29 C. GLOMERIFLORA. Annual, 2—4 inches high, diffusely 
branching and flowering from the base, very hispid through- 
out; leaves linear-oblong, {—4 inch long: flowers in glomer- 
ules of 2 or 3 in the axils of the leaves and at the ends of the 
branehlets : corolla very minute : ealyx very bristly, its linear 
segments only j line long, a little surpassed by the ovate- 
acuminate speckled nutlet whose ventral groove is closed 
throughout, not even opening into the depressed and wholly 
separate, obseurely triangular and entirely basal scar.

Mr. C. F. Sonne. 
The wealth of the Truckee River region in peculiar plants 
of this alliauce is remarkable, and is being well brought out 
by the zeal and diligence of Truckee's resident botanist. The 
present species has more points of contact with the very type 
of Cryptanthe than any other known plant of North America, 
witness the minute corollas and the inflorescence. The nut- 
let is altogether peculiar, its basal part being somewhat 
umbilicately gathered around the sear, which latter does not 
run into the groove at all.
