calyx of a Caltha, corolla of Helleborus, and an utrienlar 
carpel not like that of any genus of its family, a clear generie 
type, was dedicated to him two or three years since as 
KUMLIENIA ;' but these small tokens, like our worded tributes, 
are all inadequate to speak the praises, or worthily perpetu- 
ate the memory of a man so pure, so simple, so noble and so 
well beloved. 
A New BRICKELLIA. 
By ELMER C. Drew. 
BnrckELLIA KwNaPPrANA. Shrubby and low (perhaps a foot 
high), the slender stems with a smooth white bark : branchlets 
and floral leaves hispidulous-scabrous, somewhat glutinous : 
leaves an inch long, lanceolate, remotely and coarsely toothed, 
or subentire: heads numerous, crowded upon the panicled 
branchlets, four lines long; bracts of the involucre multi- 
serial, erect, obtuse, conspicuously 3-nerved: flowers about 
5: achenes sparsely appressed-setulose. 
Communicated by Mr. M. A. Knapp, who collected it in 
the neighborhood of the Mohave River, California, in the 
autumn of the current year. The specimens are fragmentary, 
and the species is closely allied to B. multiflora; differing 
from it in having a rough pubescence, fewer heads and 
notched leaves.
