long; anthers very small, 2-line long, oblong, obtuse at both 
ends; ovary bristly. ; 
Summit of Trinity Mountains, California, July, 1886, found 
near lingering snow-drifts, by Mr. C. C. Marshall This 
gooseberry is in some sense intermediate between R. Men- 
ziesii and R. Lobbii, and the flowers are remarkably large 
and handsome, even surpassing those of R. speciosum in all 
save brilliancy of color. 
MITELLA DIVERSIFOLIA. Leaves all radical, ovate to orbi- 
cular, with 3—5 somewhat irregular, shallow but angular 
lobes, these entire, and the whole margin somewhat ciliolate, 
the base cordate, with nearly closed sinus: scape a foot high, 
indistinetly unilateral: calyx-lobes white and petaloid al- 
though minute : petals white, euneate-oblanceolate, palmately 
trifid at the abruptly widened apex: stamens 5. 
From the same region as the preceding, and by the same 
collector. 
M. ovatis. Leaves all radical, 2 inches long, oval or oblong, 
obtuse, cordate at base, with closed sinus, the margin with 
shallow rounded lobes and mucronulate teeth, the upper sur- 
face with scattered, rather coarse whitish curved hairs: 
petioles ferruginous-hirsute with deflexed hairs: scape a foot 
high, glabrous or nearly so; pedicels very short: calyx-lobes 
short and broad, not whitened : petals green, pinnately parted 
at apex into 3—5 linear lobes: stamens 5. 
Collected in Mendocino County, California, many years ago 
by Mr. Bolander, and ticketed * M. trifida,” but that species 
has petals of a very different character, much more like those 
of the new one above described, being white, and palmately 
trifid. In H. ovalis the foliage is of a firm texture, more like 
those of a Heuchera in this respect, than they are in other 
species of Milella. 
GODETIA MICROPETALA. Near G. purpurea but more slen- 
der, 1—3 feet high, puberulent, the ovaries villous : leaves an
