The colour of (he flower I cannot determine From my specimens. 

 This plant has much resemblance to the A, viridiflora of Pursh, but 

 differs in the length of its stamineul crown, and in ifs pubescence, 

 ^hich is not so soft as in that species. My specimens have been so 

 much injured that I cannot now determine whether it possesses the 

 horn-like appendages belunging to this genus. 1 insert it here until 

 it can be fvuther examined.
