THE CRYPTOGAMIC FLORA OF KENT. 207 



ginata vel apice retuse bidentata, anguste alata. Semina 3 lin. 

 longa, dense hirsuta ; arillodium validum, teres, alam tenuem 

 gerens, usque ad basim seminis attingentem. Sierra Nevada, ab 

 El Dorado Co. usque ad Oregon, in pinetis. Much resembling P. 

 Nutkcma; but stems more shrubby, stouter and more branched. 

 P. Xutkana, Torr. et Gr., 1. c. ; not DC. (fide S. Watson) ; P. 

 cucuUata, Newberry, Pac. E. Eep., vi., 70, not Benth. ; P. cornuta, 

 Kellogg in Proc. Calif. Acad., i., 61. 



Under P. subspinosa (p. 140) insert: — Wats., Bot. Cal., 59; 

 Parry, Am. Nat., ix., 269. Erase " Central Mexico, Parr, et Palm 

 (1878), No. 42 (?)," which is certainly P.jmhenila, Gray. Instead 

 of "it is the only spiny Polygala of the Northern Continent," 

 read " this and the following are the only spiny Polygalas of the 

 Northern Continent." 



After P. subspinosa (p. 140) insert : — 

 f5a. (No. 36). P. acanthoclada, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad., xi., 73. 

 " Fruticulosa, bipedalis, ramosissima, subcinereo-pubescens, spinis 

 gracilibus armata ; foliis lineari-spathulatis, rigidulis (lin. 3-4 

 longis); floribus subaxillaribus sparsis albidis lin. 2 lougis, j)edi- 

 cello basi bibracteato j^arum brevioribus ; alls obovati^, sepalis 

 caeteris duplo majoribus, corollam adaequantibus ; carina breviter 

 cymbiformi, nuda, dorso umbonata ; capsula ignota. Sides of 

 bluffs on the San Juan river, in the south-eastern border of Utah, 

 T. S. Brandegee -in Hayden's Exploration. Resembles P. siib- 

 sjnnosa of Watson, but woody, the flowers scattered, pale, and less 

 than half the size ; the free portion of the corolla of 5 short obtuse 

 lobes nearly equal in length and little longer than the united 

 j)ortion, emarginate ; the keel much larger, a conical boss on the 

 upper part of the back ; no crest ; spines of the branchlets often 

 compound." 



This raises the number of sjDecies not included in Watson's 

 ' Bibliographical Index ' or Martius's ' Flora Brasiliensis ' to 36 ; 

 and the total number of American species of Polygala to 156. 

 P. Nuth-ana f cnciiUataJ , californica, and acanthoclada are, however, 

 all named in the addenda to Watson's Index.
