ol)long, ovate or broadly triangular, 4-15" long, mostly 
hastate, abruptly attenuate into a slender petiole ; panicle loose and spread- 
ing with short bractlets; calyx-lobes carinate-cucullate ; seed horizontal, 
smooth, and shining.— Collected by Fremont on the North Platte upon his 
first expedition. Truckee and Monitor Valleys and on the foot-hills and 
ridges of the East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada; 4-800 feet altitude ; July, 
August. (973.) 
Chenopodium hybridum, L. Foot-hills of the East Humboldt Mount- 
ains, Nevada, and in the canons of the AValisatcli ; G-7,000 feet altitude ; 
' The plants of tliis OnU-r in the collection wore mostly examined and the new species named or 
indioatcil Ly Dr. Toi;i;r.v, hut he is not respoiisil.l<- fur the (l»'*^criptions, nor in some rases for the deter-
