66 FLOR. TELLUR. 



brevior, fil. siibiil. antheris bilobis. Ovar. adh. 

 i^lobos. supra planiusc. Stylis 2 brevis, Stigma 

 obt. Cattle ranioso, fol. dwisis^fl. term. — An- 

 nuals ; several of the Saxifragas with trincrve 

 petals belong here probably, such as Sax. hyp- 

 noides, moscliata^ platlpetala, cotyledon, tri- 

 daettjlls, aquatlca, elongela, &lc. but the real 

 Types are — 



237. Ponista petrea Raf. Saxifr. do L. Jaq. 

 181. auct. fol. pet. pahnatis tripartitis, lac. trifi- 

 dis, caule decumb. raniosisimo, pedunc longiss. 

 unifl. petalis emarg. — Alps of Europe, Sax. ru~ 

 pestris, adscendens and pona said to be the 

 same must be compared again. 



238. Ponista oregonensis Raf. Saxifr. petrea 

 Hooker fl. and hot. mag. 3026. Glanduloso 

 pilosa, caule erecto, fol. trilobis, lobis integris 

 trifidisque, radic. petiol, caulinis sessil. cuneatis 

 pedic. brevis cal. obi. obt. petalis cuneatis retusis 

 — Mts. Oregon of North America, certainly a 

 widely deviated species, not a mere variety, 

 sometimes abortive flowers. 



239. Hexapiioma Raf. (6 pustules) Cal. 

 libero Spartit. reflexo, petalis 5 ineq. 3 unguic. 

 major bipustulatis,2 minor sessilis nonpustulatis.

 liberum bifidum. Siihacaiilis scapo panicidato 

 — How can a sensible botanist deem this of same 

 Genus as Ponista for instance ? The types are 

 the Saxlfraga leucanthe mi folia of North 

 America, 2 Sp. blended in one, and a third is 

 the pyrenaic Sp. even hardly of this Genus ! this 

 is an instance of utter confusion of ideas, prin- 

 ciples, characters and species, by not attending 

 to the original descriptions. 



240. Hexaphoma ferruginea, Raf. Saxifr. 

 do. Graham. Sax. leucanth. Hooker flora, bot.
