1 This very cornmou fitld buttercup of Califoruia was uamecl by Nuttill. in 

 honor of Ferdinand Deppe, a German botanist who had been his predecessor 

 in field work on this Coast. The name, R. Deppei, was printed, aloug with 

 the essential character of the species, not much less than twenty years be- 

 fore the appearance of Beutham's R. Gallfonncus. 



- Mr. Nuttall was entirely correct in placing this plant under Dentaria, 

 and if the genus be kept up it must remain there. But, as Bentham and 

 Hooker have said, Dent'irla does not differ from Cardxmine, either in habit 

 or character. 



There is another Californian species which has, until now, remained nom- 

 inally under the former genus, and may be called Cardamine Nuttallii=: 

 Dentaria iene'la, Pursh, Fl. ii. 439; Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 87; Brew. & Wats. 

 Bot. Cal. i. 30. The adjective specific name tenella has already been used in 

 Cardamine.
