﻿PLANTjE FENDLERIAN^E. 



Bent's Fort and Santa Fe. There are also fruiting specimens, gathered between the 

 middle of August and January. — The specimens have larger and smoother foliage than 

 the original ones of Nuttall. The leaves are all 5-7-foliolate. 



/f2. C. Pitcheri, Ton. §* Gray, Fl. N. Am. 1. p. 10. Council Grove, August. 

 — The styles are entirely glabrous in flower, but become more or less pubescent in fruit. 

 The species extends northeastward to Illinois, where it was gathered by Dr. Mead. 

 S 3. Atragene Ochotensis, Pall. Fl. Ross. 2. p. 69 ; DC. Prodr. I.p. 10. Sides and 

 base of steep rocks, in shady places near the creek, Santa Fe ; climbing over shrubs. 

 Gathered in flower from May 12 to June 3. — It is singular that this species should have 

 been for the first time detected in the New World at a point so far south. The 

 foliage, ice, is just as in A. alpina, of which it is most probably a mere variety, 

 as Schlechtendal has suggested in respect to the plant from Kamtschatka. But the 

 staminodia arc linear, at first scarcely longer than the ordinary stamens, and are all man- 

 ifestly antheriferous ; at length they become a little dilated upwards, and acute or apic- 

 ulate. How slight dependence is to be placed upon the form of these organs, however, 

 has been shown by Ledebour (Fl. Alt. 2. p. 378), when justly reducing A. Sibirica to 

 A. alpina. Specimens gathered by myself at Ischl, in Upper Austria, exhibit them 

 strongly emarginate. Nor are they uniformly acute in A. Americana, but oftener spatu- 

 late and obtuse, as delineated in Genera Fl. Amer. Bor.-Orientalis Illustrata, t. 1. 

 *- 4. Anemone cylindrica, Gray. Shady places in a mountain valley a few miles 

 east of Santa Fe ; flowering in June. — This species often flowers after the manner 

 of A. Virginiana, developing involucels and secondary peduncles. It should doubtless 

 be referred to De Candolle's section Anemospermos. 



5. Pulsatilla patens, Mill. ; Torr. &■ Gray, Fl. I.e. Mountains, east of Santa Fe. 

 ' f6. Caltha leptosepala, DC. ; Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. I.p. 22. t. 10. Sunny margin 

 of the creek, six miles above Santa Fe, in the mountains. — There are only one or two 

 specimens ; and they agree with the plant gathered by Dr. James, in having more oblong 

 leaves than in Hooker's figure, with so acute a sinus as to appear almost sagittate. 

 •" 7. Ranunculus tridentatus, H. B. K. Nov. Gen. 8f Sp. 5. p. 42 ; Benth. ! PI. 

 Hart io. no. 1 . Wet places, forming large patches by sending off runners in all direc- 

 tions Closely resembling R. cymbalaria, Pursh, but larger in all its parts : the flowers 



are as large as those of R. salsuginosus, and 9-12-petalous in all my specimens. 

 . 8. R. affinis, R. Br. Var. /3. Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. 1. p. 13. /. 6, A. Moist places, 

 Santa Fe ; April to June. — The primordial radical leaves are barely crenate-toothed ; 

 the others 3-5-parted or lobed. Carpels pubescent, in cylindrical-oblong heads. 



9. Aquilegia Canadensis, Linn. Rocks in a mountain valley, near Santa Fe. 

 A dwarf form, with more slender spurs than usual : but I observe no other difference.
