 angles. He figures the leaves as too narrow. The var. folin- 

 snin is the broad-leaved form not deserving varietal rank. '\ 

 phytolaccaefortne has not a character to stand on except the

Atriplex elegans var. fasciculata (Watson Proc. Am. 

 Acad. 17 378 as species). This is a form with minute teeth 

 and depressed habit. 



Atriplex elegans var. coronata (Watson Proc. Am. Acad. 

 9 114 as species). This is the common form with deeply 

 gashed bracts and smooth sides ; it is tall and possibly endures 



sionally biennial at El Paso, Texas, but is mostly annual west- 

 Euphorbia Rinconis n. sp. 



This has the h^bit of E. Fendleri : perennial wdth few and 

 prostrate stems dichotomously branched from the base, only 

 the upper internodes shorter than the leaves, stems about 4 

 inches long: leaves very oblique, entire, revolute, sessile, tri- 

 angular-cordate to triangular-ovate, acute, 3-4 lines long, 

 rough-ashy even to the pods, opposite; flowers axillary and 

 unilateral and in short leafv racemes ; involucres campanulate, 

 n.ea'rly sessile; glands reniform, large, green, destitute of ap- 

 pendages, or with the merest rudiments; pods 1 line long, 

 acutely angled ; seed oblong-ovate, 4-angIed with concave 

 sides mostly smooth, but dull and rarely obscurely undulate. 

 This appears nearest to E. Fendleri and polycarpa. but differs 

 from the former m the pubescence, acute leaves and few stems, 

 r.nd from *he latter in the ovate and large leaves, few branches, 

 rough pubescence, lack of appendages, large pods and invo- 



CeHis occidentals var. reticulata (C. reticulata Torrey 

 Ann. Lye, N. Y. 2 (1828) 247 as species).
