"' 71. Talinum parviflorum, Nutt. in Torr. #» Gray, Fl. 1. p. 197. Santa Fe Creek, 

 in the mountains ; and between Rabbit's Ear Creek and McNees Creek ; July, 

 Aug. Flower lilac. — The capsule is oval, and the stamens only jive in the speci- 

 men examined.* 

 * f 72. T. calYcinum (Engelm.) : " rhizomate crasso ; caulibus demum ramosis ; foliis 

 subteretibus elongatis, basi triangulari productis ; pedunculis elongatis nudis ; cyma 

 bracteosa ; sepalis 2 ovato-orbiculatis basi productis cuspidatis persistentibus ; petalis 

 fugacibus calycem bis superantibus; staminibus sub-30 ; stylo elongato [declinato] ; 

 stigmatibus 3 abbreviatis. — In sandy soil, on the Cimarron River; flowering in June. 

 Differs from T. teretifolium by its larger leaves, larger flowers, much larger and persist- 

 ent sepals, larger fruit and seed. Leaves H to 2 inches long; flowers 10 to 11 lines in 

 diameter; capsule and seeds twice as large as in T. teretifolium." Engelm. in JVisli- 

 zen. Report (1848),;;. 88. — Dr. Engelmaun, with whom it has now flowered in culti- 

 vation, writes that it is quite ornamental, the flowers being even 15 lines in diameter, 

 and that it is further distinguished from T. teretifolium by the style being much exserted 

 beyond the stamens and declined. But the sepals, he remarks, fall away before the 

 capsule ripens. — Fendler's specimens are from the sand-hills, four miles south of the 

 crossing of the Arkansas River ; " the flower fine red, of the size of a dime." 



f 73. Portulaca pilosa, Linn. Sand-hills of the Arkansas, &.c. ; Sept. Flowe- 

 red, nearly the size of a half-dime. 



t 74. P. oleracea, Linn. Santa Fe ; common in waste places. 



* The plant of Geyer's collection named " Claytonia spathulata " by Hooker has the leaves all alternate 

 and linear, and the stem branches repeatedly. It is surely different from the plant figured in the Flora Bor.- 

 Am. t. 74, and is the C. dichotoma, Nutt. in Torr. cy Gray, Fl. 1. p. 202. — From the Kooskooskee, by Mr. 

 Spalding, I have large and unusually prolonged specimens of C. exigua, Torr. Sf Gray, I. c. ; a plant which, 

 in the Suppl. to Bot. Beech. Voy. is referred to C. spathulata ; but I think incorrectly, judging from the figure 

 and description of the latter species, of which I have no specimen.
