• 1 57. Arenaria (Eremogone) Fendleri (sp. nov.) : caudice poljcephalo; turionibus 

 imbricato-polyphyllis ; foliis prselongis erectis setaceis planiusculis margine serrulato- 

 scabris cauleque simplici glabris, caulinis ocbreato-connatis ; cymis strictis sparsifloris et 

 calycibus glanduloso-pubescentibus ; pedicellis gracilibus ; sepalis ovato-lanceolatis sen- 

 sim acuminatis cuspidatis inferne late scariosis medio viridibus trinerviis petala obovata 

 subjpquantibus ; stylis exsertis. — Prairies, five miles west of Las Vegas ; August. — A 

 grassy-leaved species, belonging to a group not before known in the New World, and to 

 the subdivision Chromolemmce of Fenzl. My specimen is eleven inches high, just in 

 flower, but destitute of fruit. The leaves of the sterile radical tufts are 3 to 4 inches 

 long; the cauline pairs (3 or 4) successively shorter. Petals white, 4 lines in length. 



58. Stellaria lanuginosa, Torr. &• Gray, Fl. 1. p. 187; — a sraoothish variety. 

 Foot of high rocks, two miles east of Mora River ; August. 



62. S. lanuginosa ; the ordinary form. Santa Fe Creek, in the mountains ; June. 



59. Mohringia umbrosa, Fend in Ledeb. Fl. Ross. 1. p. 372. Rocky places, at 

 the foot of mountains, Santa Fe Creek ; May. — Plant multicipital, with the leaves 

 approximate, smaller in all its parts than the figure of Ledebour in Icones PL Fl. 

 Ross. t. 322. 



61. Cerastium nutans, Raf. ; Torr. $> Gray, Fl. Up. 189. Santa Fe Creek, in 

 the mountains ; May, June.

 Santa Fe Creek, in the mountains ; May, June. 



64. S. Antirrhina, Linn. Same habitat as the last, 

 t 65. S. Drummondii, var. (S. multicaule, Nutt. ! in Torr. #• Gray, I. c.) A large 

 state. With the last. 



f66. S. Scouleri, Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. 1. p. 88? var. ? Woodlands, six miles west 

 of Las Vegas ; August. 



duplo breviorem includente ; seminibus circa 3 asperis. — Cosiquiriachi, in the State of Chihuahua ; fl. in June 

 and July. — About 6 inches high, much branched and diffuse; branches at right angles with the stem. 

 Styles of two shapes, short with minute stigmata, and longer than the ovary with 3 distinct recurved stigmata ; 

 both forms on the same plant, and both flowers apparently equally fertile." Engelm. Mss. — From this. 

 No. 697 of Coulter's Mexican collection (specimens of which I have received from Prof. Harvey) scarcely 

 differs, except that the plant is less diffuse, the leaves nearly plane, the alar pedicels shorter, and the petals 

 smaller, — differences which are likely to arise from station. *
