RANUNCULACE^. 463 



R. juniperinUS, Jones. Nearly related to and Avith much the habit of R. Antler sonii : 

 stem taller aud more slender, commonly branched, bearing one leaf and mostly 2 flowers : 

 leaves more finely dissected : petals internally white, but becoming at least externally rose- 

 purple : akenes flat, not inflated, 1 to 1^ lines in length, hence much smaller than in R. 

 Andersonii. — Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. ser. 2, v. 616. R. Andersunli, var. tenelLus, Wats. 

 Bot. King Exp. 7, t. 1, f. 8-10. — Rocky soil, coniferous woods, Utah, Watson, Parry, John- 

 son, Jones. Good fruit-characters separate this from the preceding. 



R. Cymbalaria, Pcrsh, p. 23. On last line of page, strike out " ed. 3," aud for " 173," 

 read, 265. 



R. alismaefolius, var. alismellus, Gray, p. 27. The extreme form of this plant with 

 broad aud even cordate leaves, the R. Populago of Greene has been redescribed as R. 

 Cusickii by Jones, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. ser. 2, v. 615. Although it may well be worthy 

 varietal rank, it lacks constant or satisfactory characters for specific separation. 



R. Lemmoni, Gray, p. 28. This rare species has recently been rediscovered uear Truckee, 

 California, by C. F. Sonne. 



R. glaberrimus, Hook., p. 28. Add syn. R. glaberrimus, var. ellipticus, Greene, Fl. 

 Francis. 298, a form again raised to specific rank by Greene, Pittonia, iii. 92. 



R. AUegheniensis, Britton, p. 32. Specimens of this interesting and geographically dis- 

 severed species have been collected on Mt. Monotuck, Easthampton, Massachusetts, Purdie, 

 aud in the Adirondack Mts., ace. to Britton. 



R- recurvatus, Poir., p. 33. Occurs as far west as Montana, ace. to Small. 



R. fascicularis, Mdhl., p. 37. For "E. New England and Texas," read, E. New Eng- 

 land to Texas. 



13 a. Eranthis htemAlis, L., p. 42. In line 3 of descr., for " relict," read, relic. 



14. AQUILEGIA, Tourn. The etymology of the generic name is at 

 best doubtful, 



A. brevistyla, Hook., p. 43. Add lit. Rydberg, Contrib. U. S. Nat. Herb. iii. 481, t. 18. 

 A. saximontana, P. A. Rydberg, p. 43. Add lit. Rydberg, 1. c. 482, t. 19. Perhaps too 



nearly related is the recently proposed A. Laramiensis, A. Nelson, Wyoming Exper. Sta. 



Bull, xxviii. 78. 



A. Jonesii, Parry, p. 43. Add lit. Gard. & For. ix. 365, f. 48. For " Maria Pass," read 

 Old Marias Pass. Specimens with taller bibracteate scape and larger leaflets yet probably 

 of this species have been collected on Sheep Mt., S. Brit. America, by Macoun. 



A. CSerulea, James, p. 44. The following varieties have recently been proposed. 



Var. alpina, A. Nelson, 1. c. Flowers smaller, yellow, with short spurs; upper 

 leaflets entire. —Alpine region. Union Peak, Wyoming, Nelson. Professor M. E.Jones 

 suggests that this may well be a hybrid of A. ccendea and A. flavescens. 



Var. calcarea, Jones. Glandular-pubescent : leaves reduced ; leaflets small, thick, 

 firm in texture, closely approximated or imbricated by 3's : flowers half to two thirds as 

 large as in the typical form : sepals blue-purple : petals roseate. — Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. 

 ser. 2, V. 619. — Barren soil, Utah, Kanab, Mrs. Thompson, Cannonville, Jones. Well 

 marked. 



15. DELPHINIUM, Tourn. 



D. Andersonii, Gray, p. 48. For "very glabrous," read, nearly glabrous. 



In note 1, p. 49, for " D. Blockinana>," read, D. Blochmana'. 



D. recurvatum, and D. Emilise, Greene, p. 51. From authenticated specimens 

 (namod, it is said, l)y Professor Grocuc liimself) these species seem referable to D. hes- 

 periiim and D. variegatum respectively.
